My Problem with Plants
League is becoming too RNG based.
Ok, Riot has already done RNG with the new drakes. I don't exactly like the new drakes, but I'm not completely against it. However, these new plants are just too much.
Now I know how it's not completely random. They appear in set intervals of time, and they appear around when the laning phase ends, but a plant can easily win a teamfight in the jungle and probably a game. I absolutely hate the fact that sheer luck can win a game instead of pure skills and mechanics.
Yes, I know one of Riot's reasons to implement plants is because players of higher elo knew how to use smite buffs, but players of lower elo did not. However, I still feel like the same problem will come up with the new plants. Diamond players might think, "Oh, there might be a teamfight coming up. Probably should save this plant for later!" Bronze players, at least the ones I've encountered, probably wouldn't think that. They would probably just go ahead and use it because clearing blue took a quarter of their health. Now I know I'm not that good of a player either, but think about it.
I just feel like there are other ways that Riot can approach this without RNG. Please Riot, consider other options. Delay the preseason if needed. The game really doesn't need anymore RNG.
