The current sate of the gameplay is not caused by the Preseason, but by the Players.

Sure there are a lot of balance issues, but they aren't that big. the biggest issue this Preseason is the sheer amount of changes. And it's not even what changed, but simply that it changed.

Sure games are quicker and often teams get stomped, but as far as i can tell that is msotly casued by people not botehring to read teh patch notes, so they don't have proper Masteries (if at all) or otherwise don't have a clue what is going on, or how to use the new items play against the changed characters.

Usually those games end so fast because there is one such guy and they end up being 4v5 or 4v6 because clueless guy feeding is even worse than afk.

Personally I like most of the changes so far as i didn't have much problems adjusting my setups and gameplay accordingly. I also haven't seen many problems in game with those alegedly overpowered ADCs. At least nothing that is different from Season 5. If they get fed they are a pain, but they always were, and you can still handle them like you always could.

Also for perspective: I play Jungle Aatrox , and Support Soraka Alistar

You're playing Soraka.

OFC you think everything is fine.

Why does everyone think Soraka is suddenly so much better?

I played her for a long time and I think she has always been strong and she has been nice since her rework.

There hasn't been much change except that more people learn how to play her properly, which just reinforces my original statement. In fact when I don't play support i often see one of those "Soraka is OP" supports and they usually fail miserably.

Also I haven't noticed much improvement on her during this patch, compared to that Windspeaker Alistar has become insane.

Except the lack of knowledge happens every patch. Just in this patch, the changes are so drastic that it's like a totally different game. The player base stays pretty constant over the years, but the balance doesn't.

Why "Except"? That's pretty much what I said.

The more drastic changes this time throw the people farther off this time, but I'm already seing improvements in my games as people adjust. I have seen several long even games with comebacks.

I'm saying that while it happens every preseason, this one bring much more drastic changes, which means the current state is much more different than other years.

This happens literally every preseason.

No preseason has had such drastic unhealthy changes yet. Tbh, last preseasons were even pretty fun, with all the new items and things to discover. Right now, the changes are so bad it surpasses the will to discover new things.
