Human's have a natural disposition to look at the negatives more than the positives. It's an evolutionary trait. It's how we learn.

"Fire hot. Fire burn. Fire hurt."

Yet no one mentions how fire warms, fire cooks, fire purges the heretics.

That's a rather good point, nicely said.

fire purges the heretics

There used to be a group that appreciated this trait but we don't remember them fondly. Typical humans, judging those who want to see good where everyone else sees bad.

Hmmm lemme think about something else then

SUPPORTS NEED NERFS

What if you were asked to say something positive about League?

What if you were asked to say something positive about League?

Hmmm I think clash looked hype af but I wasn't there when it was tested (and I'm in euw I think it was tested just in NA) :( Since I miss ranked team a lot and I think flex doesn't grasp the kinda competitive/team aspect of it, clash looked better. Not much to say though, as I didn't get the chance to try it.

Other positive stuff? Stuff in the right direction I guess, conqueror's, slight nerfs to heal, a bit of changes, zoe nerfs, anything that was made to make things that are bs less bs. Remains botlane and it could be cool. I'm still kinda sad at the direction the game has taken (with a lot of overspecialized kits and items where everything is a bit less random like AP ratios on AD champs etc. but super synergistic and you have to play the super meta optimized build/strategy to make it work. Also tons of %health, true damage, low range spammable crowd control, lack of reliable ranged CC to shut down carries... all of this is part of Riot's counterplay/healthiness philosophy but it eventually leads to a teamfight ranged DPS carry - centric control meta which I'm not really a fan of. But I digress and start ranting already :(

It's understandable why there might be more negative thoughts than positive thoughts when talking about league but I try to stay positive even when things are really bad and overall try to enjoy the game how ever I can.

Even Riot understands that people will get frustrated at times, and they say it's okay as long as you don't flame anyone.

Yes adcs only seem strong because supports are too strong, I've heard many pros agree.

Yah, like sharing build idea's and guides, or at least giving riot a complement on the good things they did for us, like that in game chat system, or the new rune pages that open up new experiences and builds for champions As well as extra buttholes, it's not all sunshine here.... At least to brighten the mood a bit.

Ultimately while ADC do ramp up too fast -- it ends up being part of a bigger problem. Mages is one of them for example -- having an unlimited pool of mana means there's very little counter play to it. I mean you can have your zeal item and your IE as an ADC vs the Annie Mid who didn't do great and has only one item but if she drops tibbers on you with her stun you're going to die regardless. To counter that we have supports and to counter the growing burst damage we've had to give them more and more powerful shields/items, while allowing ADCs to also tap into that burst damage.

I'm not going to argue that ADCs are not problematic (or marksman if you want to call them that -- I'm old), but pretending that nerfing them is somehow going to bring everything in line is borderline idiotic. Nerfing mages is indeed a step in the right direction as would be nerfing the jungler roles by decreasing exp/gold/respawn times (meaning they have less time to gank/ have to choose between ganking and farming).

The last step would be to also nerf supports -- but how do you ensure that then supports are still fun to play and feel like they are a valuable part of the game?

I wouldn't mind if it people didn't just blow their anger load and leave, or had a point to make without echoing the same tired old shit over and over again.

egOrhythm2 votes

Yes. Pisses me the fuck off considering that when everyone bitches about ADCS what they mean is Tristana, Twitch, and (maybe) Kog'Maw. Leave my Jinx outta this you fucks.

Also, nerf the shit out of shielding/enchater supports. That's 80% of the botlane problem.

The other 20% is Tristana and Twitch.

I mean, I like playing Tristana, but goddamn does she need a nerf. Like, I dunno. Make her W no longer reset and her ult not knock back. And just fucking remove Twitch from the game. And Ezreal. Fuck Ezreal. E spamming turd.

well maybe if they would nerf ADC's instead of nerfing every other class this wouldn't happen.

showing the mage nerfs before the ADC nerfs with a bs reason like ''mages have been dominant mid too long'' only adds even more flames to the fire.

@cocopuffa, supports don't cause the ADC's to have cheap items and cause them to be a threat with just infinity + a zeal item, they help but they aren't the only reason ADC's are strong

i actually am too.. i mean i really wish riot would go ahead and nerf them already so we quite quit pointing out the obvious and address some other issues. but until they address ADC's everything else is on hold....

Well i can go positive. I really like new champion - Kaisa for example. Cuz she is such complete freelo. Everything on her kit is broken which allows for EZ WIN every time your ADC picks Kaisa. As sup main im really happy about that.

BLIGHTBRINGER1 votes

That's doesn't really count. You can't like a champion because they are "freelo", you can only like them if you enjoy them.

It's a bunch of hardstuck silver top laners who never make TP plays and get butthurt when the enemy jungler/top lane snowballs bottom.

That's literally all this board has devolved into.

"DUDE, I WENT 4/1 AND STILL LOST THE GAME DESPITE HAVING ZERO MAP PRESSURE. HASHINSHIN WAS RIGHT, TOP LANE SUCKS"

I don't even listen to Hashinshin's thoughts on what is and what isn't balanced since he plays Jax.
