I start the game with 22 armor and zed can have a mini hexdrinker

Okay so in my eyes there is a difference between having balance problems and straight up not thinking about the full picture. You cannot sit there and tell me they intended for Urgot to 100-0 Mundo who had ninja tabi and components for sunfire cape, under tower, through ulti with Press the Attack. You cannot tell me they intended for this to happen. What is even sadder is that there are so many balance issues, like tanks being completely useless, yet they had 3 months of playtesting to get it right. This happens every single preseason where they just release the most broken crap for us to deal with.

The main problem I have with it is, i thought this would be a good system where you can play whatever fits your playstyle, but you really can't still so this massive patch doesn't even have the merit of fixing the issue of the old system. There is still a 100% best way to play and setup a champion.

And I think this is where people are angry at riot. They have 3 months to playtest something, and it isnt balanced nor is it even close to fixing the issues of the old system. So as much as you can sit here and say that its hard to balance, when you have 3 months to look at it, you should be able to get it mostly right, instead we are sitting in a meta where there is an entire class that is useless (tanks) and we have an entire class of auto attackers who are completely busted with Press the Attack.

Maybe if they listened to their playerbase, you know the people who actually play the game (yes we have known for a while now that there are very few rioters who play their own game) and tone back the base damages of abilities like we asked, for the past year. The game is too snowbally, turrets deal no damage, early game champions dont feel special anymore because EVERY SINGLE CHAMPION has an early game spike now, items are just way too strong for damage positions, cho'gath is actually retarded, what the hell is kayn and why can he clear, gank, and teamfight better than most junglers, why is hypermobility still a thing after 2 years of it being a clear problem? It has been like this for an entire year, where people have been asking for the same things again and again and Riot refuses to listen to their player base and things keep getting worse and worse.

So that being said, are you sure you can support their decision making when they are ignoring people with close to 20k hours in the game? I get their formula for success here, but playerbase is dropping fast, and they have to revert alot of what has happened. Damage needs to go back to season 3 levels, which will in turn fix alot of the issues with the game. Base damages have been creeping up to the point where early game is the same for everyone yet late game is still a place thats insanely strong for a few. This is just what I have observed over the past 6 years. If you disagree, fine, It just means I care more and have more passion for this beloved game. Unfortunately the company who owns it doesnt anymore.

And MR decrease for AD. Not to mention you got free base AP now.

But AD auto attack are not AP. They do not hybrid damage in the early game. AD lose MR, AP lose both armor and mr.

...And he still is under 50% winrate

Stop acting like a one time Zhonyas isn't strong, especially when you can build it into a full one later.

AD hitting like a truck? You are acting like everyone losing their MR Runes isn't a thing. One misstep and you lose the trade too, Shield or not. AP hits like a truck too.

And it's not like that you can't harass and shove in an Assassin that's only waveclear is his W, which is also his trading tool, on a 22sec CD as a low CD AP champ too.

assassins class overall wasnt that good , zed actually was decent , his kit makes that he can adapt to almost any situation , he can be full assassin one shot mode , he can be a split push strong 1v1 threat just by building things like , he can even be a decent teamfighter , or just waveclear peacefuly in one combo when he is behind . And AD items variety adds to his versatility . He might not have been the strongest champ in the last months but was still great in solo Q , and new season will probably just make him busted , tho he isnt the only champ in this situation and since every champ is dealing too much dmges , ppl forget about him so once again as i said , another reason for his bann rate drop , right now if you are decent on him , i recommend you to spam it for a while , not banned that much , really busted , can be good pretty much everytime and in a meta were one shots are evrywhere , having an ult like zed's ult and a such mobility makes it a great pick .

yup , you're kinda right , but zed can abuse it even more since he in fact he can do lots of things already such as waveclearing , things that kha or shaco cant do , also kha mobility is all about his E , but if he doesnt get a kill he wont reset and be in a bad position even if he can go stealth , shaco is pretty safe but his dmges his all about that first auto into E + tiamat ( or hydra ) , and if it isnt enough , yeah he can escape but he wont do much more than this in the end he survives ... yeah its cool ? but not that useful . Zed can go in , he has really low cd so he can pretty much go in with ult do some burst on a guy , miss shurikens so he tp back to safety with his R not taking any dmges , and he can Q again before R exploses , that is you are free to do some mistakes as zed and it might not just not be punished , but even beeing punishing for your ennemy ! His split push is really strong and he can 1v1 most of bruisers to be honest ... the thing is he can adapt his build into every situation since the only item he needs to have most of his burst is duskblade ! and since once again there is a lot of options in ad itemization its a champ that will never be useless , unlike a shaco or a kha , that ususaly whenever they're behind , wont do a whole lot .

For that time they could kill you via a good all in or a gank. People die before level 6 as well.
