I have never believed people in the boards when they said stuff like "League is not fun anymore"

But for the first time ever I can say that I share this thought. For the first time ever I had to stop playing the game this season because I just couldn't stand how unbalanced things were and the fact that this has never happened to me in my whole League Of Legends experience tells me something. I hated lethality meta with a passion to the point where I just couldn't enjoy the game anymore. This happened again with Ardent Censer meta. I still hate Twitch avoiding nerfs for more than a whole year, I still hate how weak turrets are and I hate the game even more when I think about rift herald and demolish and EVEN MORE when I think about that garbage """"buff""" towers got. I hate how blatantly one sided the games have become (and how predictable they are) and I hate Riot for being silent about it. I feel like the balance team is doing nothing expect filling patch notes with words in order to make it look like they are actually improving the game but really, they're just doing NOTHING. That Ornn buff on his E proved me once and for all that. I'm at that point were I log in and then think "do I seriously want to play League of Legends tho? Why did I even open the client?" and then log out. I can't even find the energy to play a co-op vs AI game for the first win of the day because I hate the new BE system too. I'm not going too deep into this, I don't even know why I'm bothering giving you feedback when all you do with these kind of threads is ignore.

I always get downvoted whenever I make those kind of threads, but I really hope that both Riot and the players who can't have a critical opinion on the present game state will see all those posts, yours included, and open their eyes for once on how the vast majority of the community don't enjoy the game like they did before

i feel the same. im tired of premades, im tired of kog twitch lulu janna, im tired of feeling forced to play toplane cause thats the best role for a soloQ player and if i choose botlane i just make it so my team doesnt have a duoQ bot but instead we have a soloQ adc+autofilled support vs a duoQ bot. im more interested in just posting on the forums complaining about how frustrating/stale league is now.

league in now a game where if u dont go duoQ and pick certain stuff you will most likely lose, duoQ and 1 item powerspike hypercarries ruined league for me.

Dramatic much? I'm so glad league is going the route they are gameplay wise because it seems to be discouraging whiners like you from playing. I don't think anyone honestly wants someone so downtrodden as you as a teammate.

I agree with you on this one. I was almost about to write a post myself but it seems like the whole boards is already filled with this kind of stuff. Literally the only reason i want to play this game is cause i know it 'can' be fun (it used to be fun) and because i really want to climb in solo queue. But when you really think of it, even if i get where i want to get, it feels like all that says is that i was lucky enough to be on the right team more often than not.

I feel helpless when i lose, cause I feel like we had no chance to come back at all. When I win, I don't feel a thing cause it was most likely a stomp too. And I'm talking about 90% of my games here. And don't get me started on the meta. I can't even play my favourite champs because they happen to be on the weaker side of things and they stand no chance againts their broken/busted counterparts. Also, I main adc, and i really, really hate this new poke meta, but tbh it's the only thing you can really play besides tristana and ezreal. All the others ones just get wrecked in teamfights since basically everychamp can kill you.

So basically, what i'm saying is that I'm tired of having to pick the same 3 champs over and over just to have some chance at winning and still I have to hope that my team does not lose lane either cause else I'm fucked anyway.

And indeed the balance team should step it up. Do they even play this game themselves, or are they all Diamond+ players. Because really you can say all you want that a champ is counterable but in my elo you can not expect that everyone picks/plays for the teamcarries. Most games dont even have a tank. I really dont understand how some champs dont get nerfed harder like Zoe (land E is free kill, broken dmg even with no ap, alse free summs) or Ornn (litteraly wins every matchup. Best engage of the game. And so much dmg AND cc) for an example. Leona too (towerdives at lvl 3 when u're supp is gone for 30 secs).

Anyway some people are gonna complain about my elo, yeah bla bla. But that's not the point here. Riot got to realise that 90% of the players are gold and lower and for THEM the game is not fun anymore. But no they keep doing stuff only for challenger and LCS balance. How does that even make sense.

Long story short, I really can't stop playing this game cause i want to climb so bad, but Riot needs to realise that the game is not fun anymore for a large portion of their players. It's also not healthy for the game cause toxicity and ragequitters in-game are really more frequent now too. Climbing is basically RNG at this point. First player to make a mistake loses the game.

P.S. this is basically just a bunch of my thoughts scrambeled together, I hope it makes sense. I'm also open for discussion an/or tips on how to deal with the current state of the game

Riot isn't going to listen to us, they never do.

I haven't played since the 18th, I just lost interest entirely. I'm currently having a blast playing Battlefield 1

This is me today. I went to go make a post about the issues with essence they still haven't solved, how matchmaking hasn't been solved; and then I realized why I'm disliking jungle so much lately. All strategies in jungle except gank as much as possible have become unviable. Then it hit me how much damage creep had to happen for that to come about and how much weaker and less safe towers had to become for that trend to sustain itself. And it's just like, wow, I hated Rakan for not dealing damage when he came out, but that's what the support role was supposed to do, what happened. What happened to tanks that I can play almost any tank and routinely do most damage on team. No wonder ADC is so feast or famine and games are decided bot lane, with this much damage creep they have to have perfect positioning.

League's "downfall" finally gave me the opportunity to start killing my 285 games steam library, so yeah thnx riot

Yup. I used to get REALLY frustrated for getting permabanned, and disappointed that I'd lost my first ever League account and stuff, but now... I barely care.

This account is perma-banned, but I don't even play anymore. I think one of my smurfs got its perma lifted even, and if it happened a year ago I'd be dancing around the room of excitement, but it was some months ago, and my only reaction was "Oh, nice, Riot can be cool sometimes I guess." And I played like 1 or 2 games on that account since then.

Can you believe it? I went from 7-10 games a DAY, to 2 - 3 games a MONTH. (Though my sister just started actually playing after years of hating it, don't ask me the logic in that)

All in all, even ban lifts can't motivate me to truly play anymore with that spark I used to have. The game simply changed too much, it's not the same game I played 3 years ago...

I wish one day Riot just announces "We apologize. Everything we did was a mistake. Drag is getting reverted, Herald is getting removed, Armor Penetration is coming back, First Blood tower is removed, etc."

But one can dream...

Poor game...

Nope, a lot of people support you in this. There's a good lot of posts like yours. I'm just kinda really sad about preseason when I see people post this stuff, and realizing, "well damn, Riot went the wrong way ig"

When you win your lane but you see the enemy adc get fed and no matter how much you try he will kill you and your whole team while your own adc hits for less damag than the rest of the team I also wonder if im having fun

Hong Kong Annie12/28/2017, 5:52:54 AM2 votes

yeah this game is just starting to feel like a chore to play. you think Riot would have realized after the failure of dominion that the game wasn't meant to be as fast paced as they are trying to make it.

I hoped to battlerite few weeks ago and really can't see a valid reason to return to league...shame
