I cant play this game anymore ...

I've never felt that this game was balanced, but it was never so bad as to render the game unplayable.

But now? It has become a total train wreck. Despite an outpouring of negative feedback about champion reworks and balance, Riot has said fuck this community and done the exact opposite of everything we said. I guess the new design philosophy is: if the community doesn't like it, just make it obscenely overpowered. The reworks have completely destabilized the rift and thrown whatever bit of "balance" there was, out the window. At this point, if you don't play a broken champ, your team will lose overwhelmingly. It is literally zero fun seeing these same champs in EVERY game, and having them plow through entire teams, EVERY game. As of now, I'm done with LoL. I think its about time I try DOTA, HoTS, or SMITE.

And I apologize for the rant, especially because there is already a similar thread like this, but I don't feel like it can be said enough. As of now, this game is not fun. The most mind-boggling thing is: the community was opposed to all of this from the beginning and Riot still went through with it. Obviously they don't give a damn about our input or opinion. Honestly, once Magus was removed, everything went downhill...

Goodbye & Thank you for your time.

Fun. Fun is the keyword here.

League is doomed in the long run as long as RIOT prioritizes something other than fun for their design choices.

It is clear to me that everything they implement is 100% related to them trying to grow the competition arena because that's where they make big bucks. Look at the login page - every time you log in, all you see are ads for tournaments and pro players.

What they don't realize is that if the game ceases to be fun to the average player, no one is going to watch their tourneys.

They have been busily flattening the fun out of this game for a long time now. They normalize champs so otherwise unique and fun mechanics are normalized so you can only play that champ in one specific manner.

Darius, for example. Garen for example. There is no variability anymore. Even kat.

The keyword is fun.

Playing league is now a short hair away from being not worth the time.

It kinda feels weird to me that they put so much effort in making all champions balanced in a way that no one has too much power over others. There's always counters but even they could be played well if you knew your own champ well enough.

Now there's this little Skarner minigame with dominion points that boost his stats near every important jungle objective. its ridiculously easy to capture and gives a stupid advantage in most important jungle areas. And this also removes the idea of playing Skarner in any other role than jungle.

And also Morde has a damn pet dragon if he has just damaged drake when they kill it? How do you counter a pet dragon? It's free damage without any risk to Morde himself.You can base yourself and still just wreak havoc to your lane opponents.

So yea this patch feels like they've just trashed their previous rules and now we have these few completely different champs with no real counterplay as there used to be and then we have these 100 other champs that just have to deal with it.

And yea there's also Sated. Still. It's not as bad though but it's still there.

2 games in a row, most of the juggernauts were banned in champ select so i was content, until devourer xin was locked in and demolished my team. Not enough bans, too many broken champs. Right now you are FORCED to play them and its upsetting :(
