League of Legends Is Getting Unsatisfying For Me to Play
As someone who plays a ton of
and
(at least right now), I have just not felt very satisfied playing the game right now. I don't feel like the characters I love and enjoy playing are ever going to get highlighted or ever going to secure a place in the Competitive scene. There are some games where I feel I have no reason playing my mains over someone like Ekko, Fizz, Gangplank, Yasuo, or even Vayne because I never feel like my characters are going to have a skill ceiling that allows them to compete at such an extraordinary level. I love Teemo's mushroom mind game and his more tactical decision making during a match rather than just getting into a fight and playing it out play by play. I love Veigar's personality and ridiculous kit that allows him to get such high amounts of burst damage. I ADORE Kled's personality and find his kit extremely fun to play. Bard's lore is incredible and his kit is incredibly relaxing and fun to play.
Sadly, out of all my mains, I feel like I can only succeed at a higher level of play with Bard and that just depresses me you know? I don't feel like Teemo will ever be able to make an impact on a game the same way a Yasuo or Ekko who hit a 5-man ultimate what. I don't feel like Veigar will ever have the ability to be played consistently without getting countered by high mobility champions. Finally, I don't feel like Kled will ever be useful over another champion other than his movement speed boost during his ultimate. They all just don't offer something that another champion who has SO much in their kit would offer. All of their play styles are incredibly easy to counter after a couple of experiences playing against them and they all just get shut down by their "just not high enough" skill ceiling and reward for playing them to their best. Now, do I have fun playing as Teemo, Veigar, and Kled? Hell yes. They are my mains and I love playing them an absolute crap ton! However, I can only suffer so many one-sided games before I just feel like no matter how much I try with these champions, I will just never amount up to someone who has mastered someone with a kit loaded with outputs.
To shorten it, I just don't feel like I'm rewarded enough for mastering some champions in the game and it's just incredibly depressing that, due to how slow reworks are and the fact there are so many other champions in the game who's kits are in much more need of help, I just don't think the champions mentioned will be getting changes anytime soon. Unless Preseason 7 really changes the game for the better, I just feel like other MOBAs are just a ton more fun for me. I always feel like I'm making an impact by playing my best with characters in games like Dota 2, Smite, and even Heroes of the Storm. So, unless LoL changes soon, I just don't think I will enjoy my time playing the game anymore.
