The (unbalanced) state of Live Play makes me disinterested in watching Pro Play.

The more fun you have playing the game, the more you want to extend that fun by watching the game. I am watching the game less and less. This includes Youtube and Streams of my favorite streamers. Still like them, but the way they play now (both themselves and other players interacting with them) just sours the taste. The flashy meta designed for Worlds is somehow actually making me not wanna watch worlds...

Hell, I am playing the game less. Especially on champs I don't main unless ARAM. Picking something for a fun normal hasn't been the same in over a year. The lack of team builder might be a factor in this also. Every rework and new champion makes me think "welp, I can't interact with that with about 50 champions, guess I won't play them."

Anyone else notice the same trend? Because I can't be alone in this. And if it effects enough, changes might be required for the better.

I do think this season has been weak due to balancing issues but I still watch pro games. I honestly wish there was more of a rotation in champions used like can't use same champion in back to back games I think it would make it more exciting

I still like proplay more than streamers. And tbh i dont feel like its flashy at all with this ardent cancer meta.

With two classes of characters all but eliminated from consideration, it's rather a dull meta.

Riot for whatever reason has decided they want a game of the ADC and his or her four toadies with the mid being the head toadie.
