We've all accepted that the game is unbalanced, and it's time to change that.

I'm going to be honest and blunt. We've mostly accepted the fact that this game is currently unbalanced and very out of whack. The new runes won't fix itemization. We've been supposed to have a better system for catching feeders and trolls 2 patches away for 6 patches. Certain champions have gone months without work on them when they dominate the meta with their kit. Everyone shows up to complain on the forums and plenty of consensus is to be had about these issues and the lack of responsiveness from Riot fixing them, save the few loyalists who defend the meta to the death.

If you've come to accept it, and just want to complain about it in passing while continuing to play the game hoping it'll get fixed time and time again, you're not helping yourself. If you're truly unhappy with the direction the game has been going the past 2 years, you're best and most viable solution is to boycott League. Go play other games, and keep an eye on Riot until the meta is brought back to a position that you're comfortable playing in. Stop buying skins and champions in the store while simultaneously hating the gameplay, you are paying a company for doing something you don't want it to.

Pretty sure you missed my point. You (the angry customer) ranting about some stupid issue you have with Wal-Mart (riot) while everyone and Wal-Mart (riot) are sitting there staring at you. The customers (the players) and Wal-Mart (riot) could probably not care any less that you will never shop (play) at Wal-Mart (league of legends)

No ome cares man, just walk out the door and go to the Wal-Mart on the otherside of town. I guarentee you no one will recognize you and no one will miss you.

Except you obviously missed my point. I'm not talking about me or my grievances. I just said, "If you don't like the direction the game is going, instead of showing up on the forum to talk about every single problem while accepting that it will never be fixed, leave."

I love that every time anyone criticizes this game some happy little camper like you shows up to start smacking at the self-esteem of someone who said nothing wrong. Does it make you feel big? Oh, you like the game and don't think theirs anything to change? Congratulations, this post wasn't meant for you! You're the one who can continue to play the game happily! Nobody cares how well you enjoy the game in it's current state and nobody cares what you think of the other players, I'm offering a solution to people who aren't happy.

I didn't even make a comment in my whole post about what I'M doing or how I feel about the meta or balance right now, so you are making fun of something I didn't even say. I was making a judgement of the massive swathes of posts on the daily about the game and the issues people seem to find unbearable, yet put up with just in case they eventually get fixed. 10/10

For me it's pretty balanced. You say it's not yet still you give no examples. It can't be perfectly balanced and I like it this way.

Boycotting a game over balance issues is stupid, as every single game in existence is just as, if not more imbalanced than LoL.

Most games are more balanced than league right now.

Even every previous version of league was more balanced.

Knowingly and willingly playing a game with balance issues that don't benefit most players is stupid.

Every game is imbalanced. The devs try but they're only human.

The biggest balance swing of League's history is on Wednesday lol, and while it won't be balanced whatsoever it will have a bunch of new stuff to play with and move the meta quite a bit. Also, the current meta isn't half bad aside from hypercarries having really good early games and the nuisance known as Ezreal jungle, but you clearly haven't been around for a while if you think it's worse now than it ever has been.

I'd also like to say, and I'm not shaming you here, that you are at a rank where the meta literally doesn't mean much at all. Even in Gold and Platinum where I'm usually at you can get away with carrying entire games with an off-meta pick, you don't have to follow the meta to a T until you are high diamond. Of course it helps, but if you are slightly above average on a certain character or strategy then bam, you can beat the meta.

It's doesn't matter that we have a big update coming NOW, that doesn't change the fact that the game has been really unbalanced and fluctuating for about 2 years without much assistance.
