"How can we improve? Give us feedback!"
I've mentioned this multiple times when I give survey feedback, but I doubt my one survey has any weight. I'll just post it here since people can agree or disagree:
Basically League of Legends has become a dreadful and stressful game. As a player, if you aren't yet to the point of feeling this way, you haven't been playing long enough -- but it'll happen down the road. Although League of Legends has multiple game modes, it really only has one concept/goal: to kill other players in PvP. This particular concept -- although fun -- is a gimmick that quickly turns stressful because League of Legends is NOTHING BUT PvP. There is no other goal to the game. There is no downtime from PvP while playing League of Legends. There is no alternative mode outside of PvP -- Doom Bots isn't even available as a side mode outside of Halloween.
I've personally been waiting for Riot to release another game. Unfortunately all they've come up with is a board game called "Mechs vs Minions". In other words, Riot has no current plans to develop another online game. And League of Legends is still being developed as a linear and repetitive PvP focused arena-moba.
Although I'm sure this has been mentioned by others countless times... -> Riot promotes e-sports and ranked gameplay <-
Why? Because it is the average gamer's FANTASY to make a living off of being good at video games. But is this fantasy realistic? Not at all. However, all this promotion, promises of riches and fame, e-poosy, etc, will mitigate the stress and anxiety of players who strive to achieve this goal. This particular unrealistic mindset will keep the masses returning to League because it adds motivation to play. But again, does this make League of Legends good? In my opinion, no, but it does mask the game's flaws by feeding on the greed and hopes of the gamer
League of Legends really needs a non-competitive reason to play the game. It needs something outside of PvP. It needs something that allows the player to legitimately "League and Chill". Consider the following, veteran players, but when was the last time you were able to play League of Legends for hours and didn't get REALLY PISSED OFF at least once...twice...or even the entire time you played? For me, it's truly a rarity to not get mad while playing League of Legends anymore. I don't play often because it's such a stressful wreck.
Summary of my post: League of Legends needs content outside of killing other players and trying to ruin their day. If we can actually play League without intent to harm others, it would steer the game into a better direction.
