Damage is too high, and the game isn't fun anymore.

Now, this isn't really a topic about balance. It's the same across the board, so nothing has become dominant. But what has become dominant is toxicity. And I think it has everything to do with how high damage has gotten this preseason. Champions are getting deleted so quickly that they can't react, even when they're ahead, and that never feels good. Hell, I had a match as Darius against DrMundo, and even though we're both supposed to be tanky champions, could kill eachother in just a few hits. The pressure of the game has become astronomical, and it's almost impossible for most people to relax. Nobody has fun anymore. It's just "you're not feeding" or "you're human trash." No matter how friendly I try to be, everyone is either yelling at somebody or not saying a word. Losses feel terrible because everyone on your team will hate everyone else, and wins feel terrible because it was so stressful to achieve that it loses it's significance.

I've found I don't even want to play matches anymore, because ever since the preseason hit every game is just 30 minutes of stress and people being mad. If it was a matter of balance, I would stick it out - those always resolve. But this is a very, very, very negative direction for the game as a whole.

You guys need to start learning to importance of split pushing. That 15-2 Darius can't do anything if he's busy chasing you all over the map trying to shove back lanes.

the s6 changes to turrets/minions/passive gold increase is to help early-game strategy, it makes sense. s5 meta had a slow early-game, it lacked strategy that only LCS teams can scarcely implement. League has to adapt in gameplay, it cant stay like s1, changes are good.

Reasons why game feels faster/snowbally: first of all we havent adapted to these changes yet, resulting in wonky/fast paced/snowbally games.

finally, we arent gona miss you, League is recuriting more new players than veterans are quitting, nobody cares if you quit, League is here to stay, that's why it made s6 changes

...Really? My experience has been tanks are too oppressive. Earlier, I had a 4 tank team and we won, and our non-tank was the worst.
