LoL boomer who played from season 1-7 with some questions
Used to play league back in high-school quite a lot. Back when everyone were summoners and there was a weekly in-game newspaper. I'd consider myself pretty good at the time, having been gold in NA prior to the introduction of OCE servers and then diamond. That said I stopped playing back in 2017 and I'd like to check in on how much has changed and get some advice for getting back into it. I suspect the days of Shyvana and Mundo being the only good top laners and Zed being insta ban are long gone.
From what I've seen on Reddit, roles don't really exist anymore? It seems like the most bizarre champions are being played, primarily in bot and jg. What caused this transition? I can recall people trying to play Ziggs or Ryze APC back in the day and it was dogwater. You'd only see them score horribly.
I used to play Lulu, Renekton and Jax top and Lee Sin and Nunu jg. From what I've seen Lulu is exclusively support now, Lee Sin and Renekton have been nerfed a lot and Nunu has been reworked. Is it still worth trying to bust out the Lee Sin flexes or is he heavily outdated now? Any recommendations for top laners that play like Lulu? Heck any champion recommendations at all. Who's new and fun, who's strong and oppressive, who hasn't been touched at all so I'll actually know what I'm doing?
Cheers ears
Edit: is Janna shit now? Why does no one play Janna? Janna rocks!
