Returning player...terrible experience

TrustInTheLord·Nov 10, 2017·4 votes·614 views

I played this game since Beta...and i like the new Masteries+Runes combined..but the game in general feels very..pathetic ? I go mid as a Galio ( which for some reason everyone says he is op, i find him rather weak. U dont even have a 1v1 ult to have an advantage at 6 ) vs a Riven. She kills me once and its game over from then. Literally. She comes back with that lethality dagger thing, and its gg. I cant even stay in lane. What the heck is this ? Everyone getting 1 kill then snowballing out of control. There is just no skill left in the game, u get 1 lucky kill and you are god like if you play one of these broken champs. Riven is op since she was released, here i am after 3 years of no play and she still is the most op crap on lane. Terrible.

3 years before , (season 4) there were different masteries from season 7 (before the pre-season) and now runes/masteries changed again.... so pretty much much you lost 2 different systems xD

Sounds about right. I've been playing sense just after league came out of beta (well i say that, but i stopped playing a few months back), but here's the problem for returning players like yourself.

If there was ever something that made you quit league, either from champion design or a general game design change. Then I can assure you that it hasn't gotten fixed, because riot has almost never undone champion changes and has been moving the same design direction for the past 5 years without reversing.

If you came back hoping to play something like league 2013, then you're going to be disappointed, because league is further along the same path that led to you quitting .

I don't understand why players think a game will stay exactly the same for 10 years. Things change it happens on all games and series.

I beg to differ your skill arguement, yes there is luck involved but unless you're sitting at the top of the ladder kinda hard for me to take you seriously about "game takes no skill" esp after crying about a champ that is strong and your see as weak because of your lack of skill.

I'm sure I'll get some flame but if it's so bad you can leave, not going back to beta anytime soon mr nostalgic gamer

Im not nostalgic lol...at all. Beta was terrible. And no, Galio cannot be considered strong. You literally get outraded by anyone. Just got rektd by an Urgot who had lag. He literally stayed near me, no movement, and used that stupiud machine gun spell. No skill involved, no aim, nada, 1 button and you die. How in the hell is this considered skill ? I grind the fricking blue essence now to get a champ, i get one, and he is useless. Nice.Ult is almost unusable in solo queue. No one thinks about actually engaging and lettimg me ult. No one. And it cannot be about skill since i play many skill games, try Battlerite and see what skill means, not this garbage where people press 1 button and you die. I am very accustomed to skill based games. This is not one of em. If your enemy gets 1 kill from pure luck, like creeps throwing little balls at you that follow you and they last hit you and he gets the kill, pure impossible to win the lane after. There is no such thing in any other moba. In Dota2 you can be 3 kills behind and eventually turn the game. Here you get 1 kill and you are god in lane. Unstoppable.

I read this but my reply was kinda immature sry bout that was grumpy this morning. I played Dota2 professionally for a year or so, as much as I loved the game I like league a lot more. How ever you are correct on that note. Less snowbally unless ur playing in like 2-3k MMR was kinda one sided. Macro game is similar if you break it down to fundamentals just like league. The game has changed a lot.

I personally find the league ladder harder than dota2 and I played at the top of dota ladder for a while, however Ive never been top 200 on league. From my perspective this game is more challenging or maybe I'm washed up cuz I'm older now idk. I lived my esports dream alrdy I'm never going pro on league XD too junk
