"Has your past week of League of Legends been an enjoyable experience?"

I got asked that today, after a game of aram, which I've been playing a lot of lately. So, yes, ARAMs have been fun. However, that question is just vague enough to warrant this sort of post. I do not have much fun in 5v5s anymore, if that's what you were really referring to. I had to pick disagree because of the vagueness of the question. The reason being that champion tiers exist and are allowed to exist at all. My favorite champions are all weak. Picking them feels like I'm put at a disadvantage compared to the upper tier champions. That's not fun. So, no, I'm not having fun with 5v5s at the moment.

HELP.WEAK.CHAMPIONS.FFS.

got it aswell. after an aram too.

i dont know what the fuck that question was. the entire last week? every game? in what regard?

player toxicity? game balance? game/client stability? what the fuck do you actually want to know? are you trying to do a survey or small talk?

Completely irrelevant. It would be seen as a "please buff my champion" thread if I named them.

Well, Riot can't buff the champs you think are weak, if they don't know what those champs are.

They know which champions are weak. They have the same access to data that we do.

It depends though. Just looking at raw data gives you an idea of what things are, but the sheer amount of variables in the data can prevent an accurate readout of what is and isn't weak.

You also have to take into account how many people are playing and what percentage of those players are not playing the champions the way they are intended. An example being Shyvana . How many players are playing AP shyvana and skewing the winrate with losses? Less than 1%? It doesn't add much to the overall W/L ratio of that champion. So, how much of the random variables are actually happening with these champions? Maybe, 5% of the overall player base? That still doesn't add much to the overall W/L ratio considering the majority, 94-99% are all building in a way similar to the champions focused builds and damage scalings. That's just my thoughts on it, though.

Nope. ADC's are the new supports since they need 40 minutes to get strong and the game is over 20. I've been outdueled by a Sona this week.

Actually, yes. Bond of Stone support Ashe and Thunderlords Support MF are verymuch things now.
