Remember when Riot was actively trying to prevent power creep?

Now it seems like they're trying to inject it wherever they can.

Funny how things change.

Edit for those that are curious what I'm referring to:

Movement's been slowly increasing, specific champions are essentially 'allowed' to be powerful by Riot. When champions that Riot likes aren't viable for long enough, Riot buffs them, making them the powerful lot, and so on.

The classic cases are between specific Junglers, ADCs as a class, and Assassins as a class.

You can't tell me you haven't noticed that, since season 1, ADCs have been getting more and more powerful due to this, then Riot buffs ADC early game in season 4 alongside that, making them a huge presence throughout the game so they can 'compete' before 20 minutes. This isn't a bad thing by itself, but the changes that came after made it a bad thing.

Now ADCs are given new itemization that allows them to build to practically any situation, making them what the Zerg in Starcraft II was any time they were powerful. See what the threat is, build the counter, win.

Meanwhile other classes do not get the same luxury, and if they do (juggernauts), they (the items) all get nerfed to the ground for doing their job. ADCs use the items too? Oh, it must not be that their itemization is so slot-efficient that they can afford bruiser items to still scale their damage while also scaling their defense. Its definitely juggernauts that have it too well-off, even though most of the bruisers/tanks using said items are not excelling. Better nerf bruiser itemization further. :)

ADCs have been power-creeping so hard in this game that it almost seems intentional. They don't even try to give other classes the same level of build diversity, despite mages being so desperate for it at the moment.

The worst victims of all this are the champions left out of the cycle I mentioned near the start. They're becoming weaker and weaker each season, effectively. When one finally competes, its usually because their kit is so binary and focused that they're just too reliable. Everyone else just gets left behind until they get Karma'd. Even then, they usually stay out of the cycle Riot loves to endorse.
