Counterplay is at an all time low. Burst is way too high.

Every single game I play there is at least two champions capable of killing me instantly with absolutely no ability to react on my part.

Part of it is broken lethality, part of it is broken reworks Riot fails to address and a huge part of it is the idiotic mastery rework that added massive amounts of burst into the game via keystones.

This isnt fun Riot. Fix your fucking game.

I'd bet you 2 dollars if you asked meddler what counterplay is he wouldn't be able to answer you nor would he admit ever that Riot once touted that as their defining design philosophy.

Edge of night is just yasuo's windwall or fiora's repoiste but given to all AD champions, it exists to give half the champs in the game all the counterplay in the world while the other half can just suck a dick and die because to them that's counterplay. They didn't learn shit and they never will. Ghostcrawler can post those worthless vlogs about his life all he wants and talk about how they totally keep dropping the ball on mechanics that are intensely bullshit to play against but given how they straight up broke the game with edge of night the month after you can expect so long as these people work at Riot the balance will forever be shit, it'll be month after month of just different broken shit flooding the meta till preseason when they add plants to the river and go yep, that'll do it, collect their pay checks, pat themselves on the back and go on break for 2 months then come back and release another camille and go, oops, we did it again tehehehehe.

At this point I'm not sure if anyone knows what counterplay is including me. When i read some of the posts on boards I feel like every person playing this game has his own definition of counterplay xD

But the thing is that as a tank, i dont put out nearly enough damage to kill him even if i land every skill shot every ability he will still hit q one time and heal it back every 1.5 seconds, its nearly impossible to kill him

They're nerfing the +% damage Masteries and Precision next patch which reduces damage by about 2 -- 5% per champ. Ghostblade's getting 5 less Lethality. You can't buy both Black Cleaver and Lord Dominik's anymore because of small changes there (but other allies can still buy Black Cleaver and you Lord Dominik's). Also, Black Cleaver only has one Long Sword in its build now which reduces damage until it's finished. A temporary nerf for Edge of Night is planned, but I don't know what it is.

No idea if they plan to further reduce sources of damage from Masteries after these changes.
