I haven't had the chance to play League since the preseason started so I decided to go onto the boards to see what others think about the newly implanted changes on the boards. Let's just say I wasn't disappointed.

  1. Apparently support items are too weak?
  2. Elder dragon execute bug?
  3. Elemental drake map recolor/texture hurts players eyes?
  4. Conqueror is being abused on ability spamming mages?
  5. Sanguine blade is blatantly broken on some champions?
  6. Junglers are extremely under-leveled?
  7. Client problems still persist?
  8. Players having FPS drops in game?

_*These are just a few things I seen/read on the boards. I haven't had the opportunity to experience any of this myself yet. _

AKA the usual annual preseason shitfest

Personally I think this preseason is great. Most of what you listed is just not true and is just the boards complaining for the sake of complaining. The only thing I don’t know about on your list is the elder bug. I have never heard of that before.

I wouldn't look to boards for anything really. They bitched about senna this entire time. Then in release they were fine. They think posting 10 times a day about yasuo/akali is cool for the free upvotes. And they always post the occasional cry for help post. They start off by saying they are quitting. Followed by a bunch of qq. Then a pity party about how riot fucked up. Boards is seriously a shit show.

Tank supports (melee) definitely got shafted by the change to relic shield:

Removed the ability to buy the level 2 support item at first back (used to be important for granting a lot of sustain in hard matchups). Removed the heal that scaled on %missing hp (5 - 30 hp for level 1 item, 10 - 60 for level 2). Removed the 50% hp per 5. Removed the 10% cdr. Increased the charge time at level 1 item ( 40 sec -> 45 sec ) Charge time at level 2 item doesn't improve from level 1 ( essentially: 30 sec -> 45 sec ) Level 3 item removes the execute passive ( even just 1 melee minion every 30 seconds is ~3.2 gp5, the compensation for losing the exectue was 2 gp5 ( 1 gp5 -> 3 gp5 ) )

All of that for "saving" 1400 gold ( not really, since I was paying the gold for improved gold generation & healing ), and gaining a lousy chunk of AD or AP, because tanks are known for Tons of Damage.

Maybe implementing one or two of these changes would have been fine to tone down the sustain a bit, but all of these combined just deletes tanks from bot lane all together. Matchups that I used to consider quite easy, like facing Ashe, are now terrifying because every stray Volley and autoattack adds up very quickly to push you out of lane.

Dragons are unhealthy, Doesn't matter how ahead you are as an individual, if your team isn't able to secure dragons you will most likely lose. (Causes Nunu to be broken because double smite XD)

Sanguine blade is obnoxious as hell on the champions that can abuse it, they remove Spear of Shojin just to introduce a similar problem. It's just this time Fiora abuses it instead of Riven

Akali is aids again because Conqueror was seen as a good idea to clip and ship

All in all they managed to Power Creep the damage from S9 into S10 even higher so the game is even less fun.

Every season since runes reforged has had more and more damage and has been less and less fun because there's no outplaying in a world where everyone one shots everyone.

The junglers being underleveled is the usual deal about people doing it wrong, i just played it and had no problems......although i was on Shyv but i still did gank and fight a fair bit.

Junglers are extremely under-leveled?

If they attempt to play jungle as if it was still season 9 (gank gank gank farm) then Yes they are heavily out leveled. Also counter jungling is actually worth doing again cause no catch up xp mechanic for junglers anymore (besides from epic monsters anyways)

This is regular*

Jungle xp is fine. With camps spawning as fast as they are, I always end up tied or ahead of my laners whilst also ganking when the opportunity arises -- as I always have. It almost feels like I have more gold and experience than I used to, especially because gromp and wolves are actually worth taking now.
