i have a 28% winrate in ranked.

games end before i even know what to do anymore.

its not fun. ive been playing since s3, and been a steady 49% winrate across every season since s3.

i had a 10 month disconnect from june s6 to march 2017 season 7. i really don't feel like i'm absolute shit. honestly i feel like i play about the same as i played before i peaked.

but this game is just so much different now... its not even the same game.

i don't get it.

there's so much damage in this game its ridiculous. the game changed from being strategic to who can proc tlords and or clownfiesta bot/top first and get drag/rift herald/first turret blood first.

it doesnt even feel like you can come back from a death in lane anymore... sure technically you can completely outplay them. but you can't do that all the time. an even the slightest mistake now leads to you getting 0-100'd in 2 seconds flat before you can even react.

and god forbid you do end up doing well on your lane. you're still 100% reliant on your teammates lanes not making a single mistake too.

so many games ive started out really well, only to realize during that 5 minute stretch of me doing well in lane, botlane died 3 times, or jungler died, or top died multiple times. its extremely demoralizing. because now i dont have to sit there and think about how im gonna outplay my laner. Now i have to think about how to outplayer multiple fed champions who can all delete me in 2-3 hits.

tank items dont even feel like they do much anymore with all this damage floating around.

the time's i've played tanks or built tanky items, and i've felt like it doesnt even matter. the items have been getting "compensatory" gold cost cuts to make them "feel" worth it after the stat cuts on them. Hell i built a item 3143 item 3742 against an adc and it still only took him 2 aa's to drop me to 45% with item 3036 item 3031

i hate that i've played and had a general understanding of this game for 4+ years, since aatrox was released, worked my ass off to improve and pull a 49-50% winrate across my accounts, only to have a 28% winrate in this season.

tl;dr this game has changed so drastically from the game i loved, that it's no longer fun to play, or learn in. after 4+ years and 3k+ games, i'm offically done.

this game is no longer league of legends to me. it's something different, and worse.

What rank are you at? I dont think till atleast mid plat, that games are over after a few early kills. Shitters throw the game over and over, im like plat 4 and maybe 1 out of 30 won games that i win is a clean stomp where we just close it out without throws.

Took a peep at your op.gg

Yes you belong in Bronze and yes you deserve to keep losing. You play top lane Bard with ridiculous builds, and even when you're support you build crappy options. Learn what you're doing before complaining.
