Next season is going to be a blast

I'm gunna be frank. I was sick of working my ass off as a jungler to get my lanes ahead... sacrificing levels, gold, mid game powerspikes all to make sure my team had a solid lead in lane. all to watch it mean nothing when late game hit and stall out patterns emerged.

its been this way for 2 seasons now. agonizingly long games where you feel like one fight effected the outcome of the entire game. sure... it made for epic moments. but epic moments at the cost of 20+ minutes of futile grinding? it made me want to quit several times. I DID quit (ranked)

these last few days on the PBE got my spirits up.

SURE... some things are ridiculously overtuned and need to be rebalanced (thats why we have preseason) SURE... it can be frustrating to feel like you cant turn a game around

but dammit, i like where riot seems to be headed with all this. the game FEELS like your contributions early-mid game have late game rewards. hell... it feels like you could actually prevent late game from happening in soloque if you work hard enough and make the right decisions.
