Unpopular opinion: "The season's balance sucks" is the new "my teammates suck"

You can not like a season's balance. You can not like a season's meta. You can stop playing the game because you no longer find it fun.

you can't say that you're losing because of either of those first two reasons. Part of being a skilled player is learning how to adapt to new meta and shift your playstyle to those metas. Millions of people can do it, why can't you?

For me it's not that I'm losing games and blaming it on "league's balancing sucks"

The gameplay just isn't as fun as it used to be. I'm not ready to give up the game yet either, though. There is so much potential and when it's fun, it's really fun.

The problem with this season and comparison to the previous ones is that it is more punishing for bad players.If your team plays poorly(or you play poorly) in a single or couple players early game its a death sentence. In previous season if you died a couple times you could buy a few defensive items and play passive till you could get into the game. This season if the enemy gets a few kills they start snowballing out of control.

Your Opinion is unpopular for a reason. It's because it fails to address the difference between this season and every other season.

As far as the "adapt to the new season" nonsense. Games would need to last long enough to learn anything really. Theres so much that goes wrong with a game so quickly now its hard to break down what you could of done, if you could of done anything to begin with.

I mean its not just scrubs in low elo saying this stuff, it goes all the way to challenger tier.

I am currently learning tons about the game right now in my ranked games. Games don't need to last 40 minutes for you to realize where you fucked up at the 5 min mark.

There is still no excuse for you not to climb other than that you are poor at playing the game. Millions of other people are doing a fine job at adapting and climbing through rank, why can't you?
