What I feel about the changing of LoL

thisispk001··1 votes·485 views

I rarely post. Perhaps never posted. Because I am not really good at English. So, to anyone who bother to read on, please accept my apology in advance, for my English can be hard to understand. (For which I have been scorned in game and was asked to quit playing, for LoL is an English game) But after finding those surveys sent to my e-mail a/c, I think, if Riot really cares what I, a little non-professional player, think, I am willing to tell them. If they don't really care, it still doesn't hurt anyone, does it? So, here are my thoughts.

I would like Riot to know that I don't really care about how others (pro or not) play LoL. How do they think the game have to be played. I may try to learn something from them. But I want to play the game my way and have fun. I don't understand why people are forcing everyone to play the game in the same style. Why must it be 1 top, 1 mid, 2 bot and 1 jungle?

What is more ridiculous, when the opposite team do not follow this "rule", say, having 2 top instead of one, the top laner will probably constantly demand helps from allies. And no matter how much help his allies give him. No matter how his allies win their lanes. If he finds it hard to play (couldn't get fat or even get himself owned), he will forfeit the game and blame the team.

What I think about this is, if you really think that is the only way to play or win the game, you should be happy when the enemies ARE NOOBS that they do not follow the one true rule! You should be able to take advantage of it and win!

But no, they will not. They cannot. Yet, they insist that every living man on the earth have to follow this rule.

And you know what? It looks to me that Riot also agrees with this. They are making changes to give each champion a fixed role. In other words, they are limiting the champions to be played in certain way. I know they didn't really hard limited it. But the difference of the effectiveness is SO HUGE that I think most of the champions are no longer valid for different styles. Unless the difference of skill level between 2 teams are also AS HUGE.

It's not that I don't agree that each champion should have unique strengths. Actually I am happy about that. But I think it should be more about how different champions shine in different situations. Not about what they are limited to do so that they can be fit into some stupid catalogue.

For me, LoL is still a fun game. But it seems that you are making it less funny. By limiting how the game is to be played. Or shall I say, by making it more of a program to be operated than a game to be played?

I never liked this (from what I heard it's called) EU style, but I played along. I don't want to be the one ruining other's gaming experience. But come to think about it, mine is being ruined.

You have a good point OP and let me just be the first to say that your English is better than a lot of Native speakers who populate the game and try to push their ego's by playing their "English" game. I'd love to say more on that, because quite frankly some ethnic communities in particular whose children have swarmed the internet with their domestic issues need to stop their crap, spreading their toxic natures all over league from their basements but I digress. Your English is excellent and I like the point you bring up, too many people play leaugue like.. dummies? There are three types of people who play League:

**A. The Casuals who just try to do what everyone else is doing to find some success **

**B. The Try hards that do what all the pros do, think they know everything, and ironically without much research at all master some aspects of the game. **

**C. Rational minded people who can pick and choose what to play, meta or not and not have a total meltdown when things don't look "normal". Play the game to the fullest **

With that pretext and subset of people you will most likely encounter person A and B who will lecture you about how you need to know every role and certain champs. They will tell you what will never work and make you stick to "popular" champs for a set role. Just as you said "cataloged" champions. Solution? Ignore em and play what you want. If you are put in a lane that you dont have mastery of the preferred meta champs, but feel you can perform well regardless on a champ you do know choose that champ. If you are duoing with a friend and you guys decide to duo top lane, go for it.

You dont have to play the meta and lanes the same way everyone else is. Nor should you force your preferred way, if it happens though it happens. I will say though keep any lane innovation (duo top) out of Ranked because thats a different culture entirely due to e-sports and people trying to climb into the competitive scene. But Team Builder, Blind Pick, even Normal draft is grounds for whatever the hell you want. Go nuts man!
