This burst meta has got to end

Clockwork Mouse··5 votes·1,098 views

What on this Earth is fair about a Zed ulting you, missing every shuriken, only hitting his shadow spin, and yes STILL from 100% HP people die?! Why is Amumu with one AP item enough to burst down most of someone's HP bar early game? Why a lot of things, but can we have RIot admit there is an issue with how much damage is in the game? Is anyone that loses their HP bar in a time faster than human reaction speed sitting there thinking that they got outplayed somehow?

You need to provide a bit more context. A Zed is not one shotting you with just his ult unless he is very, very fed. Same with an Amumu bursting you with a single AP item.

That is just not true. An assassin doesn't need to be fed anymore to burst you down, so long as he is at least even. And i seen Amumus lately, ever since the last buff he got things have been wack with him.

Dude, there is no way a Zed ults you and only presses E to kill you. For that to happen, Zed would have to be multiple levels higher than his opponent, he would need to be unbelievably fed, the enemy would need to have no armor, and even then he would still need to get a few autoattacks and maybe Electrocute off.

Also, no way Amumu is bursting anyone from 100-0 with one AP item.

Edit: 20 hours later and still no response or evidence, what a surprise

For a Zed to burst you without hitting shurikens, he has to be massively fed, and even more so for Amumu. That's not a problem with the damage meta. In every meta, if you get a massive gold and xp lead you're gonna one shot squishies in basically every role.

There’s a difference between landing every ability on an assassin and getting a kill, and missing the only dodgeable portion of your kit and getting a kill. :/

here is an idea, maybe an assassin needs to actually land all his abilities on you to take you from 100% HP to nothing. And since when is Amumu an assassin?

Amumu is not bursting anyone down early game that is just a flat out lie,Late game yeah.

Amumu does not have the damage to do that. Like you know I can just look up his numbers right? and see that it's impossible. Also it's the same with zed.

Like why are you lying? there are good examples of high damage right now but you go for things that are impossible.

Damage is actually so stupid right now. Blame stuff like duskblade ect being added into the game. Tons of cdr items like spear of shojin and crap. Tons of free cdr runes. Tons of damage and broke runes like conquerer and electrocute. We honestly need more runes that are utility or not damage like kleptomancy and glacial augment. Remove ignite from the game, just throw the anti heal part on exhaust. Basically you dont even need healing debuff in the game on a summoner, since you can just buy exe calling or someone ap should have a morello.

  1. remove dusk blade.
  2. remove ignite.
  3. buff exhaust/heal/barrier/cleanse.
  4. allow more wards to be placed down.

Right now, ranked is a snowball fest, there is games i get 20 kills an games i get 15+ deaths. there has rarely been an in between. watching hi elo games on youtube or twitch, they are all shit shows of clown fiesta plays and someone dying randomly.

burst meta exists only because current lvl of burst is required to combat ridiculous amount of DPS which adcs and mages like cassio/ryze output. If you want to lower burst then you need to lower dmg of DPS classes too.

If you think thats bad wait till you see mages. They oneshot with less gold, items, levels, skill(skillshots too), from range, use MANA (less restricting resource), with access to dark seal corrupting pot, manaflow, biscuits, TwT. It gets worse
