Is League fun for anyone else right now?
I will play if we can make it late game or we can turn it around. I will play up to the surrender mark. I will even play if the enemy pushes us in base before 12 min. But just now, for the first time in a very long time, I raged quit out of a game vs a Quinn, Lee, Varus and the score was roughly 0 to 7 around 8 minutes. I'm not the kind of person to rage quit games but this time I was just fed up. I don't know if it's the lethality meta, the current FotM champs, the fact that almost all of my friends have abandoned this game for Overwatch, or even that I've played for so long that I've seen the drastic changes the game has gone through, but League has just......lost it's charm and isn't fun anymore.
Before, I could just jump in a match with any of my favorite champs to play as and just have fun. Now it feels like if I don't play a champ that's FotM or abuses lethality, I'm going to lose. It also doesn't help that bans are still limited to the public and only for pro play because if you try banning
or
you still have
and so many more to possibly face.
Almost every match I see fucking Edge of Night built, and even though I'm aware it's getting nerfed next patch and there was a hotfix for it recently, it still feels unfun to play against. Tanks, unless you're
or
, feels useless with lethality + armor pen. AP junglers have vanished and more so we are left with what feels like a limited jungle pool of what is good.
Just.... there's no joy for me anymore when I go into a match. The only time I did have that feeling was with URF mode, just knowing I was going into a ability spamming randomized team seemed fun to me. But with any other match, ranked or normal, I feel stressed, just wanting to win this match so I can break my lose streak and gain some sanity back. I feel like I'm going to get a fucking heart attack just by continuing to play the game. "Well take a break from the game and come back when yo-" That's not the point! Taking a break from this isn't going to do any good, unless I stop playing for 3 patches and everything calms down. The game as it is right now is just in a shit state for me. I can't find joy in matches anymore.
I don't want to quit League. I don't. League has been a special game to me since it introduced me to the MOBA style and got me playing with my close friends. But with what feels like a shit storm hitting it right now, all my friends abandoning this game to me alone, and myself trying to cling on and hold out/ hope things will get better but that hope is also slowly dying/dead at this point, I'm about ready to abandon ship as well.
But... you know why do I even bother with this post? By now it's already downvoted by mind dead people who didn't even bother to read my post, just the fucking title. Wonderful community boards we have! All I'm doing is just posting how I feel about the game and wondering if people share my feelings. If not, fine. Continue to play what I feel is a shit game at the moment. If so, great. We're both on the same page.
