I'm Bored Of League Of Legends
Playing league of legends is really boring right now. Right now riot has the game set up where you pretty much know who is going to win the game by 10 minutes, and because of that all the games feel one of two ways, I will shit stomp the enemy team (not that fun) or the enemy team will shit stomp me (even less fun). Baron buff is too strong, dynamic queue makes me feel like the ranked system isn't worth playing, death timers are still too long, and champion balance is horrendous.
I am diamond 5 and have been playing since mid season 3 and I have only enjoyed two metas of this game. The rest of season 3 and cinderhulk's dominance. Season 3 was the assassin meta. Baron buff didn't mean you lose your towers, dragon was always worth getting, and if you got fed you could carry the game based on your skill, and if someone on the enemy team was fed they were still KILLABLE. Season 3 was the most balanced meta by far. Almost every ADC was viable, Most of the junglers were viable, Top lane felt pretty vast until worlds after the trinity force change (top laners actually took something that wasn't teleport!!!!!!!), I honestly only remember thresh annie and zyra as supports, and mid lane had the fizz-ahri-zed triumvirate. Mages were still viable even thought fizz ahri and zed were dominating. I fucking loved Gragas mid. He was my favorite thing to be in the game by far. It's a shame that he's gone.
Season 4 was such a bad experience for me. Literally only because of the Lee Sin-Elise-Evelynn triumvirate.
Season 5 was shit except for the small gap that was cinderhulk. Early season 5 was J4 VS Vi and whichever team picked sivir. Then cinderhulk came around. Literally any tank you could jungle with became viable/strong. Cinderhulk right now is just a shit stain compared to the original one. Literally every stat on cinderhulk has been toned down. It costs more, It does less damage, it has less base health and even has a shittier health scaling. The ban list didn't even take up the whole ban list. All you had to do was ban Gragas and Sejuani and then you had the freedom to ban whatever champions you wanted to.
I have 6412 hours on this game and this game isn't appealing anymore. Riot clearly doesn't listen to its players based on how they are handling the dynamic queue situation. Wow your players want solo queue? Its already implemented into the game but you don't have the nerve to turn it back on even though THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY YOUR GAME WANT YOU TO TURN IT ON you decide you want to fix something that wasn't fucking broken. Champion balance is bad as well. It fucking stings seeing Fizz and Ekko get nerfed because they are being played as top lane tanks. Teleport has been a necessity for top lane for years. It defines the game right now. Want to know why an entire strategy called split pushing no longer exists? Because of teleport. Tryndamere will probably never see the light of day in the LCS until something happens to teleport. Honestly I would rather teleport not exist or only able to be used defensivly (aka teleporting to only your own towers/minions/wards behind your towers). 20 minute one sided stomp fests aren't fun, i'm so glad overwatch came out recently.
