Melees are the most broken in aram now thanks to backtrack. Good job?

A casual game mode to practice mechanics is now barely able to do that. Just get a melee, build tank/bruiser, throw a snowball or flash onto the team to save all your mobility spells, then when you either kill the backline or get to half health, just press backtrack and you're 100% safe every time.

Imagine all the creative ways you can use this spell. You can kamikaze the backline with kassadin and then backtrack. You can kamikaze the backline with Garen and then backtrack. You can kamikaze the backline with Maokai and then backtrack. You can kamikaze the backline with Nautilus and then backtrack. You can kamikaze the backline with fiora and then backtrack. The possibilities are endless.

Do the gameplay people at Riot even slightly try to envision how their ideas will play out before releasing things? I'm sincerely asking.

If you ask that question you should know the answer by now. It's a hard FUCK NO they don't. I don't think anyone at riot outside the Ticket support system actually gives a flying shit about what goes into the game be it making aram's insanely stupid to play or having to constantly nerf champions after they are released or reworked. For once I would like riot to actually sit down and THINK about what they are doing and not look at the game and think... "This champ is bad, REWORK TO OP STATUS FOR EVERYONE!!!"

Sorry but riot's lack of common sense in design makes me wonder what happened to the times of old where champs kits were not overloaded and things like backtrack in aram's making blitz and any other melee champ incredibly over bearing since they can now, WALK THROUGH WALLS AGAIN (I already hated this last time it was put into the game since it makes it impossible to kill a yi running to your back line) and now they can just say fuck you to your engage.... Like COME ON RIOT. Time to put the coffee on and smell the roast. Y'all need to stop being clowns and actually show the players you give a shit about play-ability of your game.

who would pick backtrack on garen? if you go in, you just want to go in.

snowball and flash is more than enough. flash doesnt have a cooldown in that mode anyway.

the way i see it, backtrack can only be used as an escape, while flash can be used either way, and snowball just generally helps you get in.
