There's Too Much Damage

Alright. I've had enough of the insane damage. Mages have insane damage. ADCs have insane damage. Junglers have crazy insane damage for a role that can literally take everyone else's farm plus some and have map-wide freedom while every one else is stuck in one spot. For some reason, supports have insane damage rivaling their ADCs, sometimes surpassing them when they get no gold whatsoever. Hell even tanks have insane damage tanking all the damage you give them while being able to deal the same damage to you. Damage after damage. There's so much damage in this frigging game, you had to give mages items that give more health than tank items so they wouldn't get deleted in one Q. Then you had to buff more champions because they weren't dealing enough damage. But before that, you nerfed all the champions that were dealing too much damage and in return buffed other champions so now they're doing more damage than the champions you nerfed for dealing too much damage. All for the sake of "The Meta."

At no point in the game should anybody or anything deal 2000+ damage in 2 seconds. I don't care if they're fed or it's at 40 mins. If you want a kill, you need to work for it through outplay or teamwork that's it. Not because you can one shot them without needing half of your brain. Especially when the average hp at 20 mins is around 2000 hp and that's less for ADCs. Champions are out here dealing 500 damage at level three when you can barely build 800 hp at level three. That's fucking insane. This game has slowly went from a game about actual skill, patience, mechanics, and actually having fun to whoever picks the better champs and antifun. You don't need skill anymore. All you need is a team with more damage.

On a sidenote: The bounty system is bull crap and I have the slightest idea of how or why Riot decided that is was justifiable in any way. You play the game the way you're supposed to. Excel in your lane, exploit your enemy for making mistakes, and outwit the enemy jungler's gank attempts and as a result, they get more gold from killing you than you get from killing them. You don't even get 300 gold for every kill which is more bull crap. So now, you have to deal with a bounty but also the junlger (which I believe junglers should be removed because they are ruining the game. At least to me). This takes your lead and your pressure and removes it if not lessens it.

CC is crazy. Every champ has it and it lasts entirely too long. When you get hit with any CC now, you might as well close out of league and watch a YouTube video cuz you know you're dead and if you aren't, you're stuck in the CC for ages. All the while, they're dealing half your health in one move. THERE'S TOO MUCH DAMAGE. Enough is enough. You can't even argue the reason you added more damage was to speed games up because games are still taking 30 mins to an hour. Just take all the damage out. Take all the CC out and start slow with little numbers.

Played since season 2 and this is my first comment ever and its to necro a thread :)

Just uninstalled for this very reason.

  • You die in one cc because of the burst and tenacity seems bugged. I've sat in CC from 1 ability on multiple occasions for up to 8 seconds with mercs. Not that it should matter because no champ in the game has 8 second cc at any point. Spaghetti code programmers.

  • Games bugged beyond belief on many other champion mechanic interactions.

  • Players still leave lobby without much consequence -- there should be 60min penalty at the least or fix que system either way.

  • They have been rotating what's "op" every season, and this season it's mages -- again, which is cancerous considering tenacity is bugged to shit.

  • Dev's are liberal hipsters with good social skills and sharp smiles which apparently helps them keep their job over -- being good at their job.

  • Riot is so big in the Esports scene now that they don't listen at all and probably never will again.

  • The only allow certain types of personalities to play in the pro scene. Mostly it's just 85 pound 20 year olds with hipster haircuts and non-prescription glasses that say things like, "are you actually" or "wait that's actually" that teenagers in high school can still relate to because well.. They still look like high school kids.. Kinda sad really.

I just miss the league that was if you won lane you could solo carry your garbo team.. Yeah that doesn't exist anymore really because 1 bounty can change everything you've built if some champ with 8 cc abilities which also deal 800 damage each gets the bounty.

I fully agree that damage is ridiculous, CC and mobility are out of control, and the current state of the game is just awful...however...a lot of your claims are ludicrous, blatant, outright bullshit.

No you haven't. Unless you can provide proof no one will ever believe this, because the claim is ridiculous. There WERE times back in S1/S2 when getting hit with 2 knockups would bug out and send you rocketing into the air for a long time...but that is a thing long passed.

Yeah. There are bugs. Some of them are game breaking. "RIIIIIIIGHT THROUGH THE COUNTERSTRIKE!!" This is a valid complaint.

Players still leave lobby without much consequence -- there should be 60min penalty at the least or fix que system either way.

How can you have played since S2 and not know about the queue penalty? I don't dodge games, but have had friends DC while in lobby together. The first dodge is 5 mins. The second is 15. The third is much higher 1 or 12 hours or something. They go up exponentially. Ranked dodgers also lose LP.

They have been rotating what's "op" every season, and this season it's mages -- again, which is cancerous considering tenacity is bugged to shit.

I really don't think tenacity is bugged. It doesn't work on movement displacement CC, and maybe that's what you're experiencing.

Dev's are liberal hipsters with good social skills and sharp smiles which apparently helps them keep their job over -- being good at their job.

What the hell are you even talking about here? When have you ever talked to the devs or seen more than one or two of them?

Riot is so big in the Esports scene now that they don't listen at all and probably never will again.

Yeah, I agree to an extent with this.

The only allow certain types of personalities to play in the pro scene.

This just makes absolutely no sense. There used to be heavier people in the LCS, but that's not the case any more because pros have learned that a healthy lifestyle with exercise and healthy food make for better training and play. More energy, better blood flow to the brain, makes for better players.
