How to fix the game : Revert everything to season 2.

RexSaur·Feb 13, 2017·12 votes·1,089 views

No lethality shit, no tanks doing bruiser level of damage with 1 item, proper game lenght and power curves (actual laning phase, mid and late game), comeback, snowball and solo carry potential all existed, jungle role was actually balanced aswell.

In fact roles didnt really overlap with eachother and were more focused, like adcs being THE damage carries late game, tanks being THE initinators and walls (who did very little damage if alone), bruisers being the mid game spikes/all arounders and mages provinding the high range utility/burst.

Literally only bad thing i can remember from season 2 was that you were forced to start boots because you were free kills without them to junglers since champs had like 300 base ms at lowest and you couldnt get pots with doran items, fix starting items and then theres no drawbacks anymore.

I didnt even mention Brutalizer and old lw, bring it all back.

I think you might be blinded a bit by nostalgia.

Agreed: Wasn't Season 2 the season where everyone built Warmog's?

Yeah before they nerfed it multiple times.

But adcs had a lot higher end game dps and games actually got to that stage often enough so it wasant bad for them, rip green pots.

Sugar MommaFeb 13, 20172 votes

Why dont you give me some examples of what was bad in season 2?

If we compare that list to current season 7 list then you'll see its not just nostalgia.

lebalanced, kassawin and talon silence wriggle's lantern on both jungle and toplane gp5 items outscaling everything atmogs riven snowballing out of control with just 1 kill, level snowballing .....lots of other things

AhristocatsFeb 13, 20171 votes

Stop giving special exception of the rule, everything was balanced in season 2 but you can't perfectly balance it of course there will be some bad things

kassadin was NOT OP IN SEASON 2 so stop with him, he was broken in season 1 and then in season 3 talon was frustrating but not op atmog was balanced by having double wota on mages

so stfu pls

Wut? Dude there is bias on both sides, no need to escalate.

for once i agree with rexsaur

everything was better in season 2

top mid(minus the fact that assassins were useless) jungle supports (who cares about no items? they had diversity and they were ALL impactful with broken kits) adc(before the corki and ezreal meta)

I remember whatching a comp play game where their janna was having connection problems or w/e so she was lvl 7 while the average game lvl was 13 or so, she went to a team fight at baron and atually carried it/did some clutch plays, having nothing but 2 gp10, never mind the fact they could have 20+ wards.

This is how supports are supposed to be, all about the raw utility on their kit, giving them gold and making them second solo lane mages or just being about outstating item/buying overpowered items is lame if you ask me.

AhristocatsFeb 13, 20171 votes

was the same with other supports lvl 6 taric was able to be a threat for the enemy team when they were all level 9 and alistar was able to dive people at level 6 which was the utility he brought on top of CCS

I miss playing TF against brutalizer Zed. If I had known what the future held... lethality and thunderlords... I would have smiled the whole time.

Ah, back when Eve was actually both strong and balanced, because you could buy pink wards against her.

Back when you could buy wards in general.

Back when the game was more heavily focused on strategic skill rather than mechanical button-mashing and twitch reflex play-negation.

Are you remembering things right. There were two Evelynns during that time. The prerework one was considered to be reportable if you saw someone pick it. She was really bad. Then there's the reworked version that would 100-0 you outside her invis range with DFG and her ultimate.

Nameless VoiceFeb 13, 20171 votes

I was actually thinking of the second half of season 2, after they nerfed her ultimate. I didn't like when people kept stealing my main and playing her mid.

WoonStruckFeb 13, 20171 votes

That was season 3, wasn't it?

ChaddyFantomeFeb 13, 20172 votes

back when the vision game was balanced around peoples unwillingness to buy wards moreso than the actual access to vision having any actual gating. Back when Eve could stun you from stealth. Back when AP Yi was a thing.

yea season 2 was sooo much more balanced ... im sure.

Nameless VoiceFeb 13, 20171 votes

Eve did not have a stun from stealth in season 2.

Prior to her rework, she had a slow.

She didn't have the stun for the whole latter part of season 1, when she was "Eve tier".
