Alright, I think I officially hate the boards

Like, the mods keep a tight leash on your neck so you can't say how you really feel, but holy fucking shit it's cancer reading these threads. How do you imagine that official Rioters want to read this shit when even randoms and nobodies like myself want to pull their hair out over this baseless, 24/7 baby-rage storm that NEVER ENDS?

So we complain about the marksmen being too strong, but the game's even worse now that they've been brought in line? I don't understand. Marksmen have fluctuated in power over the years, but they have been FUCKING KINGPINS to every fucking team comp in this game FOR THE GREATER PART OF A DECADE. We have one patch where Riot FINALLY does something about this and we see "B-b-but crit marksmen aren't via-" literally shut the fuck up. It's been less than a single fucking month. How big of a bitch can someone be where they can't take an L for a few weeks after being the number 1 thing on EVERY team comp ever since League looked like a PS1 game? Riot already has changes on the way anyway, and you guys are so fucking eager to never see anything but marksmen in bot lane again that you won't piss off.

It's the same with every complaint you can think of. Every fucking move that can be made in regards to the game, whether it's a new champ, a rework, or some balance change, Is KiLLiNg thE gAme anD it'S ALl RitO's FauLt!! Aatrox is consistently asked about because no one likes how weak he feels? Riot FINALLY gets the rework on him rolling and bam, everyone's fucking crying because he's seeing pro play like 2 weeks before the rework actually lands, like Riot's supposed to scrap the whole thing NOW after all this bitching you guys did up to this point. Maybe Riot didn't have to rework the guy in the first place, and if we opened up bot lane and handled tanks sooner it would have been apparent that some champs just needed the proper environment to succeed which was impossible to create because of the stiff meta marksmen imposed on the Rift? Who knows, but it's too late to backtrack now. Don't cry for more and more Aatrox work if you don't want him worked on. They already mini-reworked the guy and people were STILL asking for Aatrox work, so hell, it is what it is.

Speaking on VGUs, why do you guys thinks VGUs are supposed to be Tristana-style updates every time? They're relaunches of a concept, not minor changes. What's the point of a VGU of, say, Fiora, if she keeps almost everything the same as old Fiora? Literally. Fucking. Nothing. So why are you guys surprised when it comes to other champs? VGUs are work done for champs that many would say have inherent flaws in their game play pattern + really shitty PS1 graphics...or they just help us update Ryze annually, either or. So when it's Nunu's turn, don't people start coming out acting all extra. You know the deal...people are fucking tired of this "tank" that can't peel shit and does nothing but rapid repeat pressing Q on your head till 4 people catch you and you die, or builds ap and forgets he falls off in 15 minutes by building ap and loses with a score of 12/8/15.

Tanks dominating play to the point everyone hates them? Alright, Riot effectively ends the tank meta through balance changes, but now everyone's complaining about faster games and damage being high. WELL NO SHIT. Tanks stall out games. Anti-carries like assassins and early game divers hit the gas on games. If you weaken tanks and strengthen shit like assassins, Lee Sin, Xin Zhao, and early game influencers of their sort, you get faster games. If anything, Riot removed a good bit of overall damage from the game as of recent, but people complain damage is too high because solo queue team comps look like this most of the fucking time Gangplank Graves Zoe Kaisa Brand . No shit you either win or burn out...look at your fucking team comp. If you had a sturdier team comp, or if you had someone that heals in there, you'd have longer team fights. If you stuff a comp full of carries, OF COURSE YOU'LL ALL DIE QUICKLY. YOU DON'T HAVE A FUCKING TANK. And don't try to slide in some cheap shit about some 0/4/3 Shen dying too fast. Feeding tanks aren't tanks. They're armored go karts and die like them, too, obviously.

Like, come on. I get if you guys are feeling a bit confused or "taken by surprise" over the fact that Riot ACTUALLY delivered on their promise to take the edge off of marksmen this season, but jeeze, man. Don't cry to the point where Riot makes us go back to marksmen controlling the entire fucking game. Don't cry to the point where Riot slows down on updating old champs when shit like Master Yi is still running around ruining solo queue and wasting bans. Don't fucking ruin the progress we made over you guys being flabbergasted for like 3 weeks, man. You know how much bitching people had to do for this? For assassins to not be useless? For marksmen to finally share bot lane? For CHANGE to finally happen!? Stop ruining good things. Shit, man.

game is worse now because of gold funnelling strategy and bruisers being so gamebreaking that LCK players are picking 2 supports bot lane+3 bruisers

I could make a fucking book on all the contradictory whining that goes on on these boards. Like how am I supposed to land on every single thing on just the opening post?

How long did people bitch about fighters being weak? How long? Riot sure fixed that issue, right? On a serious note: It's been way too hard to find a spot for skirmishers and fighters in higher realms of play up until now. Softening up marksmen and their hold on the meta while pushing fighters forward at the rallying cry of Hashinshin basically gave fighters and skirmishers newfound purpose in the game in a place where marksmen used to dominate. Like, purpose, not just "Meh you're the strongest thing in top lane now". It's possible to rely on a Yasuo, or an Irelia, or an Aatrox, to carry a game just as much as Ezreal, or Kai'Sa, or Xayah can. That's a good thing in the long run, although it could still use a bit of polish. The general direction IS right.

Also what games have had three fighters? Remember Vlad isn't a fighter, and neither is Yasuo.

As for gold funneling: It being this big is a new phenomenon and Riot's already stated that they're looking for solutions to deal with it. I too don't think it's cool watching a single Kai'Sa and 4 supports run somebody over in pro games. We'll see what Riot does to fix it in time.

There's ALWAYS going to be something that's super strong in League of Legends. That simple. At that point you just gotta stop playing competitive games and play a JRPG...which isn't a diss. I love JRPGs.

Like, it's Jinx one day, Janna the next, then Trist, and eventually GP, if not Graves, before we go to Azir, and then Irelia, or whoever else. It changes because the game always changes. It doesn't end because League won't ever end development.

Anime is omega awesome times 1,007!!!

Now disney star wars is weeb-tier trash, like traditional ADCs. I blame the boards for complaining about ADCs since hashinshin rage-memed about it once. Riot eventually listened to them and here we are.

I'm upvoting: been playing on and off since before Xin Zhao was released and I can't help but think how spoiled the vocal majority seems to be now. Most of them have never experienced Garen stacking Sunfire Capes, or Singed/Mundo with Force of Nature, or the The Black Cleaver double-top meta. Not to mention a lot of things I haven't experienced such as Heimerdinger having 10 turrets and building a giant minion wave, Twisted Fate having his R as one of his basic abilities, Gangplank killing his own minions with Raise Morale (not exactly significant, but still one of those bizarre remnants from when League pretended to be DotA).

Hell, there are several times I have won 3v5s and lost 5v3s in the old seasons, because that was how bad the balance was back then.

Spoken like someone who doesn't want balance and just wants what they like regardless of anything

I don't see how. Also, this thread has more to it than just balance discussion.
