My thoughts on the state of the game

I think honestly some things need to be addressed. Like for example adc's and botlane as a whole are getting 4 man ganked by 8 min and that determines the game whether or not they live. I think the problem is that there is to much on bot lane at the moment. Easier tower, dragon is down their. What I think would even this out is if herald was actually worth taking it might make it so that if a team 4 man ganks bot than you could go top and get herald to make it worth your while. I just think that all the early objectives cant be bot lane plus with adc's as a whole being weak it just makes it rough on the game. That's just my thoughts. What are some of your thoughts that could help fix the state of the game?

My thoughts:

BOT LANE: Before touching ADCs Riot should look to stop the everybody dives bot meta we have going right now. I disagree with ADC's all being weak because there isnt a single class that would be able to do anything about getting 4 man dove. Mages going bot lane is cool and its even cooler that it happened without Riot forcing it. Riot should allow them to stay but make sure there are still some viable marksmen.

ADCS: If all the diving stops and things still suck for them then yeah sure go ahead and buff away Riot. Also Caitlyn could really use a nerf regardless of how the class is. She's sitting on a 30% play rate and 52% winrate. Why would you pick anybody over her right now? The whole argument of "Shes the only one that isn't trash" is bullshit. She's overpowered and impossible to punish. Runaans Hurricane is also really in need of nerfs.

1ST TURRET: remove it and come up with something else. All this does is snowball games too hard.

MID GAME: I dont know if this is just me but I feel like Mid game is extremely toxic right now. 1st tower goes down and suddenly everybody on the side that took it is just rotating around the map, taking everything and starving out the other team. It's very anti-fun.

RIFT HERALD: This thing hasn't done shit. It was introduced to try to make playing around Top Lane a viable option. It hasn't even come close to doing that. At all. In the slightest.

ASSASSINS: Giving out some minor buffs to a few wouldn't be the end of the world. Talon and Fizz are kinda weak, a tiny buff to both could be nice. I think the rest of the problems they have come from poor itemization.

SUPPORTS: What the hell happened to Riots focus on making it fun? All that happened was they put more supports in the rotation for a few weeks (which did nothing) and we haven't heard anything else since. Redemption needs nerfs badly, Locket probably does too.

AUTO FILL: This still sucks. I wish it could be removed.

I think the bot lane turret is not a good concept. If the Herald was more rewarding, it could even out the objectives a little more from bot to top.

The problem is that the bot lane towers are an absolute joke. They should be just as tanky as the other towers and all towers need to scale harder on damage with each shot.

Jungle being addressed will help a lot, I.e. by removing the experience gains early on, you weaken all the dive champs that benefit from it the most like Hec, Vi, and Lee.

It will be interesting to see the state of the game a week or two after that patch
