No one wanted any of this.

No one wanted the damage meta to get this out of control. Assassins had too much damage before these mega rune buffs to electrocute, and now dark harvest. No one wanted true damage to be so common in itemization/rune selection We didn't need mana to be on every ap item and make mana sustain/regen so out of thought. ( ) This is literally, as everyone knows, all for profession league entertainment, because highlight reels sell and strategy doesnt.

One Q from ez shouldnt do 60% damage to full tanks. Rengar one shotting anyone who isn't a tank is laughable

It's so bad that the extra game modes are unplayable.

Have you listened to your commentators? They sound like auctioneers. They need more pay for how many different spells are used in a teamfight and how often people got 100 - 0.

However 98% of the community did not want damage meta. Scale. It. Back.

A significant portion of the community don't come to the discussion boards. Maybe 60-70% don't even know that there are discussion boards or don't care enough to post / comment.

If you're making your assumption from what you have seen here, you're not safe in assuming that "everyone" is of the same opinion.

Hell, not even "everyone" of the 30-40% that do come here feels this way.

Just speak for yourself, .. that is enough.

If people agree, they will upvote your post.

reddit shares similar opinions but for some reason, the mods there tend to delete criticism posts and even suggestion posts, claiming spam or that it's already been posted previously, yet they allow E-sports stuff to flood the page...

most streamers are to the point where they shrug, groan and move on, saying "look at all that damage!" in the most unamused, bored, drained and lifeless voice they can unless they're angry

#Talon support, this guy : Talon , is a thing in challenger because damage is so high, there's no coming back from his burst damage as a squishy champion. Unless you play an alistar into this guy, he is going to get a kill or force you out of lane, or net his carry a kill

while not common, it says a lot that it works well enough that I want to try it just because it looks both easy and fun... The highest damage burst assassin in the game for early game...looks easy and fun

Assassins are my least favorite role...

Lets take it from a dude closing on level 200 from how many games I've played since the meta change (funny enough the level cap was removed around the time tank meta died with enchanters and was forced into damage meta). I havent had a single person cheer for joy when they went 100 to 0 in less than 2 seconds. I can't even remember someone conceding defeat to their lane opponents or anyone who ganked them. Frankly most people who get demolished become toxic any anything said to them after they die. Are you saying 70% of the people you play with say, "This meta is amazing," or "I loved being 100'd to 0 by that guy"?

So I think its safe to assume from in game experience and from peers that no one wants this damage meta.
