You know this game is going downhill when...

...ADCs kill tanks as fast as they kill supports.

...the entire forum community points something out and Riot doesn't listen.

...bugs reported in the Beta section of the game still aren't fixed by the time the content goes live.

...patch notes have to explain how and where to play a champion because their overloaded kits make them semi-viable everywhere.

...when the jungler pool goes from 50% of the champion pool to 3-6 champions over the course of 5 seasons.

...when developers kneecap supports to prevent them from going anywhere else in the lane setup.

...when items, summoner spells, and other champions kits are nerfed to accommodate certain vision-impaired monks.

...when items, abilities, and entire champions that promote strategic play are removed or reworked so they stop countering flashy reflex-based champions.

When Destiny has more lore than their game

When still suffers from the same bugs reported 2 years ago. When people don't know who are. When needs counterplay because he is overloaded but are fine.

when people who verbally abuse others can still log on to their account the next day

When immobile mages aren't allowed to be viable just so mobile assassins can be stronger

When sustain becomes less powerful instead of bullying in the bot lane just for flashier plays

When only Alistar and Maokai can actually last 5 seconds in a teamfight out of all the tanks

When Veigar's "compensation" does to him more harm than Zed's nerf did to him

When HP becomes more of a stat used against you rather than in your defense

When lore gets completely erased and replaced by big fat question marks

When mobility is such a big advantage every top banned champion has it in some way

When a support like Sona pays for oppressing while there are others that go full-agression all day

When melee top laners that can't jungle get completely kicked out of the meta, and ranged, new, kiting champions are released to make them even less successful

When AD champions get %HP magic damage to make it harder for tanks to itemize against them

When every new champion needs to come with two more passives than the last one

...when representatives of said game force themselves to sarcastically announce to the world that they know how healthy a certain assassin is to the game.

...when a certain role consists of only 4,EDIT:5 champions.

...when banning certain champions literally force teams to play certain champions

...when a game wants community feedback but doesn't use it

...when the only time you can kill a certain character is when they misplay or are bad at that character

....when said a certain character forces you into specific items,spells and play styles

...when you are against a a certain character and killing them is no longer an option,your only goal is to survive

damn im qqing about a a certain character a lot

...when a certain role is now pointless EDIT: so pointless,that they walk into teamfights with mainly one goal: to die.

...when a game claims to try to hinder something but secretly nurtures it

...when Riot adjusts the RP costs because "muh global economy"

When teambuilder matches you with a silver adc vs a diamond one. Team builder has to be the single worse matchmaking across all modes and its their newest most advanced matchmaking feature lol.

...when you are afraid when RIOT buffs your champion because you know it will get nerved next patch. ...when you can predict which LCS picks will be nerved and which ones will be not. ...when a champion considered useless (Lissandra) starts seeing play and "suddenly" they are "very op such broken". ...when Nidalee gets a rework. ...when someone at RIOT says that "we'll keep adding mobility to everything because mobility is fun". ...when you have to pretend your champion never bought DFG because you are afraid they get "compensated".

When Riot hires one of the worst known balance directors in gaming history to balance their game.

When Ping has as big a factor in deciding games as strategy.

When Riot shits themselves and nerfs a champion when the problem lies in another champions kit.

When Riot isn't reading this and skims through here.

When mages get nerfed for having a weak early game resource that scales better lategame, but champions without mana have lower cooldowns then them at all stages.

When strategic counter abilities such as clicking on someone to stun them are removed because it isn't flashy enough.

When Riot is uncreative in changing a champions kit and finding good solutions, and comes up with quick, heavily flawed problems to throw on a champion in a rework and promises its a solution.

When evelynn gets a "compensation Buff"

When Riot will never read this

All great additions. Let's show riot why their game is declining! Since they're too blind to see it..

When I have more fun a Dota 2 pub w/ all russians than in a lol pub.

Everyone on the balance team, including Ghostcrawler, still has a job in this industry.

...when I've written more/better lore in my creative writing class since January than riot's entire lore team has since they scrapped the League of Legends to replace it with...nothing.

When weak and underplayed champions get unjustifiably nerfed or "reworked" to be even weaker and/or more underplayed.

When they allow people like CertainlyToxic to continue creating champions and releasing them.

When the community is ignorant to the point that the community only sees the bad in what they are doing

my main already got nerfed to barely useable

and they slaughtered my other main

{quoted}

..when you want anyone who doesn't pick top tier #LCSbigplay champs in LCS to do poorly in fear that riot may nerf them to the ground if they outshine the #LCSbigplay champs...

(feel free to add your own)

I was going to post this damnit. Anywaym, I got one, ..when the meta is so stagnant that anything outside of the standard ~20 champions gets the crowds cheering louder than the gameplay

Wow, in the time I was at work the league community has this much to say about the decline of league. STILL gunna ignore us all riot??

If someone picks Amumu or Volibear in LCS after the tank jungle buffs, ima shoot a bitch.

when every other thread is a bitching thread (not this one I like this one)

im scared i like champs like and others that might get nerf for no reason when theres plenty of problematc champs in the game ppl have been complaining about for months now

I'm thankful that the champs I like to play are shit tier so they'll never see LCS play (Singed, Poppy, Nasus etc.). Although I'm safe from the nerf hammer the rework cannon might kill me soon like the poor veigar players.
