Is it just me, or has the game become RAPIDLY more unbearable than it already was

I've had like, 80 games in the past couple months, right, and in the couple months i'll use as sample size, i've encountered about 78 games that were blatantly toxic. I carried a few, but i keep being dragged down. I make it to the agony hellscape that NEEDS to be looked more into, i.e. gatekeeper divisions (Bronze 1, Silver 1, etc) and just

vapid bullshittery for game after gaME After GAME!

the last 20 games i've just rapidly demoted from like s1 71lp to s2 35 lp and i havent just turned my brain off, something fucky is happening

I look at the games, and SHOCKER SHOCKER! Its game after game of trolls. Every game is already cancerous enough due to the rampant toxicity, i dont need to be losing my lane every once in a while only to see that my 1/5 score is better than LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE IN THE GAME, and that i possess the only kill of my team to the enemy's 60.

Matchmaking? HAH! Whats that?! Cause according to ritoto gams, games shouldnt be ENJOYABLE or FAIR

They should be a fucking national embarassment! Obviously. I mean, america's already got someone ruining it rapidly from the top of the ladder, might as well just mirror that as a company.

Regulations? out the window. fuck those. why have power budgets when you can have O N E M I C R O S E C O N D K I L L S


Balanced matches with people of equal skill? Well i'd LIKE to say that i've had.... one... two.. of those? I dont THINK i have, but i HOPE i have.

To summarize this point, let me quote George Carlin in saying that "You know how much of a moron the average person is? Now realize that HALF of people are even bigger idiots than that!"

Truly balanced matches aren't going to happen. Its human nature. People are just stupid, some are smart, and there's nothing wrong with any of that, because thats just people as a whole. But please, stop throwing me THIRTY UNWINNABLE GAMES IN A ROW.

I'm not in promos, so throwing me a 'REALLY HARD CHALLENGE' to 'prove my worth' is, pardon my language, a quite fucking retarded idea.

i'm just trying to hit gold here as is everyone else, but it doesn't feel like you're giving me as much of a chance to win as the enemy team. And this isn't the kind of "Well you're the only constant in your games, so the loss streaks have to be your fault"

Ahaha. If only. If ONLY i could say 'Yeah, i suck donkey ass right now, but i can improve myself and then i can FINALLY GET THE RANK I WANT! :D" I want to improve, and i am trying

But then you see games with:

-1/6/0 akali who refuses to buy items "until our graves stops feeding" (yet she has the same score minus the graves' like 7 assists), manages to boost that kda to 2/6/2 by the end but still no items.

-An entire team who has like 25 deaths, and i have 80% Kill Participation as a hard camped 2/6/2 kayle. Also, the jungle whom claimed that he was, and acted more like, a first timer is a jungle main with about 300 games played... big oof.

-A 3/20 botlane duo and 2-7 toxic ahri, whom fed my opponant (a Rengar) and a Varus to the point of absurdity

-Another feeding botlane, 3/18 at least this time but as CAIT MORG. How do you mess that up..?

-1/12 ashe that ulted maybe twice in a VERY winnable game. please man just just press R its not that hard

-a game where, as Vi, i was the only person with a positive KDA, easily the best on the team and i was only 6/4.. let that sink in.

-and FINALLY, a game where my computer BSoD'd (i ended 1/10 so that game was quite easily my fault, i'll admit) but while i was afk and only 1/1/1 kda, my team somehow gave nidalee SEVEN kills in that time. She ended that game 20/7/9....

These are all available to be looked at on my op.gg I would provide screenies but 1: thats Name and Shame 2: no access to a paint software for the next couple days

TL;DR angry boi hates rito for awful matchmaking, awful players (personality-wise i mean), and awful balance

the game is going to hell RAPIDLY cant wait for season 9, aka "How much faster can we make people leave the game THIS season?" [zombie-brand-facepalm] [zombie-brand-clap]

i literally just posted something super similar to this about champion design making the game un fun. it almost feels intentional.

I think everybody at this point is permatilted because they're not happy with the state of the game, which of course just contributes to further toxicity and tilting. I have to try hard myself not to fall into this trap.

I don't play ranked anymore but I am noticing it in ARAM if that means anything.

My guess, normal players are quitting - and people who like to abuse crappy mechanics/comps are sticking around

The game is over once someone on either team corners their own team into a surrendering situation. The games not about objectives and kills anymore it's about who can make the other team self destruct first.

You can't say no to a surrender at 15 vote because you'll be playing a 4.5.v5 where a player is not AFK but is wanting to be swaddled and carried like the baby they are.

You're better off fulfilling the 15 min surrender vote (as much as I hate saying that) but I value my time and I would rather play a pleasant game with teammates who wanna win over having some man-child tell the rest of the team that the game has never been winnable for x minutes.

The defeatism attitude in this game is rising at an alarming rate and no matter how many new reworks Riot pushes out or how many game modes enter the RGM or how many new items are released, a player's attitude to quit will always spoil the game for everyone.

My latest game.

Me: Blitzcrank - 4/6/22 My AD Carry: Graves - 14/7/16

My Mid Laner: Yasuo - 27/9/8

My Top Laner: MonkeyKing - 4/18/12 My Jungler: Nidalee - 5/12/7

And people say it's mainly bot lane that ints.

Me and Graves pub stomped a KogMaw Lulu

I have played about 650 ranked games this season and of those games maybe 10 of them had some real toxicity in it. Personally I love this game but i feel there are so many people who just need to take a break from it maybe you are one of those people ?

knew the game was fucked after i realized they were enforcing an assassin meta about a year ago i think (prob a lil longer)

I disagree, I'm having more fun than I've had in the last three years in league.

Vicious948/11/2018, 7:44:11 AM1 votes

You realize league is actually not that hard right? if you learn a champ it's not that hard mechanically. They're in the process of a revolution there are thousands of changes to come. You're stuck in 2014 and they're in the year 2020

SugeMinPikk9/24/2018, 4:20:46 AM1 votes

Mostly because of Odyssey and the sudden lack of Nexus Blitz, yes.

Vicious948/11/2018, 7:46:39 AM1 votes

This game is filled with real people who are experiencing the same world that you are, think about that and why people might not be feeling that great.

Olga Rajecka8/11/2018, 1:09:17 PM1 votes

Just remember the following: If you lose the game, in 80% of the cases, it's your fault. If you are better than your rank, you will climb. If you're not then the loss is as much your fault than it is your teammates.

Verxint8/12/2018, 12:29:56 AM1 votes

What I want to know is how there can be so many people in the games I see feeding and just clearly playing awfully regardless of what rank I'm at or they're at or seemingly any MMR distinction. There just seems to be this collection of people who feed their ass off almost every game but somehow don't get below gold.

Make public smurfs a bannable offense.

TheUltimateSpear8/12/2018, 2:48:56 AM1 votes

More like the players are becoming more rapidly unbearable. The game isn't in it's best state now but it's had other points just as bad. The big problem is that everyone is a ginormous asshole now.

Frontline Fury8/12/2018, 7:23:05 AM1 votes

After 8 years i finally quit. Im watching patch news but doubt i’ll come back until preseason, and even then just to test the new stuff.
