Doesn't matter if its ranked, flex, or normal , the games feel so one sided , one team will stomp one will be pushed into submission. it feels just like before where when behind coming back is a small chance if at all. With still Toxic teamplay, feeders, leavers, and afkers. its just season 9 over again with changes to the map. Rito is losing touch with the majority of players.
side note , WTF is this side cubby on lanes, it feels next to pointless / useless.
excelsheet18 votesI honestly find games way too stompy. I either feel like the one idiot in top lane ruined the game for everyone or I could afk and still somehow get a penta kill.
boricCentaur16 votesWell they haven't change anything to do with matchmaking which is the main issue with it.
ZT Xperimentor5 votesSame with arams btw.
klin5373 votesThe point of the update was to make it more one sided. If a team is outright better then they deserve to win quickly, without wasting 20 extra minutes. So riot gives them OP dragons to extend their lead.
I actually have used the side cubby to my advantage. If you're being chased and you need to stall an extra second for your team to help, you can play chicken around the cubby to stall.
Josh Sand14 votesIf the winning team is supposed to win quickly, then why even have Baron Nashor spawn after 20 minutes?
Why even have the Elder dragon spawn after that?
Why give champs 6 item slots?
Why let champs level to 18?
There was a ton of late game strategy and macro play that used to actually be an important skill to maintain. Now its all just fucking camp a bush and blast someone from fog of war. There's no nuance to the game flow anymore, and none of the game's designs support that kind of game tempo.
You have this gigantic map to explore with towers and corners everywhere, yet for some reason, when the enemy team takes an early game lead, you literally dont get to play around any of that shit anymore. You just sit in your base, waiting for the eventual tornado to arrive and rip your roof off before throwing a semi truck on top of you.
ITS BORING
Fuhrer Usagi5 votesPeople were complaining about long games(china i believe?) and about people carrying a team usually called the infamous 1v9. So riot have been making it harder and harder for 1 person to carry his team to allow the side with the better overall team to actually win instead of being picked off by the smurf and his meatshields. Which is why they buffed the drakes and let herald spawn twice, so the better team can team fight and push faster before the smurf can scale enough to 1v9.
Only they screwed up and made it too one sided that a bad team who got a lucky drake can snowball off it to get more and just keep snowballing.
Elder it seems was just intended to make the game end. They don't care that its overpowered and auto wins it for whatever team gets it. They just want the match to be over at that point.

This may be my favorite post ever. You are beyond correct. The direction this game has been in and continues going is atrocious.
dolce de leche1 votesBtw new dragons and new elder actually help you more in contesting leads. If you can actually force them into an unfavorable dragon fight and get one suddenly you delay the soul even longer till you can eek out a more even game from farming and with elder it no longer snowballs with dragons taken so it's less of a snowball machine. Sure snowballing is still a thing, but let's not act like the preseason changes haven't been going against that.
HideSide1 votesTbh, its more about ppl being just bad and stupid than champions being unbalanced. When I play on champions I understand perfectly then I find game quite balanced until 25th minute of game ( sure there are exceptions like urgot, riven, rumble, even aatrox and darius), then its time of oneshoting everyone who has less than 3 tank items. I as rengar with full crit build can even burst down semi-tank with 3,5hp and 150 armor and with elder buff I can burst even 300armor 4K nasus on one rotation of spells since elder doesn't work as intended.
