I have seriously no clue what Riot was thinking with this patch.
Xin Zhao being almost as terrifiying as during his release. Yi running around with 4k health, still shredding everything. Ezreal absuing an on-hit item (as EVERY GODDAM SEASON RIOT WHAT THE HELL DO YOU NEVER LEARN?!) And at the same time, none of the ALREADY must-bans have been touched up in any way. Fiora is as oppressing as always, I still have to ban LB if I want to play a mage in mid, Graves being one of the top pick in top jungle AND bot due to an overtuned kit, TK and Mundo still strong enough to warrant a ban...
Oh and don't get me started on the new AD item... Seriously. No one likes playing vs (AD) assassins. And now that they have their own item we were all reminded why...
Sure, there have always been champs that were favoured by a meta or something and some that were less - not all champs can be equally popular at once after all. But right now it's just retarded. There is a small elite (and some very few hardcounter champs as Malphite) of what you can pick and the rest will get shredded mercilessly between the currently overtuned stuff.
Some aspects of this, especially rageblade and Xin, are so overtuned I'd call for a hotfix. I have played for more than 4 seasons by now. I never really took part in the whole "Muh balance sucks" circlejerk as it always has been somewhat ok going from my experience. But the recent patches? Total bullcrap.
I would have no problem with this if we had 8 or 10 bans. Then Riot can do whatever nonsense they want. I can keep it out of my game. But like this?
Seriously Riot, whatever you are smoking, stop it.
