The game is in a pretty shitty state right now

AD itemization far outclasses AP period. It has better build paths, better items, better starting items, and to top it off AP items got nerfed mostly so that full build AP builds often contain about 50 less AP even though void staff gives 80 now (most AP builds yielded around 750 AP full build on average now we hit about 680-700). We lost 20 on Luden's, 20 on Zhonya's, Also AD has a better diversity to choose from (it's always been that way but at least mages had really good gold efficiency). Also I want to mention that item 1026 has almost the same gold efficieny as item 1058 while item 1036 and item 1038 have near the same gold efficiency but enhance more attributes.

There is way too much damage and unreliable sources of it in this game. Masteries added a huge chunk of DPS to almost everyone not even including keystones. Without keystones we get about 5% more than last season. We need to tone all the keystones down. Move everything backwards because the games are going way too fast with basically everyone having a 5th ability to scale off of causing rampant snowballing (hence the reason Thunderlord's needed to be nerfed, not the other masteries being buffed).

Let's also not forget that Riot has still yet to fix the core items that are breaking the game right now: item 3742 item 3748 item 3053 item 3508 (its a mana CDR item that is being built by non-mana heavy crit ADCs but it was made for casters) item 3092 (still havent dealt with the ridiculous gold efficiency combined with income and high utility benefits.).

There is no way to play safe while behind because you cannot buy any form of vision that will last if you are behind. Meaning that one kill can lead to complete loss of lane and results in the end of a game because it is often less dangerous to face check or roam while ahead than behind. Simple solution is to at least let us buy green wards again and maybe redo the blue trinket so its not gambling for vision when behind.

This season is just so shitty that I literally can not enjoy playing it by myself anymore. I have to play with friends and do weird non meta stuff all the time or I feel A) bored because every game is the same thing (I mean it was before but at least it didn't feel like every game was just a bunch of people nuking eachother 24/7) or B) pissed off by how many toxic mechanics are now in place thanks to S6 changes.

Guess that's your opinion pal. Everyone else thinks it's fun. If you're not a good player then chances are you will lose. Simple as that.

No a lot of people are saying they are losing interest in this game. Even players in high elos. The game is really stale. In low elos its snowball or lose. In high elos its pick the better tier champs or lose. There isn't any playing whoever you want, there isn't enough way to comeback from behind. There isn't enough actual player skill right now. If you make a single mistake it could cost everyone the game. Whereas before 1 mistake could make the game hard, but you could still come back without the other players making mistakes.

The key to fixing the game right now is letting us buy wards, nerfing all keystones even if just a little, and rebuffing AP itemization so it isn't as shitty early game. Then we go and deal with DMP and the other really broken bruiser items that share way too much synergy. I'm talking the item 3053 item 3742 item 3748 item 3068 combo.

I don't know if I completely agree on the why, but a completely agree that this season is complete and total shit. I've been playing since S2 as a support main, when I got to build green wards at early, mid, and lategame. That was still preferrable to this 3 minute nukefest followed by a 20 minute wait-for-surrender. I used to play this game more than almost everyone in my circle of friends and now won't play it on my own anymore. It's just frustrating loss followed by frustrating win followed by frustrating loss. I can't even win a game without wanting to quit.

I think this is due to the Ranking system, it needs to be fixed, matchmaking is horrible.

I go into detail why I think this is, I've been getting a lot of great feedback, and little bit of bad. Some great higher level players have been tossing in their opinions. Though I don't think the issue effects them as much.

Anyways, the more opinions the better.
