Ziggs can now two shot towers The adc that could only kill tanks and died to other adcs now kills everything in a second or less not to mention twitch,syndra and the wind type pokemon hasaki vayne still condemns you from nexus to nexus veigar got reworked to nuke every category of champ now at 10 minutes your bot lane will have fed and got dived at least twice by the entire team taking a shower is now more dangerous than tower diving and every champion turns into a peanut butter sandwich against vayne

I absolutely hate this burst meta, it invalidates any skill other than building full nuke and
"I pressed my button first"

And the Ziggs complaints have started already. I predicted a week but this is about just 3 or 4 days.

Just some context, Ziggs could always destroy towers with his passive+satchel. You just didn't see it as much because he wasn't popular and was risky, but now that there are so many roaming mid laners he can do what he wants.

well that's how rito promotes diversity. the only diversity we have atm is dive bot or go 10-0 in lane. you dont win otherwhise

What's funny is that if you play Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard seems to understand that concept. Being "bursted" down in Heroes means getting 100-0'd in 3 to 4 seconds, since mobility is rare in that game and damage is even rarer. There's more than enough time to understand why you died. Not just, "What the fuck just hit me for 3k out of nowhere?"

Hey man, showers are scary. There is a reason they make those no slip rubber mats to stand on.

I am a control mage / burst mage main, but even I agree that a tankier meta is a lot more healthy and interesting. I seriously wouldn't mind it going back to the times where burst mages focused on squishies instead of just everyone. I'll still be able to eliminate the carries that step out of line. I shouldn't be melting Malphites and Sejuanis as they come, however.

Did this happen last year? I only started playing since last February and I don't remember balancing being this horrendous.
