What changes were the worst this year

People collectively have hated most of the major changes made to the game this year, and im not going off the boards for this stuff like the scuttle crab changes, crit item reworks addition of conqueror were all points of ridicule at the time for many content creators and professional players.

The only reason the crit items work now is item 3095 was buffed beyond all reason along with cost decreases on crit itemization in general, initially it killed the adc roll completely for like 4 patched. Conqueror released with irelia a match made in the literal fires of hell, the champ wasn't even remotely balanced on release that keystone just multiplied the issue. Changing aatrox into a q centric character so now all his power is front loaded into one ability despite him finally finding a niche in the meta pre rework as a sustain auto attacker.

Scuttle being the focal point of the jungle meaning if you don't have the power to contest another jungler i.e. the guy who picked Graves Khazix Evelynn etc. you are shit out of luck because those decide if you reach level 3 or not in a timely manner.

Worlds buffs nuff said.

Making jungler camps require 4/scuttle crab for level 3.

Fucked a ton of junglers, and makes the behind jungler significantly harder to catch up as and makes the snowballing one have complete priority everywhere on the map.

They should've just increased lane XP early on if they wanted level 3s before ganks.

This ^^. Due to changes with Runes Reworked, so many capable junglers were trashed. The change to XP just burried even more. Any champ that had a slow initial clear can just be invaded all day and screwed over too easily. Just pick the same few junglers every game or lose.

Runes reforged.

Making scuttle a major objective.

I personally liked 8.11 because Swain bot is fun as hell paired with a Morgana or Leona.

The Baron nerf.

4 weeks of Baron being powerful, feeling like an actual Boss you have to fight against as a team. So much for that.

8.11. The entirety of 8.11.
