Do you wanna make your team and enemy jealous of how good you are? Do you wanna climb the ladder in becoming the best league player!? Do you want to be able to join an eSports team for league and compete!? Well too bad because everyone does insane damage level 1 and unless youre an ADC or Jungler, your role dont matter one bit. But remember to have fun on the rift and keep toxicity at a low even when youre getting stomped and cant do anything about it. Good luck out there summoner!

The game is no longer about you as a player, but your team. Shorter games means damage is too high and is just reliant on who has the better team. Longer games means you can actually carry the game as a solo player due to damage being low. "Solo" queue isnt even revolved around skill that much anymore. Its just based off luck, did you get the team that knows not to overextend, ward and take obj? Grats you win. Did you get the team that overextends, 1v1s enemy champs when theyre 1/7, jungler afk farms while enemy jg constantly ganks, never wards? Welp gg you lose.

Can we go back to the old days of league, this league is just boring and unfun. I see so many people post on the boards about that game being wack, I have never seen this many people complain about the game. Normally before season 7, people would only complain about 3 things (Duskblade, Ardent Censor, Lethality), and youd only see about 3 posts a day complaining about the game. Now its every day im seeing 20+ posts complaining about the games balance. Yet Riot still doesnt respond, Riot wont acknowledge us as a fan base wanting to enjoy their game.

Fix damage, fix power creep, fix catchup exp, balance the keystones (who even takes inspiration anymore besides Ezreal?), fix health regen (0 reason why I should be seeing ADC players build Dorans Shield in plat 3+). If Riot did all this, the game would be way more balanced than this mess we have now.

Riot needs to introduce a ff@5 for when its already 1vs6 in kills. You can pretty much tell its gg.

(Joking btw, people wont even ff@15 when its 14vs44 in kills lol)

This game is just a mess.

You can't call it a solo game, because solo players really can't win by themselves often.

You can't call it teambased either because a single solo player can fuck it up so bad that they lose aswell.

There is both too much and too little influence on any single player. it comes down to how the game is structured. it is a solo (or duo) experience for the first half, but the second half is a team experience. The solo experience directly affects the team experience. if you fucked up real bad in the first half everyone is going to pay for it in the second half.

The way to fix the game is probably to remove that all together, without jeopardizing the separation. the solo experience into the team experience is what makes league a good game.

i can't think of a good way to fix it.

omg can we stop? So many posts every day like this. Ok we get it..you dont like the game anymore. Ok move on, its not the only game out there.

So what if you cant solo carry anymore. In my opinion that just means the game is the way it should be. ITS A TEAM GAME. The game should always be which TEAM can out preform the other TEAM...not just which team has the better PLAYER.

Except the fact that ADCs find themself unable to do anything more often than not because they are the most team reliant role.

So you getting mad that you cant ''solo carry'' while listing ''ADC'' ( a role thats the most team reliant ) doesnt really make sense :SS..

Game is ruined. We knew it was coming when they hired GC and low and behold the end is nigh. People will always play it but its going to take a big massive hit. They can't fix those things now because they are fundamentally broken or set in stone leading the de-evolution of the game. It'll be at least another 3 seasons for them to undo the damage they've done in the last 3.

In both games, you were fed and lost but on the other team there was only 1 person who was fed and dealt much more damage than their team (kha for the 1st one, teemo for the second) these 2 players did solo win their game, while you didn't. be humble and play the next one, this is not riot's fault if you can't carry hard enough.

The problem in this picture isn't that league is based around teams more https://imgur.com/0f1A4ek It's that vayne is 15/2

get real. If you were 15/2 I garen-tee you would've obliterated the enemy team. And that's not just botlane having a huge impact on the game, that's just the result of your bot lane playing poorly/their bot lane playing better, in which case, the better team should win. Anyone who's fed is a nightmare to face, and it's not just about your jungler or adc, it's about everyone. I've seen plenty of tops carry my games, I've seen plenty of mids carry my games, EVEN when bot is fed.

This IS a team game, complaining about having a "bad" team really just doesn't make sense to me.

Yea. Right Now it's kinda sad to see the state of this game is in for the past 2 seasons. As an ADC main you think I'll be enjoying myself since we are the most powerful class and busted class and I'm not. It doesn't feel like "Oh I got this massive lead and I'm solo carrying this game to victory through good positioning, plays and made sure the other adc is useless!" No, It feels like its on a coin flip rather or not if my jungler or their jungler comes to gank first bot and get first gold for killing the tower or if my mid or their or top or their top comes down bot and does the same thing. Now if neither comes from both sides (rare) (low elo) then it feels a bit better but then It feels like I'm dueling the support more so then the enemy adc because if the support is constantly healing or shielding or both while ccing me down so the enemy adc or me as an adc doesn't take damage then what is really the point in skill expression other than how well you play around people? Then once you are ahead you have either a so much Burst that aren't tanks die in 3 to 2 shots cause I most likely have 4 items while they are on 2 or 2 and half with the same amount of gold. It's like "wow how is that fair? That doesn't feel like I out smarted the fed mid,top, jg player!" It feels like I got handed free upgrades for no reason even though I got just as much gold earned as they do and those 2 to 2 and half items they have doesn't give as much useful stats as my items give. :| Like come on Riot if you want to people to watch and play like people watch and play football then fix the broken shit. You don't see a quarterback throwing TD's every time he has the ball because his back to base to get item that is so cheap to buy but gives him crap ton of good stats. That is game is truely skill expression.

i don't see why you should have won those games though? just because you were playing good that doesn't mean you should've won against 3-4 enemies that were playing good themselves, while all of your team was playing bad.

{quoted} The game is no longer about you as a player, but your team.

Come on man, the game has always been a team game and about team performance, if you wanna be the star go play some 1v1 game like Tekken 7 or Street Fighter 5 or some shit.

Fuck off outta here with your whining. It's a team game, your entire team does and should matter in order to earn victory. Teamwork makes the dream work.

You just sound like a sore loser who can't cope with the fact that someone has to lose, and about half the time statistically speaking that's gonna be you.

What I dislike most about the game at the moment has been wonderfully summarized by Bricky: "One person can lose you the game, but one person cannot win you the game." I agree. If one person besides maybe the support falls behind, or any person feeds 2 or more kills to a high priority champ, you lose. Outplays are hard to do anymore. Catching up is virtually impossible. Non-AP supports aren't as viable. Bruisers don't do as much, while juggernauts can 2-shot you and live with full or at least 3/4 HP. Damage on every champ is either too high or too low, with some exceptions. Healing does either too much or too little. Some items are almost mandatory, and some are almost unable to be purchased except on a select few champs (despite them being rather neat items). To top it all off, LCS is boring to me and all the friends that play league with me. I would hate to see this game die but currently that is the direction I see it heading. I hope riot will see this, or maybe some point similar, and correct their mistake. I don't see any further growth for this game currently. I do hope it improves.
