Some stuff to discuss.
Hey guys
Just like a lot of other players, as I just experienced here on the board, I haven't been having a lot fun with this game anymore. I'd love to actually have/create a discussion without people crying about a bunch of stuff or insulting Riot.
But i really would like the opinion (especially higher elo players since i'm low elo myself so i know there's not a lot of fun to be had for us noobs) on a few of these points.
-
Zoe Is she really as broken as she feels. I mean, if she lands her E ur basically dead, At that point you cant even flash or zhonyas anymore when u're in sleep and the dmg on that Q gets pretty ridiculous even without a whole lot of ap. I can't really think of another champ with this much power and so little counterplay once you get hit by her E. Oh and it's AOE too so hiding right behind ur minions doesn't work either. My opinion is that she is far too strong and I believe I see most players share this opinion.

Ornn Wins every matchup. Carry toplaners can't win cause of his cc and shields. Tank toplaners get wrecked by his dmg. For a champ that has such strong teamfight engage i don't think he should do so much dmg. Also with his passive item buying he is kinda overloaded in my opinion

The meta and total lack of champion diversity (Bot lane perspective) Riot has been saying for years and years that they value champion diversity. But for my experience this feels like a joke right now. The difference between meta champs (most of them busted cause of runes) and non-meta (garbaga and unplayable champs, outclasssed by a mile by others). I mean some champs fit the meta better then other but I want to play the champs I like especially but if that means a garanteed loss then where is the fun. You basically need to play the same 3-5 champs the whole time or else u lose.
I main adc. I used to main Sivir. Now i feel she can't do much. Basically every good adc right now is good because they have range and less danger of getting caught in the fire. Which brings me to the fact that every champ can kill you. Even supports do a lot of dmg now. So that means we are getting forced to play poke or long range adc's just to have some chance at staying safe. And I'm really not liking it.

Either stomp or get stomped Is it just the elo or is every elo like this were either you win without feeling any joy cause u had no impact at all or you lose feeling helplessly like you had no chance to win at all. There is a lot of post of this already about towers and snowball mechanics so i won't get started on that. But i'm just saying that I feel way to sad when losing and I feel no joy at all when winning. I miss the 50 minute long games where 1 last fight decides it all and at the end ur like wow that was fun (win or lose). Right now climbing feels like RNG where you gotta hope that ur on the right team that stoms the other one.

Toxicity and Ragequit Because of the above, I notice that people start flaming each other way more often and give up very fast by ragequitting or AFK'ing. People instantly get frustrated when some strong champ is in on the other team or gets fed and I really dont like that atmosphere in my games.
So basically, this game has lost it's glory imo. I see people left and right complaining about the balance of the game, the new runes etc... but Riot isn't going to change anything because all they care about is proffesional play. Who cares if Yasuo, Nasus, Yi, Katarina, Zoe ... stomps every solo queue game (low and/or high elo), if they dont get picked in LCS, they just buff it or dont care at all.
These are just the points i could came up while writing this so forgive me if i forget something. Also i'm just a gold players so I might not know the deeper reasons behind some of this stuff but that's part of the reason of this post.
Oh well just let me know ur opinion. I really value the neutral opinions of other players and I'd love to hear about u all. I'd also like to hear how u guys deal with this current state of the game. (I mean in-game, so not just 'don't play'). And ffs dont start crying about me being a gold 1-2-3 elo scrub this post is just my opinion and If I'm wrong about something then teacht me how to be right. I don't listen to insults, only arguments and logic ok?
