Bringing back the old flavour

Greetings Traveller,

so I am playing LoL since S1 with some up and downs especially after my beloved fiora got reworked(so i switched to DOTA 2) and as i feel like more and more people seem to complain about the game i thought what happened to it. The main reason for me why the game isn´t as fun as it was in s1/2/3 is probably that i am older and played it for such a long time. But there are without a doubt other reasons too.

1. The Game is way more casual I feel like all the timers that have been added to the Game (even tho i kinda like them) took away a big portion of Skill as you dont have to know the timers or even keep them in your head as you can always look at them. Also having free warding items and dewarding items also makes it way less skillfull to use wards imo.

2. Champions beeing forced into roles. When i think back at the "good old times" i think of playing champs nearly everywhere i want. Especially having the ability to play way more champions on AP, like Corki AP or Kog´maw AP, also even tho i hated it you could play AP yi which was cool (just needed to be more balanced). Also stuff like Leona AP or Blitzcrank AP were a nice thing to play. Or AD Lulu and so on. That just added much more variety to the game and made it feel fresh nearly every game.

3. Easy Jungle Also what i feel like an unhealthy thing for League is that the jungle has gotten way easier and faster then t used to be (hoping the new changes help with that). I just remember that as a jungler the beginning was way harder and most champions would have pretty low health at the beginning. Also a strong jungle (for me as top and midlaner especially) of playing a 1v1 until the laning phase is over. Ofc gangs shouldn´t be completely going away but they should at least be delayed a bit, so you can show your Skill in a 1v1 Situation than rather i a 2v2(Counting Botlane as 1 Player). Also jungle should imo be more of an assisting role that can scale into lategame and assist laner in ther late early to mid game but they shouldnt be able to 1v1 a laner (with the exception of ADC´s or Supporter when they are alone).

4. Uneven roles in General Ofc as a toplaner i have to complain that imo the impact on the game a toplaner as is way to low. Sometimes getting ranked below support as how important the role is feels wrong. I get that top shouldnt be the deciding factor and that the imprortance of roles shifts through the seasons but i think that botlane and jungle had that role for long enough and it would be good to mix that a little more often.

5. Too much cc Last but not least, I think that because more and more cc has been added to the game that puts alot of older champions in a weak spot. I remember when jax stun was a pretty punishing cc, but nowadays that can be countered relatively easy with the cc awailable.

6. I could be totally wrong As I am only one person with subjective thoughts i know that alot of people feel different about this thing especially when they main a different role so i would like to hear your thoughts on how the Game could be improved besides just nerfing/buffing single champs.

Anyway I am still a big fan of the Game and wish you all the best.
