I'm only 4 months into League, & already understand people's complaints...

EVERYONE'S talking about there's too much true damage, too much damage overall, tower's are squishy, little to no counter-play to some characters, ADC's receiving a punishment that was too harsh, supports being unable to save the nerfed ADC's, jungle changes didn't work for the best, Baron is too weak, Rift herald hits towers too hard, domination / assassin classes running wild one-shotting everything, games are too short, snowball is out of control, developers wont listen to a thing, and just unnecessary changes overall... the list goes on and on.

I've witnessed if not all, most of these changes in only 4 months of playing. Honestly, It's actually pretty insane.

I do like league a lot, and i'm so new to the game - my opinion probably shouldn't matter compared to those who've been playing since like season 2.. But these changes are really affecting the game way too much - and unfortunately according to most players - not for the better.

I do hope something can be done about it!

Want to know the sad part? Some of those things that people are complaining about (short games, snowball, assassins) were fixed two or three seasons ago. Makes you wonder where Riot tripped and hit their head with some of these changes.

4 months and already lv103? What's your secret?

Most of these are circle-jerks that lack details. Like the Assassin thing, there are literally an insane amount of characters that one shot without being an Assassin at all, like Taliyah and Wukong. Assassins aren't even best at their job, Katarina in particular can only kill people in 1.25s because her dagger drops, meanwhile Pantheon can just EQ electrocute an entire hp bar.

You're only 4 months old so I guess you don't remember that ADCs were literally required and dominant for years and years right?

How is the fact that they are optional like everyone else too harsh?

A 4 month player knows this game better than the monkeys on the balance team.

You literally hit the nail on the head with everything you said. The fucking pathetic part is that Riot will not even acknowledge a single one of these things as an issue.

You don't. To begin many complaints is based on poor games game understanding of very low elo. The best thing for you is to not look at this boards and focus on your gameplay.

little to no counter-play to some characters,

its mainly true for old champs, and they rework a lot recently to address this.

ADC's receiving a punishment that was too harsh

it wasn't too harsh... in pro scene the best adc world still play some Ashe or even Vayne. And in Solo Q, you have more chance to lose with non adc. Adc role was too strong, adc players aren't used to be on same ground as other.

jungle changes didn't work for the best

changes closly nothing... Bad junglers still bad, good jungler still good. But the role is more balanced if you compare it to other.

Rift herald hits towers too hard

no... its totaly legit.... just don't let them take x towers with

domination / assassin classes running wild one-shotting everything

Domination tree sucks... just saying

Get ready to wait a while to play the game ;-; Riot isn't getting rid of this balance team anytime soon

The only people complaining about ADC role is ADC's. And not even all of them since multiple people in the pro scene that play adc or support say they LOVE this meta because of the diversity bot lane and how adc's arent op and required now.

If you've only been playing for four months then you haven't been playing long enough to even understand what the hell you're talking about to begin with, so why make this thread?

Funny how you've apparently only played for 4 months yet you have posts from 9 months ago and you're level 103. You don't need to lie for upvotes when that's already the popular opinion here.

Supports shouldn't be linked to one type of champ. They need to be freed.

Modl Ryden l6/26/2018, 6:34:05 PM1 votes

I don't really think you do unless you were those players on the receiving end of those changes. For better or worse.

You just take good notes is all.
