I'm getting sick of these games that are determined by how just one lane goes

All the other lanes could be doing fine, even being a little ahead in farm and kills, but because just one lane is 0/3 inside ten minutes, the game's already over because thanks to Rift Herald + Turret Plates (remind me again why this even exists?) + the Demolish rune + just absurd damage in general, that lane's already lost the outer and inner turrets by 15 minutes.

For me, this seems to be happening to top lane the most, because that's where the Rift Herald spawns, so it's really easy to snowball even more until the game is over. And you're STILL going out here and buffing champions like Riven and Fiora which already snowball hard enough but you need them to be strong for Worlds or whatever because the rest of your playerbase doesn't matter to you anymore.

It's just becoming so easy to snowball now. I think you need to remove turret plating, honestly why are they even a thing they just made it even more impossible to come back when behind. Also you need to remove keystones, and I'm not even taking the piss. The game started going downhill in season 6, and that just so happens to be when keystones were introduced. Work that one out. They just give us an unnecessary amount of damage and make sure teamfights end within 5 seconds of starting. What happened to the slow-paced League of Legends we all used to love? Arcane comet. Summon Aery. Electrocute. Dark Harvest. Conqueror. Why do we need them? The game was doing just fine in season 5 where damage was perfectly balanced and then you decide to get rid of all of that and give us a ridiculous amount of one shots. Yeah I know I'm going off-topic but I wanted to talk about keystones too because they've ruined this game and I don't think a lot of people realise that.

That's called the rito balance team, no regard for fun, no regard for good gameplay, no regard for player feedback, just a bunch of rejects from actual good game companies that came here and ruined this game too.

Yep, just look at this blitz buff. and the rene buff, and the lee sin buff, and akali and the jax buffs. They have no idea what to do they just try to make the game least fun possible.

Errr. All the keystones you mention were introduced at preseason 8 with the RR system.

Before that we had the masteries that were NOWHERE near as impactful.

P.S. Why is "impactful" not a word? the red underline makes me so mad :@

everyone keeps saying top lane has no agency or whatever, so rito are giving it agency.

No. It’s entirely top laners saying they have no agency.

All while shitting on every other lane from every angle possible.

All they want to do is set up worlds. They don't care about anything else, they care about money. And money is fine and all, but when you don't give a shit about your customer base (because they sure as shit don't see us as anything other then just that; customers) then you have a problem.

I figured in season 11 or 12 they may just rig the espots events, they're already trying to push what they want in them as is. That's the next step, and they don't at all seem to be above it.

Solo lanes + jungle decide the first 25 minutes.

If one lane soft ints, it's near impossible.
