Yeah, those were good times. It's too bad that they've been almost completely replaced by team composition and counter-picks.
Does Riot even have any plans to fix this? I shouldn't be encountering players in Master tier who have zero map awareness or decision making skill. It's kind of sad.
Only Play Darius2 votesWell I was thinking more about 
ruining it.
Who cares about knowing where the enemies are when you can just Teleport into a fight when they pop out of unwarded jungle? Who cares about being competent at top lane trading mechanics when you can just sit under turret and wait for your fed midlaner to teleport and win lane for you? Who cares about side lane pressure when the enemy team will dive yours 5v4 and end the game instantly?
It's like personal skill doesn't matter anymore. Just pick a champion that is good at teamfighting, lose lane, then teleport repeatedly and win every single teamfight.
Xarthan1 votesPlayers in Master Tier usually have the above mentioned abilities if they didn't they might have simply been script kiddies
BluePolarizer1 votesmaster players in general already should have map awareness, mechanics, positioning and decisions down. Now the make or break is gonna be team comps and counterpicks because even the gold advantage from a Kalista sentinel pre-minion spawn can be snowballed on (sort of joking. not really.)
Zair Umbras1 votesYou're encountering Master tier as a Plat?
If you're talking about Normals though, it's because they don't try much in normals. Some people have a relax mode and a tryhard mode and they're not going to try their hardest in a normal. I know when I play team builder or blind, I'm not trying super hard.
