ill tell you why.

it's my playstyle. it doesn't fit with this game anymore.

The way I lane is completely obsolete.

in previous seasons i would tend to play recklessly in order to get my opponents feeling overconfident, and then i would either lead them into tower as bait, or lead them into ganks using myself as bait.

or i would play recklessly in order to learn the way my laner patterns his attacks(what rotations he used, what circumstances he'd need me in order to decide when to all in, etc) i would then look for openings in when he attacks, and take advantage from a safe range, or when his cooldowns are popped if i'm melee

this season and season 6(not as bad as this season, but still bad) there is almost ZERO room for error. there's so much damage even eating one snare, stun, or knockup +tlords proc is a death sentence. sure you can HP pot up, but you're still down 50% of your hp with a slow HoT while they sit there and zone you off of minions at that point.

and you know, i've definitely tried to change my playstyle. i've tried being more cautious. it still doesn't change the fact that if i don't play perfectly and i get caught once, that could definitely spell a FB/FTB and cost me the lane by 7 minutes.

it's fucking ridiculous. not to mention if it happens to my teammates and not me.

i remember when even if someone left a lane 2/0 with half an item on me, even if i ate a few hits from them i still had a change to MAYBE outplay them. now? haha forget it you get hit with a tlords proc from a roaming laner with half an item on you and you're FUCKED.

this game really just isn't the same strategic game it was from s1 to s5. now it's just MASH KEYBOARD AND CHEESE WITH INSANE DAMAGE on EVERYONE.

well one would have to understand that through the seasons/years all have played that every one including lower elos/skill players are all better then they once were... therefore able to take advantage of mistakes , know how to exploit things...

a silver 2 player in season 7 compared to season 4 ( same player ) is still better now then they once were just by pure experience

I guess it's a little true keeping in mind that every patch and new champ that Riot releases is always them saying "we wanna change how you think when you play league" or some crap along those lines haha. But still, I play recklessly too- it's not necessarily obsolete but it's a make-or-break for your game if it works or not when you do it.

Play few champions, that are strong and you enjoy playing. Avoid playing more than 5 games a day to avoid tilting, or atleast take breaks inbetween especially after loses.
