How the fuck can anyone -ANYONE- play this game anymore and say "It's fun"?

Look at my last 20 matches so far, not counting bot games (so total of 16)

  • Urgot - I do great but end up losing cause bot had a fucking Singed and just fed
  • Kai'Sa - teammates and I lose lanes hard (except for Riven? i don't remember). End up losing.
  • Neeko - I get paired with a fucking Yasuo and because I'm still learning Neeko and don't play mid, he just snowballs and becomes unstoppable
  • Sona matches - mixed because either enemy player got fed or my teammates got fed. A few matches went like 7/23 and 9/23
  • Ivern - 14/7, early Surrender
  • Morgana - UTTER SHIT! 7/38, 8/23, 38/52 with the Lucian just fucking off and dying in side lanes cause he lost early, and my last match of 0/14 #0/14. HOW THE FUCK IS THAT FUN?!?!?

With the acceptation of one or two Sona matches and Urgot, all of these games have pretty much been stomps. People just blowing up left and right, early wins in lanes end up snowballing, nothing feels fair or fun. All these matches do is two things to me: make it feel boring when I'm winning, or stressed/pissed when I'm losing. Barely anyone plays tanks anymore and when they do, they're usually choosing ones that can deal damage or build damage. It's not like we have enough in the game as it is already!

And it just doesn't end there. Everything about League just is out of wack when Riot tries to fix or add new things! Runes Reforged have been incredibly unhealthy for a while now, with some just being absolute staples to all champs while others are just forgotten and never used (does anyone even used Spellbook anymore?) Items added, like Spear of Shojin, have caused major issues balancing certain champs like Riven and Jax. Damage has just been going up and up and further up over the years. There's no view of it coming down or maybe giving better defensive items.

No, instead Riot needs to hop on the hype train and bring out a fucking autochess game mode like Dota is doing. Gotta keep up with trends instead of refining game modes like Nexus Blitz, a mode that I actually thought was enjoyable, or bring back Rotating Game modes. And even then Riot seems to be fucking that mode up too. They don't fix the items drops, certain combinations and champs are overpowered, it's got bugs galore, I...

I just don't understand what Riot is trying to do anymore. Why are they OK with this skirmish, super high damage burst meta we're in right now? Why are they trying to put out a ranked mode already for their autochess when it's still about RNG? How do they think that's fine for determining skill?!?! I hate the direction that League has been going for quite some time now. I hate always feeling like I can't do something about the damage, about matches that just snowball in the enemies favor, going on losing streaks, getting more and more mobile champs with fewer and fewer counters to them.

I don't know, I'm frustrated, I'm mostly just venting but I can't stand how the game is. It's not fun. I can't understand why Riot doesn't see that. And I kind of wish that this next preseason/season will try and fix that but let's be honest, it's not. It's more than likely going to get worse and people are still going to keep playing regardless. Fuck.

Because it is fun. I understand balance and metagame well enough to understand that minor balance issues for competitive play have absolutely no small-scale effects in my games, and dont pitch fits at a game over random insecurities.

I have no idea what your MMR is, but if you are seeing anyone die much over 10 times, it must be truly tragic. I sometimes see that sort of farce playing blinds for lolz, but never in draft or ranked.

People who say the game is fun atm :

  • Premium suckers
  • Riot employees
  • People who cameback after s4 or s3
  • People who downloaded league just for TFT
  • Lux mains (I don't think they say that anymore because Lux got nerfed by 0.01% of her power)
  • Yasuo mains
  • Top Ranged champs players
  • Teemo mains

Lux mains (I don't think they say that anymore because Lux got nerfed by 0.01% of her power)

I am content because i dont need to see bandwagoners with no idea how to play lux doing things that make my eyes burn.

Kinda just sounds like you are under the impression that the game owes you a victory every so often. ..

I'm not saying I am owed a victory, I'm saying that the game has turned into "one side stomping the other side" and it's finally breaking me. I don't mind losing games if they're close or feel fair. But with how the game is right now, it doesn't feel great to lose since it's all about who can snowball harder and who has higher damage while the other team just sits there and takes it until unanimous 15 surrender or 20 minute surrender

I mean, as long as you aren't playing in like diamond+, it's very possible to comeback and make games even....

Same reason heroin addicts say heroin is fun.

Same reason smokers keep smoking.

Same reason people stay in abusive relationships.

They either can't stop, or they don't know any better.
