League and Were it is Going With the Current Meta.
Hi thanks for viewing. In this patch many champions are a staple and are extremely unbalanced and make the game unfun to play. This isn't not a hate thread but more of a "bringing to surface thread." Currently 2 champs dominate the top lane in gold elo. These being Garen and Riven. I just played a game at Aatrox top lane and got killed by a Garen ult doing 1937 TRUE Damage. I am honestly not sure what planet this is balanced on. TRUE DAMAGE. I was at half health from one Garen Q and E then boom dead. Riven has been known to be toxic for months now. The new changes to armor increase he toxicity and he kit is too low risk for high reward.
In the Mid lane we have Ahri. Very low risk, great lane sustain, and, guess what, MORE TRUE DAMAGE.
In the jungle we have the devourer kings (not really going to highlight these)
In the bot lane with have these two combos which are in every single game of ranked for the past 1-2 weeks. Vayne and thresh vs Jinx and leona. Champion diversity is at an all time low. During the tank meta, the champ diversity sky rocketed, for the first time, Urgot was competitive, Kog'Maw was seen a lot, Corki, Ashe, etc were all competitive picks.
A typical team comp currently looks somewhat like this Top- Garen Jungle- Elise/ devouerer jungler Midlane- Ahri/ Annie Bot lane- Vayne and Thresh
Honestly I, and many other people, are having the least amount of fun ever. I've played the game sense 2009 and honestly, this game seems to be dying to me. Not being able to play the game because they have a fed vayne, jinx, garen, or riven really just makes that game feel like a 20 minute running around and dying simulator before you inevitably die to a true damage execute.
