I dont like the new Patch, the "new Champions", the "new Items" do you?
OR: lets tilt after 10 games playing the new Patch.
First of all: this isnt a mimimi text (well actually at some location it might sound like on of those but that was not the intention) this text is more to entertain (and please dont complain about misspelling, im german and i did never learn english, just picked it up while watching movies and stuff) For me as a casual Player i loved how balanced this game was! Sometimes Champions got buffed a bit to hard, then they got banned every game (Hello Ryze, Elise ect :>), and still if these champions got into the game you would still be able to win the game. Well, that changed. To Name the Problem: Juggernaults. I played 10 Games today, some on a higher Ranked account 2 and i did never play one of those new champs (only the last one i played skarner, ill get to that later) because i dont main any of them and my thoughts: well i know my old champions and if he plays Darius Top or Skarner or Mordekaiser Bot (Riot we realy need to talk about this but that needs an extra topic) well i dont think hell be experianced and i can win. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH...ähm...yeah....that...was...well...i mean....ok..(another fillword)...sigh...you see: i dont know what i should say about these new champions...ohh wait: now i know: They are overpowered, and not that normal kind of op, that kind that makes you role your head on the table when you die first, and after the game you get a headache because of 2 different reasons:
- you got stomped, you dont know why, you only know you where dead every 2 seconds and you couldnt kill anything this game
- you smached your head into (yes into) your table because you tilt...realy hard
I'll share some of the situations i run into today:
- Irelia Top (Me) vs Darius This was my first experiance with the new Darius. Truth be told: I play a lot of Irelia and whenever i got matched against a Darius i just stomped him into the ground. Today: i got stomped... hard...realy hard....beyond the ground right into the middle of the core of the earth. I doublejungled with my jungler the first two camps so be both got level 2, i had a dorians blade and 5 pots to go into the lane, darius did just sit in lane had a dorians blade and 1 pot, i was ahead in exp. 3 Days ago that would be the game for Darius, but today well...let me start like this: level 2 nothing happend we both csd, he got 1 q on me (wasnt that much of a problem), i hit level 3 nothing happened, he hits level 3, i want to cs a rangedminion (i know its dangerous but i could q in, and q out so i did it), while i take the cs he gets 1aa, i q back, he walks up to me, flashs, e, aa. FIrst i was surprised, but hey, i was lower now: lets stun him trade 1 aa and run (no minions to q). what i didnt expect: he got 1 aa, w, aa, q, aa of oven tho i just hit him once and did actually everything perfect. I Flash, im realy low the stacks are ticking, i see my hp burning like never before. And i died. Just 100 to 0 with 1 rotation, without ingite, with HIM tanking minions. And from that point of the game it was a massacre. I did only cs under tower (i literally hugged my tower) and til level 6 i still died, because he got 1 e, and i was dead, under my tower him tanking towershots through my stun. Bleeding killed me again, because somehow the bleeding did more than 400 dmg. That was more than his Q (and even the q is a problem: q does heal him, does cost nothing, deals a sh** tone of dmg, and applies passive; and that it applies the passive is actually the worst thing i guess). After level 6 i died 4 more times, under my tower without a chance. Yes i know he snowballed, yes i know that i missplayed because he always managed to get the 5 stacks, BUT i dont think i could have done anything (besides the level 3, and i dont think the 1 kill was THAT important). The Point is: You get e'd, he will get 5 stacks on you because you get slowed so hard. And even if the stacks dont kill you, youll just get somped out of Lane. To summon this: Yes of course i didnt play perfect BUT no champion should be able to kill you in 1 Rotation (even tho i build armor and health) and be a Tank. And thats what Darius is atm, he is Tanky, he deals way to much dmg, he has sustain, his abilitys dont cost a lot of mana.
1 Game later i played Riven Top vs Darius Top again. And this time i killed him Level 2. I got a Gank level 3 Killed him again. Killed him again Level 4. So i was 3/0, he was 0/3. Level 7 i tried an all in (i waited because i didnt know where the jungler was and just waited for him to show on map). He was level 5 (got Level 6 in the Fight of a Minion, maybe heres my fault?). And what should i say: He killed me, and it was not even close (Yes, this time i tanked some minions 3-4, no i was not under tower, no he didnt outplay me with flash ect) he had 30% health at the end of the exchange. 3 Min later i was only able to farm under my tower because he won trades hard (Even tho i was now able to avoid 5 Stacks because of Rivens Mobility and to absorb some dmg with e). Story repeated.
Next Game i played Lee Sin jungle vs Skarner Jungle. Early Game went well, i had a lot of pressure on lanes, got some kills, he ganked 2 didnt get anything. And suddenly, the game changed, i dont know why i dont know how, but he was permanently in my jungle, and he was invincible, literally invincible. Game ended with 20/2 Skarner carring the game with only 1 Dmgitem. And i dont think it was because of the shrines because he didnt have them usually when we tried to fight him with 2 people or 3 or 4.
One of my last games i wanted to be invincible 2. I played Skarner the same way the Skarner played. And i had succes. And it was stupid how easy it was. The enemy Team could do NOTHING against me. I invaded them, i killed them. It was never easier to play a jungler. You have infinite Mana, 4 out of 6 Camps are so easy (and fast) to clear and you even get mana back while you do it. You hit your e, and the enemy is dead because you start hitting them like...well one good boxer vs me in a Fight (I dont know any Good Boxers so just feel free to fill in some names, maybe even your own because i am not physically strong :D).
I played more Games this Day. And what i wanna say is: even tho the plan of "low mobility, high dmg" is a nice concept, Riot just released the worst patch ever. These champions are not that mobile but they dont even need to be it because they just walk up to you and you die. Its like beeing a Fly against a Human with a Fly swat. To 99% i catch the Fly. Also i want to point out: it doesnt make fun anymore. Its not about losing, its about the feeling that you cant do anything and whatever you trie you lose. Yes im salty. But i just want a fair Game without overpowerd champions (i would play Dota 2 if i liked that). Maybe its only because so many new Items and Stuff did come up with this patch and nobody knows how to play around it and whats good and whats bad, but today i got a good Idea of "whats good" and i think its to good. I dont like that you have to throw everything away thats now "old" because you lose with it. Maybe Meta changes to fast for me. Maybe these champions are just totaly overpowered. Maybe i dont like the changes to randuins omen making adcs worthless, maybe i dont like it that Abyssal Scepter now costs 20 gold more (lol). I dont know. But i know that i dont want to play this game anymore. Riot usually asks players about their opinion of the content and the feeling they have about current changes, i usually am very positive now i would give Riot (in their own Graduationsystem) a "D".
