How is this fun? How is this entertaining gameplay? It's just stat checking. We might as well be playing an MMO. How the hell is redemption still in this game, are you serious? Do you people on the balance team not play the game? Or do you think this style of pure stat checking is the way the game should be played where supports serve as an extra hp bar for the team.
Wasn't everyone just complaining about how ADCs were getting dumpstered for most of the season?
I haven't played LoL consistently for awhile, so I'm just wondering.
even as a support main, I hate those items, because I literally need to build them every game and there's no room for any other items because you don't get that much gold or the game is over...
Even with all this shit, nobody plays support
Damage is so op that normal HP bars don't mean shit, and shields are so op that when they're active damage barely even gets to the hp bar. Why not nerf em both, so Health bars can mean something again. Or maybe just nerf the shields but give everyone better hp scaling into late game.
What do you propose?
Redemption isn't just a flat heal; Riot tried to involve some prediction skills, but I still agree that it's unfun to play against (and same with 
).
I'm not sure shields qualify as stat checks. Stat checks are things such as Irelia's stun (more HP than you? Stun), Lethality (bonus armor? Not anymore), Mundo's kit (less HP, more damage, increased regen), etc. A shield is typically a clutch save that pads your health bar.
I honestly had a lot more fun when ADCs (aside from Varus MF and Jhin who should have gotten nerfed to be on par with the other ADCs in trash tier) were garbage.
Getting two shot because the ADC right clicked on you isn't at all fun. If they aren't going to get damage nerfs they should be 100-0'd by a stiff breeze.
