Paper league

Howdy, fellow summoners,

I had a thought to talk about this with the community, discuss and see if you guys feel the same way. After the new and exciting rune system change most of us were hyped up to have the ability to manufacture our own play style in each game due to the variety. Though after the patches went live, I've played few games I noticed one thing. By removing old runes Riot team forgot about the defensive options early game. For example an adc botlane is not literally paper to any mage support who has atleast decent base damages, lets not even talk about leona. There's way too much damage to sidestep in anyrole. In short, do you guys feel like the removal of optional early mr and armor runes hurt the game or helped it?

Hurt, ap/damage oriented supports that know what they are doing will thrive due to more poke / kill potential Zyra will probably benefit the most from this since her whole goal was to rush magic pen and get as close to true damage as possible...

ITS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH THAT THEY BUFFED item 3135 in the same patch that they buffed item 3020

Lethality buffs were just compensation for base armor being buffed across the board but what is magic pen compensating for?

So Im not the only one who's feeling slightly abused down there when a mage support is in the play. I had a scenario where karma cheesed me with jinx only using rockets to aa me and due to the slow I died even with using two of my sums. I literally lost 1/3rd of my hp when she landed her empowered q. I mean yea, this will speed up the game but everything feels extra abusive.

According to OP.GG (EUW server) barely 4 adc's have above 50% winrate, one of them being ezreal who's ridiculous. On top of that, the peel supports currently feel pretty useless with their 50 hp shields when for example a brand can blow your health pool to zero at level 3.
