Stop saying Season 5 is super balanced

It's a stupid circlejerk, botlane is completely stagnant and it was 10 times better in season 3 (on the other hand pretty much every other position was quite bad)

I'm still waiting for poke/sustain supports to be somewhat relevant in competitive once again after 2 whole years.

Not even talking about MF, Twitch, Kog, Varus (as ADC), Quinn.

When Shen support is more viable than Sona, Soraka, Lulu and Zyra (and you could argue Nami too, but i'm not 100% sure about that), you know botlane is a huge mess and should be addressed ASAP.

Back then there was only ever 2~3 adcs that were ever good and the rest were basically worthless, this was also the same for jungling and basically everything thing else
Just because a champion isn't strong in a role you want them to be doesn't mean they are bad
Sona, Soraka, Zyra have had top winrates as supports for ages in soloq, LuLu had been oppressive as a solo laner and all win more often than Shen. Nami is the only one that loses more than 50% of the time, which is funny since G&B swears Nami is a better version than Sona.

Stop worrying so much about what pros play, each region plays entirely different than our soloq games. A lot of the champions they pick have very poor performance in soloq and only serve to be an annoyance while losing majority of their games.

Support is miles better than it was in season 3. We have gold and items now and a free ward! In solo-queue you can support tons of different people and do well unlike season 3. You can't compare competitive to solo queue in some regards.

Competitive is a whole different world from solo-queue. It's a world where both side lanes go 1v2. The "top laner" is better off following around the jungle than staying in his lane. The ADC is not expected to fight at all. The support spends most of his time roaming.
