Honestly, you'd think someone who plays like me would love this meta. I love going Lux or Velkoz or Veigar and building item 3040 item 3027 item 3285 item 3041 item 3089 item 3135 , you know, sacrificing EVERYTHING for damage with ~1000 AP with items alone. But I can't stand it. I like building only damage so that I can blow people up, but I sacrifice survivability, utility, and mobility to do it. I hate that apparently, I'm the only one doing it. I hate that bruisers like Garen and Olaf can outdamage me while still being tanky enough to survive running through all of my damage with enough tenacity to negate my cc. I hate that assassins like Zed and Akali have invincibility and/or mobility in their kit, then have items with enough damage to outdamage me in an instant that also provide more utility than your average support item. This meta sucks and the balance and design teams suck for propagating it. I quit two years ago because the game was becoming more unfun due to balance and the events were becoming terrible cashgrabs. It's a shame to come back and find that it's only worsened.

mages are inherently weak to assassins, complaining that mages die to assassin reliably is the most self centered thinking lmao

also akali has 0 utility and zed has a slow that eats 1/3 of his energy pool ( more the earlier on it is ) and uses 2/3 of his kit.

the assassins are working as intended, get over it. the juggs though, heh, prolly also working as intended, use your range.
