Current playing experience and few suggestions
Recently I'm getting bored playing league. There are couple of reasons I wanna talk about.
-
Champion diversity getting narrowed thru patch to patch Yea, not only because most of champion got adjust to either ad or ap, and also they've been getting "stuck" to specific role. Many things have been getting standardized, like Builds, Roles, Champs, strategies, for instance, in the old day, we got double jg, ChoGath solo bot, Full ap roaming Sion/Tristana, etc. That was kinda fun that the champion can be played in very different style. Besides looking the winrate chart, pick rate should be one of the consideration.

Champion and item imbalance Since S8 with the new runes reforge, we don't exactly have runes to avoid counterpicks. The whole game is more like who pick OP champs with a decent team com then who wins the game. like Vladimir, there are only few champions can able to go 50/50 or beat him, and he is insanely strong late game. AP jglers except Evelynn are trash, AD jg with a duskblade can easily beat you even you are 1 more item ahead, like Kayn and Kha, fast jg cleanup, easy assassination, easy escape, low mana cost. Once they get snowballed, ADC, APC are just disappeared in one second no matter how good your mechanic are when you can only build GA to survive. Nerf or Buff champion is not the only way to create balance, Adjusting some champions that have been forgotten and bring em back to the game and supposing the other way that can confront the situation. Damage for some champions definitely need to be evaluated base on how much risk it takes and what situation they suppose to do.

Role picking I know people may not agree me at this point. imo I truly think good player can easily deal with every lane and have good sense of macro play, and sure micro. We used to call role in the chat, and cooperate with the team. Nowadays, it often happens 0 conversation in the chat. And people keep saying they can play "only" Adc, AP mid, otherwise they gonna troll or screw up the entire game.
Yea, I maybe talking about the old day, just wanna share my point of view as a player with my playing experience. I believe there must be an alternative way to keep those good features.
