Is league losing its fun?

League used to be a fun game... Though I have not played for long and only played from patch 4.5+ I'm playing the game but it has become impossible to have fun, it used to be that I'd win and lose based on my own decisions and play making and when I learned to play the game correctly I'd win the game I know what I was doing and lost the ones that I played like and idiot. Nowadays everything is about team team team, yes I can understand that it is a team game and that makes it really interesting, but when it's to the point where it becomes impossible for one person to carry a team, it starts to suck... I've been playing my games and since I often get to be mid I always go and roam bot and top when the right moment arrives but it always seems like even if I were to go bot give my ADC a couple kills and take twice that amount, it doesn't seem as though I'm really helping them out through the roaming, especially since there is also that now the minions get buffed based on the turrets and the average level, so that means if you're ahead but your team isn't picking up their own weight you lose the game. Having a game based on teamwork and coordination is fun but having a game where it's based on EVERYBODY'S laning doesn't make it fun, I feel like their is no more potential in teamfights except for what came from each individual lanes, so if your top failed, you don't have a front line, if your mid failed, you don't have a burst against the enemies, if your ADC fails, well by all means, you lost the game pretty much.

The point that I'm trying to send through this is to tell Riot that maybe they're not trying to get the fun in the right places. The focus on the new ADCs is really interesting and adds a lot to the game, and so does the new items, but, though I suck at really understand what is strong and what is weak in the game, I feel like the game lost a lot... And I used to love this game and since I'm a big fan I love to go on youtube and watch what people think of the game, but recently the only thing I see is talk about how league isn't as fun and some just quit it entirely because there's something either too much or something missing in the game. I wish I knew what it was so I could point directly to what I'm trying to say, but I can't. Another thing is characters are starting to be too similar, for example if you look at Vayne and Kindred, where are the differences? Mostly in their ult and the fact that Kindred has a wolf, not to forget Kindred's insane healing. Vayne is an amazing late game champ, but all her abilities, the so called "jungler" Kindred is literally a early game powerhouse Vayne, she has a percent health damage ability which needs three hits which is literally like Vayne's silver bolts the only difference is she needs to activate it which, it has a cooldoown and it's not true damage, she has a q which is literally a Vayne q with 3 arrows instead of one and her w passively heals her which is the one thing Vayne is lacking since she'll often get poked and her ultimate just makes everyone say GOD DAMN IT and her passive can continuously increases making her possible to scale late game, plus she can create a zone with the wolf which again is the one weakness of Vayne. Now I'm not saying that Vayne isn't good and that you should directly go to Kindred, I'm saying that it's literally the same thing but whether you want certain strong late game, but weak early or whether you would rather strong early with a late that you need kills to get which with your sustain should be really easy.

Overall I just want Riot to go on youtube for a bit and watch a few videos and see what other people say instead of just guessing from what they think, I'm sure they're trying their best but the problem is maybe they're not trying for the right things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XKjGvjY9pg There was a video in which I wanted to put here but forgot the name, and who made the video but he was talking about why people started leaving league of legends to switch into dota or smite, I feel like it was Jeremy GamingCurios but looking at his vdeos it doesn't see to be him, the other thing is if you look at popular streamers, some have actually edging into other games, for example Jeremy just moved to overwatch and I barely hear him talking about league anymore, sucks that I can't find more proof as I should of done this when I was watching those and not after a game that I got upset over (actually multiple failed attempts to carry (5 lose streak) by doing what is required to carry yet my team still can't live over 3 seconds, and then I got tired and just let myself be carried yet we lost that game even more)... I don't know if I'm the only one, if so please vote down below, I just want to know whether this seems like it's something legitimate or if it's not even close enough to be true, hopefully people will read this and either answer my pole or write a few comments, it would be nice if Riot could see that there's a problem (if there actually is) and they're not adjusting at the right places and what you guys think the problem is.
