Just came back to League after a 1-2 year break.

Just trying to add a little constructive criticism, I have never posted on the Board's before and this will probably be my one and only time. I understand that the community wanted to speed up the gameplay, but I mean you can't even try to strategize any more. There is zero opportunity in low elo (bronze/silver/gold) matchmaking to turn the game around if one of the carries is fed. I mean good luck even getting enough time to talk out the situation with your team members, you spend 1 min talking in chat and your tower is gone. It used to be that if an ADC or APC was fed early game, there were still a chance of your team mechanics outplaying the other teams in mid/late game. Now it's like sorry, better luck next game. The raw damage that carries are doing if fed is just plain ridiculous, being one shot as a tank... should not happen period. Anyways that's my opinion on the state of the game as it stands. I wish Riot and League the very best and hope that they continue to succeed in the future.

He's been playing for months so the title is kind of click bait.

honestly , im more upset about average game length and its effect on the game.

Sure you could argue longer games for a loss sucked, but just going into a game having one person or two people do bad and have someone hard carry them because they listen to them is just irritating

personally i hate new adcs. too safe 1k hp sheild kai'sa and invul r xayah? like come on, jhin has to be the safest fair adc their is why not expand on his general play?

and fuck irelia now, shes shit early but her late game is just plain unfair.

I love twitch, hes pretty damn ham, has poor self support but does the adc role right by being him.

I feel like supports need to get way weaker, adcs need to do less damage, tanks need to have slightly low damage overall, mid is just too everywhere to think about and jungle needs to be more meaningful for the player "lets clear camps and gank" is like the overall though process with little variation

You aren't supposed to spend a minute talking in chat..

I couldn't disagree more, people can't finish games to save their lives in low elo 'comebacks' (aka throw-fests) are a regular occurence.

yeah....i've been in games where enemy had our nexus to half health and we killed them....then defended our base not able to leave for like the next 10 minutes (could of been less but it felt like a eternity). Then after multiple defends we were able to push out and get baron and eventually won the game.

Like seriously nobody cares about how you defended your base in a silver game. That doesn't prove that comebacks are possible in an environment where people have any idea what they are doing.

Sure the OP is just flat out bsing about it not being possible in bronze/silver but if all 5 players have a brain on the other team comebacks just do not happen.

This from the same guy who thinks the only change to the game in the past 2 years are runes lol. Also im pretty sure the people who was on my team cared that we were able to come back and win that game so yeah...again you're wrong...people did care.

Like your other post about the runes pls only post when you have FACTS that back up what spews out your mouth.

I mean, there have been 10k+ gold deficit base defends and come backs in tournament games. They do happen.

Tournaments aren't really a good comparison. Tournaments don't have goofball potato feeders.

In a Silver game, if your bot lane fed their Jinx, you're not likely going to be able to lift them on your backs and carry the game. A fed Jinx is a fed Jinx. That's oppressive already, but the possibility of a turnaround is slight with the potato bot-lane that fed her in the first place. It depends on each game and each team comp, but the problem is that crit is scaling too hard and too early and quickly becomes tough for anyone to deal with. A fed Jinx with Runaan's is...not fun to play against.

Welcome to why I play this game extremely conservatively now, I only play league when my other games are down for maintenance and even then it's only aram or the rotating game mode.

If you havnt played for 2 years, even if you have been back for a little while, you shouldnt expect to come back to the same game.....or even have your opinion taken seriously.

Madsin251 votes

I mean besides runes reforged the game really hasn't changed that much in 2 years.

Really you think so? Only runes?

  • We are in May, if you go back to May of 2016 the game has had 10 champions released since then. Taliyah, Kled, Ivern, Camille, Xayah, Rakan, Kayne, Ornn, Zoe & Kai'Sa
  • There have been 9 champs completely reworked. Ryze, Yorick, Warwick, Galio, Urgot, Xin Zhao, Evelynn, Swain & Irelia.
  • Back then the Rift Helrald was not the same as it is now, it is way different now.
  • There was only 1 dragon before patch 6.9 which came out in May 2016 when the 5 elemental dragons were released.
  • Multiple item changes. Items added, items removed.
  • Multiple jungle camp changes.

This is just what comes to mind, im pretty sure the list can go on.....far more than just rune changes in the past 2 years.
