I really miss the good old days when we had a laning phase and a team fight phase.

It was such a fun time, it made a 40 minute game feel like it was two 20 minute halves. You had the laning phase: poke and keep track of your mana whilst trying to kill the enemy laner as well keep your creep score up. And then you had the team fight phase: keep track of enemy CDs whilst trying to get a pick and or catch someone out. or initiate a team fight for yourself.

Its true that league is just a shell of its former self. We no longer have to even try and conserve mana, like I don't believe I'v ever gone oom in lane in seasons. You don't have to poke anymore, you just all in at level 3 and or wait for your jungler to come and dive tower with you.

In team fights one team is so far behind that their is no strategy any more, one team just rolls over the other. This game used to require so much thinking and strategy and thats what made it engaging and fun, I'm not saying it requires 0 strategy anymore but its definitely been reduced by around 70%, CSing doesn't even seem to matter anymore, you can get rolled over by an enemy thats down 50 creeps on you.

Jungling is brain dead now, I know you youngsters wouldn't believe it but camps used to actually kill you.

Please revert league back to season 3, 4, and 5 it was uglier back then but so much more fucking fun.

League needs to be slowed down. It used to take like a minute and a half to walk toplane without boots, I shit you not.

TLDR: -No laning phase - no mana conservation -less strategic warding due to lack of available wards (added last minute). - no poking due just constant all ins - Hyper amounts of damage, mobility, CDR, Etc. - Jungling is too fucking easy - No strategy.

Laning phase is 10 min max now and it makes me really sad.

Their game may be a lot easier to play, but at least RITO can finally get 8 years old kids to use their mom's credit card to buy flashy skins

Yeah, i miss too 20 minutes of laning and 20 minutes of finding out which ADC is better oh wait, i don't

current meta isn't perfect, but it's surely better than "after 35 minutes only ADCs get to play" meta

true bro i agree with you after fiora rework in my opinion this game and balance started being wrong and yes jungle is too easy to farm even a 12 years old kid who plays first time league can farm in the jungle but old jungle even pro players cant farm old jungle old league of legends was a real chalenge with skills and even if some champions dosnt need skills they got counter but now some other needs skills and others not and got too much power at all and a champion who need skills can win all enemys well its fair to win enemys but not alll even if you are skills this unfair the counterplay also dosnt exist anymore the only reason i still play league is skins and grapchics all the other game sucks for me and is getting more boring after some changes i mean its 50% good and 50% not enjoyable same with reworks too i dont say riot failed at all some new things are awesome but some other things not only on reworks but at all should be reverted in my opinion and i really miss season 5 and season 4 specially old quinn and old fiora please riot some changes at least needs to be reverted because they destroy the balance and is not so fun to play quinn any more i mean new fiora is good also i dont have problem with new fiora or old but old quinn was way more fun to play that new please riot bring back some old changes it will make the game fun to play again

I kind of miss season 1 jungle where you went cloth+5 pots and needed to use all your potions to full clear.

or maybe a better game slither so league has become a game for kids ? really riot and i dont care if fiora need skills to win well i hate her for 2 reasons a skilled player can 1vs9 your team and a noob can feed as hell and destroy your game specially that hapends when fiora hitted the rift as reworked fiora

It would have been nice if Riot "Bro Cult" Game could have given a chance to its more mature gamers to play the game that League was developing into back pre S5. It would have been nice if instead of doing mandatory updates, players could choose whether to update their league of legends. Maybe then not so many of us would have quit already leaving the kiddies and cod bros to claim a majority stake of this game's voting power.

Oh well, what the hell.

Purely from a ranking up perspective I like the shorter games. Would you rather spend 40 mins to get 22 LP or 25 mins to get 22 LP? If only longer games provided sightly more LP, like even +1 LP per 5 minutes past 25.

Let's just hope that riot fires ghostcrawler and the game is not dead by that point. Chances are though by the way it's going is that the game will probably be played by foreigners and Riot will lose all the NA players. Like I can see the game being enjoyed by those in cyber cafe's because the limited time and after all it's a game. But the I wouldn't count on the game getting better for many seasons.

People complained about laning phase being "boring farm fest's" like ????? That's literally the point. Farm minions. Get gold. Buy items. Get to the point of team fighting and split pushing. League of Legends isn't meant to be like CoD or Overwatch where there's almost always a fight happening.
