Problems with league?

xReIjp05OJ·Jun 19, 2016·5 votes·679 views

This is simply a discussion, im not here to bash league/riot for what they've done to the game. Im just here to discuss what my/yours biggest frustration with league are.

For me:

Champ balance/meta.

The meta is constantly changing on whats good or bad or average. Everyone currently only plays the top tier picks and its actually disgusting and boring to see same 30 champs every game I play.

I never see:

Creep Block.

This is one of the saddest things on this game. The amount of times i've died due to creep block, not to mention the hundreds of cs I've missed due to creep block. This is one of the main reasons I stay away from melee champions, and stick to ranged (AP mages). When I do play melee champs I get the worse creep block, it's quite depressing.

Tank assassins. Or most assassins in general.

I honestly don't ever feel like I got "outplayed" by assassins, it's more like, they just bursted me down before I could react.

Fed leblanc? Q>R>W = Zero counterplay unless you have a braum or someone to shield/help you. Fed zed? He'll miss all his skillshots and still 1 shot you with his ult and 1 auto.

I get it, assassins do their job to kill, 100-0 people, but we need more counterplay to the current assassins.

Match making.

Half my games I'm either boosting players or playing with boosted players. It's quite the experience when your plat 3 leona support brings heal and exhaust (and legitimately thinks it's good).

Honestly in ranked currently, if youre not able to carry you're not going anywhere because most games no ones carrying unless its yourself. I was stuck in silver 1 for 2 weeks, the second I got out of silver 1 from all those unlucky games, instantly climbed to gold 3, and now I took a semi-break and dont play ranked as much currently, but most games in ranked now are just luck.

Are you lucky enough for your team to not feed, or to pick decent champions, etc.

Rant over, let me know what your guys frustrations/turn offs to this game.

My feels on your points

1-Champ balance Personally I feel Riot should drop all creations of new champions after they finish any projects they are currently working on. Let the game creators finish whatever they are doing for current champions in the workshop. But after that. No more. They should focus all time and power into balancing every single champion that is currently made. They should decide who needs a rework, who doesnt. Who needs numberes tweeked and who doesnt. Who needs a soft rework, and who is fine as is. It makes no sense to me, why Riot will constantly make their jobs harder to balance the game by creating more and more champions whom aren't even needed. That time should be focused onto fixing the champions that are currently out.

2-Creep Block Honestly I am not quite sure what you are talking about here. Sure creep block still occasionally happens, but it was fixed from the horror of what it use to be at the begging of the season.

For your next point I will divide it into two parts, for I feel these are two completely different issues

3-Tank assassins I feel the blame on this is the fact that the tank items in this game are far better than the damage items. We have never seen this happen in season four or season three. In the past a assassin simply built full damage, and maybe a guardian angel, and other than that, the assassin player was simply a "I nuke you, or you cc me and I die" character. I have played towards the end of season 4, i played in all of season five. And I played in season six, the whole "tank assassin' Thing only became a thing this year. And that is riots fault, for making tank items better than damage items. To fix this issue, we need new AD items that have more allure than the tank items, some rework to the tank items. And perhaps the best way to fix this is to do the following.

We had a Marksman update, we had a Mage update.

Why not have the Assassin update? Riot talked about it, and now it looks like it was canceled.

Fact was assassins sucked for the majority of season 5 and assassin players got desperate, they said "Why don't i just build tank?"

However I also feel like it is the player base at fault for why they are so good. I am going to say something that most people have no clue of.

Tank/bruiser assasins, have terrible scaling. Late game this is what will happen

The Legit tanks on the enemy team will be tankier than them while having more cc

The Legit damage dealers on the enemy team, will be pure ad, with armor penetration, and can now one shot the full tank assassin.

Tank assassin is simply pure mid game focus, they one hundred percent fall off in the late game.

3 part 2-Assassin bursting people down

Honestly they have plenty of counter play, for example Zed always appears behind you when he ults, that leaves a million plays to be made, the problem is people refuse to learn. As for other assasins, I admit, Talon lacks counter play, good Rengars lack counter play. Le Blanc somewhat lacks counter play, oh and Katarina lacks counter play against certain comps. But their is almost always a option. Learn to look for it.

4-Matchmaking Nothing for me to argue here, match making is ass. But it is not pure luck, if it was pure luck we would not have diamond players

Mainly agree.

I want to mention about the match making thing.

Although it may not be 100% luck obviously, it comes down to if you haven't ever climbed before and youre not a decently high elo smurf (master+) it'll take awhile for you to climb.

There are so many games where the game just snowballs out of control and its completely out of my hand and we just lose and I had no say in it because im sitting there 2-0 but my entire team is 0-6 feeding.

Like I truly believe there is lucky vs unlucky because we've all seen those games where your team is beyond dead weight (thats how I was stuck in silver 1. I would get an S literally every game, but would only win like 50% of them). I ruined my mmr trying to climb from silver 1 - gold 5, but now it's back higher than average (gladly.)

but at the same time everyone around you has to deal with the same feeders that you do.

You got gold 3 that is something to be proud of. Some silver players will NEVER BE gold. You got to gold for you were gold quality, and you should not let anyone take that away from you.

Yeah true. The way I view myself though, sometimes I expect better, but honestly it's my first time climbing. Ive only been playing ranked for like 1-1.5 months, and rest of my time on league have been normals or bot games, but i finally got tired of playing at silver elo, so figured id just climb it. (I was super scared to play ranked till i finally did...on my other acc ofc) Now im working on plat, but honestly most of my games in gold vs silver, I think gold is easier for me than silver, but i hardly can tell the difference. (I mainly get low plats in my games, and its weird that I cant tell the difference between plat vs silver, its almost the same playstyle, just maybe a bit more coordinated on objectives/higher cs usually, but other than that theyre pretty similar...) Funny how this game is now..
