Just... It's finally too much! EVERY GAME for the past 8 days has been a one sided STOMP! Win or lose!

It's NOT fun, It's NOT innovative, I DON'T feel like I'm out playing or being out played, I CERTAINLY don't feel like giving Riot any money!

EVERY game has been INSANLY one sided, usually decided by whos trolling what team, Or which side has the smurf going legendary with no deaths at 12 mins!

I started playing LoL 3 years ago and right now? It is NOT fun, It is NOT addictive. I'm done till next patch! STOP ignoring the big problems in the core game to focus on ugggg.. "E-SPORTS" and buffing you internal favorites who have been out of the meta for 2 weeks!

You just lost 3 of your most famous streamers! And I'm starting to feel the same way! FIX YOUR GAME MAKING!

I agree, please fix it I’m getting match with teammates who can’t even win lane and I win it mostly, then they barely know how to win the game. And the enemy team works super cooperative everytime, the games are all one sided

I just started playing league after weeks/months of barely playing. Been having some fun currently and am taking the game alot less seriously(although i have been playing norms).

I have been playing(on and off) for 7 years and have been coming to these boards and the classic GD fairly frequently as i was playing. These posts are not uncommon... I have seen ALOT of them over the years.

edit: Also you should expect streamers to eventually get burnt out of a game. League streamers tend to play ALOT of league... more than your average person.

I have to agree with this, I'm certainly no Faker or League know it all, but I get grouped with players who just don't understand core basics of the game. They will engage a 3v1 fight when they are already 1 or 2 levels down.. it just doesn't make sense. The delta between skill level is just too much.

I think at it's core, the MR/Ladder system that Riot has created is fundamentally broken. I have never felt this way in other ranked/ladder based systems in other games. You get punished harshly in this game even when you are doing everything right. I just don't think Riot's system to determine skill level and where you should be in ranked is working very well.

To add to this, making us play 10 promo games at the beginning makes no sense and is a waste of time. Completely changing the game every season makes no sense at all... no game does this. No game in the world completely changes and redesigns there game every 10 months. I just don't understand the decisions they are making.

This was presented in the same way as those "can i speak to your manager?" people.

the system punishes you for winning too much and gives you trash players to force a lose streak and force your win rate to 50 percent. the system is designed with casual players in mind, coz riot wants their loyal veterans to carry the trash (casuals) who would be below 30 percent win rate if it was fair.

This got more attention then I expected. Thanks all!

Admittedly I typed this after getting really ticked off from two INSAILY one sided ranked losses in a row. One with a Malphite "support" who took summoner 11 , rushed CinderHulk, (Which was his ONLY Item at games end) And robbed the jungle camps early. Effectivly putting Three people on my team behind right from the start!

The other, I can't blame my team.... MY team. Our opponents consisted of a Tristana who was 8/0/3 with double our ADC's farm by 12 mins. She had a Thresh support, an Amumu Jg, And a Xerath Mid that had teamed up to kill our bot lane, under their own tower 3 TIMES by this point! Including OUR jg buy the third time. Xerith had TP'ed down from fountain to Ult them... at this point in the current state of the game? we had NO chance anymore! Why did a Pick-up team have THIS level Off co-ordination in a Bronze, solo - que game VS. A team that spent the pre minion phase typing nonsense memes in the chat?

This was just yesterday, When I stopped for a second to think about it... ALL off my games in the past week, ranked or norms, win or lose had been similar!

I regularly check the PBE to see what's being done to remedy the state of the game... And what do I see?

They're looking to MASSIVLY buff Gragas tankiness when he builds full AP!!!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIOT!!!?

Gragas, One of THE MOST picked champions in pro play history, With one of the best team fight kits, is out of the meta for a month and you look to Change him in a way that he will do big AOE dmg while having built in dmg reduction bassed off this Damage!?? This ONE change... It just represents EVERYTHING thay are doing wrong!

Gragas is a fine , mostly balanced champ right now, You've always had to choose between his Damage or Tankiness, and you look to make him a snowballing, sink or swim, CC carry by giving him BOTH!!? However, If He DOES go full AP but falls behind early, He will be near useless! That's what your spending time on? Making the game EVEN MORE Reliant on the first 10 mins of play!?

I have less faith in the balance team then ever... I know I'm not alone in feeling this way, But It just may take a MASSIVE amount of players taking some time off, lowering their RP sales for them to finally listen!

Thanks for your time.

Mostly some scaling champs are overtuned - equal in power with early game champs in early game and massively outscale. That's one problem. When anyone new becomes oppressive in early game - such a leona awhile back this season - they get nerfed into the ground. But you get a scaling champ - such as taric - doing NEARLY as well in lane an massively outscaling, and nobody complains about that, nobody nerfs that. So after the nerf to the early game snowball champ - because they're doing their job and being a bully early and winning WHEN they play properly and their opponents don't respect it and play safe - the scaling champ ends up equal to or stronger than the early game champ in lane and... still massively outscales. That's pretty cool.

Teammates can ignore 4 pings telling them not to engage a fight, die 1v1 to your laner, then call you a coward, piece of shit, loser, fucking noob. They can spend the rest of game intentionally ignoring you (either to help or to grab easy kills that you can't quite get on your own 1v2) and get teammates to all harass you. They can die diving in 1v5 or forcing 4v5 or 3v5 for no reason and you know what? It's all you're fault because you didn't tp to save them. You're a selfish trash teammate for wanting to get some side lane pressure before rotating to defend a tower. But when you group... they'll go to side lane and do exactly what they flamed you for... only they don't have tp or ult to immediately join team like you did... making it far worse for them to split. When you've asked them to stop fighting because they're 0/3/0 and can't win the 1v1 or 2v2 and they aren't getting jg help or lose despite it... you're a toxic asshole. When you ask team to ward and ping to show you've placed all your wards... you're an asshole. When you make a good shotcall and clearly explain why, they understand but respond basically with "fuck that" "this isn't challenger" (I don't have to listen to you)... while basically admitting it's the most logical and best call. Even when they're winning, they play poorly. No objective focus, no teamwork, no towers... just see hero, kill hero... whether they actually succeed or not. That of course works especially great when your bot lane is combined 0/7/0 at 8 minutes. But hey, at least your opponents do the sa.... nope. Your opponents who can't win lane play smart. They only go agro when they've got backup. They give their team a CHANCE to win the game. A chance to get your opponent back to relevance or even a lead on you. They use teamwork... and not the kind that's just 5 people blindly mobbing anything they see move and probably taking a terrible engage and dying to the same bad play for the 5th time. But no matter how many afk, how many intentional feeders, how many people flame you, how many ignore the obvious good play to repeat one they KNOW will fail from the last 8x it's failed... you can't say anything back to them.

It's like that meme with the dog in the house that's burning down and he just sits there smiling and says "everything's fine here". Just pretend everything's okay as you lose half the games you could easily win if teammates showed any level of coordination and mental fortitude like the other team does. Just pretend you're fine with teammates never counter-ganking for you and camping for a feeding lane and getting nothing done as your whole team slowly loses the game... falling further and further behind in every role. Just pretend it's cool when team forces a 3v5 and then goes all toxic on you for not being there when you clearly couldn't win even if it were 5v5 and they didn't give you anything to tp to to join them anyways. Just pretend it's cool when nothing is done about these intentional feeders who lack even the most basic bronze 5 level intelligence in regards to what fights to take... while you're more than a full tier above bronze 5. That it's totally cool not a single one of these toxic AND/or intentional feeding teammates gets punished (not even a warning) while you say anything back to them and you're insta-punished cuz... multiple reports, flagged word as opposed to clearly implied or bad words NOT on ifs list, etc.

I'll throw my two cents in, something has definitely busted on the matchmaking end.

In my experience, matchmaking has been relatively fine UNTIL promos. That's where I'm catching enemy teams having a FAR HIGHER MMR over my own team, in some cases surpassing 200-300 MMR leads.

Obviously these are averages, which means an individuals could have an even higher difference in MMR. In any case, it results in (usually the bot lane) getting absolutely stomped and I have no agency whatsoever. Doesn't matter how good you play from there, the 25+/3 ADC is rightclick annihilating your team.

The matchmaking is fine when I look at your match history. Everyone is very close to the same rank. Matchmaking is not the symptom of one-sided games in your case.
