I fucking hate Olympics Fencing for this very reason

People solved the game.

​@@luk4aaaapeople optimized the fun out of the game

The solution: real swords, first blood wins

Still takes a ton of technique to be faster - itll evolve eventually again I feint a little more to make those fast twitching mf regret outspeeding me

She has more regen than Garen at this point lmao. On most mages you go oom before you can kill her. At least you can farm first strike before the next patch

@@quaderex3420 also that bitchs lands an e and youre dead. And the fact that she has like 3k hp lategame without items with high resistances and a 3 flash range r.

Not just regen, she actually has second highest base mr in game, only behind Talon by little bit, but she has shround to evade damage abilities, combined with tank like amount of hp, these make technically one of the tankiest champion against magic damage.

The funniest thing about Akali is that she can go DShield + Second Wind because her base damage is more than enough to kill you Early in the game, she's essentially a tank with damage and mobility of an assassin

Yeah but as a mage you have such a huge range advantage you can just sit behind minions for her E and do nothing all lane, it's boring on both sides because getting poked until you are forced to recall is even less fun, at least melee champs are able to exist in the lane against mages with infinite poke especially with the disgusting new burn items and bs.

Its coz ranged top are usually adcs where the damage is in autos but midlane mages have to trade with abilities and in early game mana is hard to regen back

They absolutely are(for the most part... They weren't a while back when varus top was at full force, and maybe now they aren't with tf top, but that's about it... All other matchups are manageable)

@@meo8258 mana is a fake stat

@@Rydlan how so

​@99temporal I mean you are not going equal in cs like azzap states. They nerfed shield regen and second wind like a year ago, you cannot even come close to taking an auto or two for every cs

zooming across the map touching everyone.

Bruh I had to play against rumble mid and that shit gave me cancer.

your view of the game is so delusional, yes the game state is bad, but it always has been, you do realize that people have complained ever since s1? top lane isnt coinflip, its just the most mechanical lane, jungle is super hard and i cant jjst state everything thst goes into it in a sibgle comment, you basically just need perfect game logic and map awareness and always question yourself, adc, i agree, is a stupid role and everybody agrees, support was broken af but now its okay, and mid idk much abt but the game rn is pretty good tbh

@@lucsas9277top lane skill matchup? You’ve never played urgot into tryn, maokai into fiora, riven into poppy

@@lucsas9277 top lane is 100% a coinflip, you play a gwen into any of the usual bruisers, you are going down 50cs with no way back into the game, but you pick someone like ksante into that and you'll be bullying them from lvl1 to 18... its simply dependant on what champion you pick and what is picked into it.. Jungle hard? maybe once upon a time when you had to be thinking if you wanted to take a camp or gank, now you can full clear, while ganking, and still be at 50%+ hp.. it just was not a thing at points of the games history... ADC is just broken ever since like season 2 and is balanced by getting nuked by well everything but with so much damage in the game now, it's not an ADC problem, even tanks get nuked out of the game so yeah... League is at it's worst and has been since people complained about tank meta (which was not fun to watch ofc) but ever since those 2 seasons, the damage rampup has been so nuts that there is simply 0 skill expression in the game and everything is decided by your champion picks.

​​@@lucsas9277 top lane is such a coinflip that other roles are starting to initiate or accept priority swaps just so their toplaner is not counterpicked. You could say other roles do that with each other as well but the swap is almost 90% the top laner and whoever is last in the list. And yes fundamentals are an important thing so a good chogath who knows fundamentals can beat a mediocre Sett or Gangplank anyday but the second his primary counterpicks have any small idea how to stifle or cripple cho, unwinnable. You lose the only scaling you could possibly achieve, they know to build slow resistance, they know your q range. Best example: Cho vs Kayle. Cho manages to bush check Kayle and he can mostly run her down and potentially kill. Kayle is face to face with Cho? She kills him over time getting stronger as time passes.

Played since season 3 and the bot lane thing has always been that way, also top lane has felt the same since the old days, difference is plates and the buff to tower gold and bounties. You can play macro a lot easier now cause you're rewarded way more. Going 0/5 in top lane was way worse back then, also people threw back then but it wasn't as bad cause no bounties. But now a days you're actually encouraged to play better then the enemy cause if you die its more detrimental if you're the carry. Also don't forget in mid lane LeBlanc was one of the most popular along with kassadin cause LeBlanc had a 2 second silence with no counterplay and kassadin also had a silence. Old league balancing was ass everyone here is lookin through rose tinted glasses. Also can't forget ahri buying dethfire grasp and her E having a 20 percent magic resist debuff. So she'd death fire grasp you after charming you and one shot you. Idk why a velkoz main would be happy about old league mid lane, all the old mid laners that were popular completely bodied velkoz. I think azzap just has nostalgia glasses on and isn't seeing it for what it actually was, which was a less skillfull version of league that was way more unbalanced then current league is. Don't also forget season 5 Warwick with red smile, where all he had to do was smite you and point and click ult you then you died instantly. Also don't forget wrigglers latern yi and udyr, where they could feed 0/5 and go into their jungle to farm all game and be stronger then your 10/0 Vayne or you're 8/2 renekton with perfect cs. How you're talking about jg is why udyr and yi and xin were some of the more popular jugglers cause they could clearly quickly and healthy, same with Warwick. All they've done is allowed other jgs that have lack luster sustain be able to sustain in the jg, something people wanted in old league because you could only play specific jgs due to their clear speed and how healthy they'd be.

thank you 🙏

Thanks

Dude I just came down to comments if someone wrote the name of the song. I hear it sometimes but suddenly I wanted to know the name of it and you saved me, thank you so much

@@oguzindahauz you're very welcome

Thanks❤❤

Jungle is not STRONG compared to other roles. It is GOOD in pro play (but behind those busted ADC's). Despite this, Jungle feels and plays bad in ranked games. This is the only role i can constantly play at diamond level and even at that level, most games seem like a complete coin flip from the jungle perspective.

​@@munteanucatalin9833 Jungle has been the best role in soloQ by far for seasons and still is, hate to break it to you but you might just be bad at jungle if you feel like jungle is coin flip

@@munteanucatalin9833 brother, top 10 every server has like 7 junglers end of season.

Jungle is the hardest role, if the enemy jungle is just a little better than you 99% of the time your game will be miserable

​@@dingleberrychipchapichutaonly adcs and top laner think jungle is coinflip

Ur the youngest league player.

@@partel933 in league beta trist mid (and corki/adc) was very common, but it wasnt because she would perma push :/

Thats the point of mid lane

get better? that lane is easy, she s not in an ok spot rn

@@shanzelo man up

​@@shanzelosomeone never played vs a human ori ig

Wasn’t aware that orjanna stars the the game with lost chapter! Great reasoning for sure

neverending story. league was better yada yada yada

But back then the game was new and Riot’s identity was still small, they didnt even know what they wanted league to be. Now though it’s seeming like the outlying issues of back then are what theyre promoting as the norm now. They removed problems of old, and in many cases just put them back in recently. That’s why it feels bad. My biggest gripe is the entire community SCREAMING not to do the mythic item bs. And they put us through two years of the most boring baby cage builds on earth before just removing it. It’s hypocritical shit like that that makes league boomers mad

​@@marcusjohnson8649Or maybe, just maybe, the idea of mythics is cool and you have to try it before you ignore it. Innovation happens when you say yes to things that might not work, giving them a chance, and trying to make them work. Sometimes you succeed and sometimes you fail. They weren't able to do it and gave it enough time and the best thing is, they learned why it dodnt work and the hard limitations that the system imposed on them. I believe the last big Mythic change was in the middle of 2023 when they changed the ADC items and once that didn't work, they had to wait to start of season (effectively keeping the Mythic system alive for an extra 6 months). If you don't take a risk on an idea that might not work, you will never innovate. People cry about old Akali fresh out of her rework, not understanding that the point is to see the limits of a kit. In hindsight it's easy to see why her shroud is broken considering everything else, which is probably what Riot thought too, but you don't know for certain because you need the champion on Live servers to properly test it. It was giga broken and they removed it very quickly. No harm no foul. If Riot would've never pushed boundaries, we would've never gotten Sylas or Viego or Briar or Renata Glasc or many other champs, items and mechanics. I played since season 2. I love League now more than ever. I personally think the game is in a great state. It's still very individual when it comes to carrying. This absurd take on sustain in lane is so stupid. You can definitely get Akali out of lane. And if all she gets is CS then she is technically behind because assassins are balanced around getting kills. They are supposed to be the class the gets the most first bloods and it is still the case. But a great mage doesn't give it to them. Is League perfect? Far from it. But it's in a perfectly fine state. All I hear is people trying to make it not change or innovate or improve and just bring "the old times" back when people didn't know how to fking play. The skill level of players has increased on average so much that, bringing back those old game states is absurd. You can't do a proper comparison without taking it into account. Heck, watch Pro from that time. A lot of stuff there isnt vwry impressive by today's standards. I'm not trying to be antagonistic here and lick Riot's boots. I just find most arguments to be so shallow in regards to game design and balance.

The small indie company just can't fix the game, so sad :(

so it gets worse every season? sick

Riot seem to really struggle at balancing assassins. They went from "good at punishing mistakes" to "can one-shot basically anything at level 6 even if opponent never makes a mistake" to what they are now. I remember really enjoying playing Zed mid back in S4-S5 when your R placed the shadow behind the target because you had reliable burst but couldn't just monkey-dive everyone because you didn't have a "get out of jail free" button. I also remember HATING Qiyana for a while after her release because she could 100-0 any midlaner with an undodgeable combo (that also stunned you for the duration) at level 6 with Serrated Dirk and nothing else. Literally if you ever got into Flash-E range you WERE dead and couldn't do anything about it.

on me bro back in the day like every mage shit on velkoz

"Mages being pushed out of midlane" - FALSE❌️ "Mages I like not being meta currently" - TRUE✅️

@netnooker oh, I myself don't play summoners rift. What I know from friends and watching streamers is that assassins and hwei are most of what is in mid. If you aren't counter picking, most mages tend to falter.

I like it tho, swaps up the meta. Maybe we’ll start seeing adcs mid and mages/sup bot like in forever ago.

@@DRida64 that's just not true, there is one meta assassin (Akali) and everyone else is a mage. Fizz is counterpick only, other options are pretty useless unless they get lucky and fetch kills from bot

⁠@@netnookerNot really. I don’t care for Ziggs but to say he’s gonna function midlane in high elo is delusional. No mobility to roam or rotate, spells too slow they’re easily dodged by all the dashes, no cc to peel himself from jungle bruisers like Udyr or Bel’Veth or top lane/support roams. He’s much better off farming first strike procs on braindead botlaners and trying to poke them out of lane for his W and passive on platings.

No one gives a shit about pro play my guy, solo q works differently it's almost like a different game

Yeah, and in soloQ, Best top gap is way bigger than in pro play, in solo Q, the team don't plays around ADC

In solo queue the game is chaotic because people make a lot more mistakes and are not coordinated, which means skirmish heavy champions thrive. In pro-play there's less mistakes so junglers mostly full-clear which means a slower small advantage objective focused game. That means champions who can get cs leads and priority are good because you as a coordinated team can snowball that lead into bigger leads like objectives, plates, invades, etc.

​@@yasoumain3902that's surprisingly true considering what your name suggests

@@UnluckyHelloing LOL

is that not support role or am I trippin?

I like it as well. Do you know name of that tune?

@@BiZii1024 Daft Punk - Veridis Quo

I still play it and its viable, not as great, and takes much more skill since everything pushes the wave way faster or have way more dmg. Still fun tho

Yeah, and that sucks for bot too. There is no worst feeling for an ADC to have the 0/8 assasin oneshoting You with your support because assasin

​@@ignacioperez5479he's not gonna do it if you respect the roam timer, and if she doesn't get anything she also loses her recall opportunity and it's likely gonna be poked to death as mid returns in lane

@@ST-in7fo "respecting" only works in higher elo, because you are basically losing a bit of advantage so that your mid gets a bit more advantage. The overall gold/exp diff will be positive for your team, but you have to play for yourself more the lower you are.

you talking about the Feral Flare days? Infinite Power!!!!

And then there's me playing Morgana mid due to this very issue.

@@Gabriel_custodio195 Morgana mid was (and still is) one of the safest option for MID. She wasn't viable on mid only in 3 seasons (five, six and nine)

@@munteanucatalin9833 Pretty sure Morg has been a weak pick in any role (aside from the odd couple of patches where she's been playable in jungle) for quite a while. You're not going to be doing anything with Morg mid that you wouldnt be able to do with a different champ.

​@@munteanucatalin9833 and she have literally no threat after missing a skillshot that can be easily dodged

GRRRR WE HATE RANGIES!!!! REDDIT NATION RISE!!!! WE HATE RANGIES!!!!

i mained old syndra and that was not skillfull. there was legit 0 way to dodge her stun lmao and keeping an extra ball in a bush wasnt difficult.
