My message to whoever decided to change vision
Go to hell. AS A MID LANER THESE VISION CHANGES ARE TERRIBLE I BARELY HAVE ENOUGH TO PROTECT MYSELF FOR 60 SECONDS LET ALONE ALL LANE PHASE. I AM IN SITUATIONS WHERE THE JUNGLERS DETERMINE WHO WINS LANE ITS NOT THE MID LANERS ANYMORE, ITS WHO GANKS OR WHO DOESNT, AND THERES NEVER ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE I CANT. SEE. IT. COMING.
And i fucking hate it. I am completely reliant on my jungler to either provide me with some of his vision (if he is so gracious), for him to gank my lane for me, or for the other jungler to not come mid ever. I liked playing mid because it was 9/10 times the most intense, but now its just a farm fest until the jungler shows up. It's not mid anymore. It's "who can abuse the enemy mid laner because it's impossible for him to provide sufficient ward coverage to protect himself" (If that's what you were going for trying to emulate the LCS, good job, you've successfully killed the entire point of mid lane for me).
It is costing me games, I had one yesterday where I'm pretty sure the jungler spent more time mid than in the jungle. Naturally of course, theres also trash talk i get from people who are 0/0/3 because their jungler is babysitting them, and it infuriates me to no end because every time by the end game I am either up in CS, damage dealt, or both.
Then theres also the problem of what to do when you are behind AFTER lane phase. You cannot leave your towers (which even then aren't safe). The support is usually the only one with a sightstone, the yellow trinket takes farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too long to recharge so everyone else has the blue trinket, which are completely useless because they are cleared in 1/2 a second. So basically the support is either warding your defensive line, and any hope of pushing a tower, getting vision into the enemy jungle, contesting objectives (asides from a mircale steal perhaps), are completely out of the question, or they are warding such spots and its like walking through a minefield to make the rotations these wards provide.
According to WardScore, I ward more than about 60% of the "recorded players" on average (http://wardscore.loltools.net/?name=Lancir&region=oce). Before these bullshit changes i was in the 80s, so believe me when i say i know what i'm talking about, because the removal of stealth wards was disgustingly cruel.
- Has literally made my mid lane life the easiest thing ever. You get to ward for bot and top without leaving lane. The new vision changes are fine.
