Completely sick and tired of seeing/playing against Guinsoo's Rageblade

Yes I am salty AF, the damage output is ridiculous and completely unfair to be packed into one item as well as giving massive aoe damage and wave clear. Split pushing is already an insanely effective strategy add a Rageblade to that and it is a sure fire way to draw the enemies or leave their base destroyed.

It feels unfair as hell to win or lose when someone builds it and stomps like it is an absolute breeze.

And you cant ban every rageblade user as there are way more than 6 of them as well as risking leaving other top banned champions open.

I love playing this game but when I see this item in my games it disgusts me and makes the whole experience of winning/losing with a team effort/high skill level involved get thrown out the window as it is so broken and abused.

I dont want to win or lose anymore games because of this stupid item.

If you can't beat 'em join 'em.

Dude, they just increased the cost by 300 gold, and that's only one patch after the rework. Give it some time. It's not the only thing that's gotten out of hand since the semi-game-changing pre-season started.

I will admit though: I just played against a sated rageblade Aatrox. Sure, that didn't work out, but seriously... what the heck...

Come to think of it, probably half the problem is caused by Riot making this a cheap aoe item while nerfing the other aoe fighter build routes (titanic, ravenous). That was a mistake. Might not hurt to bring those items down to their original costs to help non-hybrid champs face their competition. Hydra too big of a damage spike? Well, fine then Riot, add some level-scaling to its passives. Wouldn't be the first items you used that tactic.

Sadly if this is what Riot wants league to become, people will probably be disgusted. They want the games to be faster, they want the game to be more snowbally, they don't want you to have to think.

Basically the strategy from the old tank meta is gone, now they want brainless snowballs with games ending in 10 minutes. I am seeing what happens during Pre but if this is S6. I am going to leave til S7.
