Games are so lopsided it's not even fun.

The games you win its a landslide where even if you mess up the enemy team is to far behind to come back. Only comeback potential is elder if it lasts that long.

The games you lose you just spend the rest of the game just trying hold base while they can freely rotate to drags and baron. And you can not even contest after the second drag because your team is getting blown up instantly. Deaths are at an all time high and people never play safe. I have seen the highest amount deaths this preseason and in ranked.

Everyone gives up at 14 minutes with "Unwinnable", "its a loss" and you can try and play it out enemy team can take baron at 20:00 in 30 seconds. Mental boom is so strong but the sad thing is there not wrong half the time.

Skill is at an all time low and damage is at an all time high. Its not surprising because whoever hits harder wins instead of whoever played better. Damage is now the ultimate stat check instead of skill.

Games used to be able to be played out with teams being able to give and take without one player being able to cost you the game. Now there is just a clear winner in the first 12 minutes and its disgusting.

Summoners rift has been turned into urf my least favorite game mode.

Because Riot balances the game for its korean overlords who play on PC bangs and demanded quick games, they even droped the surrender vote down to 15 minutes. It's fucking obvious they cater to their masters while the rest of us will only remember the days where 1 league game was at least 40 minutes in length and felt like a true experience.

Lets face the made this bloody game too easy for the younger generation that will have health problems once they hit their 30's. Kool Tournments for the young kids that should be focusing on school not an scholarship for League of kids. The educational background has went downhill ever since I drop out of highschool, but eventually went back to completed.

The younger generation are sucked into the sedentary lifestyle which includes (M&F)apple products, (M)Fortnite, & other games(F)Instagram, (F)snapchat etc.

Is your jungle autofilled? Yes --> lose game, No --> good chance to win

Is the enemy autofilled? Yes --> good chance to win game, No --> very high chance to lose game

Is your jungler a scaling champion? Yes --> lose game No --> good chance to win game

Is your jungler an early gank champion? Yes --> Good chance to win game No --> lose game

Do other roles really matter at all? Yes --> No, No --> Correct

All I know is that most games I play are very one-sided (one way or the other) and are typically decided before 20 mins and then you have to wait for that certain outcome to play out - Neither winning nor losing is as fun anymore.

I also know that in 15 mins, I typically kill or get killed in about 2 seconds, which is also not fun.

Finally, I know that it sucks playing Champions that require skill, strategy and patience, such as Enchanter Supports, because the out-of-control burst damage overides that playstyle in normal/average Elo. Sadly, those are the champions I prefer playing.

THIS ONE SIDED BS has to Freaken STOP. This season its worse than ever. IT HAS NOTHING to do with younger gen... and everything to do with Riot's Crappy Matching system that MUST be fixed. This game is really becoming total crap.

I swear that since Morelo left, the balancing team has gone full ape mode on us and yeah yeah for some Morelo was not a good gameplay designer but i 10 times prefer his "we can not allow a champion to leave stealth and 1 shot everything and just go stealth again (that is why they kept evelynn in the gutter before her rework" than "assassins are ninjas and ninjas come out of the shadows and assassinate and then go back in them! Isn't that cool?!"

I'm 20. My first 18 years of life were stuck being held up inside of a small room, unable to leave, or my mother would call the cops on me to force me back inside against my will. Probably because I was autistic. When I hit 18, my Grandfather had offered to let me stay with them and go to the college here, after I got my G.E.D. I did so in two days flat. I was granted scholarships & grants right out of the gate, in part due to my I.Q score (167) and how quickly I had acquired my G.E.D with no formal schooling of any kind.

I have had the misfortune of seeing exactly what you're describing despite being part of that younger generation. The thing is, though, I often see people like you making a similar mistake: you blame us. You don't blame the predatory companies that design things explicitly so that they appeal to the younger generation (LoL and how it has changed is a wonderful example of that) and you don't stop to think about what you could have done better to help us all out, nor what you could have taught us to help prevent this -- you lay the blame at our feet & are done with it. You call the kettle black.

Truth is, if you believe in psychology then you should understand that Riot, other corporations, other companies, etc. have people in their ranks dedicated entirely to analysis of the human psychology & how best they can abuse it. Those people target you just as much as they target any of us 'young'uns', but they do it in a different way: they rely on the divide created because people can't accept that some things are human nature and that it's up to everyone - not just one single individual - to surpass those human flaws. It's an issue with physiology, and how humans came to exist through centuries of tooth & nail survival.

The default state of all humans... is ignorance. Why do you hold it against them?

167? That's interesting. You're 7 points above the man who came up with general relativity .

Mine would be 115 , but I dont really believe in IQ. I dont think something as complex as a human brain and conciousness itself could be represented by a single number . From what I've read scientists dont exactly understand conciousness either .

Then again einstein did just that, quantified the nature of energy and mass with his famous e=mc^2 equation . So what the fuckk do I know . Sometimes I have bright moments and half the time I'm a complete idiot .

It would be genuinely interesting to read a reply from a genius. Always been fascinated with such topics and have a copy of relativity at home , though I cant understand his maths past calculus .

It's been like this for a while and it's not going to change. That's why I'm getting out. The game is no longer fun, and despite my vague masochism I really don't feel like spending time on a game that I don't enjoy.

Just depends on your ranking. Gold and Below yea.. you can usually see if a game is over by 15

Either lack of team work Some ones out of control raging. Some one is new Some one is experimenting with a champ Some bought a account and is now learning some one didn't want a position and is now trolling

you wanna see lopsided check this out (I won't blur the ones that did well, my only ally that did well was also the only other one that was gold last season)

Bot lane wouldn't even collapse on a free first blood elise in the back of my jg alone at lvl 2 lol, nevermind the rest of the stats, this game was only going to end one way.

Apparently Azir and I did something to piss off Riot. I mean his Azir stats aren't looking great, but he played it fine.

The start of this season... and the FF ASAP crowd is back! Seeing phrases like "come on" and "move on".

I suppose that I should've guessed it would be like this based on the last few weeks of Pre-Season - I started to get a lot more players doing strange things in my games. And more skill differential between players as well. It really felt like players weren't taking the game as seriously.

But, you know, I can't do anything about these FF ASAP players really. They gonna queue up to call for surrender because that's WTF they do.

So... just have to brush off the 1v9 skills and figure out how to carry out of this season's set of lame attitudes.

Is there a surrender vote on my screen? Sorry guys, I don't see it. I'm doing Lee Sin Cosplay this week. Deal with it.

You can still win unless a solo laner is hyper fed because solo lanes are WAY TO OP right now!!!

The games really have felt more and more lopsided lately, I pretty much only play ARAM and the comps the enemy team gets is instant win against mine, like riot "randomly" counter picks the matchups.
