the state of the game right now
if you dont have a twitch or tristana, or in some cases kog and vayne...SOME cases ur gimping your team to lose, especially if the enemy has one of them the support janna or lulu or soraka will simply peel and heal one of said adcs with ardent making them unkillable ragebosses with no counter play to a janna using her whole kit and items to protect the adc, ur not killing him anytime soon, and at best hell kill you way faster than you can kill him through his support. assassins, wich used to be a good balanced counter, used to be able to jump and insta gib a adc, and then kill thier little enchanter support with a roation or 2 of thier basic abilities right after. however now with janna lulu and raka running about, as well as the built in delays and way too much counterplay added to thier kits, they can barely kill adc unless the perfect situation arose even without the enchanters. assassins now are merely more mobile skrimishers, except skirmishers can duel and kill juggs/tanks and assassins.... bring nothing
heck id say if u freally wanted a easy way to climb, set up a premade with a sej jg and cho top cuz tanks op rn, build a bunch of hp reissitances then get a knights vow, gargoyle stoneplate and locket on both tanks. get a ardent censor enchanter support, and any generic cc mage mid. place the the double tank locket and vow as well as ardent and redemption and see if ur hypercarry is gonna die, muchless anyone else on your team. now this is just one of many examples on how to win in this current meta. nothing can really outcarry a fed adc, even if they had something leo or blitz. but now with ardent janna? GGWP.
just saying i never played janna before last partch but i just picked her up in ranked eushed ardent and slapped some shields on yas and twitch, and maybe a ult and redmeption fi ti got a little TOO dangerous and barely lost. heck i can shamelessly say thats the only reason im in promos to gold for the first time right now, all tho i got 2 afkers and inters in the first 2 games so i have to win 3 in a row if i want to taste victory(bad luck and now not they had a bad game legit top goes 0/10 and mid just ragequits) but i think it says alot that duskblade has to have enough dmg to make anyone a burst champ, just so assassins themselves can function and kill people(in the perect situation that is) not to mention adcs spike at ie and zeal item, and reach late game as soon as said zeal item is completed and maybe they have a vamp scepter or last whisper
