And so we come to the end of probably the worst season of League to date
And I'm pretty much just talking my own personal experience here but let's just run down all the things in order if I can remember them.
It started with Jarvan being super super strong for some reason that I can't fully remember and that meant he was perma banned or insta picked which means I almost never got to play him. To fix that, you both nerfed him, HARD and you simultaneously nerfed the items that had made him strong in the first place, basically taking him from s tier jungle to shit tier anything.
So unable to buy a win with my main, I just started spamming Garen. At least with Garen you can have a ball just smashing your face into the keyboard and screaming at the top of your lungs and running around like a mad man getting incredibly dizzy. So that was somewhat amusing. Then you brought in the Juggernauts. I didn't get to play Garen again for about 4 months and Jarvan was still trash.
He's still pretty bad now, truth be told, thanks for the pitiful 2 base armor you gave me back while I contend with fucking tryndemere criting me for a million damage at level 2 and healing back half his health bar, or Jax doing 7 billion aoe hybrid damage with his absurdly over powered rage blade. The 2 armor is really making a noticeable difference to my game play. It's very possible for me to go 8-0 off the start and still lose just because of how badly Jarvan scales with fucking anything, which you know, would be fine if it weren't for the fact that bullshit like Fiora and Jax and Tryndemere and a bajillion other things are out there who can get the items they need to reasonably outscale Jarvan in 15 minutes of average skill farming. Do you expect me to win in 15 minutes Riot?
And you give them all the tools they need to come back from the deficit that I put them in WHEN I can outplay them and I NEED to outplay them because Jarvan doesn't beat ANYBODY in a straight up damage contest. And even so, I have about 15 minutes to win the game before I have to rely on my team mates to carry.
My martial Cadence no longer damages through Jax' E anymore. Thanks for that. You fucking pricks.
Anyways, what's my rambling point here.
My point is, this has been a very shitty season. From one stupid boring rage inducing meta to another with multiple game breaking patches, none of them favoring Jarvan, the only thing in this dumb game that I still care about. Maybe this will be the year I finally kick this addiction. Maybe.
, charm them and let my tanks do the job.
I was fine with cinderhulk being op.
and kite them for days.
Runeglaive mid was stupidly broken but
counters
. I could still win games.
Devourer was (and still is) a sad item to see on the enemy team but
