BEFORE YOU READ, PLEASE KNOW I AM NOT AN UNREASONABLE INDIVIDUAL I LOVE REASONABLE DISCUSSIONS SO PLEASE PROCEED TO COMMENT YOUR THOUGHTS

"Write your thoughts" is the text previewed before I type this rant. With not only one character but, several. Before you start downvoting me for shitting on your mains, I want to say that I already know that the balance team works for platinum and higher, and I'm trying to reach there too one day, but jesus christ something is wrong at the moment. Okay so listen up, let's firstly start with Kayn. I main adc and the ADC in 2k17 meme strikes my heart like a freaking axe when I hear it, it's so correct I actually get sobby. Firstly the phantom assassin form, build lethality, boom one shots EVERY SINGLE ADC in low elo because most of the time your team won't help you out, seeing as if you're under diamond 4, everyone is playing for the 1v9. (I know it might sound as if I'm actually just taking the piss out of my elo but I'm not.)

Move over to what pisses me off the most. Bruiser Kayns' freaking ult heal, how is it in any way or how possible for a character in this game to jump into the body of another, become untargetable for a certain amount of seconds then pop out WITH FULL HEALTH?????? The scaling on that ability must've been facerolled in because even I, who have never ever posted an actual post on this forum, even I take the time out of my day to get sick of this stupid shit.

Secondly, cho'gath. I have a neat little picture here. https://gyazo.com/6a96301f6383869552a36558cf56974a which pretty much explains it. Again In WHAT WORLD IS IT LOGICAL FOR THE TERROR OF THE VOID TO RUN AT YOU AT THE SPEED OF SOUND THEN FLASH ONTO YOU AND EAT YOU FOR 2200 TRUE DAMAGE?? It's basically just, decrease the scaling on his ult. And I know you might be thinking "Oh but what about the other builds of cho'gath that work fine" Well that's 0.00001% of the games played on cho'gath where you again have someone on your team refusing to listen to you. And I know for a fact after doing some twitch.tv research that even challenger players can't cope with a void beast dealing 2200 damage to your face.

Thirdly, why did you buff akali? It's not like she needed more damage, she actually needed less but I guess that's not so very important.

Onto the fourth I go, I just played a game in silver 1 at 19 lp something like that. I got in the game and I asked my top laner to please pick something that counters darius, because everyone in bronze-silver-gold loses to darius, it's just a blatant fact, everyone does. But that's not the matter here, I think he was 9-4/10-4 when this happened. He had nothing but a dead mans plate, a black cleaver, boots and had started his randuins. I'm playing lucian, currently 4-7. We get in a teamfight, I try to dash away but he has his 5 stacked passive and instantly pops flash, e's me in. He continues to basic attack me for about 4-500 damage, which is a quarter of my healthbar. Then ults me, for ONE THOUSAND FORTY-SIX DAMAGE Now as stated earlier darius might not be a problem in the higher elo because you're better at kiting etc. And since most of my games are platinum performance or something I should be able to outplay him (According to lolsumo anyways) But no, I get shit on by 1046 true damage. How is that logical? Just nerf the god damn passive, the ult isn't the problem, the ult's ad scaling isn't the problem, it's that he can go from 150 damage to 500 damage in one Q, one W and 2 basic attacks, then smack your face and you die.

5th, Warwick, just like with any character that is currently busted as shit, he can run into your team face first, get 50% damage reduction, build some attack speed and continue to 1v5 teams. (Trust me, I've done it several times). Need I say more? I don't know.

6th, Step 1: Play syndra Steps 2 through 5: Laning phase Step 6: spawn a few dark spheres. Step 7: Proceed to one shot ad-carry.

Like jesus christ high and mighty please I understand that the main argument is that basically "low elo players aren't good enough to be part of the balancing", which means that no matter what you do, no matter how hard I practice in this game that has me so crudding addicted. I will always get 1046 damage to the face, I will always get stoneplate flashed by cho'gath, because I can't ban kayn akali cho and darius all by myself. I can't build full defensive to protect myself because there will always be true damage, which (If you don't realise negates armor and magic resist entirely). So all I can do is stand at my tower and watch as the characters that might not be good in higher elo, stomp my fucking team to the ground because they keep watching streams of challenger players who stomp darius players in lane, and in game. Now I am not asking you to take me as some idiotic man who is just posting this out of the blue. I know you guys kind of made this game so complicated to balance there will always be characters that fall out of the meta, and characters that are good. But I mean if you see something like this, a character gaining full hp from the press of a button, two characters that smack characters below 2000 health 6 feet under ground. You might reconsider only balancing for the platinum and above. Games are supposed to be fun Well what's fun about knowing that if you leave champ select you'll lose mmr, lp, and get a ban for the certain amount of minutes. What's fun about knowing whatever you do you will always somehow die to these busted ass characters.

That's why you don't get into a fed Darius's range when he has 5 stacks as an adc.

Warwick is fine right now just get some item 3165 item 3123 and his ganks aren't that good

Syndra isn't even op anymore

I get the warwick thing. But as stated he got 5 stacks then flashed on me, while in the middle of a teamfight. Aswell as syndra might not be op according to you, but then again pressing R and instakilling someone is pretty op to me.

go play syndra, be even, and get a 7 sphere ult on a full health target and post a video of it.

I get what you're saying I get it I truly do, but still, I am an adc player, which peaks at about 1700 health. So.... you get what I'm saying now?

The healing your complaining can just be fixed with a mortal reminder >.>item 3033

Sure that works for warwick, but note that kayn still has a bunch of lifesteal, he won't heal his entire healthbar, but reducing it by 40% will still revolve in him getting a fuckton of hp back, which in my PERSONAL OPINION is pretty stupid.

So based off the video, balancing is difficult and bottom line is there will always be META

Yes it sucks to be an adc in 2k17 so maybe its time to expand your roles and champ pools? I feel your frustration, and I share it to a certain degree, but at the end you gotta ask if winning is fun, or playing is fun? I think the truth for the majority of people is they have fun when there's a chance of victory and even more so when they get chances to stomp. Rn its those champs and their players' time to shine. In League, you're either so good with your specific champ and role the META doesn't affect you or you read the META and adapt to it with each patch. I guess I'm saying ban as many of them as you can as often as you can and also adopt them yourself. Use the fire yourself and do the smacking. Or practice so hard with vayne you make people cry from kite skills
