I don't think I have the mental toughness to play this game anymore.

I still like my champs, I like playing them, I like getting kills with them, I like dodging skillshots and outplaying the enemy... but what I don't like is playing with other fucking people that are bad as fuck. I just don't understand how can someone play this game for 5 fuckin' years and still go 2v5 after we get baron and we have the lead for the whole game, just to possibly get one kill, but lose the game. I don't want to rant anymore, but you get what kind of situations I can't take anymore.

Basic logical reasoning is gone in a game where people are so bad they don't even have the skill to get carried. I played placements on another account and jesus almighty, the things I've seen in silver and gold. You guys ask yourselves why you can't climb ? Literally just stop looking for kills like you're a fuckin' junky looking for a fix and focus on the god damn objectives.

I don't even know if I'm gonna play ranked on this main account, because low diamond is even worse than silver. Filled with people that are stuck there and just "goofing around" hehe and going 0/10. ... with all that, add the bad balancing of the game from riots part - you get a rage inducing game.

I just wanted to rant a lil' bit, thanks for reading.

Same here man the game ain't nearly as enjoyable as it used to be.

Around midway thru season 8 it kind of got to a point where the best player on a team can really struggle to carry a game, but having the worst player in the game on your team would almost a guaranteed loss. Season 7 was much more back and forth, and if an individual player's team was behind they could still play safe/smart and have an impact if they made good plays.

Season 8 and now season 9 have become: identify the worst player on the enemy team, snowball off of them, team that starts the snowball deathballs up for the aram at 15-20 min and stomps their way to victory.

Yes I know, its a team game, but there is no question that individual player agency has gone down this season and the game is more team dependent than ever before, as far as league in 2019 the saying "You are only as strong as your weakest player" has never been more true and it makes this game far more stressful and frustrating to play than in previous seasons, where 1 lane Sh*tting the bed wasn't necessarily going to quickely snowball and warp the whole game.

Even last season, I mostly used to play league every day, now some weeks i only play 2 days and when i do play i only play 2 MAX 3 games.

Winning isn't even that rewarding or "feel good" when your team just snowballs and gets way ahead, this season I've only had a handful of games that remind me why I enjoy league (where the lanes/jg matchups are relatively even, and the game is ultimately decided by which team has better decision making and/or individual outplays, RATHER THAN- the game being decided by 1 position having a large skill gap and one team heavily exploiting that and pushing the lead they gain in that position).

I think in large part my gripe is with Riot's matchmaking system, which while it has never been fantasitc, has been utterly awful so far in this season and in the last season.

I really feel you, its shit and idk how to fix it... really enraging (PS: Riot said they wont issue any more EoS rewards to those who get chat restricted this shit sucks because it has happpened to me and this season is absolute garbage, as the name suggests)

PS: Stole this first part but worth noting every time

Any ranked reset that happens I wish to be added to the list of players who request one on themselves - please refer to this tweet https://twitter.com/RiotSapMagic/status/1098820557385084928

Isn't it sad that you're expecting a loss when you win a couple games ?
