Everybody in this community know, that a fed Assassin can kill you in a blink of an Eye. Sometimes or rather Often under a Second. The average Person has a reaction time from 0,2 too 0,4 seconds. And your expected to make a Button Press in this time window. It was possible, way earlier (looking at you season 5 Crit Rengar), but it wasnt the norm. Champs like Rengar or Syndra got famous for their 1shots, because it was very Rare to see such a Fast Kill. Not today. You get halve healthed, before you even think about the enemys engage. Even the players, that are delievering the Combo are suprised how fast they killed the enemy. This should definitly be Changed. Every Base Value, Scaling, Rune or any Kind of number should be reduced. It would prolong the Games longer and would provide the Game a way calmer flow.

I want to hear some Thoughts..

I find it extremely annoying that riot is killing off a huge portion of its original loyal player base to appease the Internet cafe market.

While I do see that they are going to make more money this way, I think it will kill the game. That demographic swaps games so insanely frequently that death is almost certain.

Of course this coming from someone who used to play ALOT of jinx, back when hyperscaling was a thing and late game was minute 35 not minute 12.

Longer games with longer fights would certainly allow more talent to shine; if the game was longer we could see some really fancy plays.

One thing that I really hate is that, from the opponent's point of view, there's almost literally no strategic nuance between the assassins, when defending against them.

Before it used to make sense that you would want to know about the assassins ans when their burst windows were.

Like I remember laning against Zed when i used to Mid, and paying really close attention to his cooldowns, making sure I was keeping myself protected.

Nowadays it literally doesnt fucking matter what state his cooldowns are in, because Im just dead in a single rotation.

So why do I even need to bother keeping up with assassin kits and changes? Because if an assassin gets into range and decides they want to kill me, then Im just fucking dead, and then its in the hands of my teammates.

There used to be a legitimate art in gaining kill threat on your opponent without them realizing it, but that part of the game is one of the many forgotten ghosts of LoL's past fun.

This thread should actually get more discussion than it currently is. Its currently a very sad state of affairs.

See, here's the thing. You want to prolong the games with this change, which I agree would be better.

The problem is that Riot DOESN'T want longer games. Look at the changes introduced this off season:

  • Possibility of getting 2 rift heralds, which can help take out more turrets faster, and thus end the game faster
  • Dragon Soul, which gives a huge power spike to the entire team that get's it, helping them to close out the game
  • Elder Dragon, which is just flat out bullshit in its execute function and causes the team with it to have a massive advantage in team fights to, guess what, finish games off... and also crowds out champions who are SUPPOSED to want to fight at lower health values, like Olaf for example, but that's just a problem of shortsightedness Riot's part

They literally just added a bunch of additional "objectives" to the game that help end the game faster. Baron was already a huge advantage for the team that get's it, since they basically get to push each lane with impunity and the other team can't push back. Now you've got even more power that can just straight up end the game, and before anyone tries to say that Dragon Soul or Elder Dragon are "late game objectives", no, they aren't. They can be claimed before the 30 minute mark, and make comebacks even harder to achieve than they already were in Riot's enforced snowball meta.

Now yes, obviously none of those additions just automatically end the game when someone gets them, but the team who is ahead when they become available has a huge advantage in claiming them, which favors snowballing.

The BEST change they made this pre-season? Well, actually it was removing item 3161 ... but the NEXT best change this pre-season was turret plates giving less gold. Now, personally, I think turret plates should give NO gold at all, and should simply exist to make taking turrets harder in the early portion of the game. But then again, that's because I think the lane pressure and wave control of taking a turret is reward enough for claiming that "objective"

tl;dr - Riot wants games to end faster, which is easily proven by how many additional rewards there are to be had for the team that get's a lead. As if having more items and more levels for more base stats wasn't enough of an advantage.

I don't get it. Damage Burst and Mobility are way out of control. There hasn't been much effort to bring it under control either.

DrMundo Sion Malphite Maokai Shen ATM are useless as a tank compare to season 1-8 version.Now they die in max 10 sec so they swap to dmg builds.Its all about selling game for china market where ppls like this fast one shot bullshiet.

Runes: Why so many of them are focused only at dmg? Why just not more slow maybe root ar heal runes insted of only "after 3 aa you deal extra dmg" jzs

I think you should go to another post about this theme because the boards has become saturated with this specific topic. As in terms of damage you say it's crazy that an assassin deletes somone. That's what assassins do?
