Tilted? Eh, maybe a little, but honestly I just feel like in the "meta" for the game today is about 3 things.

1.) How tanky your team is 2.) How much cc your team has 3.) how many thunderlord's your team has

Honestly though, why am I just getting shafted with shitty team comps and poor players on my team?

Games are now decided with the first few kills. Get a bot lane that feeds ? GG...FF@20 cuz there's no coming back now that turrets are easier to kill and minions get stronger for the team that's ahead in levels.

welcome to season 6.. where riot has given up, made thunderlords the GO TO keystone with the killing of warlords, ferver, and having the tanky keystones not worth a shit due to flat penetration in the thunderlords tree.

What riot is failing to do is looking at WHY people are picking the tree and buff other things in the other trees to add some diversity. Who cares about % of armor penetration when games don't last that long to get to where it's useful.

The tenacity change needs to be reverted as it's stupid to be perma stunned even as an irelia with merc treads..

Just pick Amumu and run Thunderlords. He's great vs noobs and has CC as well as tankiness. Problem solved.

The problem is that the tanks with the cc are also the carries. There's just no real point in playing squishies because squishies require team coordination for engage and peel. Why worry about any of that when you can just play a tank do all of that yourself without relying on things like communication, coordination, and teamwork?

Are you queing solo in the new dynamic system and getting pubstomped by premades all day?

I've noticed that in NA morning, especially early mornings (I'm in EST +1 time zone AST) so around 830-900 est the system is taking a very long time matching and then one way or the other the game feels like a complete mismatch.

I have a feeling that a lack of players online at this hour is influencing the matchmaking behind the scenes. I know yesterday I was paired vs a premade of 4 while my team reported all being solo que'd. I don't want to play ranked solo vs 5 people with comms and a coordinated plan so I stopped morning ranked for now. I don't trust the new matchmaking in dynamic que so I'll que only with 3+ people I know are decent.
