So far what people find wrong with League ... a Checklist

Let's dive right into it then ....

  • Every 8 out of 10 games, people keep getting autofilled and asking for other people's roles.
  • Dodges are constant and wait times are long because of autofill ...
  • If someone goes afk, or rage quits after the first minute ... you're stuck for 20 minutes and then lose LP.
  • Whoever loses bot first is pretty much a win for the other team 80% of the time.
  • 4 man clown fiestas bot lane in mostly every game ...
  • Meta's too dependent on Jungle so if other Jungler outperforms yours, your team will suffer.
  • MMR isn't great at pairing up teams and you're likely to face people above your division often.
  • If they pick one of these Camille Caitlyn Katarina Leblanc Khazix Rengar Vi Malzahar Hecarim ect. you're likely to lose.
  • Snowballing is way too strong and simple mistakes can cost you the game (especially in high elo).
  • Towers are tissue paper and whoever cheeses getting first blood on tower gets a big advantage.
  • Infernal Drakes ... big shift in power if a team has one or more. If they get 3, it's likely gg.
  • item 3107 being abused by people besides Supports, a team building 2-3 of them.
  • item 3078 Divers / Bruisers becoming tanks with tons of damage due to this item.
  • Tanks being able to destroy ADC's such as TahmKench Poppy Malphite ect.
  • Even winning team fights will likely get your Nexus killed because Ziggs Tryndamere are splitting.
  • Cassiopeia Swain Urgot Evelynn ect. will likely continue to not receive any skins.
  • Yasuo Riven will never be healthy in the community's eyes and will piss people off to no end.
  • Mages with item 3116 will always be a huge problem, and will likely never be balanced.
  • Aatrox Mordekaiser may not get any treatments for a long time, continuing to sit on the shelf.
  • All holiday events now revolve around gambling, and requires lots of RP to benefit from it.
  • Keystones and particular items will always make X champion superior to Y champion.
  • Ranked relies heavily on luck, since your measure of skill is overlapped by bad teammates.
  • Censorship (Graves is an obvious victim of this).
  • Azir Shen ect. will always be gutted so they don't see pro play ever again.

There's more issues I have with League, but so far these are all of them I could think of. I love this game, and I believe Riot does a terrific job on most concepts but there's glaring flaws that really hurts me (Ranked being luck based with who you get as teammates is one of them with a flawed system that measures MMR and all that).

Censorship has been around since the beginning, just look at karthus.

...at least for now, while his whole face isn't masked due to censorship (like in LPL). =b (i.e. Phantom Karthus, Statue of Karthus already edited to have no face) China thinks skulls are bad, so we can't have.

Indeed, yet most of the world is indifferent to the concept of undead, but doesn't have as big of a say in cultural differences. Most obvious with the more recent addition of the chinese skins, but very few for other countries, holiday related or otherwise.

tahm, poppy, malphite can't oneshot an adc unless they have 5 level ahead

I changed it since you're right about them not being about to 100-0 them, but I would argue Garen is closer to a Tank than a Fighter like Vi is. I could be wrong but regardless, I appreciate your feedback sir.

Garen's primary purpose is dealing damage, not peeling/engaging.

Seems my thread is getting downvoted for this one mistake. I'll just go ahead and remove him from the slot.

  1. Never had this issue, even all the way up to diamond MMR.

  2. Never had this issue, even all the way up to diamond MMR.

  3. That basically doesn't happen. Any time your team is arguing in champ select, you should generally dodge anyway. -3 LP> -15 LP and -MMR.

  4. Hey, you got one.

  5. Now you're getting it.

  6. Division/tier means jack shit. Division/tier is just a front for MMR. Its all about solo MMR; teams are irrelevant. MMR variance gap needs to be closed again...that's all.

  7. Balance in general is shit. Items, maps, masteries, champions. Don't just pin it on those champs. Damage creep is why they are strong, and damage creep is just a symptom of many of the issues in LoL right now.

  8. There's one again. Good job.

  9. Two seperate issues, for one. Two, first tower gold giving a big reward isn't a problem; offering a 70% winrate for it is. Three..well, yeah...towers suck atm. Damage AND durability.

  10. Elemental drakes in general are an issue. Getting 3 ocean drakes, then the other team sneaking a mountain/infernal is in no way 'strategy' on their part. Its simply luck.

  11. Locket being built a lot is a symptom of a problem...not the problem. Riot trying to make supports more popular by overloading the shit out of their items is the core of that problem...but again its a symptom of supports being terribly designed in LoL.

  12. Again, damage creep. Not just TF.

  13. Again, damage creep. Poppy is overloaded as shit. Tahm is overloaded as shit. If Malph is one-shotting you as tank, you're doing something wrong. **GAREN IS NOT A FUCKING TANK. **

  14. If you're teamfighting without a good cause while someone else is splitting, that's called a bad play.

  15. Out of all of those, only Cass does not have a planned VGU, which will re-do all of their skins. There are champs that receive fewer skins than even those anyway.

  16. Riven could be healthy if they fixed animation canceling and gated her in some way. Yasuo could be healthy if they gated him in some way.

  17. Rylai's isn't an issue right now. Looks like you're wrong.

  18. Aatrox has upcoming changes and is also slated for an eventual VGU. Morde supposedly has similar coming.

  19. Not even the issue. The issue is that their 'events' have always been "BUY OUR STUFF!!"

  20. Incorrect. Keystones do this. Items generally do not unless there is an extreme overlap or lack of identity among champions.

  21. Ranked does not rely on luck. There's a reason good players end up at the top and bad players end up at the bottom of the ladder. Stop being foolish. Saying "Ranked relies on luck" is an excuse to not look at yourself and improve your gameplay.

  22. Happens with a world-wide audience, especially when one large portion of it has extreme censorships.

  23. Azir's getting reworked. Confirmed. Shen's got a bad concept and needs a VGU.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Botlane being treasure island is most of the problem here. Seirously why are we left with only rift herald on top which is stupidly time consuming and risky. I bet even adding two minor objectives cant balance out the stuff littered on botside.

I didn't read 99% of this. I just saw your last point was shen would never see pro play again. He was in a game like 2 days ago.
