Everything snowballs too hard, cheap new champ abilities that are either useless, gimmicky, or flat out broken, strange ass metas.

IDK what to do anymore. This is why I bought legion and I've been sticking to WoW mostly, but coming back here and there feels more and more less inviting. This isnt specifically about Kayn..... but his Redish form is fucking stupid broken. His Blue form doesnt SUCK, but thats cause he can still do loads of damage while being unkillable in red form. The reasoning is like this. I can do enough damage to delete a squishy target and then tank like 3-4 people.... or I can be squishy AF and just go overkill on one target that I can already delete in red form.

Not him specifically though. Its a little bit of everything. I still kinda like league but i feel like its more of a chore to actually get on and play now jsut to make sure I keep up with whats going on and so-forth. I'm not sure why exactly I'm not having fun anymore, but it almost feels like games are jsut too snowbally, leads are too strong, and champs just feel too oppressive as of late. They all do so much stuff its like, the same champ repackage multiple times and the only thing that separates them is some gimmick that goes with their theme. Some too complicated and/or niche and they fade and dont ever see play, like RiP Aurelion Sol. Some go balls to the walls do whatever you want in any team comp, and some are so dependent on certain factors its like why do i have a reason to play this at all when half the roster is LEAGUES better? I stick to Riven mostly lately cause everything else that I used to like is really bad atm and has been for a while and I dont think i see anything changing. This is for champs like Poppy, Galio, and some others that arent doing as well as dps-style champs that are so survivable now with itemization, why even bother picking certain tanks unless they have strong burst or game changing utility. (even that isnt enough sometimes)

I feel like everything around me needs to slooooow down a bit. As cool as new Urgot is, I'm DREADING him being released. Hes so broken atm on pbe its disgusting. As a toplaner, thats scary af. I am sticking around to see the Eve rework cause I'm very interested on it. Also hoping you take a break from all this new content and fix some old champs like full Fiddlestick VGU and some medium sized rework changes to both Aurelion Sol and Skarner. There is so much to overhaul atm and theres waaay too much new stuff to process and digest rn.

C'mon Riot, just slow your roll a bit.

This thread wasnt made to really complain about any ONE thing specifically, just my current thoughts about the game as I try to drag my self to it just to "keep in touch". I don't know if anyone else knows what I mean, but I only play a couple games every few days to stay up-to-date.

I like more updates. it gives a chance for the meta to actually shift around which is something it's been needing to do for a while.

They've purposely been trying to speed up the game because they think those 'pro' games last too long. Years ago they uped minion value by about 5 gold, didn't seem like much until you realize lane bullies tend to have the easiest time farming. Along with the permanent dragon buffs preventing even matches. Buffing damage items while nerfing defensive ones preventing turtling from being remotely effective, to the point it's often better just to stack damage and try killing your opponent before they kill you.
