This season feels so exhausting and boring to play in

Damage is too high, and the only way to climb is to play a hyper carry, preferably an early-game one. The moment you want to play something for fun such as Lulu, Ivern or Anivia, you're usually placing the game in the hands of your teammates, praying that they follow up on your CC.

Hardstuck silvers like me were able to climb not because we're actually good, but because we get to play champs that 100-0 the enemy laner and have a million dashes. Yes, I'm admitting that I don't actually belong in my current elo. My mechanics and macros are awful, but I got here by being a meta slave. It's just really tiring. I want to feel like I still can control games when I play less damage oriented champions. Playing the same three champions against the same champion pool of 10 ish champions (Zed, Yasuo, Fizz, Ahri, Pyke, Lux, Renekton) is the least eventful thing ever.

Season 8 was the same, and nothing has changed, as predicted. Same people, same outcomes. Keep going dowhill! :D

Im in an odd state, i play to win every game. But idgaf about the outcome. Win or lose i can usually tell by minute 2 and i try to rally my team. But too many times its GG at champselect

Too many dashes. Too much burst. Ruining the game.

If you need any proof the game has been broken for a long time... There never should be an early game hyper carry.

Top riven gets 7 kills at 14 minutes and runs away with the game Enemy Janna is an autofill and feeds my bot lane, letting my adc run away with the game Jungle + mid duo just camp midlane all game and Akali runs away with the game I get an autofill jungle graves who gets routed by enemy Karthus who has 3x his CS at 20 minutes and runs away with the game My top laner is smurfing on Renekton and single handily carries the game

The list goes on and on. I can't even remember the last time I actually won or lost a game that was "close" or at least felt close. I don't even feel like I'm learning anything anymore in the wins or loses, it just feels like a slot machine. Winning doesn't even feel good anymore.

That happens when literally every game is stomp or be stomped by 10 minutes.

You can only really play control based champions with comms or a full team, and maybe in higher elo, from what I've gathered. Assassins are just insane these days and playing a control character delays your power spikes to teamfights and unfortunately the game may be over before that time has come.

the only way to climb (in low elo) is to play a hyper carry

This was different exactly when?

the season is grueling because players refuse to orient around the new jungle and TK was a thing for a bit so everyone had to see him and he sucked the energy out the room.

I'm having more fun than ever. But I mostly play normals with friends.

Easily the worst meta of all time. Riot is too busy focusing on telling a narrative in pro play than they are fixing the game for the players they will soon lose.

S8 was the same just a few more Bugs except Morde.

i mean what am i playing for ? to have fun . how can i have fun? there is no way in this game. Afks Trolls Inters and Champdesigns frustrating as hell.

Watching to akali ....Watching to Irelia ... Watching to Khazix...Watching to Mordekaiser...Watching to Pyke .... Watching to Yuumi....etcetcetc

And i´m actually started playing ranked again. Thought after my experience in League with over 10000 Games i have a way higher chance getting out of Silverhell. But wait : I´m still fucking main support.

So whats going on ? afk adcs , run it down midlaners and then u have to carry as soraka support a 1v9 Game. Nice one

for every game i´m getting LP i´m losing one anyway in case of afks trolls or whatever. i mean i had a fcking 20.2 Mordekaiser last game ......... my jgler ganked mid lvl 2 and lvl 2 morde killed my zed and jarv xd how can this kind of gameplay be in the same Elo ..... frustrating to play support in this ...... hope riot give me some chance to climb out ......i have a fcking 53% winrate in high dia but losing so silvers cuz i´m main sup xd gege

Sadly the truth.

I stopped complaining about a year ago, because no one listened and nothing changed.

yeah i demoted to g1 for playing support a couple games in a row and when i played ahri (100 to 0 and a million dashes) I got back to plat 4 super quickly lol.. it feels quite horrible being a meta slave and i don't know why I even suck it up at this point?

Grumpig8/13/2019, 6:48:03 PM1 votes

i got to plat with my perm duo playing zac/tf and stricly carrying through macro. so you don't need to play hyper carries. macro will always win more games than micro

It’s my first season playing league so I can’t really speak for any seasons before, but I don’t really feel that the game is fast paced and early game oriented. Everything seems to move at an even pace imo

Velkoz SUPPORT only from S4 to G4. You don't need to be a meta slave if you know everything about your main champion. Sure he has some amazing early game pressure and his mana costs are high, but if you can find a way to make your favorite champion work, it will be your rock to get where you need to go.
