I'm okay with snowball

But I'm not ok with THIS LEVEL OF UNBALANCE All those crit, Yasuo, Graves ........ Are nothing compare to Guinsoo. I started playing league from s2, and I have always been highly addicted to this game. Never in my life I have felt such bored and tired of league. Never in my life I have seen such an unbalanced patch. okay it's preseason, so the changes will come, like... A 300 gold increase on Guinsoo's price? Yeah it really matters if these bs Jax Irealia Xin become unstoppable at 14min instead of 13. I'm really sick of this "Guinsoo or lose " bs.

Yeah summoner 32 is my favorite thing about ARAM and it really makes fiddlesticks a beast when he gets 6

Clearly you weren't playing when Xin was released.

On topic: the snowball is the problem right now. Rageblade is a mild annoyance, but even if they made it too expensive to use, there are so many other options now for carries to itemize with. Would it really be any better if Jax rushed Gunblade first and stomped you with that instead while healing all your damage back?

i was playing than xin was released, and i have to say rageblade xin >>>>>>>>>>>> release xin

AnidanNov 23, 20151 votes

Release Xin was far worse. I have no idea what you remember, but trust me.. the scars remain. Release Xin was the most unbalanced thing I've ever seen outside of Beta, and that's including probably every preseason (Even pre-season 3 Talon during League of Cleavers, when he'd get 2-3 Cleavers and AoE your whole damn team down at the same time)

Kind of sums up my feelings exactly. People keep pointing out it's Preseason like that should exempt the game from criticism and not feeling like an open beta.

You know item 3124 is overpowered when someone who is reliant entirely on damage and has no AP damage ( MasterYi ) is rushing it lmfao

To be fair though most of the champs building Guinsoo are doing it because their previous core item item 3153 got nerfed to shit

Lithium RosaNov 23, 20151 votes

Yeah exactly my thought, this is definitely wrong when the champions who don't even hybrid rush this.

Prospector PeteNov 22, 20152 votes

I agree. The game is in such an unbalanced state right now, and I know it's preseason, but still. Minor nerfs won't do anything.

DengedenNov 23, 20152 votes

A one minute difference is considerable when a lot of games end around 20 minutes.

Everything is OP, so I don't mind Jax or Irelia 1v1ing my stupid junglers. Well, I mind having my junglers thinking they're gods among men ... you know what I mean.

personally I haven't noticed anything different when fighting yas other than 2 items for 100% crit chance, but everything else feels the same, I don't know if ranked players have it nay different but this is my experience

graves on the other hand, his have a wave clear on his AA every now and then makes it a nightmare to push lane

The PatriachyNov 22, 20151 votes

They need to make it so melee get 1 stack per auto. Keep the price the same. The item feels perfectly balanced on ranged champions but feels like an item worth 4k gold on melee cause they don't have to stack the passive.

We are all ready in a position where champions that relied on high ad + last whisper (wukong, kha, riven, zed etc) are terrible. It seems like Riot are creating a game where only crit based ad champions + mages who can use deathfire touch are strong.

So I played vs a Jax 2 games ago and got completely decimated by him, his w and q nearly one shot me when he had guinsoo's and hextech. So me being curious decided to play Irelia the next game. Never have I seen a more toxic item path build for champions than Guinsoo's, AS and Damage. I mean why the hell should i be able to 1v5 their whole team pretty much?

I mean... Wtf is this BS

The funny thing is yesterday when I was going to play Xin, I told myself no, I will not build Guinsoo, and I switched my masteries and runes back to AD from hybrid/ap, get everything ready for a normal AD build. BUT HELL I COULDN'T EVEN CONTROLL MY HANDS, This item is certainly cursed, this need to be ended

It helps if you play offmeta picks and "fun" champs. In normals. Not for ranked.

My Waifu VanillaNov 23, 20151 votes

Except it is nearly impossible to play anything "fun" top lane when the Jax bar is enabled. If you can't trade with Jax you can't go top. Played GP top and went against him and at level 6 the Grandmaster at Arms did half my health with W+Q+R and 0 items. It only really gets worse when he starts getting items and then also getting 500 total resists by building nearly full damage. Late game (30 minutes) he had 300 armor and 200 MR under his ult with just a Warden's mail for armor statsand a spectre's cowl for MR (or hexdrinker idr). Like I am fine with Jax having these stats and all but he can't instantly win lane after level 6 and like a Pickaxe. He should have higher mana costs (because his are abysmally low compared to other top laners) and maybe lower bases on some of his abilities (especially his ult on all parts of it). He can live this late game fantasy like last season but right now he is the king of "mid game" which is like 10 minutes into the game.

AnidanNov 23, 20151 votes

Higher mana costs, or lower bases. Pick one. We don't need to see another period of time where Jax is damn near unused, and both combined would do exactly that even with the Rageblade. Mostly because we shouldn't see a time where anyone is damn near unused. But thus the way of Rito balance.

Knowing riot, all rageblade users will be nerfed including rageblade just give them a month.

SeenanNov 23, 20151 votes

On that topic, a bork+rageblade+devo ...any of those seems terrifying.

people really overdramatize guinsoos.

I honestly don't mind the snowball at all. I'm quite enjoying not wanting to pull my hair out as my team slowly loses a drawn out 40 minute game with zero hope of comebacks but just refuses to surrender. Now those games are over in 25.

Carbon SteelNov 28, 20151 votes

I agree with the OP, I used to play LOL almost every day, now I play maybe a game a week and to be honest that is only because I feel guilty due to how much money I have spent on the game.

I have not enjoyed a single game since the preseason started. The game feels horrible to play now. It is so unbalanced it is unbelievable, the game snowballs so hard, crit (which to me was the worst thing about this game) got buffed so massively. When I play a game win or lose, I am bored out of my mind and I regret even logging in. It probably doesn't help that I main AD assassins which are apparently in a terrible state right now but hey. I definitely feel like I should just uninstall this game and maybe come back to it in a few months, because in my opinion nothing short of a major overhaul is going to fix what riot have done to this game.

PS: Some people may notice that I have a hell of a lot of games on Yasuo (which may contradict my statement about crit) but I defend that by saying Yasuo has 100% crit which is the same as not having crit at all and just doing double damage on attacks, as there is no RNG involved.
