The many hypocrisies of the community

#"Assasins are weak. We should buff them so they can do their job!"

Except when assassins like Leblanc Zed Kassadin Fizz are viable, the entire community loses their mind because these champs could 100 to 0 a carry on top of their insane mobility. You know how the entire community completely despises Yasuo? That used to be Fizz. Remember 80% ban rate Zed? Remember permaban Kassa-win? Yeah. Turns out nobody enjoys playing against champs that have insane burst AND ridiculous mobility too.

#"Games are too short and snowbally! Make them longer!"

Yet these people dont remember what I like to call "League of Waveclear". It was that period when towers were super strong and the inner ones actually gave shields to their team. Every single game became a 50+ minute snoozefest of Ziggs and Xerath waveclearing at each other until 6 items. Popular complaints were that it was impossible to do anything with a lead because it was sooooo easy to drag a game out until full-builds anyway.

#"The damage creep is real! Damage needs to be toned down!"

Yet we're supposed to buff assassins instead of toning down other roles' damage too. But I guess we should just ramp up the damage so we can complain about it right?

#"Supports are useless! Riot should make them feel more impactful so more people play them!"

So Riot does and gives us things like the new item 3190 and item 3107 plus Sightstone upgrades. We immediately complain when supports actually build them and they are useful.

#"Mobilty creep! Why does every champ get 3340953045 dashes?! How do you play against this?!"

Then we complain when immobile mages have burst. Like they aren't giving up a major mechanic for damage. We'll then proceed to say these champs are "safe" like they aren't sitting ducks just waiting to get run down and shit on by the likes of Hecarim, Vi, Lee, Poppy, etc. According to the boards, highly mobile champs should have just as much damage as completely immobile ones

#"Kalista and Azir have been weak for so long! They need buffs!"

Completely neglect the absolute disdain for these champions when they were meta due to complete bullshit kits and mechanics. Lets bring them back though right?

#I could go on and on and on and on AND ON

Thats because people don't give a shit about balance. They only care about what smashed them in their last game

They went overboard with the nerfs for assassins. And fk you and your adcs.

Nobody likes games being ended in fking 25 minutes.

How does toning other people down in terms of damage help assassins do their job?

We wanted actual debuffs and cc, not bullshit like redemption, locket, and janna.

Those immobile mages usually have 1000 range. Ex: Lux, Xerath, and Ziggs

They feel absolutely useless. How about thinking RIot actually goes overboard with the nerfs.

I could also go on and on.

It's because the league boards are not one single person. Every poster has had different and unique experiences playing as a champion or against one. People will always have varying opinions.
