Came back after a year, the same champs, the same balance issues. Preseason feels like rubbish

Ekko, Yasuo, Caitlyn, Vladimir, Lee, Rengar, still as oppressive as ever.

  • Scuttle and jungle changes have completely obliterated slower tank junglers from the meta. The only way to get gold is by getting kills and assists, something slower junglers just can't compete with.

  • Anything that is not an AP mage support is condemned to be poor the whole game while getting harassed the entire lanephase.

  • Toplane is in the worst state its ever been. Vayne, Tristana, Quinn, Teemo are legit picks and the higher your eelo the more you see them.

  • New champs with insanely overloaded kits like Senna, Aphelios etc keep getting released.

  • Every game you see the same champs. The viability-pool is like 25 champs, anything else is a troll pick.

I know Riot doesn't care and everything we say falls on deaf ears. I think I will skip another season then.

"Oppressive"

Anything that is not an AP mage support is condemned to be poor the whole game while getting harassed the entire lanephase.

Out of the top 5 supports, exactly 1 is AP. Then there's 3 enchanters and a tank.

Toplane is in the worst state its ever been. Vayne, Tristana, Quinn, Teemo are legit picks and the higher your eelo the more you see them.

Vayne and Tristana are troll picks toplane, and literally any semi-reputable stat site you look at proves that. Vayne is a very niche toplaner, only viable into specific matchups, and you absolutely need to dodge if your top locks in Tristana.

Neither Quinn nor Teemo are meta toplaners, although they're not unviable. However, they have been toplaners for at least the past 4 seasons, and, as far as I'm aware, since release.


Like, I get that some seasons feel like shit, but you could at least try to make everything factually accurate.
