Lol, Riot keeps trying to tell us the game wasn't as good as we remember it being
But we still have videos of back when the game actually used to be good. Lol

Eve being either a one-shot god or users being banned for playing her, old Yorick, old Kassadin...
Great times I guess, but I'll enjoy this season just fine tbh. I'm having way more fun this season than the past 3.
Except those videos actually show the contrary; They show poor builds from inexperienced players, low damage in favor of tank items on PURPOSE. Most of the Diamond players of Season 3-4 make a Silver III Squirm and confess..... they could have played better.
The itemization and runes right now (with the exception of Conquerer, Guardian, Hail of Blades, Klepto, Spellbook....) aren't all that different from back then.
What's different is which items people actually decide to use, and that all began with Warlord's Bloodlust, and Thunderlord's Decree.
call me odd but I enjoyed the season of Support and Atmogs meta, fights were much more tactical than they are now, honestly it's like they tuned up the damage purposely to try drag in the Battle Royale crowd.
Lemme tell ya Riot, it ain't gonna work.
I mean yeah sure, it means that bot lane has a ton of diversity now since games tend to end by midgame so APCs are highly useful, especially lichbane builders like 
and 
or crazy bursters like 
and 
.
All you had to do there is give them a power curve similar to their marksmen counterparts instead of turning up all damage so the marksmen are obsolete with the exception of 
and 
due to either having great laning or quick/cheap scaling.
Heck it's gotten to the stage where if I want a scaling bot laner, I'm going for over 
and 
because he's generally strong from the moment he gets his first upgrade and has amazing team fight presence even when behind.
That ain't because Viktor is OP, it's because the damage is just way too high.
