This Game is Past It's Prime

I think we all know this tbh. League in s3 and s4 were probably the best the game has been. And there are a few things that riot has introduced that has made this game...not as fun.

**New Champions ** Ok let's get something straight, newcoming champs these days are horrible. Their kits are driven by the same thing each time a new one comes around. Almost EVERY champ after Jinx (shes fine not her) has to have some game breaking ability. They can walk through wallsKayn , they can block every projectile Yasuo , they can kill you from beyond fog of war Zoe, press R to execute Pyke (and it doesn't help that there's so much damage in the game that it doesn't take 2 seconds til he can ult you, and if he fails he can just hop back in the water for free). And there are also the champ reworks. Some are actually good like yorick, but then there are some like akali, who is now THE MOST BRAINDEAD champion in the game. And the sole reason is cuz she is UNTARGETABLE in her smoke to even towers. How bs is that. Like I said, riot feels the need to push out champs with game breaking abilities and/or a bajillion gapclosers put into their kits. When can we go back to more generic champs like Caitlyn and Janna ?

TOO MUCH DAMAGE League is now focused on dealing out damage as fast as possible. This whole game is now centered around burst, not just assassins. Even towers are made of paper. I've seen towers being taken down in 10 seconds, sometimes not even that. Not to mention tower damage is like 100 at best. Like wtf riot, make our turret security incredibly weak and then introduce champs like Akali who can breeze right by. I remember when turrets were key objectives that took time to take down. There is simply too much damage. The only thing that can fix that is to go back to lower damage. Even items these days encourage it, and it doesn't help that riot practically gives gold away willy nilly. And I know riot claims to have armor/mr per lvl, but that doesn't really do anything.

I would pay good money to go back to s3/s4

All these things you mentioned are terrible points to make and make you seem like you don't know what you're talking about.

  • A ton of champions have mobility over walls. Oh no, Kayn can just freely walk through them instead of dashing. OH NOOOOOO.

  • Braum blocks projectiles and can move. He's considered one of the most loved champs in this game.

  • Lux and Nidalee were the OG "Kill from the fog" champs way before Zoe came around...and have more range than Zoe. Also, XERATH? ZIGGS? Long range isn't new, and Zoe has to close in to actually kill you, while they don't.

  • How many damn champs in this game have an execute?

  • Somehow this post tries to bring hate towards Akali, when she, much like WW, came out without needing any major changes to balancing at all, buff or nerf wise, which is EXACTLY what we want in reworks.

Whole post is low quality hate bait.

A static balanced moba? That sounds super fun!

Your rose colored glasses is not a method by which anyone should balance a game.

But people hated it when Janna and Caitlyn were meta.

You forgot to mention the fact that there is a massive game changing patch every month and a huge change every 2 weeks that make it relatively impossible to adjust to the game flow and meta unless you play thousands of games a season.

Or the fact that most of these patches are centered around catering to highly skilled professionals playing organized games with voice communication and coaches and rosters and not to solo queue or 95% of the player base.

You forgot to mention the fact that Riot will introduce toxic game play into the meta and pretend it isn't there; completely ignoring the player base for months or even years before they address the issue at which point there have been 2 more toxic issues introduced.

Or the consistent quality of life issues that we suffer such as a bad client, poorly optimized skins, consistent bug issues, a terrible death recap and terrible progression with blue and orange essence.

Riot has become a complete joke, and the only people who rally to their defense are either ignorant players who are new to the community, (past 3 years is new if you ask me) or refuse to identify the glaring issues this game has for reasons that are beyond comprehension.

Yeah. Thanks captain obvious. Most games pass their prime after about 4 years.
