The differences between seasons 1-5 and season 8

FCJAAAAGOOOO··18 votes·7,818 views

Because let's be real; seasons 6 and 7 don't relate to anything and were their own kind of messes:

Seasons 1-5:

Tanks: did some damage occasionally, took a TON of damage, lategame threats Bruisers: did and took a lot of damage Assassins: were a mess lol Fighters: did a TON of damage, took some damage occasionally, lategame threats Supports: Took lots of damage, dealt hardly any (save some special snowflakes), had nice teamfighting tools, sometimes lategame threats Mages: Team backbones with lots of dangerous tools, sometimes lategame threats ADCs: did a TON of damage, were squishy for most of the game, lategame threats

Season 8:

Tanks: what are those? Bruisers: oh you mean tanks Juggernauts: yeah that's what I said: tanks Assassins: still a mess lol Fighters: do LUDICROUS damage, get 1-shot occasionally Supports: Deal TONS of damage, can take hardly any, can opt to buy teamfighting tools with their gold from kills, as if this is a team game anymore lol
Mages: oh you mean adcs ADCs: do LUDICROUS damage, get 1-shot often early on, lategame overlords but what lategame?

Season 8:

Bruisers: oh you mean tanks Juggernauts: yeah that's what I said: tanks Assassins: still a mess lol Fighters: do LUDICROUS damage, get 100-0'd occasionally Supports: Deal TONS of damage, can take hardly any, can opt to buy teamfighting tools with their gold from kills, as if this is a team game anymore lol Mages: oh you mean adcs ADCs: do LUDICROUS damage, get 100-0'd often early on, lategame overlords but what lategame?

Let me fix this:

Tanks: Oh you mean ADC's? Juggernauts: Oh you mean ADC's? Assassins: 100-0 Everyone including tanks with 9k hp and 1.2m HP/s at level 1. Fighters: Oh you mean ADC's? Supports: Mid laners anyone? ADC: respawning Junglers: Oh you mean ADC's?

oh how I long for per 8.11 again. At least then, we don't have the "I can play Anything bot and get away with it now" Meta.

Lets just go pre 8.10 and settle on 8.9 or 8.8 patch which is where riot lost their mind with destroying everything in game (jungle/scuttle/jungle diversity/adcs/supports/start of gold funneling caused ramped up by these changes)

Juggernauts and Fighters are supposed to be lategame carries on equal grounds with ADCs.

Junglers it varies. Jungle is a role, not a class.

Tanks aren't ADCs. They're absolute shite.

It's not really a support mage meta atm.

Facepalm x2 This is a joke mate. If I actually wanted to break it down properly I would. Seeing as anyone and everyone right now is an ADC and can be played bot lane with any other champion there is no Class for "Jungle" as the same thing stands for that role.

It's hard to tell, and many people have the same mentality.

Assassin Season 1-5: Feast or Famine, either you snowball hard or useless and try to split push

Assassin Season 8: What is risk? ex "Ekko fares pretty well against mages when his cooldowns are up, so we’re giving him the tools to engage more often."

Getting nostalgic about the early seasons seems to be a common trend as of late, which is really funny to me since the early season were absolutely terrible in terms of balance. Sure they weren't the same kind of mess we have today, but S8 was nothing compared to the say the Triforce of ADC's meta or the Warmogs meta.

To be fair, anytime mages are good people complain for them to be nerfed hard. I mean let look at the situation now. There are 2-3 mages that are actually good and ppl want them nerfed even though without those mages you wouldn't see any at all.

If one of them is Zoe, then yes. She needs a nerf. A rather large one. Q does stupidly INSANE amounts of damage at all stages of the game. E has a slow and Stun? With Dmg boost. W has no cooldown and does dmg. Ult is a tool for landing Q from stupid range and do more dmg with.

Bruisers and fighters are the same thing. Bruisers is a blanket term that people with limited game knowledge call the fighter class a whole.

3TWarrior1 votes

no, fighters were much squishier targets that did a lot of damage quickly, were very mobile and were basically a melee ADC

bruisers were like fighters but lost a lot of their damage potential for durability, hard crowd control or other methods of success

bruisers might have never been an official term, but it was a player one

then the term "juggernaut" came about and champions began to shift their roles

chogath for instance was a mage tank (heavy CC, great durability, no mobility)

dr mundo was a high damage, very durable target that had little in the manner of utility or multiple target focus, but he was a bruiser and tank combination despite being listed as fighter

That's called an assassin

Also, there's not "player terms". Riot lists champs in certain categories and that's what they are lmao. People who call fighters bruisers are the same people that call Mundo a tank.

MasterYi Aatrox Gangplank Nocturne (though he does have a playstyle similar to an assassin), Olaf , Pantheon (similar to assassin again), Tryndamere XinZhao Yasuo

assassins, huh?

master yi was listed as an assassin, as were several others, but that was from WAAAAAY back when they measured assassin class by KILL TIME

Yi is a melee hyper carry. Aatrox is a diver. Gangplank is a specialist. Nocturne is an assassin. Olaf is a diver. Pantheon is an assassin. Tryndamere is a skirmisher. Xin Zhao is a diver. Yasuo is a skirmisher.

Skirmishers, divers, and juggernauts are sub-classes of fighters.

FUNNY, NONE OF THOSE CLASSES EXISTED BACK THEN

there were: fighter, tank, support, mage, assassin, marksman and finally in season 5, Juggernaut!

Ok but my point is bruiser is just a stupid word for the class of fighters.

3TWarrior2 votes

no, bruisers are champions like: JarvanIV Chogath Darius DrMundo Garen Gragas Jax LeeSin (though he has always been a hybrid playstyle), Nasus Renekton Mordekaiser RekSai Riven Rumble Shyvana Skarner Trundle Udyr Vi Volibear Warwick

or at least they were before the class system update

Personally, the second half of season 5, post sej nerf was my favorite meta ever.

Brand Velkoz Zyra jungle, HELL EVERYONE COULD JUNGLE! OG KogMaw. None of my tanks had pathetic excuses for reworks Sejuani Maokai ult ugh Zac
