Close to being done with League for now
I just can't take it anymore. I'm tired of playing League of Legends. It's always the same few champions every single game and I don't play the broken champs and I won't put myself at that level.
Sated devourer is the most broken item there is bar none. It made champs that were already strong just stupid strong to the point there's almost no counterplay to them if you play a squishy target. If they can reach you then you are dead. If you don't play Ezreal, Lucian, Corki, Graves, or whatever other adc that has mobility then don't play unless you're gonna try to run Kogmaw and can be fully protected because you're just fodder for the uber bruisers or assassins or ap mages that can jump in and combo you out in the span of a second.
I like to play Jinx, but I feel like I'm actually a detriment to my team because I have no escape and you can't count on your team to actually help you that much in Gold at least. I've had Xin Zhaos flash jump me and I'm dead before I come out of the knockup. I try to position well but no matter how well you do there's always going to be some kind of opportunity for someone to dash in or flash engage and delete you before you have a second to respond. I don't understand why there's no counterplay to this whatsoever... I can't even flash before I die most of the time. This Xin Zhao that deleted me I'd like to add was like 7-12 .. he wasn't even doing well. We all know there's just as many offenders out there like Master Yi, Shyvana, Udyr, and many others that just get way too powerful out of the jungle. I find myself building Maw, Steraks, and Merc scim every single game because if you don't you just don't have a prayer. It feels like there's no options for itemization because if you don't build those you simple don't compete. Maybe other champs that have mobility can get away with less but I feel like there's alegitimate problem with how much burst there is in this game now.
Look at pro play, the only ADCs that ever get picked are Ezreal, Corki, Graves, Lucian, Kalista - basically all the ones with mobility. Kogmaw gets picked occassionaly but its picked into a protect the kogmaw comp built solely around that. Jhins had a couple of games mainly because he was new. It honestly feels like jungle and top are the main carry lanes now and the adc is only there to support those roles and bring the sustained damage. If your top and jungle aren't doing well then the adc doesnt feel as useful.
My last gripe is the jungle. The jungle is too important now. The jungle gets to farm safely for much of the game, build what they want, and then carry games and they influence the lanes more than any other role on the map. If your jungle isn't doing well then it really feels like you are just done for. Jungle shouldn't be able to influence lanes as much as they do while carrying games, while still being super safe early for the most part.
This is what I see banned almost every game : Udyr, Xin Zhao, Zed, Yi, Shyvana, Soraka, Jax, Kogmaw, Fiora, Tahm Kench.
I see these picked almost every game. Lucian, Ezreal, Corki, Fiora, Zed, Talon, Lux, Ahri, Braum, Thresh, Morgana, Nidalee, and whatever isn't banned from the list above. Almost every single game. Every. Single. Game. This company needs to get something figured out because it's just ridiculous that there are so many champs and so few are actually played now.
Sorry for the rant, it's just not fun anymore.
