Tbh this game keeps being unplayable until i get some fuckin agency over my lane again
Like i'm just sick and tired of it and riot does NOTHING to change that. Instead they keep nerfing jungle in a way that annoys junglers and everyone else.
Just had a game (just a normal blind pick) on yasuo vs caitlyn midlane. Now unlike what boards think being ranged is actually an advantage considering she gets three autos in before i get even close to touch her and she has if i saw it right 2 base armor less than me. Ofc still i can all in her and win that is due to ranged being pure statchecks and melees having the decision to either all in or die horribly or not even try it but melees usually win the melee range 1v1 unless you are kennen or jayce then you just win everything forever.
Now unfortunately i didn't see that caitlyn was in a loving relationship with pyke (their jungle) that made him sit midlane the entire 10 minutes of the lane forcing me to back on basically every gank. Now he didn't kill me but i was down 30 CS and she got all plates from turret a great and fine addition by riot btw that totally didn't fuck the game up even more but that is a separate topic.
Now why is pyke sitting midlane the entire game? Well WHY NOT is the question. There is nothing to farm or counterjungle opposite to what my jungler believes who kept farming-->backport--->farm camp--->backport--->farm camp backport. The pyke has nothing better to do he ensures the game is a 4v5 for my team and my jungle makes it a 3v5 so why not just keep me out of lane losing any advantage i might have. Now while it was bad last season this season it's just horribly and unironically makes me want to just alt+f4 midgame seeing how the enemy laner gets 1k gold ahead of me for what? Oh he got the jungler on his team and i didnt so i guess i lose haHAAAA.
Like can we get away from bohooo that champ has x winrate that's OP and focus on what actually makes this game so fuckin unfun to play? That you basically have no agency anymore that if matchmaking wasn't in your favor you never get to play the game? That this game is STILL overloaded to hell and back with damage? Black cleaver lee sin taking over half my health bar because he pressed RQQ? Then EC proccs, two auto attacks and i'm dead from full health. Wow what interesting gameplay there is. That champs like yasuo are basically required to kill squishies in an AA Q AA or he is useless asf? What a huge mistake it was to revert ADCs instead of nerfing mages and adjusting the powerspikes of the classes again? Could have been a great opportunity to tone down the game a tad.
Are we like gonna talk how "lategame hypercarries" are often strong enough to win even against lanebullies while outscaling them? There is so much bullshit with this game and ZeD iS oP is not one of them.
And yes this is a rant cuz i love this game and i'm so sick of being at the mercy of my jungler to be able to play league because riot live design doesn't want to change the jungle for whatever fuckin reason. I guess because of pro play since it's more exciting when the jungler just ganks non stop one or two lanes.
At the VERY LEAST get RID OF VERTICAL JUNGLE ALREADY so junglers CAN NOT just sit on one half of the map and annoy the shit out of everyone but that would ask to revert scuttle changes which means riot would have to admit a mistake so probably it won't be changed until season 2021.
Like it's actually insane riot manages to ruin the jungle for everyone. Noone likes being at the mercy of his jungler to play the game equally i do not like being at the mercy of my laner to follow scuttle and invades.
IT SUCKS riot it sucks SO HARD. An entire preseason which seemed to be just a longer vacation for you guys. Seriously DO SOMETHING. The jungle rework was in s7. Beginning of s7. TWO YEARS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.
For the love of god. DO SOMETHING.
