This patch has put yet another knife into this game. One that stands out blatantly is blissey is now a must pick or lose in ranked because there is no anti heal in the game and her have 4 huge heals for everyone in a fight is absolutely busted. Could have been a really good game but they just keep killing it.
I agree with that and the others just show who they want to keep in the meta. It’s just a shame really. I loved the game but they keep reopening the wound.
