Too much free damage lets champions burst without landing abilities
There is presently too much free damage from all types of sources that allows champions too still chunk/kill other champions. Runes (Electrocute), Summoners (ignite), free passive (IE Zoe's W), %HP that found in many types of items, and anti resisitance items just makes it too easy.
It used to that you due to lower damage, and high cooldowns, you had to actually plan when to trade. Now, due to all the free damage and low cooldowns, people no longer "trade". You just trade, you don't have to really land abilities. A zoe can outtrade champions because she will proc electrocute and ignite very fast and still take a huge amount of HP.
A Zed early game can just mindlessly Q+W+Ignite and take a good 70% HP down. Sure, you most likely wont die but the amount of damage you took means he can kill you easily in ~10 seconds; it basically forces a back.
Riot also keeps buffing AA damage to compensate for buffing the non AA champions. After all, if a Zed can kill you without landing most of his abilities, AA champions need high damage. Now, ADC's in many cases can actually do BURST DAMAGE. No, they wont outburst a Zed but the AA still hits like a truck, you still die in 3-4 AA's, sometimes even less.
Worst, instead of nerfing some of this free damage, they just keep buffing other champions damage, Look at Fiz. He wasn't weak because he lack the damage to kill someone. NO, he was very much able to kill someone with a rotation. But it required that the fizz player actually to land majority of his spells. Now?
- Q a minon (to get close to the opponent)
- E to get even closer
- Try to get close to land R
- AA the knocked up champion
- Press W to reset your auto
- This triggers a Electrocute
- Ignite.
Victim is likely dead or needed to flash to avoid the burst. If they somehow survive all that, they will need to heal up.
And it SUCKS. SUCKS playing many immobile champions. You are left knowing that most of these champions will use the mobility in their kit to close the gab and still have enough to burst you because Riot overbuffed everything.
A Fizz shouldn't be able to burst down champions when he used 2/4 abilities to close the gab A Zed shouldn't be able to burst a champion down when he Flash + W+ R to close the gab, land a Q + Ignite + AA to proc a elec and chuck you down or kill you
