And looks like nothings changed still.

Solo carrying = Impossible. Solo Queue Ranked = 100% coin flip. Games = Stomped or Be Stomped Games Determined before 15 minutes People dying over and over because damage too high Fed 12/1 players getting 1v1d by 1/9 players because damage. is. too. high. Dodging every skill shot but still dying to autos Getting killed level 4 burst Skill doesnt matter anymore

Actually pathetic how bad this game is now. I dont know what Riot was thinking with this, I can 100% guarantee if there is no solo carrying and games are determined before 15 minutes in Season 9, then im out of here. Riot has already lost a lot of pro players, and long fans of league. Yet fail to do anything about the game because they want LCS to be fun to watch. Riot nothing is going to make LCS fun to watch, the only way youll get more viewers for LCS is by having League be popular with players. Nobody watches League to watch people go at it for fast action EXTREME esports, nobody cares. People watch it to learn how to get better, and see how much skill those LCS players have. A small majority of people watch football games of random teams. Just like how a small majority of people watch LCS of random teams they dont care about.

DoubleLift even made a good video on how bad this game is in its current state. Yet I see none of the arguments he makes come into the game. I cant find one person in Diamond+ that actually enjoys this game, the only ones i find that enjoy it are low elo players who find the runes fun, or people who play like once a month.

Fix the game. If Season 9 is the same or just as bad, League will be a dying game. Even if you repair the game Season 10, people will be long gone. Just look at CoD, nobody likes Exo Suits, they keep exo suits for 3 more games, now not as many people are buying CoD. Everytime I talk to someone about CoD, they say they havent bought a new CoD games since Advance Warfare/Ghosts.

Any particular reason you crossed out your own champion choice? Not all champions can solo carry, even if they rack up some kills. Some champions can get a lot of kills (someone like Riven or Pantheon for example), but they don't have the means to really be the sole reason a team wins.

Looking at the actual scoreboard, the game looks like it was really good, so I don't understand your complaints. Besides, it's a team game, not a "I'm the boss, you do what I say and we WILL win" game.

Complains about stomp or be stomped... Then also complains about comeback kills from champions who are behind? If you're 12/1 and die to a 1/9 champ, you earned the death. There's no possible way they should have beat you without extreme outplays and skill or you fucking up real bad (something you said doesn't matter anymore) It sounds like nothing can make you happy.

Solo carrying = Can and does happen. Solo Queue Ranked = Its supposed to be that way if you are where you are supposed to be MMR wise. Games = While snowballing is still pretty prevalent, there are a lot of ways to stagnate a game to make early leads pointless that no one uses. Games Determined before 15 minutes = Not? Again, many ways to stagnate a game and people make mistakes. Play it out. People with leads get careless. People dying over and over because damage too high = Damage is high, But Riot has already covered this and said they were working on it. Fed 12/1 players getting 1v1d by 1/9 players because damage. is. too. high. (see above) Dodging every skill shot but still dying to autos = That's part of what ADCs do? (guessing that's the complaint. Rather vague) Getting killed level 4 burst (then don't overextend or take bad trades early?) Skill doesnt matter anymore (if skill doesn't matter then why are you complaining? Just play these overtuned champs and do the very things you are complaining about)

44minutes game U potentially trolled(im sure that build is at nexus death,but who knows) Their comp is potentially better, even if u hidden some champsxof yours (who knows why) You have no trolls, just traders..

Yalls team-comp was squishy as hell, idk what you had as Jayce but the rest of your team built 0 bonus health, if i had to say I would say the beefyness of Jax/urgot won it for the enemy team.

Idk if you had first pick, but if as last pick you picked jayce when your team was already super squishy then even if you did well the loss is partly your fault, because you could've picked a carry that builds into being a bit tankyer. You probably wont like that answer but yea

League is already dead, because this kind of agile game development actually changes the identity, functionally speaking, of the title under the feet of the players.

At least with CoD, it was pretty obvious that they could've fucked up with a mechanic and corrected the changes, but in this case it's a slow process that only targets small minority groups of the community, until you've completely lost the interest the audience you once had. Unfortunately for riot, they're finding out that there's only a finite number of people interested in playing a game like league.

Riot seemed to assume that constant change was good, but really adapting to what's needed is good. Like a living animal, change is only good if it increases the fitness to an environment. The players are the environment that league has to operate, and unfortunately by only having a single version of the game and constantly changing it, they've adapted to an environment that doesn't really exist at the cost of fitting the one they're in.
