Thoughts on Runes reforged and the current META after almost 1 year of the live release.
Any of ya'll remember when s6 runes where a thing, the clean runes that featured warlords bloodlust, fervor of battle, thunderlords and just downright, consistent and diverse runes that brought out the true feel of a champions kit? yea me neither since all s8 has been getting one shot by conqueror, one shot by dark harvest and just not being able to do any damage because it's all just conquerer being played. Want to play an adc in this META? Too bad because all riot seems to care about is forcing the META to change. The META we all loved so much with good team fights that actually required wit to win them? with 80% of the current adc's just not viable anymore because we seem to take mordekaiser and urgot botlane doesn't that seem a bit funny to you? What was so hard to understand old runes and masteries that required riot to start baby feeding them. you want runes and masteries to be available at lvl 1 to help new players? instead of changing them, make them free from lvl 1. Nothing was wrong with them, they weren't overpowered compared to the 'Diverse' current rune system we have which I don't even think are runes and masteries, its pretty much masteries boiled down to be called runes. Let's just talk about it, I know no matter how much the community says the new runes are garbage you won't change it because you put too much time and effort into making it. Stop changing the META with META changing updates like making ADC's obsolete and turning Akali into a walking tower damage denier. Go back to season 4 where the game was actually fun and enjoyable because season 4 was a pinnacle of a good game, not what it is now, just unfun and might as well be called grey screen simulator since you get blown up without being able to react. Season 8 advice? Revert to Old runes and masteries, make it harder to lvl 2 tower dive and just actually listen to the community instead of using the balancing teams personal opinion and whats played in worlds. No one wants to follow worlds META. Simple. [zombie-brand-mindblown]
P.S No one wants a worlds pass, didn't the Chinese overlords work that out last year?
