So many stupid mechanics and gimmick's are being added and matchmaking is also pretty bad....
Also the FOTM champions are pretty annoying to face (like hecarim or anivia). If a champion like ziggs was fotm it would be annoying but not as annoying as the current FOTM champs.
DeathBot66629 votesIts just you.
Its always been easy to get frustrated with league.
Evewynn4 votesCan confirm, been playing since the end of season 1.
There's always bullshit. Always imbalance. I've been through assassin metas, tank metas. Adc metas (well, extra meta I guess, since adc has always been required since I've played).
None of it feels good when you're dealing with it, you just either learn to suck it up or stop playing.
Crett21 votesmy friends and i have pretty much stopped playing, but i vigilantly watch for the winds of change. if riot does something like a 20% damage reduction we'll come back

Crett3 votesHECK I quit about 3 months ago and yet still do I haunt the boards. It's going to take a lot more than a downhill season to get rid of me forever Bladey
Teklm8 votesYou severely underestimate how infuriating Ziggs was back when he was meta in Season 4. The game never ended.
superfire4443 votesStill better than being 1 shot without any counterplay by a tank hecarim (undodgeable combo) or playing vs a waveclear bot with a lot of damage (like assassin high but as a mage) if you get in her zone (anivia)

Sorry, I don't buy it. In his heyday Ziggs had just as much waveclear as Anivia. Yes, he couldn't burst like her, but he would lob Q's that chunk you every couple seconds while staying too far away to even think about engaging.
And then you'd finally get a side lane pushing and he'd just ult it, thank you for the free gold, and continue insta - clearing mid and seiging forever, since Athene's gave unlimited mana.

Ashe Jungle2 votesEveryone forgets the cd on bouncing bomb
Bouncing bomb had a cd? This is news to me.
XeroKimo1 votesDon't forget that bouncing bombs radius was pretty much large enough that even if you threw it max range, you couldn't dodge inbetween bounces, so it was super easy to hit Q's back then and he can pretty much farm and harass just like that, have fun trying to get near him.
But now, I really want to get into ziggs but I CAN'T LAND MY Q'S!!!!!!

And the animation is different enough from other straight line skillshots that it's hard to judge how far you need to move to sidestep it.
Mael bro1 votesYou just had to remind me... I hope riot never buffs that dirty rat ever again.
Ulriah5 votesAnivia FOTM?!?
superfire4442 votesshe has the 4th best winrate for midlane and a win% of 53,62% according to champion.gg Her play rate is also quite high

5% play rate lol Of all god damn champs you say anivia. Zed? Yasuo?
MeDicenWera4 votesYou know what frustrates me? Premades.
Thrice now I've been in a game with a premade trio, al 3 times no exception It was the trashiest experience ever. They tried to bully me out of jg, said they'd take my camps, dont leash, me take the camps,etc. Almost all my experiences with premades of 3+ people have been incredibly toxic.
NightmareAmazoX1 votes[zombie-nunu-bummed] Premades make your life miserable.
Swae73 votesU guys just need to chilll like anivia
MonkeyMadness3 votesK so as strong as hec is/was there is plenty of ways to counter him. He will always have to charge through your frontline, and he will usually try to do this without his ult. So stop him. EZ. If he does ult, now hes stuck behind enemy lines, and provided that your front line doesn't let anyone else throught, Hec will be soloing 2 or 3 damage dealers. Unless you have fed him to the point of obesity, he is not THAT strong. Also, if you have ever played hecarim, you will know that champs with persistent slows and/or terrain creation absolutely destroy him. Azir's ult is easily the number 1 hec counter.
However, I will agree with you that matchmaking is in the toilet, and this is due to DQ literally destroying the ladder and allowing boosted trash to play with/against players so far out of their league that they simply cannot function.
NightmareAmazoX1 votesNope you are wrong, I was playing azir, A hecarim ulted onto me, I ulted as he was about to hit me, The wall didn't knock him back at all but it did damage, Could have been a bug though.
Vistha Kai4 votes...
You can't displace Hecarim durning his ult.
MonkeyMadness1 votesYa you played it wrong...either u ult him when he is charging (his e speed boost), which will force him to ult over the wall and likely to his death, or you wait for him to burn the ult, then push him away with yours. Either way, he's gonna be in a sticky situation.
NightmareAmazoX1 votesohkay. :3
MonkeyMadness1 votesSeriously I HATE playing against azir for this reason. Just don't get too trigger happy on the ult. Always better if you hold it and use it to disengage then wasting it only to have him ult over it.
Siyther2 votesGood news is that FOTM champs tend to change after a patch or 2. take breaks for a couple weeks then play again . it helps hell sometimes im so frustrated with league i only log in to get my first win bonus on a bot match then log out
Ivern and Irelia1 votesnot really. irelia is still banned pretty much every game, and theres been 4 patches since then.
LankPants1 votesMore like 2, Triforce hasn't really been as strong as it is now that long. If you want a better example it's Zed, who's been over a 50% BR for around 6 months now.
Ivern and Irelia1 votestriforce buff happened in 6.11, we're on 6.15 as of today
Handin Out Naps2 votesAnivia is pretty broken rn, people just haven't realized it yet. Just give it a bit until they start to abuse her lcs, then she will finally get nerfed. Actually mid lane in general right now is pretty bullshit. But no despite all that I'm still somehow enjoying the game.
Spizzle90002 votes
is in the meta, so what do you expect?
NightmareAmazoX1 votesHaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Spizzle90001 votesDon't act like it's not true xD
balbraaksel1 votesThere are counters to the current meta, although they're more risky with 4 friends you can do stuff like that if you discuss the plan thoroughly together and communicate well with a voicechat.
NightmareAmazoX1 votesAin't nobody got time for dat. [zombie-brand-mindblown]
balbraaksel1 votesYou mean nobody knows how to form an effective anti meta strategy and won't be comfortable with executing one, which I agree is pretty hard.
One pretty reliable anti meta strategy would probably be a double jungle of Shaco and Evelynn, every lane would shit his pants and the jungler will get PTSD from the sudden Evelynn and Shaco attacks and random boxes in the jungle. Then I think Illaoi top, Jinx mid and Malzahar bot.
Meta Phyton1 votesIt's you. You're not living in balance with it. We must go outside of our houses, take a long walk in nature, perhaps go for a cup of coffee by ourselves in a coffee shop and just take in our surroundings. These things reestablish our psyche's balance, so we will be largely immune to tilting and overall frustration. Too much playing LoL in the dark and experiencing the same thing over again doesn't mean the experience is less fun, it means that our psyche is agitated because we aren't doing anything else productive with our time. anything will become frustrating and agitating, even the most enjoyable things in life, if we stay inside and pursue them constantly.
KoKoboto1 votesI'm pretty pissed because Riot nerfs champs that are in the "spotlight" and were played a lot than never compensates. Ehem look at Kalista right now and even Poppy... I remember reading a post awhile back where a Rioter said "Yeah we have like a spotlight and champions shouldn't be in it for so long" but they shouldn't even have a spotlight in the first place ==
superfire4441 votesAnd the difference between the spotlight now and couple seasons ago is that a couple seasons ago you could handle the FOTM champs. The shit we have no is tanky, with CC and damage and there is no coming back from that once you're behind. Gl dealing with a fed poppy where a fed shyvana could be dealt with.
Blackstone011 votesI just started again after not playing for ~2 months. I've done nothing but dick around as support sona and "support" veigar.
Wyrmblade1 votesIf a champion like Ziggs was fotm it would be annoying but not as annoying as the current FOTM champs
I too like having matches go on so long that I can go to bed thirty minutes in and wake up tomorrow with 0 turrets cleared by either team.
superfire4441 votesBetter than playing vs a waveclear bot like viktor or anivia who also happens to one shot you in the process, right?
Wyrmblade1 votesI dunno, even when Ziggs was delaying games for years or malzahar was being a nugget I never had problems with immobile and squishy champs being powerful.
Lugg1 votesIt isn't lately, it's been this way all season.
Twerk a Fish1 votesI actually think it's been super frustrating past 2 seasons because of rise in people who have no clue what they're doing.
