League feels like a constant EA URF Event

After 3 seasons of URF being the only game mode the game consists of, meaning, the game itself is literally URF at this point, Iv'e just... Iv'e had it man... I can't play this shit anymore, it's not fun, i rarely enjoy the game, and when i do, it's more than likely because a funny bug happened, and it wasn't related to gameplay what so ever.

Like seriously, it's just not fun one shotting people, and being one shot. I don't enjoy URF, at all, and well, that's all the game has become now. 1 shot nukes every 2 seconds from a seemingly growing pool of broken bullshit.

Riot used to tone down the broken shit, now they fight broken, by breaking other shit so it's broken enough to compete with the other broken shit.

I haven't seen one single thing done as of recent that wasn't focused on increasing damage, and selling skins. I feel bad for the art team man, being forced to draw the same boring skin lines over and over again for multiple champs must be exhausting. And honestly i feel like it's not even the balance teams fault, i feel like their nuts are completely clenched down on by the uppers stuffing their pockets with the $$$$$ the game is generating from skins and LCS.

Look, i can deal with meta shifts. I can deal with being forced to play multiple lanes, and being forced to auto fill, and also play with auto filled. I can also deal with shitty matchmaking that is putting silvers and diamonds together. I can deal with a broken pos client, constantly giving me AFK's and DC's on my team.

What i can't deal with is the core game changes. I joined League in Season 2 for outplays, for strategy, teamwork, micro/macro, whatever you want to call it. I could build a certain way, i could play a certain way, and the best thing? It was ADAPTABLE. Another best thing? If you got a kill or got killed, the lane wasn't over, you went back and forth multiple times. Now? None of that exists.

You don't have to position well, or control waves. You don't have to time shit because you know you can use it again in 2-3 seconds anyway. You don't have to worry about getting caught out. Nothing. Just pick one of a handful of Riots poster champs, and succeed. Build paths are as bare bones as it gets, with fewer options than ever.... And with turret plating well, no more going back and forth lanes... No adapting, no overcoming. Build damage, do damage, win. Build damage, not do enough damage because other champs do more damage, lose. Can't build armor or mr, doesn't do shit but cripple you. You do nothing, and still pop in half a second. Yes there are a few exceptions to that rule, but not many. Most matches become a "go in get one kill and die" rinse repeat cycle, where you are dead longer than alive with the ridiculous death timer, assuming your team didn't lose or ff by 15 already that is.

I gave up on ranked, i don't have the time to "GRIND LP". Ide rather get wins over a period of time, instead of grind coin flips on a system that forces you to lose. I don't like gambling, and time is my most precious of resources that ide rather not spend to gamble. Been unranked now since the ladder reset and runes reforged. I just don't see a point in it anymore. It doesn't express your skill, it expresses your luck, and how much time you put into the LP coin flip grind.

And normals/arams are just... repetitive. See the same handful of champs on ARAM over and over, and normals. 3v3 sadly is being taken out without being given a fair chance, so i won't even put it down as a mode i played but don't anymore :) And TFT is not my cup of tea. I'm out of things to enjoy, as is my friends list, as is many streamers, as is apparently a fuck ton of the playerbase according to the boards, nobody is happy with the current state of League, except Riots wallets.

Id'e just really like to see the game go back to being a game, or at least focused on a little bit more like it was still a game, and not a Tencent cash cow crop. I miss fights lasting more than a few seconds, and i miss outplays consisting of more than "HE MISSED EVERYTHING BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS 500 MOVEMENT SPEED AND DASHES, BUT HE LANDED AN AUTO ATTACK OR A LOCK ON AND STILL 1 SHOT HIM OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE GOD, THE MAN THE MYTH THE FUCKING LEGEND".

TL:DR, stop fixing damage by giving other things damage to compete with that damage, treat the game like a fucking game, stop being lazy greedy pricks, and fix the fucking game so people can enjoy it again. We are bored of URF, it's not fun anymore.
