[2022] This Is The Most Unpleasant Preseason That I've Ever Played As A Non-Bruiser

Where you around during league of Bork, league of mogs, or league of cleaver? Those felt way worse than now.

I recall some of the meme involved transcendence using the overstacking CDR to add up to a lot of AD. I know Malphite during this time could do a Seraphs + Frozen Heart stack into all AD teams.

What's your opinion on the situation of AD bruisers right now when it comes to their damage output and survivability?

In my opinion its important to have positional power diversity in League. If all agency is streamlined, the game loses a bug chunk of strategy.

That being said, my current gripe with the game is that it feels like you're playing with and vs items, rather than champions. Items are warping kits a bit too much. Some are even giving champions mechanics that belong within a kit, class, or role.

I wanted to inverse your statement into a question to get a bit more out of it. I'm not and never will be a game balancer lol.

Should these melee champions be able to hard carry the same way that a Twitch or any other ADC has been able to for like a decade? I have emphasis on same way because of the trade offs between roles.

Also, do you think it's possible or fun to decouple more ADCs from supports? I say more as a safe clause for edge cases such as kindred, graves, quinn, akshan.

The fact that you think solo laners with early game agency should be able to hard carry a game like an ADC that needs to be babysitted by a support and doesn't exist before minute 20 tells me everything I need to know about the garbage mentality driving the game's most awful changes. Classes are different for a reason.

the problem comes from continuing to pump more and more power into bruisers and toplane without actually changing any of the macro or gameplay involvement for everyone else.

So now toplane sits on an island for a bit then solo decides the result for the other 8 people in the game, which is the worst possible scenario.

its more what the game has swung towards, it doesn't have to be some insanely snowballed riven just a 2/0 fiora or irelia with normal bruiser items that are super overtuned (death dance, jaksho, botrk right now, but there seems to always be something) and they just always seem to have disproportional impact from their performance due to how much better bruiser items and runes always are than every other classes.

It never feels like bruisers have to work hard to have 1v5 levels of impact compared to every other class, simply because when they get a small lead all their items are so unfair (both give a ton of damage and make them unkillable) no one can stop them.
