Let's Talk About the State of the Game

Let's talk about the state of the game...

Ok so I wanna say that the riot games balance team needs be replaced with competent workers who actually care about the state of the game. I also want to talk about CertainlyT and the champions that he has released.

THE PROBLEMS So what exactly is broken about the game? TOO MUCH DAMAGE and INCONSISTENT META

So right now as it is, damage takes way to much place in league of legends. Nearly every rune is meant so that you deal more damage. Why is this? Why is there 1 tankish rune along with 1 tank support rune, Yet 12/17 of the runes do some sort of damage. Many runes are completely busted and inconsistent, with obviously dark harvest coming to mind.

Champion are seriously unbalanced at the moment, with Akali and Irelia first coming to mind. These champions for some reason have infinite healing, a thousand ways of escaping, infinite dashes, no cd and a crap ton of damage. Yet what does the balance team do? Lower Irelia's movement speed by 5. Lower the duration of the Akali shroud which i must say i approve, but it's not enough. Riot games seems not to be able to really find where the problems lie with just horrible nerfs and stupid buffs coming in every patches (I.E Pyke).

The inconsistent meta is a huge problem, with tanks being broken at the 1st 1/3 of the season, then adc and now mages dominating the matches. This not only causes and hurts the player base, but hurts pro play too. Pro play is forced to play up to 10 hours a day of league of legends just to keep up with current meta and really its hurting the scene. With meta's changing every 2 weeks, this is one of the most unstable multiplayer games i've played.

I wanna talk about this developer CertainlyT. I find that he is a huge problem for the game. Whether it be Akali being broken, Zoe 1 shotting people with her broken kit, some of the most hated champion such as yasuo were made by him. It's a sign that maybe someone needs to well.. enlighten him to the champions that he's designing. Tho i admit that there are a few (yet still cancerous) champions that he made such as Thresh.

SOLUTIONS: During preseason i would focus on lowering the damage and scaling of champions such as mages. Some champions like Viktor also needs to be thrown back into the midlane. I would also focus on lowering the damage of runes and maybe work on making a pure tank focused rune. I would talk to the community and see really what problems should be focused on. Instead of releasing updates every 2 weeks, i would release them every 3-4 weeks in order to set some normality to the game.

OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE GAME: So one problem I have is understanding the real role of bruisers. They seem to me to be either really broken, or really bad. Their kits are the most expensive in the game but they're also pretty useless (unless you're playing a champ like kled) in the top lane because they have very little map presence. Ever since the TP nerfs, they've been really useless in my matches with no real impact until the late game. I think that riot games needs to take a look at bruisers, their items and their runes in order to make a real balanced class.

I also wanted to talk about toxicity and the honor system. At this point there is no real incentive to be kind and honorable to your teammates. The rewards are so stretched, little and far apart that no one really cares about the honor system. For those who are dishonorable, there is no point in reforming. It takes up to 16 weeks minimum to get back to rank 2, honor which is too long and requires to many hours. The banning system right now seems not to be able to detect many phrases and words (I.E saying that "you're the worst players in the game"). Many phrases such as these will not get you punished at all. I would also like to ask why there isnt a option in the settings to turn off chat completely. This would help people who tilt easily to really not be toxic.

The map also has a huge problem in my opinion, with specifically top and bottom favoring 1 side. Of Course what i'm talking about is Tri-bush. It seems whoever is on the side of tri-bush is a thousand times more prone to ganks, with it being almost a guaranteed successful gank if you take that path. The tri bush needs to be shifted a little ways from lane to give the laners a chance to spot the ganker when he's coming in.

CONCLUSION So I don't really want anyone fired. I want better communication between balance teams and the community. I want there to be systems to promote good teamwork and a fair honor system. I want a stable game where I can play and not feel like i'm getting cancer. I just want a fun game and balanced game.
