i mean who doesn't love going even in lane for 10 minutes steadly watching

AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAINAhri over and over and over and over. slowly realizing that theyre gonna come to your lane soon, and there's not a god damn thing you can do about it.

hide under tower? oh that spitball shooter? yeah a level 10 adc can tank 4 shots from towers. have fun getting dived by 2, one of which is fed.

like are people honestly happy with this season?

you all see it. every single game ONE or TWO(usually ONE) people feed, and the game is completely thrown on its head in the first 10 minutes.

EVERY single game i see one of my teammates going 0/3 in the first 5 minutes. without fucking fail.

its gotten to the point where i already know its going to happen every game, and i just wait to see when.

im sick and tired of tryharding in ranked, not feeding EARLY(Key word here. everyone feeds after one laner roams at 8 minutes with 4+ kills)

i see all these stupid dumb fucking mistakes the enemy team makes, and i can't capitalize because of how heavily fed they are.

fuck season 7. fuck riot's current direction for this game.

this game is COMPLETELY different than the game i spent 5 months game time on since s3.

good job riot, your stupid flashy play meta is now in full force, and it's made for an extremely boring stomp or be stomped game.

fucking incompetent retards who dont even play their own game.

The problem is people constantly bitched about games being too long when they were constantly 35-60 min games. I actually enjoyed that type of game, because you can learn more about the game what do in the game. Now the game is destroying newer players to want to actually play. You don't learn anything in the lvls 1-30 and you can not really test champions in AI since there are thousands of Bots running around in there. So they could only actually practice back then in normals. Even now Practice mode helps some of the mechanics like Riven wall jumping, last hitting or even just jungle clearing strategies. But fighting against another person in the stressful position of one mistake and I will die. You can't really learn that from those damn wooden posts that don't fight back.

I love the practice tool it helped me fully learn my Alistar combo, but it doesn't really help much outside of JG clears and items for the JG and maybe top lane CS. Every other lane always have someone else attacking you constantly and sometimes depending on the top lane they have that too. It's not hard to learn to CS when you are by yourself, but it becomes harder when you have a mid laner/ADC/Support constantly attacking you.

Feeding is not even the core problem...

Ignore my teammates.

I was losing lane, lost an early trade and had to back against Renekton. Come back to lane, play really passive cause I'm down a level and begin giving up a ton of farm as a result. I end up dying to a gank near my tower. "Alright no big problem I just gotta play a safer and try to come back later."

Another bad trade under my tower forces me to back but I DON'T die, I try really hard to make the best out of my situation and I don't feed. Farming with my Q and only being in range for experience if this Renekton backs off enough.

However by this 3rd time my tower ends up gone because of the first back, the second back due to Rek'Sai and this last back. And all by SEVEN MINUTES. It's IMPOSSIBLE for me to comeback now and my second death is from a tower dive at tier 2 turrets at 11 minutes. I lose that tower at the same time.

Honestly you can't blame teammates for feeding all the time. It's feed but keep up in farm/gold and hopefully have enough stats to fight later. Or play extremely passive and still get FKT over because towers are weak AF.

Like I legit had 0 options. This meta really sucks ass 7 times out of 10.

I almost bought it. I almost fucking bought it and expected a discussion about how the fast-paced games encourage aggressive, reward-focused plays and foster the kind of champion direction that feels more fun and forward to play (everyone's pushing the fight).

Anyway, who do you think the Victorious skin is gonna be this year? Caitlyn? Victorious Caitlyn.

Or, wait, no, Victorious Sejuani?

Riot seems to be ignoring it too both in threads and when they have gameplay update videos. Yet i see players bring it up very often. Seems strange to me. That dank lcs milk must be too juicy. They could honestly forget about the 1000 champion reworks and balances and quickly revert the game to how it used to be played but its not the overlying problem for them. Apparently yasuo is. GG

once people stop playing because the game is a lifeless shell people will stop watching lcs too. and they will notice they shit on the game when its too late. but they might not care by then. It has been out for 8 years. I just wish i got into playing it earlier. Not wasting my time for a year and a half to see it turn into this..

The game's been snowbally since Season 1. You get kills, you get gold and then you get items. More items > less items

Yeah I came back after a small break and found out most of my games are usually decided by 1 guy on either team snowballing super hard.

The terrible matchmaking in normals doesn't really help.

"BUT BUT OP YOU WENT 4 AND 5 IN A GAME, THAT'S NEGATIVE AND FEEDING!"

the white knights who only ARAM and watch streamers say, unaware of the real issues in ranked. Their reddit comments getting upvoted and their Mountain Dew freshly opened, a feeling of joy overcoming them as they all downvote anyone complaining about something other than Yasuo Zed Riven or Fizz. They have claimed victory today over the plebs who dare play anything over than FOTM champs.

Its been like this since preseason 6 when they changed death timers.

You want riot to have it so if you do amazing in lane, you cant snowball? That would be terrible, if you go 3/0 before 5 minutes, you deserve to win

I've read through all of this and at first I wasn't sure whether this deserved a lock because of the jerk comments towards Riot. Now, I'm thinking this should be moved to Misc, because there was discussion about the topic and serious points brought up. This isn't gameplay related but I like seeing constructive criticism and discussion take place. With that said, feel free to move the thread over and continue.

If you have an issue with my lock, please visit Boards Moderation and ask for me.

Thanks,

Galacius

This is going to always be an issue. Game flow is impossible to really balance between being enjoyable to play and enjoyable to watch. Don't forget some design decisions they make are based around having streams and professional games being enjoyable to watch even by those who do not play League.

korg0236/20/2017, 2:17:17 PM1 votes

That is what balancing around competitive and LCs gives you :) Riot logic- people love flashy plays,constant action and tower dives so lets make game snowbally as hell,nerf the towers so they are no longer relevant after 10 min...

korg0236/20/2017, 2:29:51 PM1 votes

Why not just remove items and merge them with masteries/runes in next season and while we are at it we can also remove towers and rename this game to Battlerite ??

Warning Shot6/20/2017, 2:33:32 PM1 votes

it's much better than getting level 2 dove under tower by every jungler in the game last season.

Now try making an actual constructive thread instead of cussing every line and calling Riot's employees retards.

No need to act like a child to get your point across.

Honestly we just gotta hope they fix this shitty early game meta when they introduce the next big patch...

Snowball is perfectly ok except for turrets everything else is you should improve end of story, peace out.
