A Letter to league of legends (rant)
The thought has been in my head for a while now. A pattern has been occurring for the longest time maybe even since the beginning of the game. If anything it got worse which is why its noticeable. Low tier groups of champions are buffed and eventually over powered, played for a while then nerfed to the ground. Not just champions, maybe everything about the game had this very simple pattern. I mean anyone can assume it's just there.
But riot has been exceeding the limits of the pattern and just cause a fluctuation of unnecessary feedback which is commonly negative. Never has anything been good out of these recent changes to the game, to me it all started from the juggernaut changes back in S5. Well I'm only human, we wont all like change but it should be out by now that the community doesn't really like where balance is going. Having almost 3 spell shields from AD champions going off simultaneously ever 30 seconds or a Varus q doing 600 damage + DFT damage hasn't really gave the best feedback, probably the worst for season 7 are these lethality changes. But of course thats just gonna rotate, I predict that tanks will be buffed from items and different champions.
I find it sort of amusing how whenever the balance team makes this rotation of meta, almost 70% of feedback is negative. Sorry I won't take the answer, "Everyone has their own opinion" or , "You gotta learn to adapt to it". Because it's very unclear what the exact goal of this game is. To improve? In what? Making players more toxic? Changing the meta while ignoring some of the most forgotten champions in your game? Giving games an autofilled player not knowing what to do? These 30-40 minute games aren't worth my time anymore, its the same thing every single time I enter a game. I don't even need to explain the stages of my league games since the community overall has the same non-unique games every single time.
So far, I don't care about the down votes I receive. This post isn't even directed to a certain audience, for me it's to clear the air and finally quit. This game was an addiction almost like cigarettes leaching off your lungs. Now I'm free from it, yay me. But I don't know what to do now, after all this game was my favourite, I spent so much time trying to get better but ended up being useless. I had dreams and ambitions and reach goals for a game, to others it sounds useless and silly. But this game had my heart to it, it was way for me to get motivation for the first time to do something. I didn't care what my motivation went to, I just wanted to do something.
Funny how I can care so much about a game to the point I can even cry because of the garbage state it's in. Oh well, it's been fun. So long riot games, thanks for all the changes in the game. I had nothing but the worst time ever! Thanks for sucking hours out of my day going towards nothing. Maybe this all can be summed up by the community saying, "You're just bad".
Not like you can understand or even care.
See you never, league
