A new players perspective: Damage is WAY too high

This is genuinely not fun. I played hots from the alpha in ~2014 up until the early 2018 patch which ruined the game. I played dota back in like 2012. I played Smite.

In all those games, ability usage means something. In order to kill someone, you have to wall them off, body block them, or be generally strategic. You cannot kill people in a single rotation.

League is a different story. You just jump in and start getting kills. There's so much damage going out that engaging something at half health is a one shot.

Health needs to be doubled at a minimum.

This isn't strategic. This doesn't require skill. You cannot look me in the eye and said this game would have taken off if it was released in its current state.

And you came to the boards.

You poor soul. This is where reason goes to die.

Try taking double defense runes. You still do roughly the same damage to your opponent, while being a tankier.

Also, people dont buy defense in this game, hence why you see everyone does so much damage.

Hots is the other extreme where it feels like everyone is a tank and is a bunch of wet noodles fighting. It's far too boring and makes Laning and the first part of the game feel pointless
