After playing a few games…honestly, I don’t even know if I want to play this game until several glaring issues are addressed.
It feels like there is no mid game anymore, there is laning and then it immediately transitions into late game.
People are obtaining too much gold too quickly and seeing people come to full build, or near full build at 25-30 minutes is stupid for so many obvious reasons.
The late game ends up being dragged on for another 20 mins due to the inhib changes. It feels like it doesn’t matter if you do poorly individually, everyone gets all their items and the game turns into a gigantic death match. What’s the point in shutting people down anymore? It feels like shutting people down has far less impact now than before. We’re now seeing champions reach full builds very quickly, while at the same time, reduced EXP rates are punishing champions who don’t scale well. This totally breaks any champions that have very high scaling values and invalidates more early game oriented champions.
Everything is streamlined. If I feed like shit and get stomped in lane (or wherever else I’m going), I should not still be able to have noticeable contribution to my teams efforts. I should be punished, not rewarded. This whole patch feels like a gigantic clusterfuck.
I think the inhibitor changes are great, gives some merit to setting up lanes to push instead of letting the game win for you. I agree with everything else though, the game is a mess but I guess that’s why it’s called preseason.
Played a 10 Jinx game, my team managed to sync awesome rocket ganks, had a lot of fun. After a few games it can be frustrating going up against bad match ups, I get a lot more out of ARAM than this mode.
I remember thinking about how this would be a fun game mode a long time ago, nice to see riot implement it.
I was on an Amumu team vs. a thresh team, the thresh team was stomping us at first but all it took was a few levels in our w and some ultimates to start destroying them in team fights. Team shaco was also fun to play with.
First time playing it, we were Zyra going up against Lux. I thought the matchup was bad for our team, but we ended up winning. IMO they should have warded up and snipe us, but none of them did that.
Better than I thought she was but of course she has alot of problems. Her damage is probably the highest in the game but that about all she offers and untargetable ult.
Also I have to agree in being no mid game. Late game champ are like mid game champs now.
Early game champs got nerfed.
People exploring with this new patch. Balance is upside down now which is interesting in a way.
You juts use sweeper. Sweeper kills Temmo dead if he tried to control teamfights and lead you into a mushroom field, just drop it and they’re all disabled.
For those instances, yes. But sweep doesn’t last that long and there can be a crap ton of mushrooms everywhere. Cooldown prevents actually going around and knocking out wards/mushrooms, IMO.
hate playing with people who don’t even use their trinkets. lol
they need to buff sweeping lens. make the radius larger on both of them. really just taking wild guesses where the wards are.
