League is in it's saddest state ever.

I am really disappointed in league of legends this season. It is the season of snowballing and it is the most terrible feeling. If any lane on my team starts to snowball they run rampant and carry the game leaving me no room to feel impactful. If I am winning lane I don't feel challenged because of a huge lead generated in 10 minutes. If the enemy has a lane winning they snowball out of control. A simpleton with a basic understanding of roaming can just get every other lane to snowball. Turrets have little to no impact on the game now beyond feeding the snowballing so that the entire team benefits ridiculously from one lane. I see laners constantly diving their enemy under turret before the 10 minute mark and take multiple turret shots with almost no effect. Support was always a thankless role but now it feel absolutely awful because gold differences and level differences have become insane! A support will often be 3-6 levels lower and 2-3 items behind making even their CC useless because they die so easily (unless you are Alistar). Team Builder is gone so it is a lot harder to play specific champions and try new things. Pre-mades are dominating in ranked punishing anyone who plays solo. Hell, even the LCS has become shit with a complete lack of diversity and focus on snowballing. Sure there are exceptions (there always are) but the state of a basic game is just appalling at this time.

League of Legends is in it's worst state ever! It needs to be fixed. This game isn't really fun anymore.

My last few games has been toxic troll city. I'm actually done now.

I haven't had too many trolls but I certainly see surrenders at 20 almost every game now. I was placed in gold 2 this season though and last season gold 4 - plat 3 seemed to be very troll free. It was like the sweet spot of LOL camaraderie and sportsmanship.

I see stomps so much more. 3-1 team KD ratios and 2-1 so much more than before.

I do as well. I ended last season in mid plat rank. I was steadily rising in the ranks too. This was me as a support main. This season one lane needs to win and that often leads to a win for the game. Going even doesn't seem to work anymore unless you are very lucky and all lanes go even.

I see a lot of downvotes, I'm curious to those downvoting. How do you feel about the state of LOL? What champions are you playing? What role to you play? I main support and perhaps that is why I feel so terrible about this season. I feel like I lack any control what so ever and no role should feel like that.
