Balancing and the Direction LOL has already headed

Two years since Riot made lol from a team-based MOBA to a quick-paced deathmatch mode. It is very obvious that Riot's goal isn't an actual strategic game but rather a quick arcade-style game designed for Internet cafes. Climbing is slow, simply going for kills is more effective than strategy and more people quit lol. I genuinely want to know what the end goal is, there is no way that actual designers who play games sat down and decided this is a good meta. The game isn't fun to play OR watch.

Two years since Riot made lol from a team-based MOBA to a quick-paced deathmatch mode.

Yet its much harder to solo carry, so the frustrating aspect of this game, the team game part, is stronger.

It is very obvious that Riot's goal isn't an actual strategic game

Idk what is strategy for you, but everything in this game is strategy, from first second in champ select till nexus falls. You can see it in proplay or in high elos. You can identify that majortity of games are full of mistakes and that with right approach, good player can get solid wr.

a quick arcade-style game designed for Internet cafes.

Yeah sure, good old "Its bcs of China" argument, yet games still take 27 minutes on average. Game mentality is how you recognize cafes states, quick openes are on of main signs.

I also wish we had them in Europe, the social part of it is quite interesting. Also its incredibly cheap and their main income comes from food/drinks.

Anyway, believe w/e you want.

Climbing is slow

Thats bad? You have to invest time and you will hardly climb with 45% wr like last season. Thats improvement.

simply going for kills is more effective than strategy

Relying on your opponents mistakes is noob trap. Good micro and macro will carry you above mid dia.

decided this is a good meta

What is? Its almost like its opinion based, I hate times where as toplaner I had to play tank and I hate times where playing jngle role gave you free Elo.

The game isn't fun to play OR watch

Again opinion. And hundreds of thousands of ppl watching pro games and streams disagree.

Riot isnt real, Tencent runs the show, they pick the meta they pick the skins. in 2011 then 2013 Riot sold part then eventully all of its company, since then....matchamking has been garbage for what 7 years? The meta has been warped into a gross misconduct of decision making, Every week things change but the shiny things dont, kaisa top 3 since dropped, Qiyana allowed to be old wukong while wukong sat for over a year in limbo waiting for a rework we finally gunna get but he gunna get nerfed into the ground again. qiyana and kaisa have more skins then rumble and rumble is 6 years old now? So as u can see Tencent took league into the popular zone, all our girls champs are cute or slutty, all our men champs are cool or rugged. yasuo has a katana number 1 pick ban forever. Every new champ is just disgusting on release, remeber when true damage was rare? now set can bop you with 500 true damage lvl 3.

The game is dead, its not league anymore, you play a damage carry and kill, 90% of tanks are usless untill 3 items, and even then if the enemy build the right items tanks are just paper.(and by tanks i mean tanks, not bruisers you know the ones that cant do much damage) We added a new crit item to add more damage to crit builds but didnt nerf any adcs before doing this...so you buff an entire role but dont nerf anything.......Supports are busted compared to what they used to be, supp items are strong and cheap. AP items still outrank most ad items, tank items are so expensive for not really doing much after voids or LDR is bought. think of that, void makes mr 40% less so all my mr items 40% less useful with 1 item.....same goes for armor unless your maplhite, ldr 35% OF YOUR TOTAL ARMOR, not bonus but total....after 1 item...wowzers

The state of the game will not turn around, Tencent is hanging on to these new games for dear life, i dont spend money on this garbage anymore, the customer is always right? yea but not in a communist country and Tencent is from....oh yea....and i aint racist its the truth, when companies sell out this is what happens
