Do some people miss season 5?
Or am I just the only one?
Or am I just the only one?
the end of season 5, after they balanced out rework juggernauts is what i miss.
multiple carry classes viable at the same time, including melee bruisers, melee adc, marksmen, mages, assassins. i usually checked the damage dealt after the games and they all tended to tie, without one having noticable more impact than the other, except when one of them was clearly fed.
it felt like every class of champions was somehow relevant and had their place.
balance problems were more with individual champions than the overall state of the game.
games were teamfight oriented, because people didnt avoid them due to excessive death timers and splitpushing minions.
you were able to purchase green wards.
At the time it felt meh. But god it's so much better than now Season 5 may have been boring, but for the most part (barring the disastrous juggernaut update) it was pretty fair

End of season 5 was also when this monster was still around
Pls, I don't like season 6 as much as the other guy, but let's not pretend that ADCs actually did any damage except for the holy trinity of OP adcs
i said there were balance problems with champions individual kits. this includes ryze.
and bullshit. all adc scaled into lategame. its just that there are always some adc who are stronger than the rest of the bunch and thus picked over the rest all the time. its not any different right now.
they all carried and dealt a lot of damage. they just didnt deal more damage than other carry classes.
jinx is still stupid strong at the moment. she wasnt nerfed with any of the preseason changes. in fact essence reaver actually buffed her since the thing allows her to sustain her rockets indefinitely now, without taking away from her dps like the old essence reaver did.
its just that other adc got buffed more than her. the same goes for vayne.
but right now the problem is not even individual champions. its global game mechanics and marksmen itemization that feels broken. and bruiser items being too strong on champions theyre not intended for. (bruiser fiora, bruiser akali...)
youre right that bork was way too strong. but i dont see the difference between that and everyone of them building
right now with obscene amounts of critical strike, or items that make them super safe like mercurial.
I missed hec with the 100-0 with homeguards
New Pleb,
Season 3+4 are the ones that are missed.
Yo, new pleb. Excuse me old pleb I come from season 4 as well :)
Notice how I said 3.
Season 3 was garbage, not something to be missed. Season 4 was the definition of average. The best two seasons were Season 2 and 5 for sure.
Season 2
ah yes. the 5
season.
That was S3. It was right at the start.
Oh god, sorry, i meant to put in sunfire cape... let me fix that real quick
Wrong again, that was S1, was patched out by S2.
kill me now
Positive vibes
the only reason im sticking around is because im waiting for another season 4 probably will never happen or won't happen for a while
Would rather have Mid season 4 after the tank masteries were tuned down and before Ranged top became the meta.
Give us back 4.10 Riot. That was literally the best patch for balance outside of a couple things like Jax being a little strong.
I started playing after Draven was released. In my opinion season 2 was ok (because everything was still new to me), season 3 was great, season 4 was fun at the very end, and season 5 was fun at the beginning - especially toward the end of the Cinderhulk meta right before it got hit again, then the users...again, and then Lee, LB, and Zed were buffed all at the same time "conveniently" before Worlds. Then juggernauts happened...uggghh.
I'd say a few patches into 5 to 5.14 was when I had the most fun. Since then it's been progressively more difficult to log in as time goes on.
True.
I miss season 2. There was hardly any bullshit. Riven was built as a Bruiser, as she should be, Shyvana was good but overlooked, Sejuani was really good, but overlooked. Mundo was hilarious to play against, and there was no stupid amount of mobility.
Also, Heart of Gold, Philo Stone, Force of Nature, Warmogs stacking health and regen per kill, 'man mode' being a term for the usage of all 3 stacking risk items, Leviathan, Sword of the Occult, and Mejai's Soulstealer.
Items were not blatantly fucking retarded, and each nerf/buff was actually thought through, while some, if not most, were generally unappreciated, they were always thought through. It was a great time.
season 4/5 were the most fun i ever had in league. i started out in season 2 but i think the game has just been improving every season.
until this preseason
i genuinely enjoyed league up until then though. it was my favourite game. but season 6 just feels like shit, regardless of whether you win or lose it's not fun at all.
been branching out and trying new games.
Yes. Solo Que.
The main reason I miss season 5 is because it had dominion
Season 2, 3 and 5 after they had balanced Cinderhulk and before they reworked "Juggernauts".
I miss season 4. Fifth season sucked in my opinion.
Remember the gold old days when Riot would literally nerfnuke meta-cancer so you wouldn't have to see them for months (until someone figured out, hey, they are still fuckin awesome
)?
This would leave a gap open for people to figure out what's the second best and a brief respite of people trying all kinds of stuff out before the next God tiers would arrive. Nowadays nerf/buff cycle just seems like they are nerfing the top tier champions relative to each other rather than relative to the rest of the champs in the game keeping the same cancerous monsters permanently locked in the top. Alas meta is stale as shit and incredibly boring.
Pre JuggerLord update. Season 5 was great.
Started playing s5, and as someone who loves mobile assasins, that season was awesome. You had to actually think about when to go in. Plus, everyone felt strong except when against absolute counters.
I miss S5 so much.
Shoot, S6 so boring i miss AP Yi shenanigans (and funny thing, i hated this cause i was the newb doing it. Literally a newb doing this, didnt know it was actually a thing, bit hated fighting one). I miss old TF with teleport on E too XD.
Is it awful? No, but S4 and S5 seemed the most fun. Now i feel less rewarded for doing well.
Maybe might change with future patch. I know it is more bearable than before, but still not as fun.
I miss purple smite (Leona jg was fun XD, now its a bit weirder to pyll off). I miss the more tactical awareness that game had. Now, at least before 6.7 (but i have yet to see a definotive impact of changes), one fight and all is lost for a team. Before you think about objectives, now it is that one good fight.
I miss it.
I miss season 3 more than Season 5.
Personally I miss season 5 jungle, season 4 supports and season 3 mid/top/adc
I miss season 3 back when players in Diamond aren't fucking idiots with bronze map awareness. You remove sight ward and implement same handicap as idiots who refuse to ward and pay attention to map and this is what happens. You get boosted scrubs who have trash mechanics of a bronze getting carried up to diamond not knowing what the fuck they are doing, then bitching and calling others boosted even if you were carrying.
Only the early part of S5, I really miss S3/S4.
Late season 3 all of season 4 early season 5
what season 5 lol? season 3 best season!
Or am I just the only one?
I still hear S4 AND S5 calling my name every day. If nothing else, just to get rid of the cancerous 4-ADC comps running rampant.
I miss season 4 ;-;
I miss season 3-4.... Everything was so close to perfectly balanced and the player base was so much less toxic. And Riot actually listened to people. Now were stuck with whatever riot feels like doing. Which at this point, nobody knows. "Lets release this op thing" Then the community responds with "No pls" and riot is basically just like, "Screw you were releasing this."
first season of lol i ever played i liked it except for vayne being pick ban which was annoying it got boring just seeing her
Well it depends, as I miss it compared to season 6 Yes. Overall I didn't like season 5 on the whole, but more so than this season.
I like PARTS of season 5, but I like 4 more than 5, and 3 more than 4 (on the whole, but there are still parts to each that were annoying and frustrating).
i miss dominion , i miss solo q , i miss wards ...
I do. It was my starting season, it's all I know! Except for season 6 which I really don't like...
My first games were played in the end of season 4, but as the newbie I was I didn't care for anything but bot games at the time, didn't play ranked before May last year. :/ Something which I regret, seeing as a lot of people liked season 4.
I have a bad memory when it comes to these things. I think Season 5 we got a map update. Season 4 there was quill coat which gave tank jungles another thorn mail option. Uhh, I think I remember Graves's original autos, think w was still the blinding thing, E was a dash that gave resistances and attack speed, ultimate was pretty much the same, passive gave more defensive stats(I think) and his Q was. I don't remember. Oh yeh, Season 3 also had me constantly building Eleisa's Mracle on Ashe because I was new. Was good.

here is the thing i never understood. why is there only one ap jungle item?
i mean there are two ad jungle items with devourer and warrior. one for auto attackers and one for caster type ad champs. a jungler like yi or xin would buy devourer, a jungler like pantheon would buy warrior.
caster kits are very diverse. and the problem with ap jungle items always seemed to be that they favoured one group of ap champs more than another. either pure casters like fiddlesticks and karthus, or auto attacking casters like ap assasins (diana).
so why didnt they just make two ap jungle items? there was no reason for runeglaive and magus not to exist at the same time. especially since there was no reason to ever stack those items. so they didnt risk any unintended synergy between the items anyways.
I miss the first 80% of season 5.
Juggernauts ruined that shit.
Now we have this stale ass GARBAGE META.
Everything that builds certain items is a juggernaut, Riot seems to be satisfied, and proceeds to nerf champions because of items.
You'd think they'd learn from Ezreal.
