So increasingly I've noticed a sentiment that people just aren't having as much fun with Runeterra
After the slow ascension of Targon as the best control region.
I wanted to hopefully put together a list of features along with everyone else
That pinpoints what these issues are.
Keep in mind I love Targon personally but this is for the good of the player base
Silences - Stop the go big strategy
Playing a card like Braum as a win con prior to Targon was never meta defining but it was possible
Now I wouldn't ever recommend stacking more than one take heart on him, and you probably don't main deck it
card advantage - stops the removal strategy
Shadow Isles control or corina control used to be a valid way to play the game
But now that every card in Targon tutors for a bigger threat you will never out remove a skilled opponent.
Ledros is a pretty big casualty here
combo - stops the slow speed strategy
While Zoe Lee Sin isn't actually a top tier deck, in fact it's kinda bad
It does punish certain card speed so hard to delete them entirely
cards like trueshot barrage were never great but they were playable in certain scenarios
Image spending 7 mana against a Lee sin with 6 counters and burst speed interaction
Healing stops the burn strategy
Burn aggro used to be the highest played deck in Runterra
Even greater than Kinkou elusives by a long shot
The fact that a 0 champion aggro list doesn't exist anymore
Is really punishing for new players that only want to play a few games a week
Here are just some possible reasons players are enjoying the game less
let me know what you come up with in the comments
