I officially hate playing my main
I can't even play Sion anymore. There's too much shit in the game that counters him outright. Caitlin and every mid laner in the game are literally untouchable, there's so much burst and not enough tankiness that I feel like I melt in teamfights before they even begin, and the worst part is that I can't even zone people anymore because they just flat out don't fear me. I'm a walking meatbag with one semi reliable CC and one unreliable one, and below average base stats to make up for an infinite stacking mechanic.
I can forgive tanks having less damage. Yes, we did too much damage. You nerfed that. Claps all around. But why in the hell did you nerf all of our defensive stats on items too? This seems like a huge either or situation, not both at the same time. Remember when you said that Black Market Brawlers wasn't coming back because it was too much change all at once? Don't you think this is just a little too much?
You know what, I'm gonna pro con this. Pros:
-
Tanks were dealing too much damage too reliably, and now that they don't, other classes have much more breathing room
-
Nerfing tank damage has also lead to more variety in top lane
-
Finally a third MR option, which is something many tanks have been needing for a long time, and the itemization is less generalized
-
Rift Herald is finally worth fighting over, and isn't an afterthought objective
Cons:
-
Most tanks die faster now than they ever have, and because of this, do not impact teamfights with CC as much as they should be doing.
-
Damage dealers feel oppressive because tanks are no longer strong enough to keep them in check, leading to an overall more negative experience for people who are behind.
-
MR Itemization might be less generalized, but it's too much so. It's become so narrow that there will be situations where only one of them will be more useful than being just a stat stick. Abyssal Mask does not feel good to purchase, and Adaptive helm is not always a solid answer to the magic damage threat on the enemy team.
-
Fighters are now more prevalent than they should be, and tanks cannot lane well against them. This is especially heinous when you consider that there are fighters that build tank items and have a much higher impact on the game.
I'm not going to say this was the worst class update, because honestly it didn't feel like a class update. It felt like a group item nerf for tanks, with justification in the form of 3 reworks for JUNGLERS, not top laners, JUNGLERS (two already junglers, and one pushed in that direction by his rework), with zero respect given to the fact that there are a lot of tanks that are top laners, and that this rework was unfair to them
that actually mean anything...
so in the crappy lethality/assasin and burst meta that we had back than, i couldnt really play them.
. So maybe you could try to think of champion that are like
in some ways and the meta favors them. Maybe you could try to play
, shes better in this meta i think.
