I love this meta

Now laning actually matters. You can win lane carry it to others. Of course it isn't 100% win lane win game because there are games your team will feed, but that will get better as people get into their MMR and adapt to the meta. Now winning lane as ADC with 10-50 CS advantage actually has a good impact. Denying and taking turret both are viable. I feel teams are rewarded earlier for their good roams instead of late game. I'm not sure I would call it snowbally, I love it though, I have not felt good in a lol game for a long time. Now every lanes can move around the map to help others/siege. Buffing minions gold is AMAZING, giving players opportunity to kill tier 1 turret at 10 minutes makes perfect sense to me. Sitting under your turret/eating XP because you are bad and take a champion that scales hard might not be as viable as before, BUT THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE, you should be rewarded by every minion/push/freeze/roam you do.

First blood isn't the end of the world, if you kept up in farm you can definitely get back into the lane and do some decent stuff. I had this enemy go 6-1 before 10 minutes mark, that game last 20 minutes, in s5 I've had allies going 0-10 in 15 minutes, and that game would last forever because 3 players wouldn't ff. It makes perfect sense that if you win lane by cs/kill/turrets that you have an advantage vs enemy. And if the enemy still wants to fight and dies because he was not careful/did not think enough, It's 100% normal for him to die. Snowballing in s5 was possible, I don't even want to say pre season is snowballing because every advantage you take in laning should have an effect on mid/late game. I really don't understand why a lot of players are crying about the snowbally meta. If anything it needs more strategy/skill early game.

Playing is much less stressful, much more rewarding. Learn to farm/learn to stay alive/learn to kill/push/freeze and you will have an advantage when it comes down to taking objectives. You won't need to rely on that one person throwing for your team, you finally have the chance to carry that person. So it really scares me to see the cry threads, I hope the game won't go back as before. I love these changes for once.

Speak for yourself. I have absolutely despised most of the changes. Turrets are worthless as defensive structures, games get out of control too quickly and comebacks are virtually impossible. I feel punished for taking any tanky champs not named Malphite, Rammus or Garen, and assassins can't even do their job well anymore. (Seriously, their winrate has plummeted in all regions.)

Lol. Your opinion is the minority one, which I guess is fine. Most people don't like having the entire game frequently decided by which team's ADC gets "10-50 CS" more than the other. So, I personally disagree with your view, but you can have your own opinion.

It's not even 1 week and you talk about win rate about anything..... COMMON. People on board is the minority. Players who have no idea what they're doing and how to do it IS THE MAJORITY.
