Difference between prior season and 6-7
So, is it just me but everyone complains about damage yet enjoy keystones? You all realize that these keystones have a huge impact on how much damage a champion does? Literally, that thunderlords proc along with Leblanc is so unnecessary. That extra shielding given to Riven or Nautilus? The extra damage from fervor given to Vayne or the lifesteal from warlords along with dorans blade?
These keystones have a huge impact on how snowbally this game can get or out of control League becomes nowadays. It's to the point where it just adds onto how "snowbally" the game already is along with first blood gold and first tower.
What is it that anyone at Riot feels as if this is what makes league fun? SoloQ games rarely go over 40 minutes, decided at 10-15 minutes with the occasional comeback if the enemy team doesn't know how to abuse their lead (happens pretty often sometimes in SoloQ) but for the most part in high elo it just turns into a stomp, and this game is supposed to be balanced around this elo right? Gold (not so much), plat, diamond+.
Pre season Season 6 is what turned League into the game it is today. Unenjoyable (in my opinion, which I'm subjective to but apparently for a lot of you too) and my friends as well who played this game all day every day in Season 5 but everyone just started losing interest once season 6 changes came. This games balance is out of control. Games are decided by the jungle, which is honestly sad in my opinion. Not to mention, Riot has turned League into a game which heavily relies on a team now a days. You hear this a lot, and yes, I know League has always been a team game and is what every MOBA should be based around but, it's to the point where literally your team decides if they want to win or not. Just a single lane getting stomped (Bot lane) can decide how this game goes anymore.
Why? Because this means not only does Bot lane get pooped on, assists are given to the jungle (sometimes kills) and support, kills to the adc just means that's 3 people already with a huge gold lead and the first tower gold wide spread to the rest of the team along with the dragon which creates a game to become unenjoyable and snowball. This wasn't how it used to be in previous season.
Now, of course everyone complains about how they miss prior seasons while in a current season but really. What was more enjoyable to a lot of you, I'm genuinely curious - say for example Season 4 or 5 compared to Season 6 and 7? Me? I'd say 4 and 5 were by far more enjoyable than 6 and currently 7. Obviously there were balance issues, just like every season has but seriously, it's come to a point where this seasons balance is just ridiculous.
