I Don't Know How Much Longer I Can Keep Playing League, It's Just Not Fun

63536895_DEL·Mar 3, 2016·6 votes·1,574 views

Since the release of about a 3rd of all champions released are toxic

These failed reworks , really great work on though.

These champions that can't be itemized against

These low risk high reward assassins

These needless buffs

These items

These long death timers

These weak towers

Recently League hasn't been fun for me in the slightest. I just took a break from League for a few days, and today I've been playing some normals, and they weren't really fun. Weak towers and long deaths timers are part of it, but it's the champions that are really ruining this game for me.

I've played 3 normal games today. After taking a few days off I can really see that its 1 or 2 champions every game that make me want to quit League. The 1st game had The 2nd game had The 3rd game had

This is not a quit post, I still intend to play League, but I realize now that I don't play League for fun like I used to, because the fun in this game is gone, its gone and as far as I can tell it's not coming back.

I realize now that the only reason I still play League is to play the champions that I enjoy playing and some others. Even though I hate a lot of things about League right now, playing Shaco whether I'm making mistakes and feeding or making plays and carrying is enjoyable.

I hate that its like this though, I think champions being fun and fitting my play style is a good enough reason to play League for now, but I really want League to be fun again, but if Riot keeps pushing League in its current direction I don't know how much longer I can keep playing.

TL;DR - Please fix your game Riot, prove to us you don't draw balance idea's out of 's hat.

i feel you, i'm only playing long enough to get to gold so i can quit for the rest of the season and come back to see if riot has fixed anything (probably not though LOL) most of the people i played league with quit last season and even more are quitting this one so like.... rip.... Hopefully riot notices how stupid this game is now because i miss old league............. it really was fun to play the first couple seasons

Then quit, this is a PvP game, not a PvE game, "hurr durr make towers stronger cuz I am bad xD".

This is one of the best seasons, the best was season 3 ofc.

Lol this is far from one of the best seasons. More people dislike the status of the game than ever before. The game is boring due to passive play because of absurd death timers and paper towers. The game isn't strategic, its make the best power-pick you can and don't feed. Every class has metagolem builds outside of a few champs.

Diversity is squashed the moment it arises.

Riot's latest philosophies are a far cry from what people enjoyed about the game.

Nope, heard the same amount of QQ from terribads in season 3 as I do now in season 6. My games are full of action, glass cannon and team fights. Blame yourself, not the game.

There is no strategy in the game anymore, its basically whoever has the stronger champion or item wins.

Moba's used to be about whoever had the better teamfight or better strategy won. Not whoever facerolls their keyboard harder won the game. Before if someone got very fed, you focused them down and could still win, ohh that 10/0 Kata is murdering us? CC her and blow her up and watch that the rest of her underfed team dies. That no longer exist, now its that 10/0 Kata won the game since 3 towers, a drg are down by 10 minutes. Laning phase used to be not the end of the world. You could suck in laning and still be somewhat useful in teamfighting, now all games are determined by laning or hell even champion select, which Riot stated they never wanted to be a thing. Its a thing now. Teams have given up just from champ select due to how critical it is now.

I know Riot has no intentions of do anything since A. Riot can't do wrong and B. Its working as they purposely intended it to be.

That is why people are leaving in droves or sticking to ARAM. And even ARAM is getting boring.

There is still strategy involved, which you obviously fail to adapt to and make your own, don't blame the game, blame your self.

Ok Mr. Unranked all you play is Talon and Yas in blind normals. Clearly a smurf account. Is your main banned? With your attitude im guessing so.

N00B PWN3RMar 4, 20161 votes

Nope, just leveling a smurf account waiting for pure solo Q.

Play Heroes of the storm with me! =D

Or keep playing league, you have to play the op's or get pooped on, those are the rules of league right now.

Azir/kalis/ekko/illaoi aren't toxic O_o

Tahm might need a rework cause he just gets nerf after nerf due to his devourer's save potential and shield at this point, his damage was always fine people just didn't want to deal with his E mainly and him saving an ally without the ally deserving to be saved (Basically tahm can save even the worst screw ups).

Fiora's rework wasn't a failure. While GP's was just dumb, implemented the clunkiest move in the game which is brokenly OP in the off-chance you land it. They were pretty dumb for it and it should be reworked into a more reasonable skill....

Yea while not being easy to itemize against you can still itemize vs them. Yi's case however he is an outdated champ who's only focus was scaling off of kit and attacking, but they gave him free tank stats on heal and his passive AS, on-hit, and double hit just made him hyperscale with just AS/on-hit items no real need for AP/AD but just a non-wasted stat. He could use a rework.

They're moderate risk, high reward. Fizz even with his E is simple to peel and kill, LB is a nice CC target since her dash speed gives enough time. While zed's damage isn't clean and you can block part of it while his shurikens are dodgeable. All of which fall off hard late game.

Lee actually needed a buff because even with the most skilled players lee just has nothing to do later on in the game. His early game needs slight damage trimming but his late game is nothing unless you're a god at ulti aiming. All lee needs is a change of power focus.

Lux were in the right place but should have had her rank 1-4 Q snare duration hit to compensate, but the QoL buffs were reasonable. Xin's I have no idea why after waiting for such a long time to give him the AD ratios on healing which made sense they wouldn't compensate nerf him and additionally remove him healing from turrets, they literally just buffed him outta nowhere.

Devourer isn't a problem it's that they planned it pre-herald and herald made it go crazy. I'm glad herald is getting nerfed though.

Rageblade just needs a price raise to 3.2k, add recurve bow to the recipe, Move the base stats on rageblade to the passive and remove melee attack double stacking. It's literally a hybrid's deathcap/IE for no cost, although the main reason for no price raise is it's build path was pretty dumb.

Death timers are #1 reason for all the salt and tilt this season. They improved game flow without fixing death timers to reflect that.

But really it's not the end of the world. I've been playing league for 6-7 years now and have taken even 3 months break occasionally. League is still a game you can return to but it doesn't force you to play, you don't have to invest a heavy amount of time to stay relevant and can come back when you feel you're ready. I just wish those who literally act like their god is dying would understand that.

I'm glad for your thoughts though and hope they're improved upon too.

im sick of this game. Seems like Riot forgot what made it great. Removed all the items i loved(mejais(old one) sword of the occult, leviathan, even old guinsoos) and they completly thrown away that you could build anything on any champs. And yes killing a tower in the oldern days actually was a big challenge. When a new champ came out when i started i immidiatly understood them. now its like every ability from a new champ has like 3 side effects. For me it went into the bucket when they first introduced fiora. Removing AP Yi was the worst thing they have ever done and the reason why this game is into that state now. and the reworks.......How stupid are you? Destroying your own masterpiece champs that everybody loved and replacing them with the bad complicated shit from nowadays. Its time you realize we are not all pro players and this is crucial, when you continue like that, everybody will leave and your pro players too. The main problem is, you completly abandoned new players, while this should be your focus. Make a smurf option, in your how familiar are you with moba games, and ban every single smurf who says otherwise. Reinstate the tribunal, let your players do the justice, not the stupid computurized shit you call leaver buster. Let people leave games in champ select without freakin time penalties. And for gods sake, forget your stupid champion diversity, get back to item and this is most important, build path diversity, let the games be longer, remove your new champs with 17 skills, or scale them down, and only bring on new champs when they are enjoyable and easy to learn. We dont want our game to change all the time. We just wanted it to stay great. That will keep players playing it. This game used to be soo much fun, jungeling was like an adventure, pulling dragon with blitz grab was awesome, and tower killing was about the most rewarding feeling ever, and when u got down an inhibitor man that was awesome. Remove your stupid double smite, smite on champions, jungeling, support items that u cant buy on other champions, get your mindset back to season 3, the community didnt suck, everyone asked were the others were from, there was no stupid chat filter cause noone used any bad langugae, and noone was tryharding so much. now though, the only way to enjoy this game is to be Faker. And i don't want that.
