Inflated Damage Numbers

In my opinions, its a very big issue in league currently.

To explain better, its been a common trend in the game to buff damage roles in the game while nerfing armor and magic resistance items throughout.

As we all know in season 6 they did a lot of buffs to AD roles while nerfing the armor stat (making items more expensive but give less).

What this creates is a game that has abilities like Lee Sin's ult (600 base + 200% AD at max rank). To me this is an inflated number, theres no reason to have that scaling on that ability in the current state of the game.

There are many other champs like this.

Anyone else have thoughts on it? That maybe the toning down of some of the damage numbers in the game would be overall beneficial to game health?

Lee Sin is just an easy example, many other champs have similar, and even worse, damage inflation.

This is literally my biggest problem with League atm. Damage numbers are simply too high. Thunderlords was overtuned, but instead of just nerfing it, they decided to bring the other keystones up to its level. So now they game is very damage heavy. I feel like certain champions only need 1 or 2 kills to begin snowballing and one-shotting other champions. I hate it. Just last season I would only really fear an enemy if they had 3 kills. Now I feel like I have to respect a champion with only a single kill because they can probably 1-shot me with just a single spell rotation with only that small advantage. Really removes a lot of strategy. I feel I do best by just acting like a wild beast, and simply attacking someone as sooon as I see them rather than having any sort of planning, because it's more about just unloading your obscene damage faster than the other guy.

Just try to play tank in the current state of the game : it's impossible. You try and stop assassins/fighters from touching your team but even with a full tank build you just die in 4 seconds it's ridiculous. And at the meantime with the same build you can still 1 shot a squishy character with malphite or such. Ridiculous and unfun. I would say lee is not the most representatve, better take things like all the devourer champs for exemple :o
