I can really empathize when people say this game isn't fun anymore

I try my best to be optimistic and not be rude or salty, but god damn if this doesn't feel completely one sided sometimes. Rift is always the same shit, different day. Fiora, the Juggernauts, Vayne, Sated junglers, yasuo, Thresh.... and then there's the community whining about champs that are good but not anti-fun or unfair to fight, community asking for nerfs for champs that don't need them, community asking for buffs for champs that clearly don't need them (look at the juggernauts and fiora, that's what happens when people don't wait long enough for a champ's potential to be realized)... it's honestly pretty grating. Like it's one thing to play a game and feel like "hey, it's my fault I lost, that was a good game though" and "this feels like complete horseshit"

I honestly feel tired when I get through a game now.

I understand how you feel completely. But you shouldn't completely give up. Remember that this is a video game, and it's meant to be fun before it's a competition. I know a lot of things make it unfun, but you gotta keep your head up :) Play with your friends or from time to time, try a champion you hate. I despised Master Yi and I tried him yesterday. Managed to get a pentakill on my 3rd game as him. Compared to other junglers, he's absolutely insane, simple, and very fun. You have to remember, you should enjoy this game for yourself. You have nothing to prove to anyone, unless you wanna prove your skill to yourself.

If that doesn't work out, try playing another game or do something that makes you happy :D

Probably the nicest comment Ive ever received on these boards lmao

thank you. that was actually a bit refreshing. I sometimes forget that this game is a lot less taxing when you play with friends, too.

Funny thing is, I don't even see Fiora, Riven, Thresh or Vayne anyway as often as the people in the boards say.

Yasuo and Thresh aren't all that bad, there is a good number of champions that can do well against them in lanes. (Do note that most of the champs that do well against them aren't popular)

So far, Skarner and Yi are the only two of the devourer junglers I would say are annoying.

Out of all the juggernauts, Garen is the most obnoxious.

I personally feel like Yasuo has too much 'tacked on' shit, but I don't think he's broken or anything. Thresh I like more than blitz. I just don't like seeing him so often.

Fiora is still overtuned. Community went way over board with her and the Juggernauts, Riot even acknowledges that.

I'd agree on Fio and the juggernauts being overtuned, that's for sure. But the only juggernaut I consistently see is Garen, the most obnoxious of them all.

Skarner is pretty balanced out while still being a god of lategame, Morde is still 3 hit king, Darius is still the dunkmaster, but Garen.. Garen the press E for penta kill dude is the worst of the lot.

Not to mention that Garen's ult passive wastes abilities of certain champions.

Here's a fun thing to play around with, AP Maokai vs Yasuo. It's actually quite hilarious, not to mention viable. I played it and bullied him pretty hard in lane (Until a random 6/1 Lee came up to gank) and could fight him head on in the mid-late game.

says that community wants nerfs that aren't needed thinks yasuo is op

Thats what people said back when Tanks were meta. "Its the same crap everyday, tanks tanks and more tanks..." Riot changes: "Its the same crap everyday, (insert whatever it changed to)"

Also, if you just get off the Boards, you'll find the game more enjoyable and less toxic because you won't have to see a complaint every 3 seconds. Take breaks if you can't completely quit the Boards.

Speak for yourself, man, I think the Juggernauts are a blast.

They have really good kits, they're just too "efficient." Darius's mana costs are nonexistent for how much power he's got, Garen's spin dealing 10 ticks of damage in 3 seconds late game, etc etc. I think it really only needs to be number-tuned, but these reworks are pretty good.
