Fixing the LCS

How does RIOT fix the atrocity of competitive League of Legends? It is easily the worst esport out there right now. They have no competitive leagues in their arsenal and all global events that are competitive are dominated by Korea. It's getting a little embarrassing and funny watching "Professional League of Legends Players" continually step up on this "great stage" and get dominated by 2 teams consistently for years. LCS is a train wreck in NA and EU. If I wanted to watch the same team win something over and over again, I'd just watch women's basketball. RIOT has ZERO ability to make their product exciting. They might as well sell the company to Reginald and let him dictate who wins the LCS every year from an office. Watching these blowout games in the finals is pretty ridiculous. There is only so many times RIOT can hype up a series and have it end in a complete destruction. I feel bad for the fans who pay good money to go watch that in a stadium.

Other sports have a sense of excitement and underlying hope that anything can happen, but LCS and even LCK is just rough right now. No excitement. No competition. No fun.

It also doesn't help that every sports analyst they hire is a biased bumfuzzle who gets his panties tight every single time a certain team (you know the one) appears on screen.

I just want RIOT to make some kind of change to make this sport exciting again. The last 2 to 3 years have been tough to watch as a fan. I might as well save my time and just know that the same exact teams will win a split and go to the finals every single time AND that every single international event will be won by Korea. I mean... why watch when you know everything that is going to happen? Not trying to be a Debbie Downer about the whole thing, but I can't help but think that there is something RIOT can do to get people excited to watch this esport again. I've gotten to the point where I watch game one and just shut it down.

I don't follow or watch lcs but here's everything I think I know about it

  1. Skt usually wins
  2. Tsm is the best American team, but loses to Korea
  3. Cloud 9 is worse than Tsm, but the only other good American team.

Is any of that accurate?

Okay. I've been seeing these all split. I'm gonna make this short:

It's the end of the split. What's your point to even express such feeling? Why now particularly in the NA LCS Finals, especially if you're watching the steamroll that's going on? How much have you even watched in means of content to want to make the claims you want to make? What did you think of the split as a whole in every facet?

I am darn willing to answer these questions myself but to say there's a lack of quality that needs to be changed is just your opinion. And I find that opinion terrible in a word.

They should pass out refunds in Canada today. That's for sure. No one should have to pay for a product that bad.
