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.
I 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.
Well they haven't change anything to do with matchmaking which is the main issue with it.
Same with arams btw.
The 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.
Btw 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.
Tbh, 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.
