literally cant stop playing. And even tho the meta doesnt favor me i still have a good ass time. Can't wait for the new vanguard reworks maybe it will add something even more fun to this game and my champion in particular

wow, a post that is positive and talking about how they are enjoying themselves instead of the reverse. Is it opposite day?

exact opposite for me lmfao. meta is decent for my champs and the snowbally style fully synergises with my playstyle but i cant stand playing the game anymore XD. Still one two normals every now and then is fun with a premade or two.

I play a lot of tanks, and hated the tank meta in season 5. I think having the champions you like be the cancer is what removes the fun from them.

Playing for fun makes LoL an awesome game, playing purely for competitive, and seeing every tiny thing as the reason you lost, makes a lot of players hate it.

I've come back after a break, have no intention of hitting ranked, but I am enjoying the game :)

Maybe the post has sarcasm?

GelmousFeb 20, 20173 votes

when you don't give two shits about who's broken or unbalanced and just try to have fun you will have fun, don't be like these cry babys in the boards who cry and nag about everyone and everything no matter how balanced the game is you will not enjoy it.

Big Black CrocFeb 21, 20172 votes

I dont know about you but the game isnt balanced

too much champs"cough" "rengar" "cough" running around one shotting sht with little to no counter play. the game has become a balance mess ever since they changed the jungle

GelmousFeb 21, 20171 votes

never said it's balanced i stated even IF it gets balanced you won't enjoy if you're like that

ModKnightsKemplarFeb 20, 20172 votes

Yeah. Despite its faults, this game is one of the best out there. And Riot is constantly trying to improve it.

There's a reason that people spend time complaining on these boards instead of just playing something else. It's because this is more fun, and we all see the potential for improvement in almost every aspect of the game. We all care. So does Riot.

That's what keeps this boat floating along.

Sire HippingtonFeb 20, 20172 votes

I complain on these boards AND play something else, because right now(well, since S6) it's not much fun, but it once was my favourite game and i still hope it might get back to even just some off it's former glory.

idontgiveabotherFeb 20, 20172 votes

You know whats fun about league? Getting in a queue with 3 other friends in a norms, playing a soraka (adc) aatrox (hybrid shit) bot lane and winning the lane. Sadly we still lost the game but we had a damn good time playing it.

inplaneFeb 20, 20172 votes

This game is definitely still fun with friends. Going solo is hell.

Sp33d Zer0Feb 20, 20172 votes

Thank god someone said.

I play immobile ADCs, and even I am having fun. Sure I hate some of the champions that are OP right now, but I also like being able to build a defensive item and not a last whisper.

BlakiepugFeb 20, 20171 votes

I love this game, but tbh I'm not too excited for the vanguard update. The class updates are pretty underwhelming in my opinion and I'm scared they might change Nautilus.

Nick Da ChipFeb 20, 20171 votes

I have fun most games. When people start playing the blame game is when this game sucks the most.

kek im to busy playing fire emblem to play this, at least i can 1 shot people with a assassin AKA Lethality skill :^)

playing fates ftm

Xela SyabFeb 20, 20171 votes

I enjoy the game too, but I think Riot needs to balance damage output (turrets feel weak, objectives taken really quick, teamfights end in seconds), death timers, nerf Inferno dragon's impact, nerf gold on Baron Nashor (it gives a huge buff why give so much gold to team?), nerf or remove first blood/tower gold. When you look at all these issues League has 0 rubberband mechanics to come back from a loss except for the enemy team throwing.

Arsenic SulfurFeb 20, 20171 votes

And they're doing just that on PBE. Masteries that boost damage are all getting hit unless it's minuscule like Grasp and first turret has been reduced. Also you can rubberband if they have a Pantheon at 25+ minutes :^)

GGLineaRFeb 20, 20171 votes

That is a very good question.

I hate this game, but I love this game.

People who can't have fun need to go play AP Bard Mid a few games. Scientifically impossible not to have fun spamming Laugh.

Tangy CitrusFeb 20, 20171 votes

The one part i dont enjoy is games being decided 10 minutes in. If the enemy team picks a late game super carry comp vs your early snowball comp, and they end up snowballing its definitely a game over.

EpicanianFeb 20, 20171 votes

what is this... a ...positive post on the boards??????? I haven't seen one of these in years

KoKobotoFeb 20, 20171 votes

I used to play a game called Lost Saga and I found it way more fun than league of legends, however the balance just got shittier and shittier and the game became more pay to win. Three years after dealing with this shit I just decided to try League. Had the things I liked about Lost Saga in it but wasn't pay to win or unbalanced at the time so I switched.

League of Legends is a great game so I see why you enjoy it but the balance is shit, I've found a replacement for league being For Honor and now have completely pseudo-quit. I stayed with league for the three years, after season 4 I think the game just started going downhill, the only reason I stayed was because I had nothing else to play and the game was still fun although had many cancerous stuff.

I'm not even sure if I'll come back after the global damage nerfs coming up because my mains Quinn and Zyra have become braindead champs since the rework. I like fighting games a bit more anyways.

atm this game is fun af because no mages

golden age of league

Shrek LuigiFeb 20, 20171 votes

it's the only online game I feel motivated to play--still being actively developed, staff genuinely cares about accessibility issues, no season-pass p2w garbage.....same couldn't be said for a lot of the AAA games on the market today. Glad to hear you're enjoying the new season, too.

Mira Arya EntheFeb 20, 20171 votes

Meta is against my champions. But that said, I don't mind it. Every new meta is something new to explore and have fun with. Only some aspects of a particular meta get so toxic that I dislike it. Black Cleaver Meta, EoN meta and 3 Cinderhulk tanks per team meta are some metas I despised. That said I always still have fun with the game or I would just... quit.

TheAzebanFeb 20, 20171 votes

People forget this game is supposed to be ENJOYED. Sure, take it seriously, but there is no point in FF'ing at 20 when you only 4 kills behind. God forbid someone plays a game and decides that instead of forfeiting they are going to play to learn, or hell, play to have fun.

People need to cheer up! You learn more when you lose, plus if you give up you are throwing away all chance of there ever being a victory.

Hold on, this post didnt ask for nerfs on a balanced champ and still got upvoted?

MrWasjigFeb 21, 20171 votes

Are you playing the game under the influence of some sorta mind altering substance? If so, where can I get some? =_=

If only to drown out the shrill bullshit of my "teammates". This game has more pricks than the reception at a hedgehog nymphomania clinic....

I think what makes this game fun is its mix of interactive elements. If one part of the game you find stale another you find perfect. The simplicity of farming in lane, for example, draws many players to the game # Nasus Mains

AfterTheFallMay 9, 20171 votes

Its not. At all. Riot has continued to make this game worse and worse with every passing season. Its a disgrace to the game we all fell in love with years ago. Its losing popularity bc of it. Season 4 was the last time this game was remotely fun
