I don't know about anyone else but I feel like the game is rotating more around the LCS than the common solo queue player. When was the last time Riot released/ reworked a good solo queue split push champ besides Fiora rework. I care much more about my games than the LCS and it frustrates me that they base the game around a very small group of players, who play it much differently than the rest of us.
It's a team game.
I don't think you understand. This has always been designed with the intention of team based play. People are supposed to work together and rely on each other to succeed.
Sure it's hard to do that with strangers you won't ever see again, but that's how MOBA's work. It's a multiplayer online battle arena.
If this wasn't meant to be a team game then you wouldn't have a 5v5. It'd be a ten player free for all. But it isn't, it's a team based tower defense game.
Sure Riot hasn't always succeeded in making team play actually matter, but that's their intention.
If you don't like that, then just go play single player games or PVP games that don't rely on team coordination.
The problem isn't that they're balancing the game around LCS/top tier players. That has always been the case. The problem is that they're actively punishing people who don't queue with similarly skilled players.
