League as you remember it.

Not a thread to complain or anything, just curios as to how you remember some aspects of League of Legends. Champions and itemas have changed DRAMATICALLY over time so I guess it'd be from to read from a gameplay perspective, things you remember from past League of Legends patches.

For instance, I always remember how Nidalee jungling worked backed in early 2016. I still sometimes expect the Q to stun Red Buff every time I use it and also how every 5th auto stunned the monster with the Krugs smite bonus. I also played a lot of ADC back in 2015 and remember how happy I was to buy BF and Avarice Blade after first back, i know there's Cull now, but it's somehow not the same lol.

Anyway if you have memories of some aspect of League you remember that has changed, share it. ** AGAIN, NOT A POST DISCUSSING HOW THINGS ARE BALANCED/UNBALANCED, GOOD/BAD.**

Nidalee still does fine in jungle people just don't give it a chance. She kites the buff very easily, I have played a lot of her (300k) but you can quickly learn how to clear every camp and buff but krugs with only one smite and 3 health pots(sometimes with nearly full health). I considered making a little video on how to do this considered many people have mentioned it. Heck, add me if you wanna see if I could help.

Anyways, I miss when League was not as stressful... I'd say right before season 5 everything was awesome, of course every game has it's salty people though. It went from calling people noobs to bringing out their lifeproblems on people, middle school elementary school bullying... I've been on and off since 2k11, haven't gotten to know the little details about many of their game changes because of the big breaks, but yeah I just miss the sane community we had. I miss the graphics, old league looked epic compared to now lol.

I tend to see league about how it is now. I play different champions but my view of the game hasn't really changed. I don't have any rose tinted glasses about older seasons unlike others.

I do miss old ryze a lot, but I understand how much of a terror he was.

Not all recollection of the past is "rose tinted", and without paying attention to the past state of the game, you can not determine the trajectory of the game. If you don't know which direction the game is going, then you can't tell if it's moving in a good or bad direction.

I'd rather avoid an absolutely horrible state of the game from happening, rather than letting riot make the changes and then trying to get riot to repeal pretty much anything.

It's just a little ironic then, that the majority of the negative memories i have about different aspects of the game in the past, have almost all persisted into the current state of the game, and become more noticeable and/or common.

Heimerdinger Turrets rank 3 would shred -1 armor/MR per hit, rank 5 would AoE and ultimate would cause them to slow. Homing rockets catching people off-guard, created a slight jump animation on Heim when he was moving the opposite direction they fired. Turrets could be carefully placed over ANY wall.

More recently I keep expecting to regen health back, even though I know they changed his passive.

I remember being able to outplay a lvl 3 fellow toplaner and the lvl 2 jungler that came to gank. Ow, the days that you could get a double kill with some skill. I miss them.

I remember aiming for the red buff lizard in 3's before jax stacked a million dodge items.

I remember when the strongest supports were sona and janna and you bought sightstone/ philo stone and mobi boots and your main contribution to the game was warding and buying oracles elixer every 5 mins for 400 G. I'd commonly back and on top of sighstone buy 5 green wards and like 2 or 3 pinks.
