This board has been the epitome of a gigantic circlejerking bitchfest for a few months now.

I swear to god, I lose IQ every single fucking time I visit the Gameplay board. There should be a gigantic fucking warning saying “WARNING, CIRCLEJERKING IN ACTION AHEAD. VISIT AT YOUR OWN RISK.”

Every time I come back to this pit of flames it’s always the same shit for just about the entire time since preseason (and before that, can’t forget). Every second thread follows the same formula, aka:

“DAMAGE IS TOO HIGH” “IGNITE OP” “DAMAGE IS TOO HIGH” “WHY AD ITEMS STRONGER THAN AP ITEMS” “REMOVE DUSKBLADE” “DAMAGE IS TOO HIGH” “OBVIOUS AD BIAS OVER AP” “ELECTROCUTE TOO STRONG” “SEEKER’S ARMGUARD TOO WEAK” “WHY NO HEXDRINKER FOR AP” “DAMAGE IS TOO HIGH” “ADC LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE” “TOWERS WEAK” “THE META BAD NO FUN” “DAMAGE IS TOO HIGH”

This single board is quite literally the best example I can provide of regurgitating information over and over again until it gets stuck in someone’s brain to the point of believing it.

Feel free to downvote, I don’t care, just wanted to get this off my chest because holy shit is this bad.

Bye.

I just love seeing all of the conflicting complaints but my favorite is when people get downvoted for correcting misinformation. Like if you downvote things it somehow makes them not facts anymore.

I'm not going to downvote you, but also think you are wrong. I've had a lot of good conversations with other members of the boards over the last two months. We don't always have the same opinion, and in some cases just had to agree to disagree, but for a circlejerk to work everyone has to agree, which happens very rarely, and is often with good cause.

Personally I disagree with a lot of the arguments listed there, and others are just facts... So here they are as I see them:

“DAMAGE IS TOO HIGH”

In a way yes, but that's only because gold is so much more abundant in the game at the moment. 2 seasons ago at 30 minutes you'd have maybe 2 items complete? Now you're likely to have 3 - 4. More if you've snowballed.

“IGNITE OP”

Ignite isn't OP... It's just the thing people put on you when you are low to ensure you die.

“WHY AD ITEMS STRONGER THAN AP ITEMS”

Not stronger so much as more diverse. This is a fact...

“REMOVE DUSKBLADE”

Most people want duskblade changed. No one really agrees how.

“OBVIOUS AD BIAS OVER AP”

AD tend to take priority over AP. Bot lane tends to be an AD champion, Toplane tends to be an AD champion, and jugnle tends to be an AD champion. Midlane tends to be an AP champion. Support can be either. A lot of champions that build AD can also build AP, but they don't because the options given by being AD are far greater then being AP. Again, this is a fact.

“ELECTROCUTE TOO STRONG”

Not really tbh. There are just very few damage orientated keystones, and few of those are where they should be. Comet relies on a slow to hit, aery does less damage then scorch or cheapshot in a game... those are pretty much it. ADC's get a few more options, and ofc the top laners have their own keystones, but for everyone else electrocute is pretty much the most viable option.

“SEEKER’S ARMGUARD TOO WEAK”

Not too weak, just doesn't really do what it used to. You used to build it against an AD champion to gain some tankiness early. Now it just doesn't do much. This is, AGAIN, a fact

“WHY NO HEXDRINKER FOR AP”

There is not, and should not be an item that's is hexdrinker for AP. Null Mantle however SHOULD be useable against physcial damage, NOT magic. It's in the goddamn sorcery tree ffs lol

“ADC LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE”

This is total bs, but then adc's are used to being the be all and end all. They're used to being viable in bot lane, midlane, top lane and jungle. Hell ashe and mf have even been top teir supports recently. Don't hate them for wanting this back, they will learn to accept how things are/were before.

“TOWERS WEAK”

They kinda are? Die toplane, use TP, die again and your tower is good as gone unless your jungler fancies trying to 2v1 lol.

“THE META BAD NO FUN”

Again, this is a personal preference. I personally agree with this statement, for me it is not fun, but I know there are others that are enjoying it and will no doubt be just as upset when it changes away from being all about them as ADC's are currently.

“DAMAGE IS TOO HIGH”

I deleted most of these, but felt I'd leave the 2nd/last one in to point out that using the same point repeatedly to "fill out" your list is a cheap move. Most people won't have read them all you're right, but some of us will and it takes away from your credibility as a mature thread owner.

So yeah, those are my views on those points. Anyone can now feel free to reply to my post and have a conversation regarding whichever topic they have a conflicting or similar opinion to, and thus a conversation is born. It's kinda what the boards are for, and even if the same conversation is happening 7 times on the boards, that doesn't mean it is happening with the same people. It's what the broads are for. Get used to it or just avoid the boards lol

I think for once the damage in the game is a little wonky. We need better defensive tools for the amount of burst in the game right now. Not that I want to reduce all damage by 10% or any of that crap, I just think current defensive options are just crap.

There's circlejerk now and it has been like that forever, I will never forget the Worst Thread Ever and the most upvoted coment of that thread that almost made me spit after reading it all:

I am generally okay with negative threads about a game if the feedback is solid with supporting data. The problem with these threads(and in turn killing their credibility) is that they lack evidence to support them. If you even attempt to challenge them then you get downvoted by the people circle jerking them. Doesn't really bother me though because its killing their own credibility by refusing to actually bring up a counter argument.

The best ones that actually try to bring up facts and figures end up getting drowned out by qq threads that contribute nothing really because those take a loot more worth then qq about x thing. Then people are like "why doesn't Riot listen".
