patch 8.20 is a sorry excuse of a patch.

This patch was literally riot spitting on our faces and telling us yeah we care about pro play more than we care about solo queue players . Akali the most agreed on Perma banned or picked champ is still not nerfed even tho not one sane person higher than diamond who doesnt lie because he abuses her ever said she was balanced, i currently abuse her and im sick of it and i feel disgusting but if im going to ban graves and urgot i need to pick her. Graves : 3 base AD nerf ? really ? does that even matter for a jungler that kites his camps(while pushing them away from him) ? u delayed his clear by 3 autos wow u got us riot games. Urgot still not nerfed , the most picked, played and abused champ in pro play and high elo or low elo people who watch streams and decide to abuse him to wins (not long ago i lost lane to a silver urgot as riven when im a diamond riven player because hes just impossible to put behind , yeah i got two solo kills on him early but it didnt matter at all when he hit 6 and got some items even tho i had more items, but what do i know im only diamond the silver urgot must've been better than me .unlucky.i still won the game and carried it by actually doing good engages since silvers misposition alot and are easy to get picks on even the silver urgot but hey in 1 v 1s he's the better superior mechanical player.) leblanc ? irelia ? kaisa ? why are tanks that have no mobility and gap closers still running faster than mobility champs ? (righteous glory and dead mans, healthy items.) why are immobile adcs dealing less damage than mobile adcs ? if they're less safe shouldnt they get a compensation ? draven has mov speed hes not immobile and he does more damage than all the other adcs ? quinn is still obnoxious no matter how hard u nerf her, just get rid of the mov speed or lower her range or something. the game now ends in champ select if there's any balance by any luck and both teams were equal in skill, people with more busted champs win. pro play now is literally the most boring shit ever idk how anyone watches it , picks are foreseen always and no excitement whatsoever is there. I remember when it was possible in lcs to expect sudden picks , like when we used to wait eagerly for bjergsen to play zed because the game wasnt as broken as it is now, and when huni surprised us with the riven pick . but now ? not a single pro player would risk playing a fun champ if hes not meta because it's a definite loss.sad state of both the game and pro play even if u play around it riot games. seriously, sad.

You realize that 8.20 has literally 0 to do with pro play, right?

Pros won't even play on that patch.

Hard to disagree when it's been like that all season. Probably the reason why players are leaving and Rito's so eager to pump out "it's on" and "go noobs" videos to advertise themselves.

It's exhausting to even play the game in its current state anymore. Throughout the years diversity in nearly all lanes and in the game in general has dwindled and champions like sona, kog maw, sivir, azir, bard, cass, ziggs, etc just don't see play anymore because there are far safer and better options which can do their job just as well if not better. Only time I ever play is with friends, otherwise I don't touch the game because it's honestly fighting your team more than it is fighting the enemy with all the toxicity going around.

Let's hope Rito wakes up this upcoming season or I'm going to be playing less than I already do.

This, ladies and gentlemen is what peak performance looks like. Complaining about Riots balancing around proplay.. on a patch which wont come through on proplay.

If only you would listen to what Riot says you wouldn't be so surprised by lack of major meta changes since they have clearly stated that they are not planning on making any changes that could affect the current meta, instead of talking crap about things Riot said that they wouldn't do better criticise the FPS issues that low end and high end machines experience for past 6-8 patches however this patch is especially bad that people who usually run on 200+ FPS drop to 40FPS.
