League of Legends no longer excites me

I can promise you, it has nothing to do with me getting 'bored'. The game isn't fun, you can't carry despite everyone having stupid amounts of damage. Ironic isn't it? I had more of an impact if I played well back when we had LESS damage.

Nowadays, I just play from time to time because I have nothing better to do. But one thing's for certain is that I don't actually look forward to it.

I've completely avoided ranked, because I can go 11-0 and still not have enough of an impact. NOT ASKING FOR MORE DAMAGE but actually reward players who play well.

This is what you get when you try to force a game that wasn't designed to be short, to end faster. You can be playing, playing, suddenly Nasus or Jax gets 2 items and it's lategame. This sudden change is so stupid, and all for what? To cut the game length by 5 minutes. Because 'younger gamers' prefer more causal games like Overwatch and Fortnite.

League was a good game with a loyal playerbase, but corporate greed for quick short term revenue holds more precedency. I guess the market analysts simply couldn't shake the fear of new trends off.

If Riot is so scared of newer games, they should have released a separate game, and not try to change something fundamentally important to this one.

I just had a game, 16-6 on Fiora, couldn't impact the game enough because Vayne and Twitch got to lategame. :(

It's just so.. I'm just speechless.

Getting kills doesn’t win games, often low elo players feel entitled to LP because they stomped some mechanically brain dead bronze-gold player in lane and got fed. Sure getting kills is great, but you won’t win as much as you should if your macro skills are terrible and you don’t understand the elo you’re in. There are so many things to improve on, that’s why high elo players are constantly getting better, you can learn better macro, better map awareness, wave management, matchups, build efficiency, power spikes, etc. there are so many things you can learn to improve, it’s just a matter of wanting to improve and using the resources you have to do so.
