I already think season 10 is the worst season yet and here's why

Why? Let me explain

Games go like this.

Midlane and botlane, especially midlane were most influential along with jungler.

If midlane was winning they helped jungler take first drake. Fights happened in drake because now they are too valuable to lose.

The team that was losing midlane lost the drake. (in my games in both occasions) The losing team also went 3-4 kills behind because a fight happens in the drake no matter what because people want to take it.

So the drake buff and the 3-4 kills that set the losing team behind made it lose the next fight in the drake because again the same thing happened. But this time the midlane and botlane / jungler had a bigger lead and they could contest drake with much more ease.

Losing team lost yet another drake.

After that the match is pointless. Losing team is going to lose all drakes, winning team is going to get all drakes and become even stronger.

In both instances my matches ended in around 8 minutes everyone was spamming surrender votes including myself because the winning team was so far ahead that the match was pointless.

This is by far the worst season i have played in terms of the losing team turning tables on the winning team and the lead keeps snowballing no matter what, very fast too.

Mark my words. There's going to be a lot of rage and ff at 10 minutes this season, much more than it was in season 8. I truely believe that if Season 8 games were one sided this is the pinnacle of 1 sided games.

I'll play a couple more games but if i keep seeing this, i won't even participate this season. Perhaps better for my mental health at this point.

So, I don't want to say your are flat out wrong because we are speculating and I don't want to be rude, but in theory you are.

Dragon 1 and 2 are the "early game" dragons, if you will, These dragons are WEAKER than last patch. Meaning getting the 1st 2 means less for 2 huge reasons.

1: They are weaker and have no chance of stacking. 2: They do not accumulate to a late game buff (AKA Elder)

Losing the first two dragons except if you are Shyvana should not feel bad at all, and you should only contest if you can.

The 3rd dragon at a minimum, must spawn around 16 min, this is 16 minutes of farming/laning and fights that have nothing to do with this dragon. If by then you cannot contest or you are not on equal footing. Then YOU did something wrong. Dragons had nothing to do with that, nor your jungler since at this point you should be rotating around the map.

A 3rd dragon should never be impacted by 1 lane since it will always have at least a 16 minute window before it spawns.

So your priority on early dragons needs to be changed, they are not that important. Again they are WEAKER, if you weren't contesting dragons before for any similar reason to last patch, you definitely shouldn't be now. The 3rd dragon is also weaker than the one last patch, but it does begin your stacking so, it's priority should be pretty high.

The second stacked dragon forward (min 21 minutes) will be the only time a dragon buff is stronger than it's previous iteration.

Be like me. Take every drake and rift herald as a solo farming jungler and watch the enemy surrender immediately after getting 4th dragon XD I am already in love with this season. Objective focus and power farming are my style. It's going to be my time to shine as long as Riot doesn't nerf jungle farming or the solo dragon champs that I love to play.

Though most games have been pretty snowball, the team that has the elder dragon buff will usually just insta win team fights.

I already feel deflated and dehyped.

I was never in any season dehyped so fast about League.

I actually wanted to play a lot of games to start off this preseaon but i just closed the client because i can't bring myself to play another bore-fiesta.

I agree on season 10 being the worst season so far... But you stay on drakes as the main reason... I personally just don't like the assasin meta that instantly got popular. With 5 lethality items that doesn't really loose value by buying all 5 of them makes not just assassins stronger. But bruisers and other ad champions who have some sort of engage mechanic close to broken. I don't wanna say they indefinetly will win, but as of now being a tank doesn't really win you anything anyways even with the new conqueror being less effective on tanks. Since your carry don't stack 2-3 armor items assasins and bruisers stacking lethality items just 1 shot everything. A tank alone without a carry can't do much. "if you can't beat them, join them" doesn't really help either... Assasins were already viable when they could only buy 3 lethality items and then had to get a black cleaver or armor pen item if they needed to shread more armor... To let them have a full set of lethality items without any negative effects from the items lethality stacking just makes the game unbalanced. As a assasin gets ahead they can practicly 1v5 since one of the lethality items also give 15% life steal they can tank out and win a fight vs most tanks after 1shotting the carries... Just a heads up to riot for fucking up a season by the start of it :D. Tehy won't see me play any games until some nerf or hotfix for this season is done

Also if Top does not take TP and use it for Drake they are useless to the team.
