I'll go play Overwatch thanks...

At least Blizzard know how to balance a game mostly and do not play favorites like Riot does all the time. I recently played a game and realized exactly why I hate this game and left it orginally. No matter where I am in a game of Overwatch, winning or losing. I never feel like I'm effectively useless within the game and cannot turn a loss around.

It is just not fun, because of ADC's.

ADC's like Vayne completely ruin the game FOR ME (IN MY OPINION) because essentially, even if she dies 50 times at the start of the game, she can still dominate in the late game. Its pathetic that she is about the ONLY champion in this damn game that can do that and she is continually looked over like Riot thinks that its a good design to have a character based solely on right click auto-attack procs that NEVER miss.

She easily melts takes, making playing most of them almost utterly pointless and she never feels like she ever gets punished for really playing bad due to the fact that her endgame is so damn powerful.

Riot did the marksman update and gave most ADC's in the game a huge power boost Graves Ashe Tristana etc (something they are about to do with assassins) and yet they cannot be asked to do anything of consequence in the "Mage" update, rather then break things that never needed changing in the first place, like Velkoz and Malzahar Meanwhile giving huge additional damage to other mages that never needed it in the first place, Annie and Brand.

I'm sorry but when you look at the differences between AD champions and AP champions. You find that AP Champions generally have to sacrifice any form of mobility or escape while most AD champions, bruisers, ADC's ect, most have that for absolutely free. It makes the game feel completely frustrating and unfair just because I don't want to play a champ that is promoting carpel tunnel syndrome by spamming right click.

We have had this marksman crap for half a year now and people still complain its overpowered. ADC is the ONLY role in the meta that is absolutely needed, whereas if you take a game like Overwatch (not completely the same but you get the idea), there is a massive variation in team composition and strategy. Even Heroes of the Storm feels more balanced then this does.

I'm sorry, I really used to like League but I just do not recognize the game anymore. Its become more a test of reaction speed then actual strategy or skill and that just does not sit that well with me.

I know you will downvote my opinion but I remind you that it is my opinion and I am just giving some feedback which may explain why League is losing people to other titles on the market. The game just doesn't feel fun or fair anymore and that is partly the communities fault for abusing whatever mistake or oversight Riot makes.

League just feels like a stale shadow of its former self. Riot are trying too hard to be "edgy" and forgetting the basics that made this game great in the first place. There is only so many times you can "reinvent the wheel".

Agreed. OW is overrated in my opinion. I got sick of it after 2 weeks. Its just not fun to play if its not just to kill time while listening to an LCS match.

You know what the definition of skill ceiling is? genji sobs in distance Seriously, i wanted to KMS everytime i face a good genji.

Genji does require a level of situational awareness and skill as you need to get close to be effective, leaving you somewhat exposed. One Zyria ultimate and you are pretty much caught out and dead... Mei is another decent counter to him.

You could literally say that about any champion in league.

I stopped reading there because I was crying of laughter from the toddler-killing levels of ignorance in that statement.

Go look at some OW pro and SoloQ stats and come back once you've got actual reasons to ''go play overwatch'' beside the fact that you are just salty being bad.

Actually, Starcraft Brood War was considered to be one of the most, if not the most balanced RTS games of all time and get this, it only took 9 patches after release to balance it.

However, I don't think even they can balance a game like League. I don't think it's even possible to balance League due to the greater complexity of gameplay.

Yeah ok, Brood was possibly the best game out there at the time and was balanced for sure, but, they are doing a bad job with Overwatch and HotS.

Like, a **terrible **job.

Ill gladly make you reconsider "Blizzard balancing" and "lack of favoritism" if I see you when I'm on Genji (trash Genji speaking). Also a wannabe Sombra player. Can't wait to practice on her.

Anyways "Vayne is the only champion that you can die over and over again and still do well late game"

Jinx Nasus Veigar Kayle Yasuo Cassiopeia Kindred Gangplank and others. Late game champions are late game champions. It's your own fault and the fault of your team if you can't end the game before they reach their late game.

You do know that all this verbal abuse over an opinion is just proving me correct about why League has a horrible reputation in the gaming world.

Overwatch is just an example, it is for the most part balanced, with just a few exceptions because its a tactical shooter and requires more then auto-attacking with right click spam to win a fight. You actually have to aim.

You seem to have the misconception that "takes skill" == Balanced. More so that a tactical shooter is some how exempt from cheese tactics. (stop knifing me you F*cking Noob Tuber)

If anything, "takes skill" simply makes it harder for people to determine balance. This will become apparent in the pro scene as difference in skill becomes much smaller. Give it a year, and I'm sure Overwatch will have meta and non meta characters.

OW has had meta and out of meta pretty much since the start tho, both in and out of the pro scene.

Notable is the "Whichever team has the better Genji wins" meta, mostly because so many people got triggered so hard. I wonder why? Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo : ^ )
