"Benched by the meta": community reacts to Rekkles's substitution | News | Cybersport.com

Dear Riot , its fine to remove Banner , its fine to remove Giant Slayer , but was it really usefull to remove every sort of Skillbased Makro ? I knew before 8.11 that this is not going to work out but i did not expected it to be so bad . As soon as I saw the LCK ( Respected for their insane Makro and Skill) playing Boostingstrats like L9 i realised how hard you messed the Game up by changing for the change and not for the Balance. Did Botlane needs some Adjust ? Yes . Is it Adc that needed it ? No, it is Support. We all remember Ardent Meta which was absolutly Botfocused but was it the Adc that was so broken or the Fact that you changed Support. The former Warditems costed 2300 Gold , now it costs up to 1800 and doesnt need to be completed to give you wards. so we have 500 gold more , so only 1800 Gold more for an Ardent which is faster collected cause Support generate more Gold then before . So you are wondering : why cant the Adc die ..is he broken ? Looking at the Fact that Janna and Lulu can Shield you to invulnerability and especially Janna healing up a whole team with r or just Redemption which is insanly cheap for its use for everyone. Yes Riot you nerfed Support in 8.12 which is fine , but you removed CritADC out of the Game before you did this , if you just worked on that far earlier there would be no one to complain, cause you can kill a bad positioned Adc , but now lets look at some Facts out of 1.5 Seasons as Adc , if i Int my Lulu shields the Yi for the Ardent and ults him , no one cares , if Lulu ints we all have a problem which shows how irrelevant Adc is in and out of the lane till minute 25/30 , not only cause the items are to cheap and to good , its also fun that you can be outtraded by a Janna or Lulu or Karma or take whatever Ardent you want. So now next Point on the list , Toplaner said that the Game is harder for them cause they have no Keystone , you gave them Conquerer to not remove Fighter from the Game , is ok and is legit , but now Bruisers are everywhere , Jax goes 0 3 in early builds Tanky , can kill you in a 1 v 2 ..makes no sense Tbh .. why can you play Irelia Top MId Bot and maybe also Jgl , why can you play Yasuo bot mid and top , makes no sense too. Right now out of the most picked Toplaners its 1 Tank ( and thats Mundo who still deals a ton of Dmg and your nerf didnt do anything about the Problem ) , so why is IE with 15 % True Dmg to destroy Tanks if there are no Tanks .. IE is a absolutly useless Item cause for the same amount of gold an ADc gets 80 Ad , a Useless passiv that makes you get 20% crit too much which is a waste of gold and the other passiv is also useless cause as i said , true dmg is for tanks , who do not exist in this Meta . A mage gets a Ludens Echo with 90 Ap , 10% Cdr and 600 Mana and can still buy boots , even if the Mages decides to go Rabadons he gets 120 Ap and a usefull passiv on it , a Fighter gets a Hydra which gives you the Same ad as IE but also Lifesteal and a Usefull Passiv .. i guess the Point is obvious . But lets stay with Items , Stormraizor is a nice thing ..for Assassins .. and not for Adcs , why would a role that should deal consistent Damage wait 3 Seconds for that .. a Rengar or Zed or Kha likes this Item ..but those are not Adcs .. and Essencereaver , ok Lucian is good with it but considering the Use for Renekton Fiora Yi Jax and a lot more its also not an Item worthy to be in an Adc Patch .. so overall , all Items are Garbage and there is a Reason Rekkles benched himself and Doublelift says that funneling sucks and its not really fun to watch for the LCS viewer , in the Link i packed into my Discussion even your Own Workers dont seem so happy about the Meta right now , and also is Tyler1 right when he says that you have to revert crit items , you can keep the Prices for the IE and Zealitems at this rate , or maybe not 600 gold for 10% crit , maybe 500 .. and make Essence Reaver more expensive but give it his old passiv ,but you cant keep Adc at the State it is right now , Crit ADc sucks really badly and you have to do sth about it , cause the more i look into Facebookgroups or Reddit or just talking to friends they all say since 8.11 Soloqueue is more Coinflip then before and it sucks playing league and especially ranked cause its a permafiesta without any balance . So dear Riot , you always wanted to listen to your Playerbase and their wishes and as far as i see the things , looking at groups and reddit and so on , they want a game where you can win through good gameplay , with focused targets and Makrogame , which is impossible without Adcs .. so for the love of your Players ..think about reverting the whole thing , before people quit to play other thing like Fortnite cause they seem to listen very closely to their community ( never played it never will but i heared its kind of nice to play) . Thx for reading and Sapere Aude [sg-lulu]
