Hope.....Lives

As a long time League supporter and a long time Marksman main... i retain hope that Riot in all its infinite glory will bring the game back under control. Too many games feel way beyond my reach, where i'm basically a non-factor despite having solid CS, solid game decisions, Insane Dmg done. I can put out 70k dmg, die only a few times, but still just get ran down by any tank who built 2 armor + Tabi. It doesnt feel good to have the game that far out of my hands. My only options item wise are some janky Lethality or a 2nd item Last whisper...throwing me off my build path and delaying my power spikes.

maybe some new items are needed? Something with DMG + FLAT armor pen (nothing too crazy) that actually work with most builds? Idk...i dont work for the balance team, just doing some much needed venting. every game feels like i HAVE to build Essence reaver + a zeal item, otherwise im basically an enhanced cannon creep.

i just hate that games are decided by the jungle... the jungle should INFLUENCE not DIRECT the game. am i wrong here?

am i the only one that remains hopeful? these first round of nerfs to obvious game-changers ( jungle XP / CoC ...etc) bring a glimmer of joy to an otherwise black and desolate bottom lane.

Now, just do something about Ninja Tabi making me useless early, the light will grow.

Feel free to comment , especially point out areas where i am wrong ( so i can try to work on it)
