It really is. League is like the baseball of esports.

Actually it's the other way around.People still play ranked for their mmr and hope for a better placement after provisional games in the new season.More players,however perform poorly intentionally or unintentionally due to that fact."It's preseason".

So in my experience,i see in almost every game players griefing.Meaning,farming 24/24 when they lose their lane so badly and refusing to group with their team to contest about objectives.So,players to have a right when they get salty.

Especially,when you see Gold players running down mid versus 2-3 enemies only to die after using his flash only to fail and then flames his whole team saying he "doesn't care".

Lol. Everyone is playing the same preseason, it's not like their opponents have some inherent preseason advantage. Still makes no sense.

People are playing much worse right now. Like....extremely badly. It's very frustrating and honestly makes me wanna see people banned for trolling so hard/wasting time.

It feels like AP champs do no fucking damage. So if you play a mage, you're screwed. Everything is about AD right now and most of the heavily buffed champs can 1-2 shot you. So...fuck this game.

Everyone is playing worse right now? Then how are games won? Lol. Someone wins, someone loses. Nothing's changed.

If you really believe AP is just terrible then play AD. Cuz apparently that's how you win.

Games are won not because of skill obviously.Hell,i'm struggling in Gold.I finished Gold 4 this season.I'm still trying to get better mmr for a better placement after provisional games.

However,it's frustrating as hell.Many players do not even try to win because of the "it's preseason" attitude.

Lol. Games aren't won because of skill. Interesting.

How are these games any different than last season or the season before that? Those people always exist. Blaming preseason? Every preseason has had people who say "It's just preseason". And how is the fact that preseason exists Riot's fault? A time period to iterate changes is needed during the downtime between competitive seasons to balance them.

I'm still not sold.

Talking generally differs a lot than talking about current state of the game.If you check the boards you'll find many posts about why league is not fun as it used to be.Posting a "League is fun" topic without checking the boards is not something decent.

I never blamed Riot.Season 2017 ended,players got their ranked rewards and stopped trying to win in ranked because of that fact.Otherwise the games in gold wouldn't be like clown fiesta.

For me the game stopped being fun since season 5.I'm still having hopes things will get better but it doesn't seem so.

Preseason happens every year. This is the same thing every year. People act the same way during it every year. Nothing has changed. League can't possibly be "not fun" just now if this is a recurring yearly event.

Do you just not have fun every year in preseason?

And I see the people whining about league not being fun. All their arguments are things like "towers are too weak, AD is too strong" yadda yadda. Yet noone is looking at it from the glass half full perspective like every clickbait youtuber is. "AD is so strong and fun to play rn! Towers melt so fast when I use demolish it's great".

Nope, everyone goes full pessimistic mode here. What's worse is half of them blame their performance on these changes in a game where it's 5 players vs 5 players all using the same preset conditions meaning if something is "hindering" you it's hindering them too.

All I see is pessimism and hypocrisy. League is fun, I'm not blind enough to not see that.
