It is what it is.
Hi,
So I'm writing this because of my last league of legends ranked game. I am an old player, I understood after 2-3 years that complaining about teammates is wrong. I'm an 1.7M OTP Skarner currently hardstuck D4, D2 50Lp peak s8. I got this rank playing just skarner. Right now with the new rune changes and everything I believe that there is waay to much damage in the game. I mean I'm getting one shoted by so many champions I don't even expect at level 3... rengar, evelynn, camille,lee,brand,etc. I like to play ad-tanky skarner, not jsut full tank, but right now I can t play that because it takes too much time to scale, and the game times are lower and lower... so I'm kinda forced to find a new main champion which I don t really like, because I really love to play skarner. Anyway, this is not the main problem.
The league community is weird. Whatever rank you are is never gonna be good enough, if you are in a lobby and say, I am gold, others will say, gold is trash plat+ is good, if you get diamond everyone will say thing like "d4 50%wr hard stuck trash" if you get master or challenger people will say, ah."master server x, tragic, server y is 123123 times better" even if this is complete bullshit. There is no difference between servers. I played on euw and got same rank easy, I played on NA, got same rank easy. wow. But this is not the main problem either.
Too many boosters making my game not fun. I don t care about boosted people, i just consider that they had a bad game, but I hate boosters, even if they are in my team, don;t get me wrong,I like winning but I don't care too much about it.. I wanna have fun not getting murdered by a master yi with Lulu mid and another zilean bot-lane. The biggest problem is.. they don t get banned, if they would they would stop..also, i would like too see a rule like this: every person must own only one account. I mean..what is the purpose of having multiple accounts.. I simply don;t get it.If it is about money old players spend to get champions and levels on their smurfs, fine, whatever, implement some other cool things you need to pay for, but don't let challengers ruin low level normal games. If I am a new player and hop into a first normal game I can see that at least 5 out of 9 teammates in my team are smurf.what is this? how am I supposed to understand something as a new player if boosters abuse lulu mid with carry champ in the jungle. But this again, is not the biggest drawback.
So, in my last league game I was against a booster ,he was good nothing else to say but keeps flaming me for being a 53% hard-stuck otp, the most useless trash of eune and things like that. I personally learned my lesson and started not to give a shit about these kind of players but my team-mates were all flaming each other for literally no reason..i mean.. It is just a game dude. Today everyone is using the "evemy missing "ping to flame others.. i don't believe this is right.There are so many ways to flame its unbelivable So, last game i remebered everything from the past, the game used to be fun and less competitive, the damage was better calculated, there were no cheaters, no boosting methods, no ardent abuser no meta abusers no nothing. The game is just not fun anymore, and I will do the same thing my old friends did a few years ago, quit the game, its not worth it. At least right now, I don t see any reason why I should pay it.
Fun? Not really relaxing? hell no time consuming? yes what do I get if I still play ?nothing.
So I know the game needs updates, and its never going to be back to what it was. All this change into "bad game" happened when the map was updated.(my personal opinion)So, I demonstrated myself that I am really good at this game, managed to get top 0,19% which is good enough for me.I don't actually regret any second lost on this game, I had my moments of glory in this game, I m proud of me and what I've done and also I'm proud to see my name on the 1st position for most mastery points on skarner on EUNE. I ll probably still play a normal game once in a while( like 5-10 games in a year) just to remember the good old times, I managed too teach my ex gf to play league as well, but I think she dumped me because I was playing too much in the past. Well, this is it, I will be really happy if there will be at least 1 person that reads this and will understand my point of view.
If you guys are not having fun, or making money from this game, I think you should do the same like me.Don;t get me wrong, I m not telling you what to do, its just a sugestion.
Thank you Riot for offering me the chance to have so much fun with my friends, and I'm waiting for the new game you a e releasing, I hope it will be a good one.
Have a nice day.
P.S. sorry for my grammar and English, but I just wanna go and sleep right now so I;m not in the mood to revise what I wrote.Peace.
