This game just outright isnt fun anymore.

#1 its too snowbally, EVERY game is onesided and clearly decided by 10mins. #2 Make Platinum+ players wait longer for games, idc how long I have to wait, I don't want silver teammates or opponents, all it does is magnify the fact that the game is too snowball.

I haven't enjoyed a single match since this patch hit.

I just don't get why ADCs have to build two resistance items to not get 1 shot by supports now.

I still don't understand why ADCs can build 2 damage items and 3 shot a tank.

You're responding to a thread about 2 item adc three shotting a tank, so isn't this the assumption?

Yeah? How many are damage items?

Please send me a clip of a two-item ADC killing a full-fledged tank (one that is on par with the ADC) in three shots.

tanks get destroyed by adcs for example 600 armor malphite gets wrecked by lucian with no last whisper

please send a video of that happening please, with the ADC and Tank having equal resources.

Try it out yourself.

Pick Ezreal, charge Muramana, buy triforce, your Q now does 1/6 of a tank HP and literally 3-shots a midlaner or enemy ADC.

This is a funny statement "with the ADC and Tank having equal resources". That almost never happens. Play a tank support. Game is over many times before you can complete a 3rd item. Meanwhile, both ADC's will be working on their 4th or 5th. Most tanks (a few can) are not able to snowball like ADC's.

Maybe tanks can't snowball as hard as carries, but their items are way cheaper.

Actually AD items are some of the cheapest in game, especially the early damage spike items.

item 3031 (3400)item 3087 (2600) item 3094 (2600) item 3072 (3700) item 3025 (2700) item 3194 (2800) item 3065 (2800) item 3190 (2200) item 3075 (2900)

I guess I can agree with you on energized items, but items with big stats like IE and BT cost a lot of gold.

item 1036 10 AD : 350 G item 1029 15 Armor : 300 G

Tell me more about the "cheapest items in the game"

Glamorous Rammus1 votes

Static Shiv is dirt cheap and helps clear waves so fast that it pays for itself. B.F. Sword is 300 gold more than Bramble Vest- but someone building B.F. Sword can get earn 1,300 much quicker than someone who's building Bramble can earn 1,000.

In fact: an ADC can prepare to penetrate armor quicker than tanks can build it. ADCs get: item 3034 is 1,000 for 10 AD and up to +10% bonus damage item 3134 is 1,100 for 25 AD and 15 Lethality item 3035 is 1,300 for 10 AD and 35% Armor Pen.

Tanks get: item 1031 is 800 and provides nothing but Armor item 3024 is 900 and provides only 20 Armor item 3082 is 1,000 for 40 Armor and Cold Steel item 3076 is 1,000 for 35 Armor and 15 damage reflected

Zetsü1 votes

You realize Malphite will single handedly 80% a Lucian with his base damage on his combo + one auto attack right? Also 600 armor doesn't actually tank much more than 450. Armor value scales down exponentially as you stack it, just adding that on.

Cuz you have a support too and building Maw and GA while still dealing 700 + per crit by standing still and rightclick shouldn't be a viable option.

Zetsü1 votes

It isn't healthy to take one quick trade in the first 5 minutes and be at death percentage by your next microspacing error to itemless champions. If you think that's how early game should play out, you're insane.

You getting silver players in ranked queues? Strange. If you're talking about norms, your ranked mmr has literally nothing to do with norms. In normal, you are not plat. And they are not silver. You each have your own normal mmr that are about the same.

AP Amumu Main1 votes

That is not the problem, the problem is regardless how the system works its very bad at actually giving you a fair game in normals, lets say that person plays rank and is diamond and now queue up for normal and boom you have 4 silvers 1 diamond that diamond carries the weight of 4 additional ppl lets say by default it feels god awful I am hating normals more and more. When I just op.gg and practically can decide if game is over in loading screen by who has higher SKILLED (MMR) players.

Flawless Fetus1 votes

You're right, but the system is working as intended. Making plat+ players wait for longer queus wont help anything. Since the system is working exactly how it's supposed to. It's silly, I agree. Just like how solo/duo and flex mmr are different. I was diamond in solo duo, then I ran throw flex after starting in low gold. Lol.

Personally, I'm having a ton of fun, but if you're not, you can always take a break from League and come back when preseason is done and things have settled a bit. Just remember, League is a game, and the point of a game is having fun, so if you aren't having fun maybe it's time to call it quits.

Fairyfleur4 votes

I think I've enjoyed every single or nearly every single match I've played recently, and even I'm in favor of longer games.

Alimentateur3 votes

How i feel about this Game: -levels up and sees that he has to play 12 matches for blue essence 12 toxic tilting and full of raging smurfs which dont surrender so games easily last 20-50min up to 7h of sitting through the worst of the community for a merely 500blue essence

i wanna kill myself

FeederCricket3 votes

Matchmaking is dreadful, everything kills you just by getting into your vision, games are decided in the first 5 mins and then last for as long as that one team mate and his buddy refuse to give up.

Worst pre-season?

notice me Sin pi3 votes

everything ends in 10min instead of 20min so players should be doing more queues if they play the same amount of time as before. And yet plat+ players find themselves waiting a lot longer than before. With that said, u know players are leaving league as of now.

Wimbledofy2 votes

Like other peopel said, are you talking about for norms or ranked games. If you are talking about normals, I definitely don't want longer queue times.

Adahii1 votes

The game is still unbalanced because Riot seems to still be working some things out. BUT...Funny story that just happened and that I'm mad about: I have a LeaverBuster and I waited a total of 40 minutes because I dodged a couple times as well. After those 40 minutes, the LeaverBuster started the 20 minutes again. Amumu [sg-ahri-1]

Eric Senpai1 votes

My normal games are as competitive, if not more so than my ranked games. Literally everyone is plat-masters, if i want a chill game I play ranked.

d0riyah1 votes

Both these points are true. I died once at mid and their enemy mid laner got 2 more kills and they took mid lane and everything fell apart at like 12 minutes. Also I'm suddenly getting pared with silvers and golds since this update.

Doesn't mean I had fun, or couldn't tell that the game was already over. As early as 5-10 mins into it.

Everyone's to squishy, I die way too quickly even when fed and full tank. There's not time to think or strategize because everyone's getting bursted. I think that's the root of preseason's problems. But it's preseason, so I wouldn't get too worked up about it.

Yes it has, confirming there's an issue but they can't figure where and why. Anyway techs are at work on it

and yet they let the game continue on with this pre-season patch knowing full well it makes the game harder to play an even less fun let alone impossible to fairly get proper ranking in time for the new season...

LightIsMyPath1 votes

Well the alternative is shut the server down until it's solved... I'd rather take a bet hoping to don't experience the spike than don't play at all..

they can roll back the entire pre-season patch actually. They just wouldn't want to do it because ... $$$ aka the return of IP and honestly a far more fair in game currency program. cough cough Orange Essence.

hi im seb1 votes

since 7.22 is live I've stepped away from Ranked Play and went more into a casual mode. Atm i cant play the game competiively. this may allow me to have fun in normals but like that i wont be playing the game as much in the future as i used to

Swittz1 votes

Nah I love it. I think people who play well should be able to snowball an entire game and that's a given. Why don't you want to play against players who are more skilled than you? It's a great opportunity to learn from your mistakes and see what makes the other player BETTER. I personally want to play against diamond, master and challenger to have a chance to improve myself.

PhearBunny1 votes

Calm down guy. I don't mind playing with anything plat quality or higher. I do mind playing with Gold and sub-gold quality players, whether theyre on my team or not.

Its not fun to get steamrolled because you have the Silver quality player. Its not fun to steamroll, because youre feeding off a silver qualirt player. Either way its not fun.

And getting a kill doesn't always entail "playing well". Maybe your jungler picked a diver, and his jungler picked a late game jungler that isn't wonderful for ganks. He dies under his own tower. Skill or lack of skill had nothing to do with it, some situations are just unavoidable and need to be dealt with after the fact. This patch removes the capability to do anything after such a scenario takes place. Its cancerous. Pro playes are routinely going 0-5, or worse, because a death, avoidable or not, isn't really possible to recover from without pure dumb luck.

monkeysoldier181 votes

Definitely agree. With all this new damage, any mistakes made are magnified and returning from those is a lot harder. Turret damage and health doesn't feel the same. The game is sped up quite a bit. As it has been mentioned quite frequently, though; tis' the season of preseason. Things will just have to shake out.
