The game state of League of Legends

Watching the game's development, I've been motivated to make this post since there COULD be people out there who are unhappy with all the unfair mechanics and champions that the game currently has.

Some of them aren't even fair. So Zed can Q farm and just roam bot to grab his free double kill and he is literally IMPOSSIBLE to balance, since adc is squishier than a caster minion and his combo deals double an adc's health or something. This is the katarina syndrome, he goes and gets a kill and bye-bye team. I ban Zed since irelia was reworked cause, since they removed my point and click CC he can oneshot me(rarely), or most of my team every single game and end up oneshotting me too anyway.

And there is Yasuo. Farm to lategame, deal 1700 true damage. What? Why is everyone saying that Yasuo has no damage? He literally has a CC that isnt affected by tenacity and when he ults the CC is like EXTENDED, it's FOREVER and you can do NOTHING. You can't even stop him from being fed I dont see a weakness, his Q is unfair at all levels and his whirlwind is too good a zoning tool. And his windwall is buggy as hell, I cant use E with irelia around him because his windwall has a shield bigger than the lane or something, the game just pins my E to his windwall even if I don't press E near it. His E is unfair, since it isnt ok to have a windwall that blocks ultimates with cooldowns that are minutes long, and have a 0.1s dash to escape whatever else he didnt block. And please dont mention that he doesnt have mobility without minions, it's not like you are fighting between towers so he doesnt have mobility?? And now with all the true damage you get oneshot by going full tank.

I really don't like where the game is going. They remove the adc but develop an even worse meta, they just make everyone deal true damage to each other, oneshots everywhere at level 1 and assassins are going insane again. Look at new Aatrox, he literally has 4 CC. Is that fun?

In my opinion they should just REMOVE ALL THIS DAMAGE, IT'S UNNECESSARY and it doesn't help the LCS scene, they all play safe anyway, so at least make the major playerbase have an enjoyable game. It's just like hashinshin said, IN a nutshell. You hope your team bans these champions or hope the enemy don't pick them, there are so many broken ones if u can play them that just removes their weaknesses like Vladimir he's so unfair to play against, even some casters like Syndra have unfair range and burst, meanwhile Riven still sucks in all stages of the game unless you're boxbox or playing versus a bunch of intro bots. They made bruisers good sure but since they're supposed to be tanky the tank changes just made them go full glass cannon and thats why there's oneshotting flying around the game and it's not healthy at all.

They made all the tanks about damage and not CC anymore, u go Ornn top and deal more damage than anyone, I've yet to see someone actually beat his damage in laning phase, and it's not just that he has a ton of utility and tankiness, he can absolutely remove the toplaner from the game.

All this CC is doing nothing but literally REMOVING juggernauts from the game. When is the last time you've seen a Darius or Illaoi actually do something? I miss the days of complaining about Camille,Fiora,Riven or Darius or Garen but not the goddamn Trinity yasuo what the hell???

And they still did nothing about Teemo,Gnar or Heimerdinger, they're still the same, beating BRUISERS in melee range, especially Heimer or Teemo since Gnar has been balanced lately. But nobody cares about them anymore, everyone is just busy playing Yasuo, Zed and Pyke.

I believe the champion Pyke is a joke. I might be getting this wrong, but he gets a Q that is either Thresh Q, Singed Fling and a forward damaging ability, gets invisibility that also heals him when not spotted, his E is just not ok but is kind of justified since he isnt tanky, but his ultimate is just completely unfair. It's an AOE TRUE DAMAGE execute, which RESETS on a support champion. On top of building full lethality he oneshots anyone and provides his team with gold.

To expand on the crowd control, I think they should remove all this CC cause this really isnt fun. I find most of the time I just spend being stunlocked with some stuns having unfair range, easy to land and/or deals a ton of damage while keeping you in place forever. I find displacements and knockups the most troubling since you can't buy the QSS every game, and it is really unfair to have to adjust champs that you DON'T want to play and buy items you don't afford to buy just to live a bit longer. I don't care if they turn the game into a slapping contest I just feel like this constant combination of CC and damage makes teamfights end in splitseconds.

And I don't blame my team for dying. Most of the time I feel helpless towards some champions that have unfair mechanics like untargetable or keeping you in place for too long. It's really not anyone's fault, it's the scalings these champions have on their abilities. I'd even be up for them to nerf my main if it makes the game fun.

TL;DR: tone down cc, make knockups be mitigated in some way, remove damage creep, nerf AD champions until the game is a wet noodle fight until 20 minutes, and stop releasing champs with numerous CC.

Opinions on the matter and/or suggestions on how to deal with these things we find in the game. I would prefer if the comments would be purely educational.

LOL you know irelia is one of zed's top counter now, and zed is the worst champion of probably the worst class in the game (AD assassins)

Except double kills aren't nearly as free as you say they are unless it's silver or something. You can't "just roam bot to grab his free double kill" in any environment above gold assuming you haven't already inted Zed a bunch of free gold.

To avoid any confusion I am NOT talking about pro play. Nobody here is even close to pro play. Please don't mention lack of zed in pro play since there is a difference between people who get paid to win and people who play the game casually.

You lowkey sound super tilted. Irelia and Yasuo require a great deal of skill to play and execute properly. Yes wind wall can be problematic but it isn't any more problematic than braum's shield for example. Yasuo can be punished and outplayed just like every other champion. He is almost as squishy as an ADC especially early on. He can be punished and also the reason he is so out of control in most games is because people over extend and die I don't think it's so much the champion that's broken.

As an ADC main yes the crit changes w/ IE screwed everything up. Yes not all ADCs should have true damage just because they build crit it doesn't make sense at all.

Imo there is counter play to these champions. It's not that easy to get a double kill bot unless they're over extended. Just because mid roams first guarantee kills. Again if they're over extended 3v2 mid roams bot kills are likely regardless of if it's zed, or lux, brand, (insert your mid laner). That's just how league is you can get punished for over extending and people can dive you under tower. It's more about pinging and what not so these things don't happen. I don't necessarily see them as flaws with the game. If anything runes/items are over tuned not these specific champions themselves. Again this is my opinion.
