"It's just preseason, it has been like this every year"
And here we are, in june, and the game still feels like shit, with waaay too high damage, useless turrets and a extremely weak Baron.
sweetrules37 votesBaron is weak because champ damage is too high. Turrets are even weaker for the same reason, yet Riot nerfed them recently. Which I think is the funniest and dumbest thing yet this year. Only move in the right direction was toning down crit itemization. Damage needs to be trimmed across the board. From there, they can actually start working towards balance. But as long as damage is as high as it is right now, it's gonna remain a joke.
AirKingNeo12 votesBaron deals no damage.
sweetrules18 votesI mean, it's suppose to deal ramping damage, but that doesn't really work when it dies within 10 seconds most of the time.
GayFluffyUnicorn14 votesI dont get it. The baron before the recent nerf was SO good and made it impossible to just cheese it 20 mins into the game without a mountain drake. Finally a decision worthy objective especially if you have no tank in the game allowing an actual comeback for a team that is far behind and actually takes a great risk trying to contest it: losing it means GG, contesting it means mostly having no vision, no items which can lose you the game even without the enemy taking baron if you get caught out. And it wasn't even overpowered. With one mountain i managed to duo it thirty minutes into the game as mundo with a zed, no problemo. For how autowin it is it really needs to be stronger especially dmg wise.
Tomoe Gozen4 votesThe damage from the most widespread class in the game (Marksmen) has been reduced and delayed quite heavily. What's next? This was the biggest complaint regarding League's balance and now that it's dealt with (still can be fine tuned), what other problems do you see? What's the next class that's going to be attacked for having too much damage?
sweetrules4 votesFun fact, Marksmen use to need 4 or 5 items to start deleting people, now it's just back to that. They weren't attacked, they were just lowered back to where they used to be(At least crit adcs anyway.)
You are acting so defensive by calling it an attack. As for who I would say needs to be toned down next damage-wise? Assassins and tanks, and bruisers, though I don't feel Riot would willingly nerf three, or even two class types at once. Tanks are suppose to be able to tank, right now, if they aren't Mundo, Sion, or cho gath, they get shredded too fast to really be called tanks. If you don't have at least 2 tanks not including one of those three(Sion and cho both can stack health permanently if played right), you might as well not have one at all. Because they'll melt your frontline otherwise. Right now, even tanks have more damage than they probably should. Instead of being about being a good frontline or engage/disengage.
Darkone70012 votesI agree tanks do way to much damage and have virtually no survivability. ( I largely main tanks)
LordGeovanni1 votesReduced in lane phase.
z D3 votesThe day it takes at least 2 whole minutes and literally requires the whole team to take down baron I’ll be happy. Half the champion pool can solo it that’s not right
MOuHahaHAhahaaaa32 votesYeah and it's gonna be like this until season 9.
Naalith52 votesLol that sounds optimistic.

You are loved4 votesUntil the death of league*
Frankly dude league is already dead, normal people have stopped playing. The only ones left are addicts
Naymliss3 votesNah, I keep playing until a better game comes along. I'd play DotA if not for turn rate and I hate fortnite's building in combat mechanics, but if something else came along I wouldn't hesitate to play it.
LordGeovanni1 votesTry paladins Although its faster than league. I dont feel squisher on a tank than i do on an adc or mage
Naymliss1 votesI quit paladins a while back because the hotboxes were way too big on characters have they fixed that?
LordGeovanni1 votesI have no idea im a noob and i play on ps4

IkOerman4 votesThis
He destroyed WoW and is now doing it to League. In. Exactly. The. Same. Way.
Slice n Dice em15 votesI just don't understand why did they revert/nerf the changes to the baron. Baron was fixed, doing damage and finally became a hard target like it was in previous seasons and people were happy. I just simply don't understand the revert/nerf.
TrikzterzArma3 votesI ask myself wth the Balance team are doing almost every patch
Fondling Gems10 votesRiot did specifically state that this whole season was going to be messed up and wonky due to the extent of the changes it is going through. They made it pretty clear that this whole season was basically going to be one big long preseason.
Edit: If anyone knows where the original statement was can you link it for Ridderhoff?

Last season was equally garbage, so do you count last season as a preseason too then? Cmon man, the game is shit due to the myriad of dumb changes they've made. It's not getting better; it's getting worse. Action speaks louder than words. What they say or don't say is irrelevant.

Anatera6 votesDon't worry, Riot will fix it. When? Fuuuuck, I mean eventually, right?
Jeddy0174 votesYeah, Riot will fix it. In fact they already have..............in an alternate universe where NA win Worlds & 
has the most skins in the game.
ShaolinToilet5 votesI've seen this posted every week since the start of the season
Akali is SO HOT4 votesPeople have been saying this game is shit since the beginning of time. This game has never not been shit to the people who, for whatever reason, choose to keep playing it.
Marothennan2 votesActually I didn't think it was shit in season 4 and 5
PowerSlave9933 votesDamn baron is weak... = nerf it more! low mind players can't finish it at 20 minute!!! Damn turrets are weak... = nah, they need nerf so that we see more tower dives in ''competitive'' games!!! But... turrets won't be able to defend anything! = I DO NOT CARE, they need to be weak because of chinese internet caffee!!! Damn tanks like poppy are quite weak... = nerf her tank stats and give her more damage, next! What about broken Kai'sa and other adc? = nerf kai'sa AD and give her more AP scale so that guinsoo's, nashoor tooth is even stronger! For others, nah fuck them, give critical items medcare and go! Yasuo is too overpowered! = don't nerf him, instead bring more broken champs to the rift and community will have to ban them instead of Yasuo. Problem solved.
I don't get it how community is never satisfied with our changes... Come on we do the best to make games shorter as possible even tho you didn't even want that!!!
Lopedo3 votesIf its a problem there is always the option of creating your own (superior MOBA), not playing the game, or dealing with it.
I remember a time when people spent their time developing or fixing the issue rather than spending time posting about it, and for what? They will just log in, play, complain... rinse and repeat ect. Stop complaining and enjoy the game, and if you no longer enjoy the game and its current state, simply quit playing. It's not like you are out of money for a game. It's a FREE GAME that been out a decade.
Adapt or QQ
TrikzterzArma4 votesI'm not even gonna argue with stupid comments like this. I'm allowed to express my thoughts on the boards, about a game I've been playing for 7 years.
Yuvn Ti2 votesMake baron do wayyy more dmg but take the same dmg it does now
a tad faster to kill, a LOT harder to solo
make 1v1ing baron a challenge instead of a "oh yeah he's master yi/jax of course they can"

Well, old baron had the acid drop that did magic damage, and did more damage every time it hit you.
It made soloing baron hard because if you were there alone, every single acid drop would hit you. Otherwise they'd be evenly distributed.
I feel like that mechanic was removed.
Terozu2 votesThey said this whole season will be like season one as they try new things.
Nea1042 votesIt was clear the game would just have get worse. At least, I've never doubted that, knowing how this company "works". They are messing up day by day, since last year at least. And players are leaving more and more :P
R U GG or MM2 votesJust go play PUBG and Dota2, this game sucks and boring af
FurriesAreHot1 votesPUBG is boring shit. DOTA is great though.
But seriously f you hate the game why bother commenting dumb shit like this.
MFTORANK12 votesNobody tries in ranked anymore it's actually kinda sad
Thilmer2 votesI hope they change the balance team completely by the end of the season.
The game shouldn't be a chaotic clownfiesta during all the year: preseason exists for a reason, and if you are changing 30 champions and 20 ítems in every patch, you are not balancing shit.
Also, what is this "new keystones every few weeks"?
UnknownTerritory2 votesTurrets useless and champions damage way too high
Total Eclipse2 votestbh I was SO happy with the spot baron was in, and then they just had to go and nerf baron's stats to where it is now. Was anyone else REALLY happy with how tough baron was a patch or two ago?
Shablagoo1 votesWasnt Baron's dmg high for about one patch, then people complained so they changed it?
TrikzterzArma10 votesI havent seen one single complaint about Baron having too much damage
RocketRelm5 votesYeah, there was one patch where baron was good, and then people cried and rito nerfed him to be weaker than ever.
I don't blame you for missing it, the whole thing happened quickly.
