Remember when this game used to be fun?

I don't know about anything before season 4 because I wasn't playing, but season 5 was a blast. Nothing seemed ridiculously OP, there weren't as many 10 minute games due to snowballing, and it wasn't infuriating and gimmicky every time you died. There was no Devourer Ragebalde yi or jax that could just kill a full tank in less than a second. This game used to be great, and then riot decided they needed to start reworking EVERYTHING and completely changing some items. When you have a 7 year old game, you need to focus on perfecting it, not changing it completely every year, or else it feels like nothing more than an endless open beta test and all the imbalance and frustration that goes with that. Just give us a complete and balanced game and leave your sated rageblade on the PBE until you fix things. And for God's sake keep Auriel Sol there too.

Upvoting this all day. All the strategy has been removed for people getting instantly blown up. I just played a Thresh game into Zyra, and I eat one snare and lose 75% of my hp, lose all the lane pressure, can't go aggro, because she landed a single skill shot? The only champs that had that threat back in the day was basically Blitz and he has a 20 second cooldown so it made sense. Everything it's just bursty, there's no time to outplay people because you die in .5 seconds.

No. No I don't. The season 5 devourer metas were just as stupid as this one.

Each season manages to bring in and simultaneously throw out good stuff. Back in the day, monster camps didn't completely bend you over and rape you if you're jungling as anything other than WW or Fiddles. And if you were jungling as one of them, you could buy cloth and pots to jungle to skip to better items instead of being forced to buy a jungler item to jungle. Not to mention, they didn't regular nerf junglers' jungling abilities every time somebody used their jungle sustain in top lane. I honestly wish I could properly explain how brutally Maokai got trashed in the jungle cause of him being played top. I wouldn't mind if they nerfed his top, but they just nerfed him in general and made him far less useful in the jungle. Ironically, there was far more jungle diversity before these jungle items cause you didn't have to define yourself by a jungle item. Now, it's about which junglers can use the currently most OP jungle item most effectively.

I think you're just remembering this wrong because tanks were cancerous as hell. item 1401 was way too strong. It became a game of "which team has more tanks."
