Winning doesnt even feel fun anymore

The game has gone so far into Power creep and High damage that Everyone should be labeled an assassin because just one miss step and you basically get blown up by any champ, and this constant fear of one miss play has become so stressful that even when Winning i don't feel rewarded or awesome i just feel relived i get to breath.

honestly i rather have the tank meta back at this point because everyone 2 shotting everyone isn't fun anymore I really hate URF as the standard game mode.

Just starting the client feels stressful, I always hesitate for atleast 10 mins wether should I log in or not. The amount of unfun to play against champions is more than the fun ones. Yes in the past there were some unfun champions but not this much. I guess removing all the runes and having nothing would make balance easier, since all the champions who are unfun are always abusing some kind of rune (ex: updated Dark Harvest)

They are trying to balance champions with runes but it will never work.

It's actually kind've sad that a tank meta would actually be better than a two shot meta. I remember engage tanks making almost half the cast irrelevant, causing the game to also revolve around ADCs too.

I've played since S1 and never in my league career have I felt like games are completely decided by the 10 minute mark until now.

It's almost to the point where its not even enjoyable anymore. I don't enjoy winning. I don't enjoy losing. Every game I play either win or loss, is just a complete utter stomp. I haven't felt "outplayed" or felt like I "outplayed" someone in such a long time. It doesn't help that the role I've played since S1 (ADC main) has felt completely irrelevant since preseason of S8.

And as a point of reference for the state of ADCs, Imaqtpie is a challenger level ADC main who is currently D1, close to demoting to D2.

Just a little vent here as well, I just got completely annihilated by a support Leona, with dark harvest, as Twitch. (I did not have flash or heal) -She missed her ult -Flash stunned, ignited, chased until stun was off CD and by that time I was dead -Leona had Zeke's and Remnant of the Aspect vs my BOTRK and zeal

We are in a state of League where winning leaves you feeling satisfied, and losing feels like shit because you just get snuffed out. And they wonder why toxicity is so high lately.

……….. why do you guys still play the game? Take a break until the game is in a state you enjoy. All your stuff will still be here when you get back, if that time comes. I promise.

I 100% agree. Mid has become AD 90% of games, support has become the who should i try as support today.

Just played a game against a Dark Harvest Katarina, she was god awful (the type to jump at you under turret and get stunned and die twice, or take like 3 tower shots without even realizing it) but she just jumps on u and half the time doesn't even need to ult to just delete you in half a second. Overwhelmingly frustrating.

If you think that you would rather have tank meta then you didnt experience tank meta.

MasterDClone11/26/2018, 9:24:04 PM2 votes

if you don't have fun winning or losing maybe you should take a break from the game, because were in preseason so the game will stay like this for the next couple months

Step 1: Wait for game to start Step 2: See the other team choose every broken AD champ in the game Step 3: Walk away from computer

Getting banned for 5 games almost feels like a break from getting 2 shot by everyone

My point of "i rather have tank meta than 2 shot meta" was to stress the fact of how Utterly annoying this meta is, i KNOW tank meta was also super annoying .... but not this bad. that was the point of using that as an example. Ideally i'd rather have it so games were actually able to have several strats in them without EVERYONE being an assassin. When an Ezreal can kill you just as fast as a zed if not faster ... then you know somethings wrong, Zed is MENT to be an assassin not Ezreal (and its more than just these two as an example) I've seen MF's nuke people, Jihn is crazy scary, even as Malz or lulu i can blow people up in seconds.

every time im near any champ 1 miss click = death, this wasn't always a thing in previous seasons, you could make a mistake and still live or turn a fight around if you played well, now its "got hit? you dead"

Also I know the game was always bias for AD champs but now more than ever the game is so and it's depressing.

The team that wins is the team that gets off their DH procs first.

Just remember, the problem with the LAST tank meta we had WASN'T Because the tanks would die, that's what item 3153 item 3035 item 3071 , item 3135 and item 3151 are for... The ISSUE, was that the tanks were harder to kill but STILL DID HIGH DAMAGE.

I think at least now we have narrowed it down to ALL DAMAGE DEALERS instead of ALL CHAMPIONS doing to much damage, tank meta will come back when its not more feesable to explode the enemy before they explode you AND when they make a FUN/skill expressive tank!

I got one-shot from 1200 hp as a Jax getting hit by a Jhin with Dark Harvest.

Stopped playing league entirely for now because of this. Glad I'm not the only one, was just thinking I was getting old :-P

i never found winning fun to begin with. to me, fun is what you make of it. i play the game just to play.

That's because you don't earn your wins anymore you're given them by superior champion picking! You're no longer playing a strategy game you're now playing a champion simulator.
