Pretty sure the only people that actually enjoy this game anymore are people that mindlessly abuse the Meta and nothing else, and the ones too stupid to even notice the fact that what their doing isn't fulfilling at all.
SKHynix5 votesIm playing this game because im close to diamond, fuck this shit ass game and matchmaking, cant enjoy this game because of shit feeding teammates and broken meta champ that literally 1v9. Fuck new runes, fuck elemental drakes, fuck plants, fuck overloaded reworks and new champs, fuck RNG, and fuck this boring RNG jungle. I swear god Riot balance team are fucking clueless idiots that dont play this game.
BringYourBest2 votesRiot really are good for nothing at this point, all they worry about it their precious Esports and making the entirety of the game and its 150 champs revolve around it.
It's not a fun experience when you aren't part of the meta.

They certainly know but they probably won't say it because it'd make it easier to abuse and circumvent the system. (Like Riot not releasing MMR algorithms)
3TWarrior1 votesfor one, even using multiple accounts, the user's IP address is still the same unless they have a way to change it
routers for instance can have up to 1000 IP addresses or so (usually only 100) , but they would all be in sequential order
so it would end up like xxx.xxx.xx.001 - xxx.xxx.xx.999
Reixis1 votesIt makes me nervous when game devs begin locking and deleting content without being open about what theyre doing and why.
"suspicious voting patterns" could mean anything at all.

Kairoptra1 votesProof?
SuffocateMeDaddy1 voteswhere is the proof of suspicious voting patern?
Kairoptra1 votesI would think that a moderator would be more trustworthy than the average Boards-goer since their job is to detect this kind of thing. Besides, that is hardly a defense for the fact that there’s no proof for them trying to silence nay-sayers. Look up “appeal to ignorance”. Additionally, if they actually wanted to silence people calling the game crap, I’d say that they’re doing a poor job of it, judging by the Boards front page.

Nice meme my dude, there have been countless posts locked by mods simply because it didnt fit their agenda. Mods are working for free, what makes you think that they have any actual responsibility towards Riot games? Yeah sure they can loose their mod rights if they keep abusing their power, however its not like they lost anything valuable.
If you actually want to argue that mods are what so ever trust worthy, tell Riot to hire them and pay them actual fucking money.
Kairoptra1 votesYou’re missing the point and getting completely off-topic. YOU STILL DON’T HAVE ANY PROOF THAT THEY CLOSED THIS THREAD TO STOP PEOPLE FROM TALKING BAD ABOUT THE GAME.
SuffocateMeDaddy1 votesAnd they still did not post proof that upvoting pattern was in fact invalid.
Kairoptra1 votesThat doesn’t prove that they’re trying to shut down anybody. It only proves that if they have proof, they don’t want to show it. That fact doesn’t change that you haven’t done a single thing to try to prove that they’re trying to silence critics.
SuffocateMeDaddy1 votesAs long as they dont post the proof I am believing that they only shut it down to censor OP. If there was suspicious activity there is no reason to hide it.
Kairoptra1 votesThere is plenty of reason to hide it; maybe in order to break it down for us, they’d have to expose the inner workings of the Boards security system, which would therefore make it easier to manipulate it.
Anyway, I don’t know why I’m wasting my time trying to justify the mods when you wrote this sentence:
As long as they dont post the proof I am believing that they only shut it down to censor OP.
Allow me to illustrate what you’re essentially saying with that sentence: if a person were to be considered a suspect in a murder due to having recently broken up with victim, you would immediately point the finger at them in spite of having no evidence or in-depth knowledge of their relationship whatsoever.
SuffocateMeDaddy1 votesThere is plenty of reason to hide it; maybe in order to break it down for us, they’d have to expose the inner workings of the Boards security system, which would therefore make it easier to manipulate it.
WHY EXACTLY WOULD THEY BE CONCERNED WITH SHOWING US FUNCTION OF PUBLIC, FUCKING PUBLIC FORUM???? Or are all of you NA players just used to getting spied on, getting your data crunched without any notice, getting censored without even realizing it?
Allow me to illustrate what you’re essentially saying with that sentence: if a person were to be considered a suspect in a murder due to having recently broken up with victim, you would immediately point the finger at them in spite of having no evidence or in-depth knowledge of their relationship whatsoever.
No, in this case it is Mod that points finger at OP and says that he committed murder, mod also holds all the evidence found on the scene and I am merely asking them to release the evidence to PUBLIC FUCKING DOMAIN. You however are defending them on one and only ground. THEY HAVE MORE POWER THAN YOU, THERE FORE THEY ARE RIGHT. You are literally the worst NPC I have met yet.
gabetheguy1 voteswell for starters, there's 9999999999 other shitposts like this everyday on these godforsaken boards. all of them get like 5 upvotes and then die. this did not for some reason.
SuffocateMeDaddy1 votesMaybe people actually agree with the statement? Who would have thought about that tho. Nah any negative post about this addictive game with predatory gameplay mechanics, created by sellout company, with more than thousand documented bugs, must be just a shitpost. Maybe there actually are self aware people that realize that they play the damn game only and only because they invested far too much time and money to just quit. But who fuckin knows. Wait, mods know and they wont show the proof.
gabetheguy1 votesand exactly what sets this apart from the 9999999999 other daily shitposts about the exact same topic that all get downvoted and then die?
Kairoptra1 votesYou see, this is why people like you are asses.
You refuse to give consideration to the thought that maybe people have reasons that are completely understandable. Instead, you choose to insult the intelligence of League players everywhere, rather than taking a second to legitimately sit down and listen to a person's explanation.
Just because you can't think of a reason that you think is good to enjoy the game doesn't mean that someone else can't. I'm not asking you to agree, but show some empathy and appreciate that other people are capable of logical thought.
MuffledGarbage1 votesLeague is an objectively bad game. As bad as Sonic 06
Pika Fox1 votesAs a sonic fan, no. Sonic 06 is objectively bad due to wanting to do too much, and sega rushing the game, to the point where the demo of the game had a more complete engine than the final product.
Comparing a complete game like LoL to Sonic 06 is nothing short of stupid.
MuffledGarbage1 votesLeague is rushing the game to a point where the game is less fun and more of an ongoing project rather than trying to find long-term balance in the game.
Pika Fox1 votesThat is objectively false and you know it. The game is already extremely balanced, you can get to high rank with any champion in pretty much any role.
MuffledGarbage1 votes45-60 minute games being shortened to 20-40 minute games is rushing the game. Riot's balance team has been showing favoritism towards certain champs while ignoring others that need help which WOULD, in-fact, be riot not trying to find long-term balance in the game. The game's less of a finished product when the client uses up** MORE resources than the GAME THE CLIENT SUPPORTS!!!!**
Pika Fox1 votesTheres over 140 champions in the game, and literally every single one of them are viable. Hell, the champions people think are OP, such as irelia, kaisa and akali all have no more than 51% wr and arent even remotely OP.

Theres over 140 champions in the game, and literally every single one of them are viable. Hell, the champions people think are OP, such as irelia, kaisa and akali all have no more than 51% wr and arent even remotely OP.
winrates alone have NEVER been proof of a character being balanced
winrates+playrates ARE proof of a character's balance
according to champion.gg:
akali top has a 47.15% winrate alongside a 1.55% playrate. akali mid with 45.07% winrate with 3.02% playrate. That data suggests that akali is an unfavorable pick midlane and not very good in toplane.
Let's take a good look at Akali's kit and why it might make her overpowered while still having a low winrate:
Akali uses energy. This means she can ALWAYS stay in lane for longer than enemies who use mana as long as she keeps her health up. This means if Akali has some way to escape enemies who use mana and if Akali has some way to FORCE enemies to use mana, that she will be able to win lane most of the time.
Akali's passive rewards her for short trades and long trades with enemies. The only way Akali can't benefit from her passive is if she is CC'd but that is a weakness that can be overcome with her E, effectively making the weakness nonexistent.
Akali's Q gives her free poke, a free heal at pretty much max energy, and allows her to instantly activate her passive if she learns the correct distance from an enemy champion. The free heal will only realistically happen once every couple of minutes but the free poke and free passive activation are commonplace and are not hard to pull off. The free poke and free passive activation make Akali's Q a low-risk high-reward ability that's only downside is the somewhat large energy cost.
Akali's W is the world's most free escape tool ever created while also being an insane chase tool since it lets Akali towerdive with no risk whatsoever. The move even RESTORES energy, making it an offensive tool that can be used in any offensive situation with no downside WHILE ALSO making the move a defensive tool that can be used in 99% of defensive situations. A move that is useful at all times is overpowered. The only "wrong" time to use this move is when there are no enemies around, a situation that no human with a brain would do.
Akali's E lets her jump over walls, dash towards any enemy that is hit by the shuriken, activates her passive for free, AND has an extremely low energy cost. All upsides with the only downside being the earlygame cooldown is a massive 16 seconds. The downside of the move... is only active after using it... and it's an inherent downside to the way the game is made.
Akali's ultimate is the most tame part about her considering that it's a 2 part dash with an inherent 2.5 second cooldown after the first dash. The first dash just has too much base damage and the second dash's minimum magic damage is too high. Other than that the move is normal for an ultimate.
All of that combined is what makes Akali overpowered. Akali's weaknesses are all earlygame and all negligible because she can easily deal with her weaknesses.
"she's squishy" Taking Bone Plating + Second wind rune makes her tanky enough to farm, poke, and act as if she was in her midgame already.
"If she messes up then she dies" making a champion's counterplay into 'if you mess up you die' means that the counterplay is on the USER of the champion and not whoever is fighting the champion. Akali's weaknesses all rely on HER messing up instead of her OPPONENT being smart and acting tactfully.
"She's weak against CC" What champion is strong against CC? There is no champion in league that is upgraded/better when they are CC'd by an enemy champion.
Kai'Sa and Irelia both have all of these problems that Akali has. Their weaknesses can be covered if the player knows what they are doing.
That's the problem with Akali, Irelia, and Kai'Sa.
Pika Fox1 votesYou just gave proof that akali is not even remotely over powered.... then tried to claim she was, because she has a kit. I guess Teemo is OP too, he has 4 abilities and a passive, just like akali.
And no, they cant "cover their weaknesses". Akalis weakness is her burst is severely delayed compared to other assassins, and her W is her threat area that doesnt move, and she lacks any ability to get people to stay there. Akali can only access her burst early by landing her E, or prepping R1 before engaging. Even then, just 1 of these wont get you a kill. (and hell, her E is blocked by her W)
MuffledGarbage1 votesI should have organized what I was saying better. Let's break Akali down into pros and cons.
and -
is for pros and - is for cons.
The more + the better a move. Champ with the larger number of + is better.
Akali: usable resource:
passive:
Q:
W:
E:
R:
Akali ends up with 17 pros(+) and 4 cons(-).
This is obviously more pros than cons (as most champs should be) but when a character's cons can be played around such as Akali's Q using a lot of energy. Akali Players could get around that by just waiting since they have all the time in the world. She hits harder than most toplaners do at early levels and outscales pretty much all fighters except jax, fiora,etc. ; The melee ADCs in the toplane.
Teemo ends up having less Pros and more Cons. Most other toplaners end up having way more cons, hell MAGES AND OTHER ASSASSINS end up with more cons than Akali does.
She needs to be tuned down. Nerfing her Q cooldown by 1.5 seconds per rank until final rank and her W cooldown raised by 2.5 seconds per rank
Pika Fox1 votesThis isnt even remotely true given almost all of her benefits are gated behind something.
Shroud is her biggest boon, but she gets it because shes an assassin who has literally all of her burst delayed. It is also a drawback, as it cannot move when placed. Her threat area is that area, and only that area.
Her healing requires her to forgo using her abilities, which means she isnt harassing or shoving the wave or anything, just healing.
Her Q has a LOT of risk, given its short range.
Her E is extremely hard to hit, is blocked by everything, and is even blocked by her own shroud.
Her R has a high ass CD, but also does little damage on R1. R2 is all the burst from it, which takes multiple seconds after pressing R1.
Your post is just simply biased.
MuffledGarbage1 votesQ's short range doesn't matter in toplane since she'll beat her laner WITH it and then outscale them.
her E being hard to hit doesn't matter since she doesn't have mana and can simply spam it for the entire game and BOOHOO you have to wait a bit for energy and cooldowns. There's no champion that doesn't have cooldowns for moves. There are harder to hit moves in the game that give less reward.
Akali's R1 has 85 + 50% bonus AD damage and R2 has 85 +30% AP damage PLUS up to 200% enemy missing health as damage. The move's earlygame cooldown barely matters considering Akali doesn't need it often. The 0.5 seconds of stuntime is also something Akali has that no other assassin does, reliable CC.
Akali's R1 could stun 5 enemy teammates, an entire team. Sure it's only 0.5 seconds but an Assassin with AOE CC is insane.
Akali's kit is more bang for it's buck than any other league of legends kit.
Name a kit that has as much power as Akali's kit and explain how it has as much power. I'll wait.
Pika Fox1 votesLiterally every other assassin can kill you faster than akali ever can. Again, youre being extremely biased in your statements and forgetting all her boons are gated and tradeoffs, especially her burst which is back loaded.
Kairoptra1 votesAt least you can actually play League with a decent internet connection.
Besides, that statement you just made is completely self-contradictory for one simple reason: it’s an opinion.
I could go on about all the things I love about League, but you could dismiss each of them as “not enough”. On the flip-side, you could tell me all the things that you hate about it and I could tell you none of them bother me.
Think of it like hip-hop music; some people can’t stand it while others practically live and breathe it. There’s nothing wrong with either of them for having the taste in music that they do, because that’s all it is: taste.
There’s nothing wrong with liking League, nor is there anything wrong with not liking League. Stating anything otherwise insults the intelligence of players everywhere, regardless of opinion, by implying that they are completely unable of the sound logic and reasoning that would allow them to form opinions of their own that differs from yours.
MuffledGarbage1 votesAt least you can actually play League with a decent internet connection.
That is in no way related to league being objectively bad or objectively good

Second statement is an opinion. First was a fact.

Projection of what you think I could say does not mean I said anything. That means you THINK I said something.
You are assuming way more about me than I have of anyone.

League can be broken down into being made objectively bad by Riot. It's simple really.
People can like bad things. There are people who like toast sandwiches. There are people who want to kill for no other reason than they want to. One is harmlessly bad and the other is an entire different world

Stating anything otherwise insults the intelligence of players everywhere, regardless of opinion, by implying that they are completely unable of the sound logic and reasoning that would allow them to form opinions of their own that differs from yours.
There's a LOT wrong with league. Riot has shown to only push certain champs that THEY WANT into the meta(Kog'Maw buffs RIGHT after nerfs, singed hotfix, Thresh hotfix where they gave him buffs, The existence of Kai'Sa not getting any real nerfs after she was hofixed to be overpowered, Lee Sin buffs coming in randomly around worlds and not taken away until the middle of the next season, The existence of letting Hail of Blades Jhin run rampant for 5 WEEKS before bugfixing that interaction so it's SLIGHTLY more balanced, The lack of Zed or lethality nerfs, Lucian's buff last patch which made him WAY overbearing.)
Riot has shown a lot of things that they do which make league bad, denying this is saying that you are unable to make sound decisions based on objective facts such as Riot showing favoritism for certain champs in order to keep them meta. That would only show that you ARE, in fact, unable to make sound decisions and unable to clearly tell if league is a bad game or not in an objective manner.

Modl Ryden l1 votesI will say I legitimately hate the matchmaking in this game. Its sucks so hard being in Gold. Because of the mentality of "Oh I just want to get my season rewards" players will just play up to Gold and completely flatline. Then it becomes sucha huge gamble of whether or not the players you're queued with are Silver I MMR or Platinum V MMR. It's all over the fucking place and I hate it.
Like it sucks so hard to know I can pull off consistent S performance only to be shat on by teammates that have very little consistency in their play. Junglers don't tame their jungle from enemy invades, support doesn't swap out to sweeper after obtaining ward item or shortly before, top laners never taking teleport, supports never zoning, like the supports I come accross. God damn, like they have the mindset of "Oh I'll just shield my bot laner and have him do all the work as I get carried to Platinum." Like, uh, no? Fuck off it doesn't work that way.
