I've had it with playing Support in this patch
I honestly, I think imma just play Overwatch, and more overwatch now, because even though I think Overwatch needs balances across the board, I've had it with mages.
I main thresh, who's uses spells and skillshots to peel for his adc and make plays. Thresh is trash 100% right now. Ok, yes he's still playable, but following up on any hook is god damn suicide, these protobelts, and high damages means you're probably dead the moment you pressed q a second time. I honest to god was too scared on any initiation because velkoz and his buddy malazhar would wipe me off the face of the earth if I hooked an adc, on the other mages, or just looked in the general direction of them. Say what you will about assassins playing safe, at least I could play around an assassin, zed has to be somewhere in hook range to do damage, or he's just poking. These god damn mages have so many god damn safety nets it's a Ronald McDonald playhouse.
Let's look at some of the worst cases.
Malzahar, the most horrid, toxic offender. SPELL SHIELD, UP FASTER THAN YAS'S FLOW, BETTER THAN YAS FLOW, BUILT IN MORG SHIELD, VOILDING WALLS THAT PREVENT SKILLSHOTS, POINT AND CLICK ULT THATS STUPID SAFE THANKS TO THE RANGE AND PASSIVE, SILENCES, GOD I HATE THIS CHAMPION.
Velkoz, the knock up is absurd with his kit now doing the ABSURDDDDd amount of damage it does, specifically the passive and ult. He no longer has a weakness to getting close up, since hey look, dash. Since his spells are long range as fuck, and with a dash, I seriously have no god damn way to handle this guy in teamfights.
Brand, Stuns, 20% max health damage, combos, aoe damage, almost wants me to get up close so he can smash his face on the keyboard, AND HEY LLOOK IM FUCKING DEAD EVEN THOUGH I HAVE LOCKET, CRUCIBLE AND FACE ALL POPPED.
Annie, so OH BOY I GET DAMAGE REDUCTION WITH A MANA COST OF 20, AND AN ULT THAT DOES ALL THE WORK FOR ME, THAT ALSO TANKS GUESS WHAT, SKILLSHOTS.
Veigar, cage, on the way to q, stunned, dead.
The list goes on, and I have found no way to outplay a team with two or more mages, these guys are stupid strong with so many safe ways to poke, its so much smarter to play Blitzcrank, he hooks a mage, they're in your space now, they die. Thresh brings himself, and a buddy along, two people, no matter how tanky, can stand up to these ridiclous god damn mages for more than two seconds.
I hate Zed, Leblanc and Talon, but at least they got close to your adc, to your allies. Mages are sitting there, in the backest of backlines, spamming abilities, and even though people say mana regen was a nerf, they never seem to run out of it, what with base damages so god damn high, they just buy a tear, and its even more gold efficient with all the flat mana out there from other items.
I do think I'll start playing League again, but only when these mages turn into our jugs, where theres only two that are viable
