Healing meta

So we should discuss the thing that we all agreed to never discuss again. The healing meta.

Anyone else remember when soraka could heal for 120 hp level 1? Oh, should I also mention it was on a 4 second CD? Should I also mention that you had items that weren't for damage dealers that healed you in combat?

So why do we insist that damage dealers are the only ones that get late game fantasies? I find it super boring to get hit twice and die. All I get to do from there is wait until I respawn so I can die that fast again. One of the best memories of league I have is being chased around jungle as mundo. No it wasn't that I was unkillable, its that I had just enough hp regen that I could walk out of a fight, press R, and then walk in.

Now days I ask myself, what is walking out of a fight? It is really funny how warmogs was meant to be the premier tank item. However, unlike deathcap, and iedge it was never purchased.

I know that this post is likely to get downvoted, but I'd just prefer to remember a happier time in league where every champion felt better to play. A time before Lee Sin, and a time where you started with 300 MS. Back when alistar could deal 75% bonus damage to towers, and towers could be fortified. When back dooring didn't mean taking minions.
