I was watching an old LCK season 5 game yesterday
Enemy ziggs has 4 and half items
lands Q. does like. 20-30% of someone health. he has to use two on minion waves. towers had shields and lasers. the game was actually a moba. not a brawler thats about dog piling on people as scarra said it.
right now. its too easy to clear minions. minion push is random and weird. it used to be consistent. towers are too weak. base towers are even weaker. laser towers are missed in the nexus and inhib turrets
hard to take baron that made you do some good decisions at first was better for the game. dragons that were a small incentive but worthwhile and not RNG. were better for the game
games used to last 30-40 minutes. sometimes 50. 75% of my games. end around 25 minutes. like literally end then. some go beyond 30. some. and that isn't just me. thats all ELOs if you look up statistics.
the game isn't a MOBA anymore. its a high damage brawler. season 4. and somewhat season 5. were the perfect time. because the game was about strategic choices. take tower. or get kills. or get baron.
nowdays because of how fast movement speed is and damage is and sustain is people have no problem just doing all 3 and ending game immediately at 20 minutes with a tower dive since even a squishy with a shield can tank turrets
for those that didn't play the game then. it wasn't perfect. but. here is the summ up of it. people died slower. squishies and tanks alike. nobody did this much damage before. even if some had higher numbers. runes and masteries were early game help. they gave you near nothing after lane phase.
meanwhile now a champion walks up to you with a long sword or a dorans ring. lands a combo ignite auto and your dead. who needs level 6 or items anyway? literally every fucking thing kills you instantly.
damage in this game has . has to be reduced. by 25-30 percent. thats how much they need to reduce it. not nerf this by 5 damage and nerf that by 5 ad or that by 10 ap. that all culminates to like negligible numbers at end of the day
