Recently, i haven't been playing...
Its not for any particular reason involving the game, namely my internet doesn't work well enough, i work now and such. But i'v found myself reading the board's and just thinking "Hmm, didn't i post about this issue when it started?" and then i don't want to play as much.
That issue being Support's constant influx of buffs and items, along with ADC's continuing to dominate and being the main focus of a game all on their own. It's no secret that a bad ADC on your team and the ADC on the enemy team is even slightly better than yours usually results in a loss, it's no secret that whoever has the most map pressure botlane is the one that most often wins. Basically if you focus entirely on your ADC, your chances of winning go through the roof. Now it's not just Supports babysitting them, it's everyone ad frankly i'v had enough. This started last year and is still going on, yet no one has done anything except make it worse.
ADC's almost never get punished for being to strong, yet any time someone complains about ADC's being to weak it's near instantaneous that whatever the cause is gets nerfed promptly and pretty dang harshly. You see, AD itemization is pretty diverse, nothing is ever preventing an ADC from using an item that isn't meant for them, and their range usually means they have an inherent advantage over any melee that wants to use that item. This is proved mostly by the fact if you take an ADC anywhere against someone with LESS Range, they'll probably force their opponent to play really passively until they get a gank or lane phase is over, range is strong guys and i'v been saying this since preseason.
Now on to Supports, while, yes, the role wasn't very fun, it doesn't really have much to do with Items or Stats. The champion pool is bad not the items, atleast not anymore, the buffs should have stopped at the inclusion of items such as Redemption(which is still broken to this day 1 year later) and the adjustment of their starting items. But it didn't, they continue to not only make ADC's even stronger but make themselves even more powerful, Janna and supports of the like have been strong for months and items such as Ardent sensor have as well it just took everyone awhile to catch on, Pants Are Dragon for example has been playing Janna for most of this season and staying deep into Challenger when he does, she's been broken, it didn't start now. In terms of Champions, Support champs such as Sona, Lulu, Soraka, Janna ect are really not that fun to play, Heal Bot's aren't fun and a support should be able to do just as much playmaking as anyone else, BUT NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR ITEMS, the champion needs the power themselves.
Champions are what make the items, items don't make champions right riot?
In conclusion i think it's about time that ADC's and Support's have their CHAMPIONS changed to be less Game-Breaking whenever something is introduced, ADC's are very well known by now for breaking item's that aren't intended for them. Supports need to be MADE to be good, not made good by their items and these buffs/changes with both need to stop because it's gotten way out of hand and pushed many MANY people's champion pools out of the meta. In addition, Buffing ADC"s and Supports shouldn't be the automatic response to anything that's to strong, DO NOT BUFF ADC"S BECAUSE TANKS ARE STRONG! Nerf the tanks, keep the ADC's and Supports where they are so we don't have a problem later.
My champion pool has basically been gone for the last couple of months, i can't play most of my Tops and almost all of my Mids. In Mid-Lane i played Assassins, such as Katarina or Ekko plus i love syndra, but because its near impossible to actually kill an ADC when they heal/sheild for almost double their health i can't play either of those assassins. In top lane i played Juggernauts, my go to's were Yorick and Illaoi, but both of them kind of don't feel useful when an ADC shreds you for your whole bar in less than 3 seconds before you can even touch them.
I never said i quit but the way the game has been these last few month's made me quit, i refuse to play competitively anymore because if i'm not an ADC or Support, the game has nothing to do with me.
