Riots done everything right! Change my mind

I like the direction Riot has taken with League of Legends.

1)Community is more than welcoming and educational. (What's toxic behavior?) 2) Matchmaking system is by far the best it's ever been. 3) The most balanced game known to man. 4) Making patches for Pro play instead of for the normal people playing this game. 5) so much more!

If I had a nickel for everytime I went positive in a game and got demoted I'd have enough to play another game. BUT! I'd never do that cause I love league too much. It's intertwined with my soul of a dragon.

So I've decided to embrace this game for all the craziness and trollyness and toxicnessness it has to offer.

When someone starts feeding, I try to let him know that he is just giving that other laner an ego to be crushed. When a jungle never ganks because he doesn't know what map pressure is, I tell him that they will fear his underleveled and wrongly built master yi. When I see someone go teemo support, I say you blow man, you blow your heart out cause when it comes down to defending our nexus and playing on the backfoot. That small amount of AP damage from a strangely built teemo could be the difference between a loss, and an easier loss.

No more shall I respond with accurate and aggressively true facts about what a laner should do if they start dying repeatedly. No more shall I spam ping on an adc's questionable positioning, they should be able to move freely and enjoy the consequences of what it brings. No more shall I bring up that Baron isnt warded and the entire enemy team is missing but 2 of my allies still want to catch a sweet wave bot lane.

This game has been my life for the last 4 years. So I say to you unhappy, frustrated, and beautiful people. Play each game like it's your last game on earth. Play for yourself and realize that this game is calculated chaos.

Clown fiestas forever!

Sincerely, me.

First Edit: This post is sarcastic. Thought It'd be funny considering the overwhelming amount of negative post about riot. The point of it was to basically say Riot doesn't care either way what anyone says, so just accept the game and have fun with it in whatever current state it's in unless you are a pro or making money off of it.

I'm sorry, I'm too busy laughing at the title to form coherent thoughts at the moment. This is kind of a magnificent post because you make enough actual points that your list of things you "like about the direction Riot has taken" looks like it could be either sarcasm or legitimate. I can't tell which, and it's not easy to nuance your way past my insight. For that alone I commend this post.

But you're definitely right about that last part. The game is calculated chaos. Or rather it should be, if you're playing it right. I've given up on League being a legitimately competitive game. The only reason to play it now is to screw with people as Shaco or Movespeed Nidalee.

Balance is still bad.

Xayah has been SS Tier for almost a year now.

I want someone to explain why them nerfing champions into irrelevance is better than buffing champions to be equal. I don't pretend to know about balancing a game as I am a software engineer for the automotive industry, but its makes more sense to make everything OP rather than everything feel like garbage. I honestly hate Rumble ever since they changed his Q to a 10 second cooldown at rank 1. Just feels like shit. I also hate the changes to Vayne. I also really hate how they have pretty much limited vision to trinkets and your support doing well. A support that does not finish his quest by an underperforming adc or afk adc screws an entire team out of vision. I just honestly hate that Riot is changing so many core game mechanics. The thing I honestly hate the most and will never change my mind is the RNG dragons. You can have an early game comp that is doing well and get the worst dragons, while the enemy has a mid game comp that you cant do much against mid game that could get 3 infernal dragons. And then you are fucked.
