I know it's pretty general, but for me that feeling's set in and stuck since the end of Season 5. I think that was really the tipping point where the game becacme unrecognizeable from itself and the damage spiraled out of control.
If there were Season 2-5 private servers for this game I can't say I'd come back to the normal one again.
I too would prefer damage creep to be undone so that the game could be fun again.

I still remember the time when I first bought my favorite champion, and next was to decide what specific rune to use for my champion. I looked into guides in MobaFire, every guide has different runes setup, it's about the rune. I still remember the time when I tried to make some special rune page with some off-meta stats or utility. I felt excited. The moment of excitement when I first completed a full rune page for the champion, I felt blissfully satisfied. Playing more, getting more IP, and buy the rune that the champion needed. It's like equipping your champion with your own customization.
But..now I have lost my precious interest of the game even if I tried hard to get back the feeling. Lack of customization room for new rune reforge system can hardly encourage me to play the game, except for the daily first win reward or missions. Old rune system was some achievements that I could feel satisfied in the game. Now I miss the old rune system.
All ik is i'm soon to be permabanned again after 2 years of beeing clean because of all the AiDsC in my games and their love buddies with 0 interactivity.
Preach brother!
No, I just cut back on my play time a lot. Gives me more time for other things that are actually fun, not a game I kept playing with false hopes of broken things being fixed.
For me it's better than it's ever been and I played during / before Season 1. The old Annie / Ryze / Leblanc / Warwick were NOT fun to play against (only Annie with flash up remains a problem in my opinion). The game has shifted away from having champions that are very similar to DotA heroes and for me, that's a good thing (as an old DotA veteran). I grew weary of the BKB-or-bust meta that DotA has always shifted around and sitting in 10 second long CC chains (with most of them being point-and-click) isn't my idea of fun.
Damage does feel very high right now and I think that base health / mr / armor should be raised globally to make up for the lack of runes.
I think I'd cry if I had the chance of playing Mordekaiser again.
the end of season 5 was the best state the game had been in probably ever.
it was the time just when juggernauts were balanced out after skarn and mordes initial overtuned releases. around that time i noticed that you could be the carry of the game wherever and whatever you played.
if your bot lane sucked and you were coming out ahead of the lane phase as the bruiser on top lane, you could take over and carry your team. if the marksman down there won, he could carry just aswell. same for a lot of mid laners. it was really only a lot of mages who have been lacking at that point in time. that could have been fixed if it was properly addressed.
the turning point where the game really turned into a shitshow was the marksman update (which uneccessarily buffed the hell out of them) and gobal mechanics changes around the starts of season 6 and 7 which ended the clearly drawn out games with defined early-, mid- and lategames and turned the game into a snowbally clown fiesta.
increased death timers, split pushing minions, global gold changes, fucking turret first blood. this is where riot really went wrong and killed the game that we loved, in their persuit of faster and more casual games.
trying to bandaid the resulting snowball with catch up xp, and early/midgame buff of lategame scaling champions made everythign worse. half assed reworks to assassins and tanks that were way too big of a scope played a minor role in this, but still added on top of the terrible global mechanics changes.
in fact all the class updates after the juggernaut update which only affected 4 champions, were way too big of a scope for the balance team to handle.
Waiting for them to unfuck
I just want to be able to play SR without being forced to play something I don't like. I feel like you can't even main something for this season, you just have to spam "korea strat lmao my father faker" in order to win.
