Being Burnt out is Different...

GigglesO··3 votes·337 views

For everyone that wants to make an argument about vets being "burnt out". I have to give it to you, that is a load of shit.

Being Burnt out means that you just are tired of the game that you've been playing for ages and its time to move to a new game... Well this, this is something else.

This was up to the day runes changed an addiction. I'm talking 5-10 games a day. This was up until the runes changed a game that I thoroughly enjoyed. This was up until the runes changed something I did because I enjoyed it.

It was not something that happened over time as I slowly started to not want to queue up. This was an instant over night change that completely made me not want to play. Sure I still want to play, but I want to play the game I love, not some bastardization that leaves me feeling empty inside when I play a game and do well. The culprit of these changes? Damage. God I hate being blown up in .5 second. There is no outplay when you die so fast that human reaction time says you have .25 seconds to respond, not including the 50ms ping which reduces that time to .2 seconds. It isn't even fun blowing someone up that fast. There is no strategy in that.

Stop saying we are "burnt out" and just face it, not everyone wants this game to be CoD or Halo knockoff where its one shot kills. Some of us want a game more like AoE2 where you have to actually have a strategy to win.

If we go back to the slower draw out slug fest of tank meta, no one is allowed to complain this time then.

I actually loved the slower drawn out fights that took multiple rotations. There was no "I auto win this fight in 2 seconds or less because I have higher damage and mobility" It took actual coordination to either kite or peel/stick to a target. Assassins sure couldn't 100-0 anyone, but they were damn good at 80-0ing someone.

You did, people tend to have short memories and act like they didn’t whine about the tank meta of season 7. How boring games were to watch and play because of how drawn they were dragged out. How they dominated the meta so much that 2 if not 3 were used on team comps so if we go back to that, people aren’t allowed to complain this time.

That was a tank meta? That was a tanks deal a fuck tonne of damage meta. I saw garens building full lethality+damage and out doing damage champions. That was most definitely not a tank meta. We didn't have 30-60 second slug fights where someone walked away and just gave up because they didn't kill the enemy after that much time.

Some of you hate the way the game is going, some of us thoroughly enjoy it. You've got the right to not like where it's headed and that's completely okay! Personally, though, I haven't enjoyed the game nearly as much in my few years of playing as I have since runes reforged.

Rito doesn't care, their 'totally not toxic community' doesn't care.

The entire game is about streams and LCS now, nothing else.

Just leave the game and forum, the forum doesn't care either as you'll see soon enough.

I got a huge chunk of my enjoyment out of this game from theory crafting really interesting and unique builds. Like probably 80% of my enjoyment. I'm notorious among my friends for always trying new weird off meta builds and champions. And while I really enjoy a lot of what the new runes bring. The lack of real choice/customization just takes a huge chunk of enjoyment out of this game for me. I've been playing since season one and I have to say I don't enjoy this game anywhere near as much as I did before the rune changes.

That's probably my main gripe game-play wise in what has otherwise been a solid improvement over the past few years. And I understand I'm probably a minority because most people just copy paste whatever the pros picked anyway. But still disappointing.

People have been making board posts about how the game is shit or how it's no longer fun for them since the boards have existed...

You no longer enjoy the game it's not fun for you? Stop playing then... Why bother playing something that you don't enjoy??? Move on!

But no, you and everyone who makes and has made threads like this over the years never seem to realize that you keep repeating the same shit over and over and over again.

And yet here you are still playing. And then you act surprised when someone calls you out for it.

But no, you and everyone who makes and has made threads like this over the years never seem to realize that you keep repeating the same shit over and over and over again.

And I'm trying to explain that up until this season, the exact week that new runes dropped is when the "your just burnt out" shit began to start. It still isn't being burnt out, its an instantaneous change that was disliked. The point of this post was to try and separate out that it isn't "being burnt out".
