I like how Riot...

Is trying to make all roles equally viable, but as a long time player this is what I've realized:

100% chance of winning with 5 equally skilled players.

If top or mid lane loses, you lose 20% of that win chance.

If bot lane loses, you lose 40% of that win chance.

Jungle loses, -20% and their jungle is going to make your other lanes lose making you lose 60% at most.

With the average game time being what, 25-30 minutes, people think games are over at 10-15m, they tilt, you just lost 20% because they've given up. Those epic 1 hour long games are rare today. They weren't back in Season 1-3, people knew they could turn around a game if they could scale up.

Why can't we go back to when one person could carry an entire game? Why could I go 10/0, just for the enemy ADC to kill me over 1 mistake and be caught back up?

I love the game, I still think it's fun, I just think the solo queue that I once loved is practically gone, I can't carry, because no matter how well I can do, other people have too much affect on my chances of carrying due to every role having equal opportunity to carry games.

Kinda the problem with fairness in a game like this. When all roles are equal, one person's mistake can lose people the game. While fairness is good, it does get irking sometimes.

And personally, I'd say that tilt is one of the biggest influences on winrate. People tilt way too easily and give up way too easily because of said tilt. You can win some really unlikely matches if you stick to your guns and just try to do your best.

Solocarrying is a symptom of A: Extreme snowball, B: Role inequality, both of which a lot of people have been complaining about. It's a bit of a weird case where people want both snowball and inequality to be reduced, while maintaining solocarrying potential, since the game revolving around one role takes some of the fun out for some players.

Cuz you went full dmg and their adc is actually something 8/2? I dont know. mb that? Why he should not be able to do that?
