League of Stopwatch

More then half of everyone has this rune in the pros every game. This should tell you, the item shouldn't exist from a rune. It is 100% cancer in game to have that early of an hourglass free of charge. I have not been a fan of the new runes since they have come into play, now that the cookie cutter builds are all over the game has lost that fun factor. I for one am done with the imbalance of these items and the silliness of it all. Yay going double relics was nerfed to stop every game from going over an hour.. thanks. This was meta last year with going double relic, stop making bot lane a sustain , i take no dmg and can't die for 20 mins game.

The original live steal nerf addressed this, now you brought it back in a more toxic way. As an ADC main since I started playing ranked. this is the first season I don't even enjoy it. There is no pay off bot lane for being aggressive, not even a point to poke. all of it can be healed up. Don't worry about that 4 man gank under tower ... I got a free stop watch ! 4 man dive turns into a double or triple kill for the adc. It's great for trolling and just being toxic, it is for sure not an out play to hit the key to use stop watch, didn't add anything to the game.

It really feels like this season was just meant to be a highlight real of stopwatch, great tons of NBA money came into the game, so now we need promo stopwatch videos ?

There's a reason why Zhoyna's is 2900 gold....the active is a game changer. The fact that you can now get a Zhoyna's active at 6 minutes FOR FREE is enough by itself, but the fact that you can rebuy it AND it contributes to the items that are built out of it is beyond insanity.

When you purchase it after you've already used your free one, you purchase a broken one.

Ah good, they removed the ability to reuse it. Well, the fact that it still contributes to those 3 items is just over the top.

So you still have a tower botlane when your stopwatch is available ? Lucky you.

Riot: "Okay fine, tanks are meta, hypercarries are meta, early tower buffs, sustain runes, Dark Harvest is pretty good, and Unsealed and Perfect Timing can help slow down games. We cool?"

" hypercarries are meta "

Game scales fast enough for that to not assist in the game being shorter

"Okay fine, tanks are meta"

Having only specific tanks be meta like Ornn and Maokai isn't really true to the definition of a tank meta.

" early tower buffs "

Didn't help much. Also, Rift Herald.

"Perfect Timing can help slow down games"

"slow down"

Well for one thing they made the game even worse. A ripped garbage bag being dragged across the floor then thrown out is solving the garbage having to be taken out but now there is garbage on the floor as well. That is a very reachy analogy but it is related to Solving one problem with a solution that makes another one, which is exactly Stopwatch.

It wouldnt be free if there was an actual opportunity cost from picking it. The other slot choices are so bad that Perfect Timing is always the good choice.

Cookies? Meh. Hextech Flash? Mostly useless due to needing channel. A way to become invulnerable once from 6 minutes onwards? Pricless.
