This season has been the most imbalanced and inconsistent season yet

The season started off with "lol adc 2017"

Then assassin's were super strong due to lethality changes. We turned lethality down then buffed it then nerfed it again and repeated this process litteraly every patch because lethality is just unable to balance. When you have assassin jayce riven gank plank and pantheon running around its impossible to balance that.

Supports were buffed to make them feel more useful and we loved it so much that we got support item after support item. Then they were all buffed. Ardent censor became a staple for every team comp to the place where you rush it every game.

Adcs then become the most important and uncountable thing in the game. To the place where you have 3 adcs a tank and support as the meta. We got ezreal as a meta pick in the jungle.

Meanwhile cho goth becomes a Juggernaut who can 1 shot adcs. Maybe riot did this because adcs were so broken.

What a Shit show.

They say every year. Actually this was one of the best. Tank meta and ardent havent been fun but there is not a current specific team comp the entire year, nor has there been the likes of Mundo, Kog, Zed that cant be item 3140 for a basic one shot, or old Yasuo ,Darius Nidalee Gangplank, TahmKench ,Illaoi. There has been Twitch Chogath item 3504 Galio . But ill take that over the horror of old mundo and the broken item 3124 era. That was a nightmare. At least ardent people actually cared about support for once.

Rageblade was never broken. You're thinking Dervourer.

I love how Riot talks about interactive design and consistently keeps bruisers down for it, but then keeps letting Jayce, Gnar, Akali, and Pantheon auto win top without counterplay, allow ADCs to deal massive DPS, overbuffed shielding supports, and keep pushing tanks like Maokai to run into a teams with Righteous Glory and perma CC while also being unkillable to anyone who isn't an ADC, and make sure these tanks can't lose lane against the top laners who are supposed to be stronger in the laning phase with Bramble Vest.


Here's a better idea: It's fine for things like DPS from both bruisers and ADCs, tanks melee range CC, and shielding to exist, but they shouldn't be to such a high degree. I know some ADCs are only good with autos, but right now they're just way too good (as the entire class is). Shields can exist, but maybe they shouldn't gain percent heal/shield power on items without their items being nerfed to compensate. Tanks can have CC, but maybe they shouldn't be allowed to perma lock down a target (and Merc Treds should be an option to buy, but they aren't so much right now because most ADCs deal too much DPS that not having Tabi is a death sentence).

I can't help but think about the fact AP ezreal has become a thing again and that's so annoying to deal with when his ult one shots you when you're on the other side of the map as a squishy...
