I played a few normal games for the first time in months

And I ended up playing vs riven, yorick and eventually...Jayce. I don’t really know what’s strong right now; I don’t truly even grasp the new runes system; I don’t even know if the champions I enjoy playing are any good. But what I do know is that regardless of what state the game is in, there has never been a point since Jayces release in late season 2 that he has ever felt even remotely fair to lane against. In many ways, I’d even rather face pantheon than Jayce but at least pantheon is mainly single target damage and is generally much easier to gank.

I just don’t understand why this champion is allowed to exist. The entire lane phase is dictated by whether or not he’s poked you down enough to go all-in to nuke you. Sustain used to be a really good way to deal with him, especially when he was forced to rush year and sacrifice damage but neither of those things really add up anymore. Sustain is weaker and he doesn’t need a mana item now. You can’t engage on him, he can poke you from half way across the lane, even from fog of war. Again, I just don’t understand why this shit is acceptable. I don’t care if he’s even considered good anymore, this is the type of shit that makes me glad I’ve practically quit this game.
