I understand that league is a massive game and im glad riot has found success as a business, but as league has continued to grow and prosper im beginning to like the game less and less. The game is developing away from a "game" for fun, and toward a competition only setting were if you do not try your hardest (even in a normal match) you will be destroyed and reported by your team. Im not the greatest player and in fact im barely able to hit gold most seasons and that's why i loved being able to have fun in normal matches trying out funny builds and laughing it up. But nowadays its much harder to get the feeling of "fun" while playing league, now its all about how sweaty you have to be in order to win. It makes me quite sad, i miss the days of AP Alistar mid and a dfg running mid to top to bot and ganking, forget farming it was fun to just wq someone and actually do dmg, now its just trolling to do anything fun or of meta dn you can get banned if you do not play well. I Miss old league, fun to play league, troll comps with my friends on Saturday night league. I just hope that this will be read by someone who actually cares about the fanbase of league of legends, not someone who's paid to read it. I just want to vent, i log in now every day but i have no desire to play, i sit and the home screen for hours waiting for my friends to log in because i cannot find it in myself to queue up alone anymore, the game is dying in the eyes of those looking for a good time, but its growing for those who need to scratch that competitive itch, I hope in the future riot will start patching the game for solo que instead of LCS. And Ps. just fix top lane, its been the most f'd up lane for the better part of 3 years.

Whats your opinions?

This game blows right now. You could suck bad and get carried by your bot lane. You could pick any of the numerous cheesy broken champs out there and climb. This season just promotes easy game play for the sake of an even playing field. I feel like skill level got tossed out the window.

Play Fortnite. There's so many other games out there that are better. League is a sinking ship.

Play Blind, ARAM, Twisted Treeline. Heck, even Normal Draft isn't that competitive, compared to Ranked. If you just want to chill and enjoy a fun game, there are still plenty of ways to do that.

Yeah, even in normal games it's literally "play the meta or you'll lose vs a team of full meta tryhards".

Just...play normals. People sigh when they see teemo sup in normals, but its...normal, there.

I sigh inside every time my friends want me to come and play normals, especially with mixed expectations. But you want funzy games, go play normals, you want to tryhard, go play ranked. Trust me, in s2-3 the meta fanaticism was exactly the same, and the rage was stronger (ah, pre tribunal days...i do miss the tribunal stuff a bit though).
