Poll: Has anyone had fun playing LoL Since 5.22?

Not trying to hate, but this is the single worst experience I've gotten out of league of legends in over four years of gameplay.

I have friends who have played since the beta who are quitting until changes are made, I've told people I recently got into league to take a break due to the sheer loss of balance and playability for any champion that doesn't rely on crit for damage. (Crit champs have always been an issue in pre-30 play due to extremely low ability to counter their damage until late game without proper runes/masteries.)

The new item changes are either brutally restrictive or globally overpowered to the point that purchasing a third item finished item is either beyond reach or fully unnecessary, depending entirely on your role.

The new masteries promised greater diversity between builds, yet with the pick one system champs are being railroaded into extremely specific paths with no mathematical reason to build in any other way.

We were told they wanted to increase the diversity felt between individual games yet I feel the only diversity present is which 2-3 AD carries are wiping the floor with everyone else in any particular game. Yasuo went from requiring skill to play well to simply requiring you to buy item 3087 then dash/auto-attack everyone into oblivion with zero available counter-play.

All that being said I really want to ask the community at large.

Is anyone out there having fun at all anymore?

You will have a lot more fun if you study the patch. I call it the dota update

As a Morgana mid laner...I fucking love this patch. I've got myself some cdr glyphs and as an extra FU to Pwyff a CDR Quint so I get 40% CDR off nomicon. Then I go rekt ADCs (and Yasuos) all day with QW. Honestly I'm not even missing out on the mana pots that much.

Yes, im having a great time. Winning lane actually means something again and there are far more itemization choices than before. Yasuo and Trynd are cancerous but they will be hotfixed in a few days

Of course. Actually, quite a lot of it.

I really enjoy theorycrafting and then putting theories into practice to see how everything works out. As I theory crafted that, with the changes to AD items and champions, everybody would be playing ADs (to try them out), oftentimes even 4-AD comps, I picked Malphite and Taric (Armor of the Fifth Age on sale, the ballad of gay Taric!) and got to have a lot of fun. Especially since tanks had a few nifty buffs (LW changed to bonus pen, strong keystones, less random damage in masteries while getting to build 9 in defense, IBG scaling with Armor).

Yeah, this might seem a little rude but you probably dont understand this patch. You need the kennens, you need the vlads, you need the tanky AP's, if oyu choose ahri FP mid like YEAH MAN APS ARE SO COOL... then they choose yasuo or talon.. you can't say THIS PATCH SUCKS(Just because they made AD assassins/casters viable now) you need to pick mid intelligently, and top too.(The tryn, yasuo,rengar, etc) AD assassins are really strong in the jungle also.. people need to ADJUST to the changes. thats it. If you keep trying to do this Bruiser top/tank jg/ap mid/Tanky support.. like last season( very little diversity, cuz it's troll to pretty mcuh do anything else due to tank meta being so powerful) now it's changed.. you can do tank meta.. but you may not want 3 tanks or 2 tanks and 1 bruiser... cuz it'll suck for oyu.. you need diversity, maybe AD caster jungle, AD assassin top(to counter tryn or yasuo for example) AP middle bruiser or squish caster tank support + adc. for example. Notice how thats a lot different from bruiser top/AP mid / Tank jungler/adc/Tank support EVERY.. FCKn... game?(ALmost)
