I think we should break up...

So I've been thinking quite a bit about League lately, mostly how un-fun the game is. I've been playing the game since before season 1 and I have many accounts in Plat-Gold. With this recent class update I think I've reached the breaking point on my side. The game is so un balanced that the game is decided at champ select. There is no variety in the champ selection, 9 times out of 10 you'll see a Lucian vs Caitlyn and LeeSin vs Graves in the jungle. I play about 2-3 games a day, and since season 6 I'm seeing the games end so much faster than before and now with the new Rift Herald, chances are you'll loose an inhib before 20 minutes.

Theres so many things that are going in the wrong direction and Riot is just not addressing the issues and/or making them worse. Think mages update and marksman update. Malzahar Malzahar Malzahar

Every game snow ball like crazy and it so rare now to see a game go to 45+ min and thats what i really miss about league. Remember when you're just waiting on the other team to make a bad move when everyone is full build and you're just waiting for that final game deciding team fight, yeah i miss that feeling. I'm either bored when I win or angry when I loose cuz I feel like theres absolutely nothing I can do to change the games direction or wait towards late game cuz late game is just a distant memory now.

So yeah, I need a break from you LoL, maybe shoot me a text when Malzahar is reverted and when CDR isnt on every single item.

Remember when every single game took 40+ minutes and was just a stall-fest with no effective way to break the turtling, so you were just bored out of your goddamn mind? Remember when you'd reach that point so consistently that the buy-and-sell-a-Zz'rot-Portal strategy came to attention (and popularity)? Remember when early-game champions were pretty much meaningless and you were only ever concerned with reaching inevitable end-game scaling? Yeah.

Those times fucking sucked.

Mid-season patch messed with a lot of things in really stupid ways, everybody is well aware of that and it's not new among mid-season changes. Malzahar's rework was a heinous failure, everybody is well aware of that and Riot seems to want to fix it. People like to mindlessly follow meta choices without any opinion of their own, everybody is well aware of that, it's nothing new, and I'd guess you've done it yourself in the past, too. Rift Herald might be too strong, or people are just too stupid to figure out you need to kill her quickly before she destroys your base, or both.

The game probably is too snowball-heavy right now, you're right, but you're also right that you seem to just need a break.
