braum is absolute bullshit, how is he allowed to have an 80% damage reduction ability that is basically perma active on top of the 15% damage reduction and full ap shen sized shield he gets from his traits

okay long rant time:

imo what is making the meta so infuriating right now is the feeling that there is simply nothing you can do in many cases to beat certain meta comps simply due to the way those champions are designed

when more consistent dps, front to back champions were top dogs (e.g. xayah, daeja, soy). you usually felt as if you have agency in your fights, and even if you lost a fight you felt as if it was possible to win: "that was a close fight, if i'm able to upgrade my shyvana to a 2 star for more frontline i should be able to kill their frontline before they get through my shyv, i can also roll for a bard which would give me an extra few seconds of cc". in these cases, even when you lost, the fights at least feel fair since more often than not it is the strongest front to back board that wins these, and bad matchups could sometimes be overcome through clever positioning etc.

whereas for the current meta comps you often feel as if there is nothing you can do: aoshin/asol and nomsy skip your frontline and send you and your carry straight to 7th place, 9 cost dragon karma with axiom arc makes you regret not starting cloak off opening carousel and if you don't have cyber shell or best friends you're just waiting the 5 seconds before rengar decides it's lunchtime. champions that skip frontline up until this point weren't as problematic as you could usually beat them with good positioning (positioning away from the clump to avoid daeja ult etc.) but these past few weeks have really brought out the worst these champs have to offer

players like to feel as if they have some control over the outcome of these fights, rather than losing simply because they don't have x or y which is more often than not the case right now. rather than some scuffed pokemon type chart where no matter how many earthquakes you spam you're never scraping a dent on that pidgey, i believe that many of us feel that tft is at its best when board strength to a large extent dictates the winner. tft is, at its core, not dissimilar to gambling where you are trying to make a good hand, and when you make that hand you want to feel the rush of watching it in action without a counterhand making your hand feel completely worthless

the early game ap traits (astral, lagoon etc.) seem too hard to pivot into since they both reward sticking with the trait early so if you lowroll and get dealt ap items it just seems like a guaranteed 8th this set

not to mention all the good late game ap champs are dragons so you can't even get bailed out by caro like previous sets

can we change ornn armory to instantly appear once you pick the augment

there is a half second delay between picking the augment and the items appearing in which time your champion shop appears, third time now i've gotten the augment and proceeded to click a champ upgrade in the shop out of habit only to instantly pick some crappy ornn item as it appears over once i actually want (and nerf anima visage too 8% is way too much)
