Just Curious, how much more powercreep do we need before the game is "unplayable"

Its already extremely difficult to enjoy the game unless your team gets first kill + tower + dragon...

Aka winning bot lane

Yep, because bot tower is easiest to take. Dragon is controlled by bot + jungle.

its already unplayable

It stopped being playable when the new rune system hit and turned every bruiser into a piece of horse shit

Ah, another clueless Hashinshin fanboy. Many bruisers are romping it home with great winrates and playrates (others are...sad).

Fiora and Riven are having a great time, Renekton and Irelia are in a sad spot. Bruisers on the whole are fine.

I uninstalled 2 weeks ago. It's already unplayable for me.

that's completely subjective. it's already unplayable for me and i actually uninstalled a couple of weeks ago.

i just roam the boards to have a couple of laughs on the ridiculous state of the game, and see if riot does something to fix the game.

Its already unplayable. I hate every second of every game I have played this season. I'm not exaggerating.

It's pretty unfun now. Rare are the times when I enjoy myself. I keep playing in hopes Riot wakes up and realizes what they're doing, in the vain hope that the game will become enjoyable once again like it used to be.

Riot does a lot of good things: Their art, story, and sound team are great and do wonderful work, but their balance team is not up to the same standards those guys set, and based on their decision making it seems their performance is so comparatively low by design. The biggest thing is they just seem completely incapable of retaining lessons learned from previous seasons, and keep making the same mistakes over and over. For example, with the Baron changes: They are geared towards trying to make the LCS more fast paced/action packed, but they seem to be unwilling to admit that the reason it is a farm simulator is due to the fact that every change they have made for that purpose has been in the direction of "more damage, more snowball", increasing the damage a minor lead can do. As such, the pros don't want to take the risks and are playing safer due to the huge snowball effect a minor lead can give. For whatever reason, Riot's balance team just seems completely incapable of realizing that is the problem, that every change so far is going to make them play even safer, making it just as boring, if not more so, to watch. If it isn't that they are incapable of realizing it, then it is through willful ignorance on which they are doubling down on the concepts that have brought the game into such an awful state, which is worse.

I think I hit my wall I been playing since like 2009ish though so definitely time for me to call it quits regardless. Just sucks seeing what the game has become [zombie-nunu-bummed]

power creep makes old champions unplayable, not the game itself

Being snowballed or Snowballing yourself are both negatives as either isn't enjoyable. Well at least for me, if you enjoy pummeling people that bad at no challenge i would suggest bots. We strive for a good match not 1 sided pummeling.

This is honestly how balance should be treated.
