The Preseason Scares Me.

Out of the first five games Ive played, in every role except for top(my main...) Ive been pretty much pub stomped. Im not terrible at every role and i make mistakes, but this game doesn't seem forgiving anymore, the meta shift to ranged carries and other assassins really downgrades the value of tanks, and the snowball potential is massive. So lets go over my five games

Game one: Jayce vs Leblanc MiD:

Yah, not really sure what I was expecting here. Leblanc instantly became super oppressive and made my game pretty miserable, however I was able to play to my strengths and her weaknesses while avoiding her power spikes, so it wasn't all that bad... I owe it to my team however, fiora and xin carried us, if they had done even decent we would have lost. Ended like 6-6, which is not bad.

Game two: Jax vs Shaco:

This guy was gold like me, but I wasn't really paying attention here, and thats my fault. a normal s4 game is more forgiving, but after he killed me at my blue... well that was it, he could take all my buffs. Preseasons are like this, However I am disappointed that it was not just me, but my team seemed to lack the proper attention to come and help, or at least ward, ended 0-5 or something, probably more but the point is the game is now forgiveless.

Game Three: Ezreal/lulu vs Caitlyn/Nuatilus:

I will give both the supports this, they were ridiculously skilled. I was really scared of champions at this point, knowing the unforgiveness, and we actually killed naut due to his aggression, however when our elise ganked, she died along with lulu and that was the wrap, we couldn't do anything to them after.

Game four: Yasou vs Poppy:

Im the worst Yasou ever.

Game five: Shyvana vs Kindred:

I was so terrified at this point that i lacked common sense. Build full Damage and farmed jungle, but there is a point here. I felt it was build damage or be destroyed, which seems to be a theme, get damage, get kills, win.

Over all I feel like I lack proper knowledge on the subject, the the impression was instant, it was scary, some of the players were really strong despite there rank, Aggressive botlanes with pullers win almost always, mid lane is still as strong as ever, surprisingly, toplane is now for fighters and fighters only, tanks and assassins seem to struggle. Jungle is now carry fest. Slow champs that take time to warm up are weak in the jungle, only early pressure champs do well.

Im expecting this fighter top, carry jungle, carry mid, carry adc, and hooker support to be the new meta, and first to die in a team fight loses. its really scary.

Ill have to play more games to find out, but I have a feeling that once someone finds a good strategy that counters this, maybe the game can return to its normal strategic front.

Back to testing Jayce runes. bye
