Season 1-2 vs... now
I really hate how the community has been brain washed to think that the balance is any better than it was in s1-s2.
The honest truth about s1-s2, I was the worst I ever was, and hopefully will be, at league. In fact, I only played my 10 games of ranked to get rewards, hell even level 20's were let into ranked because there was shortage of players. What I did play though was close to 2000 normals.
Long story short, sure back then we raged about new champs being op on release, and some of them were. However, what I didn't feel bad about doing is picking up a champ and playing them. I didn't feel like shit just for picking the wrong champion into someone else. Sure, some games I got the shit kicked out of me, but you could turtle up and get some farm and get back into the game. Now its just a snowball fest of I died first GG...
I remember where tank like cho, mundo, rammus were actually unkillable if built correctly... Oh how I miss the times of season gone.
