Riot Needs a Rework!

First things first, i have been playing since season 2, and almost everyday at that. at the start of season 9 i was hopeful that riot really was improving the game however here i am now unable to win a single game in the last 20 games ive played. at first i thougth it was me so i took a break and came back with a fresh mind. nope i still feel powerless in games. I am a sup main secondary jg, the sup role has become so boring and un impactful ive found myself just stright up bored mid game. i remeber the days when games lasted 40+ mins, now that never happens. games only last about 25-30 and its almost always completely one sided. i also play mf adc alot in my off games. i remeber carrying games with her like it was a bots game. now i feel as though i do less dmg than any assasin, fighter, or mage; to top it off im more squish than them as well. so please for the love of league, Riot stop making the games faster and more streamline, thats not what most player ive spoken to want. we dont want to play more games we want more quality games. idk what exactly has changed but the level of impact that i as an individual feel i have on games borderline 0 at this point. the games are simply won by the team who pick the most 1v9 champs and get the most kills before 20 mins. Gone are the days of true comebacks. Stealing dragon or baron means almost nothing now. How can we as players get riot to actually listen to us???

Because what people like you seem to want is to join a game and instantly have the enemy Nexus explode and show the victory screen.

If you're not winning games, you need to modify what you're doing. If you're not having fun, perhaps you've outgrown the game or it's outgrown you. Not everything is supposed to last forever, but blanket horseshit statements like "Rito isn't listening to us" don't hold any water when you can't even make any suggestions as to what they could change.

thats not what most player ive spoken to want

"Make the games longer" isn't a suggestion. How would they do that? Because I hate to tell you, you and the "majority of the people you've spoken to" are in the minority. Nobody wants to be in 60 minute "quality" games. Do you not think Riot has enough data (countless hundreds of millions of games worth) to determine that quality and satisfaction go down when games take forever?

You say all these things, but my experience is literally exactly the opposite.

You can get Riot to listen by stopping this sensationalism and anecdotal "evidence" and actually using data to form logical requests of Riot about the game.

Lastly, Riot is not going to be able to please everyone. There were a ton of complaints when it didn't matter how well you worked as a team, one player on one champion could carry the entirety of the game for their team, no matter what any other lane/champion did. That was a shitty state of the game. If the only time you can have fun is in that sort of instance, please feel free to go find another game of playing.

And no, "most kills before 20 minutes" doesn't correlate to win percent in a statistically significant way.
