The game needs so much work right now to be fun again.

Lets start with the most least fun aspect of the game right now. It snowballs out of control before the 10 min mark most of the time. How can we fix this? Well first blood gold contributes to this but it has been a core aspect of the game for a long time. First blood on towers also causes games to be snowbally. There are two factors to snowballing games. One being gold and having a significant amount more than your opponents and, two being how easy it is to take down towers and push for objectives. Now a while back riot gave faster gold income to the lowest gold generating ally. We thought this was a good thing because it gave more resources to your support and jungler, but was it?

We as a community have become accustomed to the way the game works and we all seem to like it, however we do not like the games feeling like they are out of our control. Introducing the second main problem that the game has, "Too much damage". Its sort of ironic that this also contributes to the snowballiness of games because it allows people to start doing tons of damage after they build one item which they got from their first blood or first tower gold generation. The game would slow down if we reduced the rediculous amount of damage that champions deal. Every single champion in the game needs to have their damage reduced! This would make games less snowbally and fix the global "damage creep" problem.

The main problem we have now is, how do we do this without having to adjust every single champion in the game? Well for starters we could lower the damage on almost every item in the game as well as lower penetration items. Secondly we could adjust the numbers from runes. Do we really need 20 AP at level 1 with a rune? No! make this like 10 or something. Early game damage also contributes to the snowballyness. Lastly as a last resort kind of thing we could give resistances to every champion. This needs to happen for the health of the game.

I seriously don't understand some of these posts. The game in my opinion is the most fun it has ever been. There are so many different builds you can go, and since you can change runes in champ select you can determine what to go depending on the matchup. Champion winrates aren't even that bad either. All the people that I see make posts like this happen to be hardstuck low elo, so honestly my advice is get better at the game, and stop playing the exact same shit that doesn't work every game. The game is more fun than its ever been, but just like anything its only really fun if you're winning.

Of course its more fun when you win. Its also more fun when games are close. Right now wins many times feel boring. And so do the losses.

That's my opinion even though it doesn't matter. And I think that is more the complaint.

People were losing just as much in prior seasons and winning too. The wins and losses just felt different.

Did you miss all the posts from veterans a while ago? Here is mine.

Gist of it is I think the game is in its worst state in quite a while and its making me sad to watch it slowly go downhill.

Would still think of Diamond5 with almost 1k games low elo, and still would assume you haven't risen a division in at least a few months, or in this case October since it's as far as Op.gg will go back. I refer you to my original post.

What does that have to do with the game being fun?

The game is more fun in season 7, but worse than other time i experienced we can improve BY A LOT the current state of the game

sometimes it can be small changes just like nerfing ornn and vayne for instance

This game is beyond a workable state The employees dont care about the old age and seem to lean more and more towards "Quicker games" Riot is trying to compete with "Overwatch" and other similiar games that have short matches

What makes it worse is we all know RIOT GAMES will never admit to a mistake and will enforce shitty balancing on the game eventually killing off any opposition because people get tired of whining and complaining about the same old things

This game currently is just something you play when you dont anything better to do and have 20 - 30 mins to spare because goodluck prolonging games past 30 mins

Would love it if they would LoL is its own game it has its own vast community and yet its all coming down to "What appeals most to the majority of our audience"

Which is mainly BRONZE SILVER (Me but don't belong there) Low Gold all the recent changes are to incentivize BIG PLAYS from the less then decent players ((Again me)) But are these changes wanted? Fuck no This is just stupid theres no reason for all this damage No reason to try and get better at the game and no reason to continue playing

Dissidia NT cant come sooner ;/

Cut all damage via items in the game by 33%

Yeah less nerf damage items and allow tanks to be even more busted xd

General Esdeath 1 votes

And how would that bust tanks? Tank items include damage too. Sunfire does a lot if you sit near it for 10 seconds.

You can't tell how nerfing out classes makes an unaffected class stronger?

General Esdeath 1 votes

Except a lot of tanks build damage items too. OP doesn't want champ changes, so we're going for the next best thing.

Tanks do not build damage items. The most damagy things they build are either titanic or cleaver which we're not talking about

General Esdeath 1 votes

item 3068 deals aoe magic damage per second item 3742 deals bonus damage and a slow on AA item 3001 increases your magic damage item 3075 reflects damage based on your armor

Just because an item isn't "OH MY GOD TONS OF DAMAGE AND BURST" doesn't mean it's not damage. Next time you fight a tank look at their build and which type of damage hit you.
