One Sided Games Of Season 8

Games are almost always decided by: A. Junglers B. Junglers C. Junglers

Games are uncarryable in Season 8 and really shows how little impact you have as a player. Before the game even starts the game is already decided. Is your jungler autofilled against a jungler main? GG. Is your jungler playing something non meta? GG. Theres no impact in this game and its annoying as shit. You cant win lane and use it to your advantage. You cant 1v9 anymore which makes it pointless for even learning the game. Nowadays if you wanna rank up, you need luck and just keep playing. Last season I was diamond 1, and I was looking at where some of the other players are this season. Majority of them are stuck in plat elo. Explain to me how Diamond 1 players from season 7 and previous season arent able to make it out of plat season 8? If you answered "Because games arent skill dependent anymore", then ding ding ding we have a winner.

People are losing because of the one person that is going 3/13 (etc), refuses to communicate, refuses to cooperate and just keeps making stupid plays. You can be 14/2 as a Kat otp, you still cant carry. You can be 15/5 as a Jayce otp, still cant carry. Champions that are literally designed for snowballing and winning games cant carry because of these reasons:

  1. Damage is STILL too high since preseason started. You can be 11/3 and still die 1v1 to a 3/7 Garen because Garen presses Q R ignite and you die instantly. This makes it to where carrying isnt even a thing anymore when you cant 1v1 someone when youre insanely fed.
  2. Resolve or people that build health in general can out damage full damage. People who build like this, Trinity Force, then tank items are what im talking about.
  3. You cant 1v2 at the same time unless youre tanky. Back then youd see montages of Rivens being able to 1v5 when theyre fed, now a riven cant even 1v2 because everyone does stupid damage.

Champions in this games all went from having a unique play style, to 1-2 playstyles. Youre either an Assassin (bursts squishys in .99 seconds) now, or a Bruiser (Can deal big damage take big damage). Hell when you have champions like Malphite, Poppy, Sion, Cho, Trundle, Yorick, etc, taking Ignite in the top lane over Teleport, you know this game is screwed. Thats another thing, you cant 1v1 someone that takes ignite now because ignite does 1/4 of your health as damage. Its bloody insane.

In fact, you can solo carry the most of your games but you need to be: -Challenger-high diamond jungler -Challenger-high diamond midlaner to fk every other mid laner -OTP god X champion from a solo lane Or -Duo And you still will be winning 60-65% of your games kek But the game still feels so unrewarding for performing better than the opposite laner of your same role and every other player in your team lol

This post is spot on. Idk about the “jungler” stuff. Other lanes decide games just as much in most of my games. However, you’re 100% right about the damage, and room for skill expression being significantly lower.

Damage is beyond absurd right now. Everyone is bursting everyone. It’s become like a fast paced fighting game, instead of a stratgic game. I also remember in previous seasons, how you’d be able to tank the majority of damage just by being so ahead in levels, and be able to 1v2 or 1v3. It doesn’t matter anymore. I can be 10-0 on , and i can die to almost anything unless i’m a bruiser/tank. It’s beyond stupid. You used to need a massive lead to burst people. That’s out the window now. Everyone has free burst. EVEN supports and tanks. Back in the day, in the mid-late game you’d be able to ignore the damage of a supp/tank if you were fed, even as a squishy carry. Nowadays the supp or tank will kill you (or almost kill you) in one rotation.

The other major issue i have, is how dumbed down the game has become. With things like stronger Baron buff, rift herald and other “win more when ahead” mechanics that almost guarantee that the team that gets ahead will win, you barely have to do anything to win, it’s like the game just auto wins for you once your team gets ahead ..

Mad cuz bad lol, you're just salty that your champion isn't busted like in s7.

I don't care if you were d1 before, a lot of d1 players made it back, but only you are complaining

Who builds Trinity and then only tank items? Which character does this? I've only seen people build Trinity>Steraks>tank or in all divers case, Trinity>Steraks>Titanic. That is a lot of dmg and very expensive items too.

Wtf is this post? Yes Junglers have the most impact in the game in S8 but solo carrying is as good as it gets with this season. When the hell has the game been less team relient than what it is currently? Like season 4? Name any other champion other than Garen who can straight up 1v1 you while being so far behind. Garen does this because of his villain mechanic but no other character can do this unless they've farmed up to the point where they are ahead (which, you being D1 know very well you shouldnt allow to happen). Btw, Riot have stated that they want the laning phase to go longer (so congratz your champ is getting indirectly buffed), they also want less team snowballing.

I'm damn sure if mid or top had the most impact this huge ass wall text of rant wouldn't have happened. Like just cut the crap and say ''I find it stupid how junglers decide most games''. Instead of ranting about how MELEE bruisers outdamage Jayce in a MELEE fight (which should be that way).
