Frustration with the current state of the game.

League of Legends has been giving me quite a freaking headache, more so then normal lately. So i'm just going to list out all the balance problems that seem to be staring me in the face.

First off, lets start off with the champions that are tanky, but still able to one shot people:

You see, i distinctly remember numerous nerfs to tank Ekko , on the basis that he shouldn't be tanky and still be able to do an extreme amount of damage. The problem was, he was building tanky and still 100 to 0'ing people like there was no tomorrow. Yet above are some champions who do pretty much the same thing, except they get tanky, with full damage builds. They are not the only champions that do this, but they are the only ones able to destroy entire teams single handedly if they are even slightly ahead. They one shot people, (or burst them down in less then two seconds so it might as well be a one shot), while being too tanky to kill quickly. Or in the case of Irelia, Akali, and Riven, kill at all. Irelia and Akali are the worst to be honest. Their sustain and extreme burst allow them to decimate entire teams, while regaining any health they may have lost during the engage within seconds. They don't even have to be ahead for this, as long as they didn't get absolutely trashed in lane, and i mean more then a 3 kill and 30 cs deficit. Granted, these are high skill cap champions. That doesn't make them not over powered.

And then there is this , You know, when a champion makes an appearance in nearly every single worlds match, that might be a red flag that a champion is a little too powerful. If Lee sin builds full damage, he's still decently tanky. If he builds full tank, he still does alot of damage. Lee sin is one of those champs i frequently see tower dive at early levels and tank tower shot after tower shot after tower shot, despite having no armor or magic resist items to speak of in their inventory. He's too all around powerful. He's religious showcasing at worlds should be evidence enough of this. Atleast and are easy enough to kill if you get ahold of them.

People have likely already been complaining about the Assassin META going on right now, and besides the ones already mentioned above, your culprits are , , , ,and . Their damage is disgusting, even when they are really far behind. Nearly every match that i've witnessed a in lately, has showcased her going 0/3 or 0/4 or 1/4 in lane, then turning around at some seemingly random power spike, and pumping out 14/5. The problem I think is not in the champions themselves, but lethality and the changes to penetration. Since they scale with the opponents level now, an extremely behind assassin is still highly effective. The goal to make an assassin less high risk high reward half worked. They are still high reward, but only at a moderate risk now. Assassins have a gateway back into being effective after a horrendous defeat that isn't available to most other classes. Adc's are even building lethality. Also because of this, the assassins that would normally fall off late game, don't anymore. Leblanc is still effective late game. Able to delete squishies from complete safety with a single button press. Katarina deletes even the tankiest of tanks with a single combo, unless they've built nothing but magic resist and neglected armor entirely.

Speaking of adc's, there are these two: , . Once again I flash back to worlds. Most matches involved these two. Sure you had a rare Jhin, and the occasional jinx, but those two were pretty much the only adc's seen in all of worlds. Why? Because they have decent early game potential, a stupid amount of safety, and a mid to late game that is absolutely ridiculous. They aren't as big of a problem as the others previously mentioned, but it is still worth noting.

needs a rework. Flashing and mashing W and R to get a kill level six is infuriating. Especially with the absolute kill potential this has even if Annie has full armor runes and boots. The stun meter above her head is a good indicator of when the all in is about to happen, but when she can flash and spam an AoE counter, unless you burn your flash right then and there, there isn't anything you can do to stop it. There should be more thought and strategy involved with utilizing her ult. She is currently a literal button mash champ. I'm not saying lets turn her into the next , but lets atleast make it less mind-numbingly simple to do an extreme amount of damage.

, this guy, is easily among my top three most hated champions in league of legends. His hop allows him to dodge literally anything, and does an immense amount of damage. Most champions have to choose between good base damages, or good scaling. Good burst, or good sustain. Fizz gets all of the above. I mean his W causes passive bleeding damage, and if his target has full bleed stacks, does TRIPPLE damage and scales with a full one hundred percent of his ap. In what universe is that much damage ok. If you want to balance him out, knock down the scaling on his W, and cause his hop to not do any damage, and i think you'd be on the right track.

Some of these changes might be coming in 7.1 or 7.2, and I really hope they are. I'd at-least like to be able to play a game without atleast four assassins, usually up to six across both teams. Carries like are completely irrelevant because they have no mobility and nothing to stop an assassin all in. Supports are limited to tanky peel supports or raw damage supports. Utility supports like , , and simply aren't viable right now, and its frustrating.
