There's no diversity in the game anymore
Scaling champions suck outside of silver/low gold because the games are ending before 25 minutes,
Jungle Exp forces a meta of constantly ganking junglers that barely farm which accelerates the game insanely to where you know who's won generally by 15 minutes (yes I know silver and gold players constantly throw and the games are variable because of this)
You can't really build much other than the meta items or you fall even more behind in this fast paced meta
Elder is too strong, should a team that got all 4 dragons and has been winning decently hard have a chance to lose the entire game off Elder ? I don't really think so, it sounds good on paper but the situations where it's actually happened are pretty tragic...why even have the other dragons?
I will admit old dragon wasn't really useful for much, but it seems like everything now is just in the game to encourage everyone to skirmish as much as possible
it's not a slow methodical game of skill anymore, it favors lesser skilled playstyles which is why you have China and EU and hell even NA in the finals of MSI and worlds now.
Games don't need to last 45 minutes, but my average game is now 23 minutes and it's pretty fair to say who's won by 10-15 minutes now, and even sooner if you get the autofilled jungle begging to swap roles, like this just doesn't really feel fun anymore.
