I kind of feel that fun in League isn't very...Fun anymore

Either the games gone stale for me or its actually slowly legit going downhill

Im a casual gamer,I don't play ranked much and honestly if i did it'd only be for the skin,so this isn't a DQ hate post

I don't know,a few days ago i had a game where both teams were having shits and giggles in Nexus siege,we joked in chat and had an absolutely hilarious time playing.What i don't get is,the game felt fun but not really...It just feels like the demonstrably frustrating champions somehow single handedly made the game really unfun,they had a ryze,and honestly if it weren't for the fact that i was a half decent Leblanc I probably would've rage quitted,being one shot with 2 skills with 1 being a point and click,whilst also being rooted it just got really repetitive dying over and over and over for that single reason and it got mad levels of frustrating till i bought item 3001 so i wouldn't die in a single combo

The worse part is,Ryze can barely be counted for as one of the most frustrating champions in the game and the fact is all nerfs towards frustration have basically stopped

How yasuo in the right hands literally makes the laning phase for almost any champion that has 1 really important skill shot to land hell and honestly is he balanced?yes Yasuo is pretty balanaced,but I think some of us can agree he is pretty frustrating and even an early shield nerf of 5 on his passive,but make it ramp up near the end so it ends up the same late game would just tone down how hard he is to deal with early on by a fair margin

Caitlyn,oh boy i love the sheriff but you have to admit in recent times lets just say her early game isn't the most fun to play against,and you know what?things as minor as a 5 mana increase on her W or a a slightly increased cast time on her W(which goes down with rank since people are maxing it) would just honestly help tons in making play against her a ton less frustrating

I can't count Fizz as an offender anymore because the 1.1 second cd increase was enough to make him bearable imo

Rengar and Leblanc fun fact,dying in less then 0.4 seconds is not a fun experience,god no just no...atleast these 2 champions might be addressed in the coming assassin class update

Quinn,if your playing a melee,i just hope your ready to see how frustrating this is going to be(except you won't see because nearsight),this partly has to do with her success-fail rework,success because it fixed so many problems with her,fail because it introduced bigger frustrating issues(as if playing melee against her wasn't hell enough),Nearsight is the biggest offender,not only is nearsight the definition of an unhealthy mechanic,it just stops anybody that isn't already in your face from doing anything,your melee?oh ill just juke to the side while i watch you run like a mad dog,Your ranged?hold it right there sir you aren't aloud to accurately aim your spells or auto attack,mind you it lasts a whopping 1.5 seconds,and in a game like League thats 1.5 seconds of almost no information of your surroundings and 1.5 seconds of being unable to cast accurately or auto attack effectively(I've had issues to go as far as messing up pathing because i targeted someone right before nearsight),it also goes down to a 5.4 second cooldown at max rank with 40% CDR

In the end can i survive with all this?Yes Do some of these things need to be addressed?possibly Am i going to be down voted to hell?100% I'm sure of it Just felt like sharing my thoughts on frustration of some champions

But killing people in 0.4 secs is a fun experience. You should try it sometime.

I think damage creep has just finally taken its toll. You either 1-shot them first with an OP champ or they 1-shot you first with an OP champ, no real ebb-and-flow or strategy. It's also ridiculously easy to secure a game after just 3 kills because of the snowballing.

I still have fun with League, but I've had to switch mindsets entirely anymore, from "I wanna get good because I'm having fun with this game" to "I should just stop caring and play the game. Don't QQ or try to get better, just play cause you've run out of options," which sucks.

rito suck at reworking champions, also they think if a champion has high skill cap their opponent deserve to get fucked.

I will not be downvoting you, even though I disagree with your viewpoint. You have every right to feel burnt out of a game, I have had periods of time where I only played League minimally, before returning at some point. Assassins are really annoying sometimes, only once they are ahead though. You can still outplay them, and Zhonyas helps with several of the worst offenders(Zed, Talon, Fizz, LB, Rengar, ect). Luckily, they are getting reworked in the not-too-distant future(preseason). One thing that also helps is finding that one champ that really fits you. Once Azir came out and I started playing him I started having a lot more fun. Either way if you tired and dont feel like playing, then dont, just do wahtever is fun for you.

league is fun?

You can't have 'fun' without costing it someone else's. It's not going to be fun if you play anywhere near serious. Stay off the rift, stay at the abyss. Or custom games.

protip: if you don't want to get one shot by leblanc, buy a item 3155

dunno why a similar item doesn't exist for defense against AD burst though

It does. Steraks gage.

Sterak's doesn't give armor and is weak on marksmen. Unlike hexdrinker, which is very efficient and has stats worthy of the price before even counting the shield, sterak's is extremely inefficient unless the shield is up, and on top of that, the base damage boost is awful for champs with low base damage, like marksmen.

Are you kidding me m8. Compare Stats between Steraks and Hexdrinker, it works on AP and AD and is up 30 seconds earlier and gives +50% base AD. ARE YOU KIDDING ME M8. Most champs have 90 base attack damage. That's +40AD just for being focused every minute. and +40 AD is still more than Hexdrinker upgraded gives in damage if you don't count the APen

I've had plenty of non snowball games. Fuck most of my games are non-snowball.

Playing this game is more of a "task" than an actual game IMO.

You obviously have never gone full attack speed Bard. It's the funniest thing.

I'm convinced the current people in charge have completely lost touch with what made league good to begin with. They are becoming a behemoth buckling under their own weight. Teams don't know what other teams are doing, the game is so intensely punishing and snowbally. Damage is out of control, Ranked is completely screwed. Riot has made questionable choices in the past but the damage/defense hybrid items they put in the game to try and make Garen relevant warped the game and Garen still isn't relevant because he's a simple binary champion.

"Stat Binding" and "Subclasses". Both of these are total crap. Instead of lumping all these champions together and trying to bend their kits into what they are supposed to be, why not just look at them individually and stop trying to mass balance a subset of characters, leaving crazy outliers that just get abused?

Edit: I love this game, I'm passionate about it, but lord almighty. Season 6 is enough to make any passionate fan not want to play anymore. The fun is being sucked out of the game.

Just take a break for a month or 6 check updates and decide if you want to come back that's how you play league.

Have fun for some time take a break and come back, been playing for 7 years now taken breaks several times but it's still one of the best replayable games out there.

Everyone's just high on emotions for no reason most of the recent changes aside from a few hiccups are being fixed and IMPROVED it's just that since you've experienced some really poor changes in the past few months you've lost your glimmer of hope (Basically you were traumatized and scarred by the bad changes).
