as a toplaner, here are major problems with the game
-
ardent fucking censer. fuck this item and everything it represents. it has singlehandedly warped the entire game. champions like kog, twitch, vayne are just simply impossible to deal with when a support mashes their buttons in the vague direction of their ADC. supports are a problem but the ardent censer nonsense has just exacerbated their underlying issues and turned ADCs like kog/twitch into nightmares. TWITCH HAS A 53.56 WINRATE WITH A 17% PLAYRATE. ardent censer is to blame.
-
jungler influence is too extreme. one gank that doesn't even have to kill you and you're going to get denied for a long time.
-
champs that have the sole purpose of denying interaction and stonewalling the lane (pantheon/gnar/teemo). BONUS POINTS IF THEY DON'T FALL OFF PAST LANE PHASE (pantheon/gnar)
-
basically, if I want to influence the game, I am contractually required to pick things that force global interaction. (shen or pantheon)
-
we can't buy normal wards. seriously, who thought this was a good idea?
this game is not in an enjoyable state right now.
