I don't think I like where season 10 is going at all...

So, as was already pointed out by others, the EXP changes in top lane basically force the laners to have to choose between actually doing well in lane, or gimping themselves in lane by losing the exp lead. I feel like the issue is even more compounded by turret plating. Like, sure, you can go bot lane and help your ADC get a kill, but now you've lost a ton of EXP top lane, your lane opponent just got 360 free gold off of hitting your tower the entire time you were gone, plus whatever he got from minions, and now in all likelihood, you're going to come back to lane and get bullied right back out of it because they have a level up on you, and are half a completed item ahead of you.

Couple that with the new RNG rift dragon things, and this new season is looking like it'll be even more coin-tossey than the last.

That's exactly what they want to achieve tho.

Do you think it's fun for bot lane to get 5 man gangbanged every couple minutes?

Yeah okay so throw top lane under the bus instead, despite the fact that top lane has been eating shit for everyone else since season fucking 4

Waaaaaah, waaaah, tanks take too long to die, nerf them! "Okay, done." Waaaah, waaaah, bruisers are basically just better assassins! "Nerfed" WAAAAAAH, Now Assassins are too good because the tanks all got nerfed out of top lane! "Sorry man, you wanted tanks to be useless, soooo uh...yeah"

You can't keep shitting on top lane just because it's become so worthless and unimportant that everyone goes botlane instead. Making top lane even more boring is only going to exacerbate the problem.

Tanks being nerfed benefits top lane. Autofill / bad players just take tanks and then stonewall the lane. A bruiser / fighter without any kills has the same teamfight role as the tank (being a meatshield for his carries).

Teleport being nerfed benefits top lane too. You can finally shut down the enemy top laner even harder and make the game 5v4 if you are good enough, instead of kills being meaningless top lane where enemy top will always be almost on equal footing as you unless your jungler intervenes.

Just think about it.

Okay so nerfing an entire class to the point where they are at an inherent disadvantage just for trying to play the game the only way they are allowed to at this point is okay? This is why the game is going to shit.

The class was OP. Tanks still have decent win rates. What are you talking about? Which tank is underperforming currently?
