League is really really harming me I don't know what the fuck happened i just can't play the game anymore

this is me in season 7 https://i.gyazo.com/2af558cd3ec9626ee8445fdffa1f7602.png https://i.gyazo.com/824d0126f0270f8b14f8fd0a1e142752.png

this is me in season 8

everytime i try to play a bruiser my fcking laning phase is either ruined by the jungler, or by 2nd wind+boneplate everytime i try to play a bruiser i can't teamfight at all, literally everyone kills me my bot lane has all the impact of the game that i don't with a bruiser because I CAN'T, MOVE, AT ALL

it came to the point that the game forced me into a playstyle that i **ing hate which is protecting the ad carry, ganking the ad carry, praising the ad carry and what a fcking surprise https://i.gyazo.com/8c151c410fc1beb60b1b63a1ce281c5f.png

I'M ABLE TO WIN, by playing sion ultying bot lane at lvl 6 and just following my adc 24/7

i just can't manage to climb with bruisers like darius or renekton, i don't know what i'm doing wrong and it tilts me so fcking hard to the point that it's impacting my IRL life, because in every game i ask myself "what should i have done better in this game" and no fucking answer comes to my mind , so i don't know what i'm doing wrong

why in every season i hit master tier like 5 times in a row, i have a screenshot for all those times but in this season after i reached challenger with Morde, i got instantly demoted to diamond2 by only playing renekton and darius and can't climb with them anymore.

i can remember last season like yesterday, i was so good at renekton i literally mastered all the animation cancelling you can do with him and can consistently do them but from one season to an other, i went from 66% win rate to 40% win rate, what the fuck am i doing that is wrong?

i try to bully toplane but i get ganked once i'm lvl 6 or 7 laning phase ends, bot lane rotates top because they took tower, doesn't matter if it's their bot lane or my bot lane

i'm forced to go bot, then don't have a single impact on what will happen over the game tanks tank more damage than me, and they can cc more, and i don't do anything because i'm melee and i don't have a tank lvl of tankiness

and the worst part of season 8 is conqueror that didn't fixe ANYTHING

"hey guys bruisers are having troubles in high elo and competitive" "give them a keystone that forces them to side lane and never teamfight"

conqueror renekton got smashed by ornn in lck nobody gives a fuck about conqueror in competitive, it's the same shit over and over again you know i had a lot of scrims with my team this week, wanna know what i played?

not allowed to play anything but Sion, which sane master tier team is going to let you play bruisers LOL if they ban sion? gnar or camille because why would you ever play anything else

and then the balance team lets camille be the most broken bruiser in competitive for 5 months straight Gnar is not going to get nerfed because of "regional bias" cuz 8.6 is only being played on few regions, but Galio got nerfed in 8.5, and who is being played in 8.6 has WAY LESS PRESENCE AND WIN RATE THAN GNAR and is getting gutted in next patch you can be sure that after next patch galio won't be touched ever again, just like when karthus had his ult cd going to 200 sec

this season is harming me, because i don't know if i'm playing bad or if the game is legit garbage, not a single game goes without me wanting to open at 10 min this is what this season is doing to me i never wanted to open before, i never opened in my life, but i just can't when i see enemy jungler ruining my lane, my bot lane losing and enemy bot lane showing up at 8 min top lane and essentially removing me from the game and every game goes with me trying to figure out what the fuck is the thing that i'm doing wrong

Maybe you are bad at the game and you only hit masters 5 times out of pure luck and all the tank players and adc players are better and outplay you with interactive mechanics meanwhile you play broken shit like Renekton and Darius.

I'm beeing sarcastic. Fuck riot Games.Fuck Tanks and every adc not named Jhin and Draven.

Meta shift is a thing. Renek is not as good as he was in S7 and Darius i do not know much about because i dont play that POS, but i think hes still strong.

Seems a little unfair that your using over 100 games for season 7 on daruis, and just a little over 10 for season 8. Results won't be that accurate if the numbers differ that much.

Eh, I don't play top but I'd assume playstyles have changed.

As a jungler for example playing to solo carry is much much harder and probably not viable unless you're smurfing.

There are still people who hit high elo playing mostly Renekton like Romanium for example. I'm sure he'd be knowledgable on this subject. My friend hit plat recently with a 57% w/r over 58 games on Renek and 62% w/r over 42 games on Darius, so it's certainly doable.

Riot for some reason doesn't understand the concept of "stone-walling a lane"

Gnar, Ornn, Malphite, Maokai coupled with Boneplating and Second wind are stone-walling lanes like there is no tomorrow. It makes it so you have to be A LOT better than them to actually win the laning phase. It's not that they auto-win but what they do is that they stop you from winning, which is one of the things that makes top shitty.

As soon as you try to engage on them they press 2 buttons, out damage you (since they heal back up with their runes) and then you just sit back and continue to farm until laning phase is over.

Or the second scenario takes place, you engage and come ahead of the trade but unfortunately the jungler is here because you aren't under your turret and the enemy stone-waller activates his outplay button (reliable cc) and you're dead.

Sion and Camille aren't the best at stone-walling, their numbers are just overtuned (Maybe nerfing Sions waveclear is a way to approach him and that is being done next patch so....)

For this to be fixed, Riot needs to actually address the problem directly. Stop trying to make a Keystone that counters tanks, if tanks are a problem then NERF TANKS. If the runes are a problem then NERF THE RUNES, how retarted is to make runes that counter other runes. If champions just cannot be balanced wthout them stone-walling lanes (Gnar) then just make them unviable. Like you made Evelynn unviable because her stun was too problematic, just like you made Malzahar unviable because his kit is legit cancer and at this point just reverting him is I think a better idea than to balance this current mess of a champion. If the jungler is making interaction in laning phase nigh undoable then NERF THE JUNGLE

I don't know why they love temporary solutions to permanent problems so much. Wanna know the fiesta they created last time because of this philosophy? Fiora item 3076

A counter to a counter is retarted

If Fiora counters tanks and she is too good at doing it then NERF FIORA Don't add a counter for tanks to counter Fiora that is suppose to counter them.

The same shit is happening with Conq (The rune still needs to stay because it's the closes thing Bruisers get compared to FoB). Making it a counter for tanks is the problem.

Whats next? After buffing Conq to insane levels we are going to give tanks an item that reduces incoming true damage by 50% or what?

The same shit also with shields and Irelias shield busting mechanic, we don't need this stupid mechanic. If shields are too strong then NERF SHIELDS.

Coming back to your concern, no you aren't playing 20% WR worse than last season. The meta might have shifted but nobody goes from 65% to 43% WR in one patch because of a meta shift. Believe it or not. I had a higher winrate with the 47% WR GP in season 7 ardent meta than this stupid number 1 top laner GP we have right now.

I don't know what the hell the rune rework did to fuck up the game in this scale but holy fucking christ this mid season patch better fixes some things.
