Its hard to Believe but Season 9 just got worse than 8
This is completely objective. In the beginning of season 9 there was a lot of room for game improvement. Sadly, Riot has taken this whole season and did what we expected. They ruined it half way through. All the champion buffing and nerfing then using the excuse of a compensation buff when the buff is stronger than the nerf is a punch to the gut every two weeks. Stop buffing the simple champions and stop making overloaded new champions. This game is dictated by who can deal the most dmg now. Towers are weak and champions get 140 ad as an adc before 9 minutes. A lot of mages are now getting above 100 ap before 8 minutes. Tanks are just useless unless you go sej and a very very few tank junglers other than sej. Games are still only lasting 20 minutes or 25. Every champion who is killing it right now are champions with 56% win rate and above at the 20 minute mark. Where is the strategy when I see three mages, one bruiser and one adc comp. Its not healthy for the game. Amumu and sej are really annoying but only as junglers. Top lane gets increasingly worse with each bruiser getting new mechanics to stomp tanks. Why didnt you guys just keep nerfing. Every time you nerf more than you buff the game gets more healthy. Most champions are just unplayable in this meta. ADC's got their braindead IE and Essence Reaver back only to see they still hate playing the role because of the insane burst damage that they cannot deal with unless they sac a dmg item for GA or scimitar. Tanks are being forced to go thronmail every game because of the bruisers drain tank meta. Pen items make building any armor or mr just flat out pointless. It takes 3 items of armor just to hit 70% resistance, but when you throw in a Lord D in there. It just resets your percent armor back to level 1 stats. Junglers are camping too hard to make laning actually meaningful and Gold plating overall gives 2,400 gold to the opposing team. The bounty system punishes people for doing well too much. Riot for the good of this game please just keep nerfing. Once you see the champions or items that are allowing the outliers to not be affected by nerfs then just rework those items and champs. Stop throwing shit at the fan and seeing what pattern it will make and deciding what voodoo ritual will commence in order to figure out what needs nerfs or what "needs buffs".
back to the rift, no one even asked that this get removed way back then.
