S10 state of the game
I will retract my words from several months ago. I was saying that the game will be worse than S9. It isn't, S10 is better than S9. Don't get me wrong, the game is still a oneshotty shithole with very little in common with strategy but at least it isn't as bad as it was in S9.
Let's start from the drakes. Mountain drake is insane. I love it. Ocean is good on tanks so I still respect it. Cloud is weird but fine. The only one that I have issues with is Infernal as always. I dislike the idea of a drake granting me with more damage. I would prefer it to give me something different. Or if it has to give me dmg, then I would prefer to get % dmg to minions or something like that. I don't need more damage that also scales with penetration so well that with 2 infernals I can oneshot tanks. Only this one drake should be changed in my opinion. Also the most useful and fun drake is probably Mountain.
The new map is actually not that bad. I dislike the ocean map with so many bushes that I don't have enough wards to control it at all, even if I do ward a lot. The rest of them are fine tho. Infernal map makes it into more of an open fight and transition through red straight into river really helps. Cloud map is interesting as well. Mountain map has that huge anoying wall but it still isn't bad.
Finally the champions. I think Sett's shield is too huge and his interaction with drakes makes him too strong at times. There are builds that make him almost immortal with the right drakes so it is kinda unfair. Doing damage and shielding at the same time is something that was avoided during the creation of other champions like for example Riven, because it is too strong. I don't know when, but Riot forgot about that and now we have Neeko, Sett and other characters that shield and do damage with the same ability.
Aphelios is kinda too strong still. I mainly mean his turrets. They deal some crazy damage while he can still aa you to death. I don't need him harshly nerfed, because he has a lot of weaknesses but I would like the turrets to hit for less, since that is the only unfair mechanic that he has.
Overall, S9 was 2/10. S10 for now is 4/10, lets see if it drops to 3 or rises to 5. Knowing Riot it should drop but I was wrong before when I said that this season will be worse than S9. I can be wrong again.
The last matter is League of Runeterra. The game is fine. I would only want more counters for some mechanics in it, because there are many things that can be abused atm. I know that the game is new, so count it as feedback, not a critique.
