Meta is killing this game.

Hi guys. I'm not going to place there any introduction. You can't deny that your game prosper really bad. Do you know why? You make champions, which are unable to outplay like Zoe. Playing against her is so frustrating and another thing is that she can be even behind, but still enable to one shot someone. Next thing: There is no joy of playing assasin. For example Zed. You guys have added so much form of cc that kills assasins. I can't go in with Zed to just kill adc- I will get Camille R on my face, 234342 CC from Rakan and i won't be able to cast my R to go back to my shadow. Another thing: Lee Sin was a symbol of your game and You removed warding item. I know that you can buff him enough to increase his win rate, but many mechanical players won't have occasion to try in-sec and other spectacular plays.

And, in my opinion, it's impossible to carry game alone, when you get 3213 CC, 2000 dmg combo from 0-5 Zoe. In past I played League, because i knew that if i was enough good, I would reach high division. When i was losing i knew that i should have played better. Actually I feel like I play faultlessly, but despite that everything depends on my team. I realize that It's a team game, but helplessness is too perceptible. Do you know, why HotS isn't popular? Because your impact on game is really small. It's starting to look the same in League.

What can you do? Increase snowball effect, "nerf cc", stop releasing champions which are difficult to understand (Le'Blanc rework[Her new R XDD]). Stop killing this game. JPDG

Most of the reworked tanks have disgusting amounts of CC too. Take Zac for instance. He can jump on you from over 1000 range then CC you for years and you can't even reduce it by tenacity because they're all knockups.

They've added way too much CC to the game recently.

I still have no clue why they removed sightstone.

100% True, but Rito won't listen to us :(

A champion unable to play like Zoe whos entire kit involves skill shots, no mobility and an ult that telegraphs where shes going and where she'll be entirely that she can't get out of?

Man that's like NO counterplay dude.

Cant believe people out there circlejerk on how a purely skillshot based mid laner who isn't op in anyway factually right now is op meanwhile we have adcs as a literal class requirement in every game for years and their damage is 99 percent unmissable autos and silence.

Also op since you like zed, zed is factually speaking stronger than Zoe right now. Most would say he is a harder champion and he still has around the same winrate and about two times higher pickrate than the zoe you cry about who has "no counterplay"

Oh yeah, everything should be as strong as everything else in every situation. Now we can play what we want, when we want it, and there's no strategic element involved in team comp at all. Now we can all skip through a field of daisies without any competitive element!

Supports are suppose to protect their team.

What are they suppose to do? See an assassin and abandon the teammate to let the assassin kill them?

I agree that there is too much cc in the game now. Me and my friends got rolled recently in TT because a Gnar Lux Udyr team had infinite cc.

I remember a time when all you had to worry about was Morgana, and the rest of the cc meta was okay to deal with (except maybe Blitzcrank). Basically, all you had to do was dodge a skill shot, and Morgana's projectile speed on her Q is slow moving compared to other champs. These days it's near-instant cc.

But hey, I don't play ranked, so I don't study counterplay.

I'm seeing way too many games without any supports on the enemy's team comp, because they don't need one. I'm seeing double bot lanes and ap carries wrecking up the lane.

Zed is the most toxic assassin in the game want proof? His WR is 49% yet he has the highest ban rate in the game (just before Yasuo go figure). zed is in that group of champions that any time they are meta they are busted as fuck. Why? because the way his kit is designed if zed kills you lvl 1-6 you lose lane. 1 kill and zed will smash your shit into the ground until he takes your tower solo AKA zed in low elo has seemingly 0 counter play , a free excape and is frustrating for players to fight against.

Zed at high elo is dog shit. Why? because his kit actually has a shit load of counter play that if you understand how they play and what they will try to do is easily countered like camping when he hits lvl 6 or just starting with the hourglass rune. Plus zeds teamfight and end game are flat out dog shit.

Plus the ban rates dont lie Zed and Yasuo are the most hated champions in the casual community (which greatly out numbers the ranked playerbase) meaning he wont get buffed till riot figures out how to make him more dealable. Which wont happen unless hes reworked because his kit just flat out doesnt allow for any way to make him less frustrating to play or play against. Hes like the polar opposite of Ryze.

He has the highest ban rate from gold all the way down to normals yet has never been banned in the pro league this year and has been played once in the LLN and no where else. Zed is an extremely rough champion to balance.

End rant about zed.

remember the days when all you had to worry about was amumu, malphite, and old alistar?

Hem, proof ?

Not Zoe. ( Her passive and, W passive damage are dumb, but most of her damage can be worked around)

Camille R combined with her E is un-avoidable. Sejuani E (stun) is un-avoidable. ADC auto-attack are un-avoidable (and deadliest) Enchanter shield are un-avoidable.

My sincere wish for a brighter future in league : Make everything skillshot, like Battlerite and I heard Smite works this way too.
