Okey. My problem with the game is that ....

QancerClown··41 votes·13,088 views

.... the laning phase is fkd. When you get hit by 3 abilities + electrocute, you lose 3/4 of hp. How is that a laning phase dmg. I mean, laning phase should look like with Orianna or TF, that you have to actually hit the enemy 20 times with q and poke in the lane. Fix laning phase. Champions that miss every ability and still kill you are dumb.

Jungle is fkd too. It doesn't need to farm anymore, we just go and kill people. Riot, you changed this MOBA 5v5 game into an RPG, where everybody can kill anybody and teamplay doesn't exist. I know that you are targeting a massive audience and many of them are new players, but making the game so much dumber, just for them to play it right, makes it not fun for other, experienced players.

In jungle in S5,6,7, there were more teamfights, but now in most of my games it seems that everybody plays solo and still wins.

Also the damage of every oneshoting champion and of tanks is too high. Should tank be able to oneshot me and still have 4-5k hp? Should assassins be able to miss every skillshot and still kill me, because of Duskblade? Right now Zoe can miss both e and q and still take half of your hp with Lich Bane.

I loved League, when skill of an individual player could be shown in 1v1. When you had to hit skillshots and you trained a lot, just to be able to hit them more often. You used tactics, like stunning somebody in a minion wave. You used minion wave to block somebody's movement and hit stun. That person would take a lot of damage, but wouldn't die. Now if I stun him, he is dead. Literally no counterplay. How am I suppoused to feel about it? I won't be satisfied with that, I will treat it as another kill and say "ok".

Give some magic resists and armor to us too, the damage is so huge, because the runes were removed. I used to go full armor runes vs zed or full ap runes vs tf.

And those runes. Do they need to be so similar to each other? Press the Attack, Electrocute, Summon Aery and Arcane Comet are basically the same. They just do damage with 1 difference between them. Electrocute only deals damage and it is ok. But Press the Attack could have been without damage and with an ability to help marksman. Summon Aery is actually dumb, it is just extra damage, whenever you hit a person and extra shield, whenever you shield smb. Arcane Comet would be great, if not for the fact that, some champions can hit it always, because they have easy to hit or point and click cc.

Glacial Augument, Kleptomacy and Unsealed Spellbook are rarely played, even though they are great, just because Inspiration tree is garbage. The third tier of this tree has nothing interesting in it. 5% cdr? Fine, but the other tree gives me dmg or tankiness. Approach Velocity and Time Warp Tonic are actually played by noone. Everybody knows they are trash.

Boneplating should be a keystone, since it is too strong. Resolve tree is the strongest tree and it should be balanced a little bit more. Compare Boneplating to every other rune, it is clearly a lot stronger than every other rune.

Legend: Tenacity is not played, because both Alacrity and Bloodline are stronger.

Did somebody play Ryze recently? If you don't upgrade his w, you stun somebody for a short time, really short, but you are still able to hit your abilities if you time it correctly. I think more champions should have a lot shorter cc. 0.5 or 1 sek cc is more than enough to kill somebody or deal serious poke dmg. Now some champions have 4 seconds stuns, like wtf. In 4 seconds you can die 4-8 times. It give the enemy team an opportunity to pile up on you and murder your ass. It also gives 4 seconds for enemy team to use another stun on you. How is that fun. 4 seconds is a long time. When Shaco had 4 seconds invisibility I could walk up to the enemy, masturbate and then kill him.

Let's end with something that went good in rune changes: Lethal Tempo, Fleet Footwork, Conqueror, Predator, Dark Harvest, Hail of Blades, Phase Rush, Grasp of the Undying (nerf it a little bit), Aftershock, Guardian (make it easier to use). Those keystones are adding playstyles to the game and are good. Some of them need balancing to be less op or more useful, but their design is fine.

You may disagree on some of those points, probably most of you will disagree on my thoughts about runes, because some people like them. I don't mind that. I just think that people should look at them again and think if they are really that different from what we had before, because in my opinion, those runes are the same as the ones in S7, just without glyphs, marks, quints and seals and customization, that was linked with them.

Very good post. Also after reading it, I noticed something. Before I was buying skins left and right. I spent hundreds of euros in this game. But ever since the new runes I haven't purchased a single skin with RP. It wasn't even intentional, but I guess it makes sense that subconciously I don't feel like paying for a game I don't enjoy.

I think their skins get better every year, but I also have not purchased any RP since new runes dropped. Fuck supporting the current game.

Actual tanks used to have (quite the time ago) a weakness that If you hit one very cruicial part, you could burn the crew alive.

What I mean is that there should be sweet spot on tanks and If you hit it it instakills all enemy champions.

Riot classifies gragas as a tank. But seems J4 was moved elsewhere so mb for not stayin up to date

Put still, personally I agree with you, gragas deals way too much dmg to be a tank. However he has the CC profile and innate beef to fit the class, and it's how riot places him

Chogath is probably closest, Old Sion not a tank, Kench, maybe, but you would have to let him sit on you.

Cho'Gath for example. Well, you are right that tanks are weak now, but they are still unbalanced. Tanks shouldn't deal a lot of damage, they should be tanky and have a lot of utility. Items for tanks should be better, more usefull, with actives. Their damage should be close to none. They should be tanky as fk. They should be more of a teamfight oriented champions. With more actives, they would take more skill to play and be usefull, while not dealing damage.

So basically you want all tanks to be supports...

QancerClown1 votes

Well. Where do you want them to be? Top is for brusers, tanks destroyed that lane. Jungle is for assassins, tanks destroyed jungle. Mid is for mages. Adc is for marksman. Support is for ... tanks and healers? That is where they should be.

#Revertjungle back to baby’s blue and red cus that was legit fun killing them. #revertMageItems, self explainable plus it will help late game mages..

And for the other honorable mentions.

#RevertAdcs. #RevertTabis. #reverttanks.

And the king of the hill

#revert runes.

QancerClown1 votes

I would say that baby blues and reds were fun to kill, but current red and blue are fine. Jungle needs other changes, so that people would need to farm and farming would be profitable. Walking around and killing people isn't bad, but in this season it is kinda too strong. Almost everygame is won or lost because of jungle, jng has the most control over the game.

Reverting Mage items would be nice. The other option would be adding more items and making the items more unique, while taking cdr from it. None AP item should have 20% cdr. Also too many items have cdr now.

They should revert crit changes, because now they did a lot of bad decisions and I mean item 3095 and item 3031 . They should revert crit and remove stormrazor or nerf it's crit damage.

Tabi Ninja are not as broken as before, so maybe they should keep them for now. I would rather buff item 3009 item 3117 item 3158 . Especially Boots of Swiftness, because they seem useless. Compare them to Mercury's Treads. Mercury is almost the same, but better.

Tanks need to be completely changed. No damage. A lot of hp. More active items with cdr, a lot more active items. That change would make tanks more skillful to play and a good tank would be able to control a team fight. Tanks should be tanky.

I said my opinion about runes.

If you disagree I understand and maybe I am wrong about something or everything.

Bone Plating and Chrysalis should be on the same row.

  • Lethal Tempo is garbage. Takes too long to activate.
  • Hail of Blades is abused by Jhin. No one else takes it.
  • Dark Harvest is abused by Miss Fortune. No one else takes it.
  • Conqueror is toxic.
QancerClown1 votes

I agree with Bone Plating and Chrysalis being in the same row, it would be quite good. Also Second Wind should be there too.

I agree, Lethal Tempo needs a buff and would be a good rune. Adds a playstyle to the game.

Hail of Blades has actually a lot of champions, that can use it. It might be quite good, if other runes get nerfed.

Dark Harvest can be used by every single assassin ever. Shaco for example can oneshot with it, if played right.

Conqueror is toxic. You are right. I want brusers to have a rune for them, but not this one. It is actually dumb, it gives ad and ... TRUE DAMAGE. We should get League away from true damage, because it has no counterplay. Shields can counter it, but they are toxic as well. They should be just an addition, that can be skillfully used. Now we have 1k-2k shields and where is skill in that.

True damage is fine to exist in champion kits.

They need to stop giving every new champion release some form of True Damage and stop loading it into runes and items.

  • Revert item 3031 but reduce the crit amp to 25-30% instead of 50%
  • Replace Conqueror with the old Fervor of Battle.

Yeah sure, There's a lot of champions who can "use" Hail of Blades.

A few examples being Vayne Twitch MasterYi Kindred.

But there's more optimal keystones for them to use.

Jhin's synergy with it is way too strong, just like MF's synergy with Dark Harvest.

Because getting CC'd at all is guaranteed death with all the damage flying around, no matter how much tenacity you have.

QancerClown1 votes

You are right. Damage is too high in the game, that is why cc should be nerfed alongside damage. CC shouldn't be long, it should be enough to hit abilities, if timed correctly and that is all.

Approach Velocity is goddamn amazing, has great interaction with Glacial Augment, and both are necessary for making Sion playable right now, since he can't hit a damn thing without them, with all the mobility in the game.

QancerClown1 votes

As I said before Glacial Augment is great, but only used by few champions, I like this rune and it shouldn't be changed at all.

Approach Velocity might be good for Sion, but not for other champions. It needs a buff or a change. I would say buff. After reading the ability and analysis I want to have this rune in the game, but stronger.

"Did someone play Ryze recently?" I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED And btw it's a root not a stun.

QancerClown1 votes

:) Ryze is a nice champion. I actually like his design, because it takes skill to play him correctly and he has to dodge abilities to be usefull so, he is a great champion.
