I quit Ranked for a while - enjoying normals until balance is right

The balance right now is not the worst it has been (Juggernauts!), but right now it is extremely annoying champs that are OP - namely autoattacking junglers with Stated/Guinsoos/Tank items. If Master Yi reaches 25 mins with Stated, the game is over - the "CC him" doesn't work anymore since he is so tanky. The only way to win is having an equally retarded champ as your jungler. And midlane is frankly unplayable when Zed is around - last time i played vs him i went 2-0, he bought Hexdrinker and proceeded to faceroll me.

I mostly play (long range) mages, and they are pretty much garbage now. No matter how well i farm, how many people i kill ect, by 15 minutes everybody on the enemy team has Abyssal/Maw and i cannot do anything, i deal absolutely no damage before 4+ items - needless to say, it's so hard to carry under these conditions. It doesn't help that the non-mages i play are (kind of) gutted right now (Talon, Tahm, Jayce).

But instead of quitting the game, normals is the way to go for me. I can ban annoying champs much more freely (Zed every time!), and i can practice other champs. And if you are full premade, you can always /d in fountain if the enemy picked Fiora, Yi, Tryndamere, Kalista and Alistar - dont put up with bullshit like that!

I hope Riot will soon balance the game (also so the meta gets better for me personally). If you feel the same way, i suggest you just practice something new in normals, preferably with some friends so you can have fun while doing it - the game is still amazing when you don't get frustrated :)

I hear you. That is what I did. Norm is frustrating but not as bad. Screws up my rank season and I am sure next season will be worse.

In the 4-5 years I've been playing this game. Never once has every champion been 100% balanced. Someone will always be stronger than the rest. That's just how the world works. Adapt to the current meta or lose, but don't whine about balance. It's just out of your control and a waste of time.

Thats what i am doing by playing normals! Its just funny that all champion i play now are either weak or garbage tier: Xerath Ziggs Syndra Jayce Talon TahmKench Lucian Tristana there is a fair bit of diversity, but all are just in a sad state simultaneously

Lucian weak/garbage tier? What the hell is your idea of balance?

He is on the weak side. Better ADCs include Jhin, Kogmaw, Sivir, Graves, Quinn, and probably also Twitch, Ashe, Ezreal, Corki and MF. There are not many ADCs left now - so yes, he is "weak". Not anywhere near garbage tier, but weak.

Yes he can do a lot of damage, but there are so many overbuffed ADCs he pales in comparison
