Like I said, we experienced playing with Honey Fruit, Blue Vision thingy and Blast Cones. The first 2 mentioned are fine, however I think majority of LoL playerbase agrees that Blast Cones give a free get-out-of-jail ticket, that is not being punished for overextending i.e. venturing into the enemy jungle. Please vote in the bottom poll on this topic.

Topic mobility creep, if blast cones didnt exist, we would get such a strong powercreep onto mobility champs, simply because they tend to die less.

Id rather have more variety in junglers, than seeing Lee Sin, Nidalee and Rek Sai every game like we did before plants existed.

Idk how many games you have played, but I am sure that these kind of posts are made from the motivation, that you simply got outplayed around the plants. These things are a consistent part of the game, that you have to play around, if you dont want to, well, you can, but you wont increase the potential to make a game winning flank/gank/engage/escape idk what.

Plants right now are mandatory, I was fine with them from the getgo, especially after riot made them appear in consistent areas where I can definitely expect plants to be up.

People have adapted, Bard Players place their W over the wall from blue side to pop the Plant and avoid another gank path. Immobile Midlaners without mobility spells get to actually assist their jungler in invades and not get left behind by simply outrotating the enemy. The plants make for proactive play, you wont see this much roaming going on anymore, if you just removed plants from a second to the other.

Im really just getting uninformed BabyRage from this, seeking attention by making a low effort post+ poll just isnt gonna fit. And this will definitely not lead to riot actually removing the plants, because you dont have any arguments to back this claim in any way.

Sure it can be frustrating to see a guy get away, but if you intend to fight in that area, you can go ahead and pop it yourself if you pushed your lane in totally.

The plants also have a cooldown and they are not always available, see the blastcone as an additional summonerspell for anyone to use on the map.

The thing in the outer circle, the ones being "so frustrating to play against" have a cd between 5,5 and 6,5 minutes, that is longer than flash, harder to use, because you actually have to position yourself correctly and issue an aa command, which you dont have with flash. You also cannot reduce the cd even further with items/masteries.

The plants are not gimmicky, they are a gameplay element, which can be used and abused by better players than you are.

Idk why Im writing this much, you wont read it anyways.

You can use that phrasing on all plants. Honeyfruit lets you go back into lane or jungle after blowing all your mana or getting low health from a dive or clears and neglecting to buy pots yourself - free sustain. Scryer's gives you free vision of an entire area so you don't need to ward it yourself!

Nah dude, the plants are fine. If you don't like blast cones, then just clear them yourself when you can. It's what I do so folks can't run from me.

You can't phrase a poll question like that and expect meaningful results (although I doubt that's that you're looking for here).

Lol, Blastcones have saved me too many times for me to want them to be removed

blast cone plays are fun, pretty much everyone likes them at this point.

A part of me dies when someone gets away with blast cone. Also a Lee sin jumping over the wall and still having all his mobility up is bs. I've used it as a free flash for the skillful Chogath F R combo.

yeah most annoying plant. i always blow it up if i see them so nobody will use the Blast

And where are you seeing this?

The only time people had a problem with plants is before they were implemented. After people actually got to play with them, they realized they weren't a problem

the ONLY champ i have a problem with blast cones on is RekSai who is automatically unburrows when she uses them. (although at least she CAN use them while burrow now)

Remove the garbage RNG Plant System. A total hack-job. Get rid of this non-sense.

Really sad that a silver jungler changed gamepley by adding RNG gimmicks.

The only issue with plants was the RNG factor. Since plants are predictable with time and are in fixed locations, the RNG factor isn't an issue. Plants are fine.
