I clearly need help understanding the new meta
Ok so 4k+ games played, a poor amount of ranked, and a ton of hours worth of videos of tips/tricks/guides/plays later and I assumed I was an ok player. totally wrong now. I try to play mages often but this new marksman meta is just infuriating beyond words. Though I will still try to say them anyways!
How is it that Jax with just rageblade / Trinity can deal so much damage in so short a time? It's disgusting. If he catches your ADC out you can almost guarantee to see the respawn timer and a few angry words. Yasuo is still, in my opinion, one of the most cancerous champions to date. I know there are ways to beat him but its nigh impossible if he gets rolling. His windwall might not block movement in or around it but it blocks anything so much as sneezed his way. Giant rocket? Stopped. Tahm Kench tongue? Stopped. Everything stopped always forever. Why hasn't Anivia wall been updated to do more than just block your teammates in with the enemy team? It can't stop projectiles. It can't absorb damage. It serves no purpose beyond a momentary respite. Yet we all see Yasuo wall come out at the drop of a dime and stop the killing blow from every gracing the depths of his skull because the hit box of it is gargantuan. On another note, why can we not shoot through the back?
Why are all these tanky items so game breaking to the assassins crew. Even burst Mages feel the pain of a fed tank who STILL out-guns them every time with the plethora of extra garbage heaped onto every item. Like Dead mans plate. Bonus movement speed, extra on hit, and a slow. Do you want my credit card number and my anal virginity too? You're going to take them anyways. The only solution is high mobility escape artists and even then it is no guarantee of survival.
Vayne is another issue i've come across a bout a thousand too many times. Firecannon and Shiv stack? Why. Why the hell is that even allowed. Things weren't bad enough as it is so we gave an already really good pub stomper the means to rise to godhood via 2 items that don't actually add any attack damage? Every ADC is a walking crit machine dealing out enough pain to put War veterans to shame. Where is the love for mages? How many new items did we get to make up for this. Player skill is always brought to light when stuff like this happens. Oh blank is really OP right now, please nerf. "Get better, shitlord." has always been a spot on response from the people_ playing _ said garbage. The response to this idea isn't or shouldn't be reliant on how good I am as a player entirely. What if, maybe, just maybe, there really is a huge problem with unskilled one-click combo characters being far too strong?
Help me understand because being salty isn't the answer.
TL;DR I'm super frustrated and grouchy so losings driving me crazy
