This game is broken on several levels.

Lots of ADCs are super strong and OP. Mages have been rendered near useless in midlane. Summoner's Rift has turned into Dominion and ARAM, i.e. one team, hell one CHAMP gets a lead, the whole thing snowballs and the game is over. Also, if you don't know, whatever happens in SR transfers over to the other modes so Dominion is now even worse than before (FIX THIS MODE RIOT AND STOP DRAGGING YOUR FEET ON IT) and ARAM also has games snowball harder and faster. Turrets are a joke, you literally cannot count on their protection AT ALL now. Champions can just walk past them even with no minion wave push and nothing will happen to them, and you're fucked. FIX THE TURRETS NOW RIOT, GIVE THEM BACK THEIR HEALTH, GIVE THEM MORE DAMAGE AND FIX THE DAMN TARGETING SYSTEM ON THEM ALREADY WHICH IS THEIR BIGGEST PROBLEM!!

Me and my friend play this game on Normals so we can have fun while still being competitive. Now we can't have fun unless we're stomping, because it's either you stomp or get stomped. Meaningful, fun strategic matches are dead now. We are both thinking of quitting the game because it's just not fun anymore. Yes, last pre-season was pretty bad intially with the jungle changes. It wasn't THIS BAD. I used to feel like I could come back and still have a decent game if I fed a few kills. Now if I feed only 2-3 times, it seems like now it's like I just lost the game for my team. It started to feel that way before, when Vayne became OP and the Juggernaut re-works happened, but now it's much worse.

Riot, you may not do this, but you should seriously consider doing it:revert everything back to the tank meta. Stop doing this constant change of it. The meta was fine, it just needed some smoothing out and it would've been close to perfect. Why are you so gung-ho about this notion of keeping things fresh by changing everything, especially when it pretty damn good the way it was? Stop designing this game around pleasing the LCS players and their crowd. Focus on US, WE are your core audience and when we go, you won't have much left.

To elaborate on the turrets, they are not legitimate points of defense, let alone legitimate objectives. They may as well not be there, their only use is to give gold out to the team that takes them. They do crap damage, the get taken down if someone sneezes on them and the AI is so bad for them that they won't focus ANYONE ATTACKING YOU. So essentially, RIOT YOU HAVE MADE THE OBJECTIVE OF YOUR GAME NULL AND VOID. Kills are all that matter now, it's become team death match.

Oh by the way the new minion mechanic only makes snowballing easier and it has made minion pathing HORRIBLE. I've already had numerous times get stuck trying to get through my own minions and end up having to walk completely around them, wasting my damn time and potentially getting me killed.

I agree and disagree with your statement. The thing is, they are extremely good vantage points for your team and gives off more pressure against the enemy team.

If you take the first outter turret, and they dont take yours, the minion wave will eventually build up in your favor. This is an extremely useful tactic for top/bot lanes.

They also do provide a moderate amount of defense as well, Its resourceful damage if you actually end up team fighting under a turret. As well as nice choke points to prevent the enemy team from grouping and running down a lane.

Can't also forget that they actually have a sense of pressure in the mid lane for Early-Mid game so grabbing dragon could be easier or more difficult depending on what is actually going on, on the map.

DAMN TARGETING SYSTEM

Welcome to DOTA

I just wanted to get downvotes, I actually already pretty much quit league after the Season 5 rewards for CSGO because I find it more entertaining sitting in a 30-90 minute competitive match of CSGO than 20-60 minutes of this game.

Yes you get trolls just like League, however, its nice to know that when someone leaves, I have some coverage. Or the ability to kick people, that one is always nice.

Sorry to say, this game has become less interesting as each season rolls over for me. I loved this game Season 1-3, but after that, I kind of stop caring as much about this game once Season 4 hit.

If you've heard of the youtuber "gbay99", he actually is on the spot with a lot of the older players. (I suggest watching some of his videos, hes quite entertaining)

This topic is more of a rant than a discussion, I cant really make much out of it.
