Gear and Level Scaling

[SparkleDuck]

With gear and level scaling in this game I'm left kind of feeling a lack of progression. I'm doing the same damage now as I was 20 levels ago.

When you hit level 50 and CP 160 do you do more damage, is it the same damage as level 30? Do you feel more powerful and have a sense of progression through the game? Or are you pretty well the same pleb at high level just with fancier looking gear?

levels don't make you stronger. Good combination of sets and skills and champion passives are what make you stronger.

A lv 10 with a well thought build is actually doing more damage (and I mean easily the double) than you are right now.

Levels in this game are an illusion. Your progression comes from your build and build alone.

Leveling up in any game is an illusion. Some gaming company ought to dispell the illusion of having us pretend to level up.

Back in the day when I was fairly new around 200 cp just learnt my rotation and was doing around 16k+ dps now I'm max cp and squeeze out easily 41k+ dps without any buffs.
