Extreme, excessive, self-enforced overspecialization - are you fucking serious?!

Lost R··2 votes·883 views

So the community seems to be pushing forward an even more regressive and backwards idea, now, that not only do you just focus on playing ADCs and assassins exclusively and focus on teamfights and pentakills and literally nothing else, but entire roles and even CHAMPIONS are absolutely forbidden to do anything in the game that they aren't dedicated to doing, and the only thing anyone will acknowledge a champion is supposed to do is teamfight and get pentakills. Pushing and defending are things that literally no one is supposed to or allowed to do, or else you'll get four man reported for intentionally feeding or some stupid shit.

All of you out there are fucking stupid. You literally have no concept of what champions are even supposed to do anymore, and you constantly berserk charge at the enemy like a rabid fucking dog. Even the idea of a single champion fulfilling more than one role or just doing what needs to be done is such an alien concept that your mind reels and threatens to shatter itself from the idea. No wonder you think that champion mastery is equal to a college fucking degree!

This is how the game is imbalanced. It's not Riot's fault. It's the fault of fucking idiot players who specialize to such an extreme degree they can only do one thing that only occurs once in a blue fucking moon and absolutely refuse to do anything else that isn't that one thing. On top of that, everyone else around them is also overspecialized so they will only focus on that one thing. This is what has led to the imbalance of the game, and it's fucking depressing that so many years have passed and not only have players just not bought a clue, they're narrowing their perspective even further. At some point, even the basest of information will be incomprehensible to you and you will forget how to breathe.

what the hell are you talking about?

People refuse to push or defend lanes or go for objectives and will look to try and teamfight, even if it's the absolute last thing we should be doing. On top of that, everyone will refuse to do anything that their champion doesn't absolutely specialize in, no matter how necessary or simple the task is.

How fucking difficult of a concept is that to understand!?

Nobody knows what you're talking about specifically or agrees with you in a general way.

In the future when you have arguments with your teammates, try to concisely explain what you're thinking. Be open to feedback. If they seem angry, mute them. If you're so angry that you can't speak with civility, don't say anything. Insulting your teammates won't make them understand your thought process or agree with you.

This guys presentation is awful, but he's not wrong. I've had many games lately where people don't understand why Zed Yasuo Khazix Jhin Velkoz is a bad teamcomp.

It's not just having entire teams of assassins. It's having entire teams of assassins who then also think that if it doesn't involve assassining [sic], then they aren't supposed to do it and in fact will NOT do it. So that means you're depending on minions to push the lanes harder than the fucking players, who will not even defend the turrets even as you lost all three inhibitors and both nexus turrets before the ten minute mark, who won't go for dragon OR baron so you better hope to god that the enemy doesn't take an interest in them, either, who won't ward because "that's the support's job", who won't SWEEP for wards because "that's the support's job", who won't even smash the Farsight wards they might walk over because "that's the support's job".

THAT is the new level of overspecialization going on. This game is going to die because people refuse to do absolutely anything and everything anymore.

While I totally agree with you, I fear your anger may be pushing people away from our point of view. Not to insult you! I feel it inside as well. But we have to be patient. And kind. And understand that people will have differing opinions. The anger distracts from all the good points you made.
