I've been playing this game since season 1, there may be some things I like and dislike about any season. But as balance goes, season 9 is the worst. I see basically the same few champions in every game. Whatever is op at the time, not enough bans. I'll take juggernaut meta any day. I don’t get how a game can be decided 5 mins in. In a majority of my game someone is dying 10 times in 5 mins. The enemy jungler stay busy getting every lane non stop… like hes not farming in his jungle but lane. The jungler on my team afk farming, letting the enemy get all the objectives/buffs with no contest. I even leave lane to help them whenever they fight, losing on xp and farm to only come back to lane for it to be 2v1 while I am behind from helping. And the jungler still afk farming. Match making is a joke. I win one game than lose 5. I don’t understand how this is. It isn’t about me playing consistent. I find it doesn’t matter how I play, if I am going 7 0, trying to help lanes and bring proactive. None of that matter if your teammates are a sack of potatoes players. Every time I log on, I think about quitting…. Feels bad as I recently spent a few hundred on lp… is the only thing that is making me hesitate to quit. Another issue of the season is smurfs/boosters, they were always there, but it is much more noticeable this season. The rate that they seem to be in the games is 4/5 games there are smurfs, if not more, its not even fun a lot of them are not even shy about it. They will talk shit and admit they are smurfs, besides their 60%+ win rates. Riot needs to give them a reason to stay away from smurfing, I know this season they made it take them longer to go through the lower divisions. By doing this, they are ruining games. Either allow smurfs to move up quickly or give them some kind of incentive to stay on their mains. I don’t know how many games I lost due to enemy team having a smurf, when the smurf is on my team I wont complain though. It just takes one to carry a game most times. Also, what is up with the prices on skins, there use to be packages with lots of skins and champions at a lower price bundle deal, now its 1 skin and many chromas, a boarder at a high price.
