Riot really just made TFT and ARAM the only enjoyable gamemodes

The way Riot has been balancing they just make summoners rift even less enjoyable every patch. I thought this new patch was going to be extremely fun because of the fluidity of the map and how it changes with each dragon type. The extra bushes were what really pulled me in to try and play again.

TLDR: We had a DC annie and a Darius who gave up on his 3rd death but our Jarven camped bot for dragons and their jungler camped mid and top to get their laners ahead. Once we got mountain dragon soul we could ignore the fed Katarina and steamroll them into their nexus

But of course they just made the game 10x snowbally as before. The extra importance to dragon just gutted the amount of enjoyment summoners rift had. I had a game where I was playing Janna one of the squishiest champs in the game, the only sort of defense i had was item 3050 but when we got mountain dragon soul i felt unkillable. I would bravely go into the enemy jungle and get as many deep wards as i would please and didnt have to worry about the enemy killing me cause of the mountain shield buff

that game was one of the numbest victories i ever felt

the enemy Katarina was a MONSTER that game, she got 3 kills and a free lane (our Annie dc'ed for a few mins) and our Darius gave up after his 3rd death so we were feeling pretty low the entire game. the only thing we had going for ourselves was our JarvanIV who kept ganking bot side every time dragon came up while the enemy jungler camped top. then as soon as we got mountain soul the game just became a stomp for us. Katarina had EVERYTHING going for her, she was the most dangerous person on the enemy team who could 1 shot any of us other than JarvanIV but that soul just made her neglectable, imagine a fed Katarina being neglectable to a Janna and Caitlyn

Summoners Rift just went from an assassin 1-shot fest to a "whoever gets dragon soul just gets a free game" and i have no clue whats worse.

i use to enjoy jungling, even before when everyone was calling it the worst place to play, but now its just "as soon as you get behind youll never be relevant again" and i no longer find it enjoyable for losing the entire game for a missed gromp and skuttle rotation while i was ganking top

at least in ARAM i can do dumb stuff like dark harvest Ornn or AP Sejuani and still have a chance of winning

and TFT is chill af so i dont care if i win or lose

Summoners rift is just no longer enjoyable for me at this point. Until they address the immense snowball problem and actually balance their game so not everyone just 1 shots everyone into oblivion, SR will just be a complete cesspool of cancer and despair

Even then ARAM does get pretty bullshit at times, when you're an assassin vs tanks or when you're melee vs 5 ranged champs with CC and poke.

Let's be real. TFT is only played because they offer rewards

Yeah the exp buffs to solo lanes and nerfs to jungle and duo, and the dragon changes have brought SR back to the snowball days of LOL before season 1.

TT was the last gamemode I enjoyed. I pretty much play the same 3-4 champs, so I don't like ARAM and TFT doesn't feel like a real game mode.

Guess I gotta go play DOTA or something.
