(Vent) I'm a smolder main but I think smolder needs to be banned every match because of how OP he is rn
I'm mastery 40 on the little shit. If I play him it's an almost instant win if the jg isn't camping me constantly and if I'm vs a smolder I'm fucked regardless of what I play. Death fire is way too op on him and I think I'm just gonna move to perma banning him every match just to offset the potential chance of someone else playing him so we don't instantly lose because my support walks into every smolder Q and W like a toddler into oncoming traffic while my dogshit viego jg one trick is off coddling our 0/5/0 garen because he screamed the loudest.
Rambling aside with that first part, I think this sucks the fun out of the game for me a bit. Unironically there is no more challenge to smolder anymore because now it's just picking the arcane comet preset, switching comet to deathfire, building ER then boots, then cleaver, and then boom. Win the game.
No longer is it the excitement of potentially turning a game around that may have seemed hopeless to carry with a passive elder buff. Now it's just machine gunning Q with deathfire burn and everyone melts before you even GET elder.
Sidenote: I'm sorry for all of the bitching I am quite drunk at the moment.
