Why is the game dying? Because it doesn't matter how good YOU are; the WORST player on team matters.

This season, it doesn't matter how hard you shit on your laner and how big you can push that advantage. If you don't spoonfeed that top AND bot lane from your spot in midlane, then you will lose the game. Can't tell you how many times I have punished a mid laner into complete uselessness, but at the 15 minute mark I have a 0-10 (or worse) bot lane AND/OR top lane who ruins the game.

In the event you get people that go even, then your teammates refuse to listen to pings and/or calls and they fight when they shouldn't and won't fight when they should and throw the game. This game blows.

Where is your proof that the game is dying? Riot hasn't publicized any statistics about their playerbase since 2014.

Yep, ive been in B4 , 4 times this season , in promo's for B3 2xs and i cant stay there, because no matter what I do i get

Full DPS tanks, who then get melted
DPS supports who refuse to ward.
Vayne mids
just had 3 Fiora's in a row feed teemo, 3 games in a row...its like groundhogs day.
full DPS teams, that get melted.

can't carry 4 people. Do i have some bad games, yeah, but if i got a bad score its because 90% someone else fed their lane to something you cant kill.

Try snowballing another lane? Take your mid lane advantage and shove in. From there you roam to another lane, get deep vision, notify your team of whats going on, and actually carry.

The common misconception now is that you cannot solo carry; this is false. You can solo carry, you just can't be a brain-dead scum fuck who goes around face-mashing his keyboard and win. You actually just have to be semi-intelligent.

The game is dying because Riot goes out of their way to kill anything that remotely supports creativity. They enforce the meta and only allow certain (and often popular) champions to remain strong. Also, barely any other playable maps aside from SR.

Stagnation is death.

Honestly, the sad truth is that **you ** aren't in a good head-space to climb and get ahead. This isn't a dig at you specifically, this is something that happens to everyone.

You need to spend the time to build up that mechanical skill and learn from good sources when it comes to game knowledge. By the sounds of it, it seems like you get tilted easily. No matter what happens, the only person you should be worrying about is yourself. If you're getting tilted off the face of the earth or rage typing in chat about how X teammate messed up; you need to cut that shit out immediately and focus on yourself and what you could do to get ahead.

Also, social skills play a large factor in climbing and getting people to do what you want. Spam pinging your jungle is less effective than writing out a quick message and request-help pinging them once.

I don't think the game is actually dieing. Proof?

EDIT: Stats prove that league is not dieing.

"Dying" lol. Just because it's not always the top spot on twitch doesn't mean it's dying.

If you're shitting on your midlaner, then roam. Whenever you kill the enemy midlaner, roam to bot or top or help the jungler with dragon or herald. ROAMROAMROAM

Well I understand what you are talking about but your example is terrible. If 2 enemies lanes win easy thir lanes and in your team just you are fed, the correct thing is to be smashed and lose.

The game will not be better becasuse 1 guy can carry against 3 guys fed.

You need to know how to adjust to your weakest link, the way a pack of wolves matches the pace of its slowest member. In the same way three wolves struggle to bring down a moose when they run ahead of two packmates, a team of three or four will struggle if it's playing out in front of its fifth member.

That said, you're absolutely right. This game blows.

Game dying? LMFAO. Why is is every time another game picks up steam (Fortnite)that means this game is dying. Get ahold of yourselves. Fortnite will die out just as much as pubg did. League will remain. My queue times are as fast as ever, if not faster.

Thread number 9 million and counting saying League is dying because I'm having bad games so therefore game is dying. some popular people are disliking/quitting the game it must be because the game is dying and not because there's other things out there they want to try. Those popular streamers obviously represent the majority of the tens of millions (last count was 11-15 million daily with over 100 million accounts. including at least 40 million individual accounts.) Twitch showed more watching League than Overwatch so therefore League is dying.

The last Worlds was the biggest yet and the game must be dying because it's doing so well so obviously Riot which is ihring lots all the time must be on the verge of shutting down. There's currently 191 or so open job positions at riot they're hiring for now. That obviously means they're shutting down because the game is dying.

The op's is like every other one just like it. Facts made up with insults to anyone that questions his facts and wants proof of his claims.
