"Fair"

Niyumi··2 votes·343 views

That's when Cait right clicks on you from across the map and two shots you while healing for 3-500 an auto.

That's when Susan builds literally full tank and still two shots you.

That's when automatically-aimed, unmissable, resourceless attacks that automatically fire off more than twice a second at long range do the ABSOLUTE MOST DAMAGE IN THE GAME.

That's when Xin / Yi / Kha / etc click on you and just erase you.

That's when you have 500 armor, but any AD champ can just act as if you have 80, and melt you.

That's when the strongest champs are the easiest.

That's when it's "toxic" for mages to heal up if they get caught out of position, but totally healthy for ADCs to do the same but 15x more effectively.

That's when so many champs like Veigar, Syndra, Annie, etc. can just click on you and instantly win with no counterplay or anything.

That's when you buff absurdly broken champs just because they have an ultimate skin.

... yeah. Fair is the word I'd use to describe this game.

Syndra ....... each ball counts as an individual spell so you can only spell shield 1 ball. https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/64138/3.0

Tell me how I can dodge an auto, or how I can avoid Veigar's ult, or how I can make Win Nhao / Yi / any melee ADC not two shot me by right clicking, or how I can make Susan miss his W. There is no counterplay to AA spam or targeted abilities. As far as ADCs go (and melee ADCs), you just either one shot them, CC them until they die, or lose.

All your threads are just whiny QQ about how much you hate the game, just get over it and uninstall already. It will be a net benefit both to you and to the community.

If any other game were enjoyable, trust me, I would. But, no. You and the rest of the shitty gimme generation killed off console gaming, pulled every MMO down to next-level braindead status, and even made NIntendo a bad company.

If I had another game I could play that lasts more than a few days, I wouldn't even touch League.

So true. MMO's used to be so fun :/

Games with hundreds or thousands of hours of content, high development quality and fair payment models:

Warframe: A skill-based action-TPS with arguably the fairest F2P model in existence. The people whining about grind and p2w are mostly CoD trash; everything is free, and progression is very horizontal.

Final Fantasy XIV: Endgame-centric MMO with an extremely long and good storyline; basically WoW - except it is not bad, outdated and dying

EVE: Self-explanatory.

Overwatch: team-based FPS, something between MOBAs and TF2

Inbound in the near future: Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen: A classic MMO revival, quality remains to be seen Destiny 2: co-op and pvp class-based scifi MMOTPS

Go back in time four years and try playing Firefall before it sold out to a chinese company, turned into a wowclone and died horribly.

Not that you will actually try any of these for over 5 minutes, it looks like your mind is set on being mad.

Tried it, got bored. Very repetitive, and I'm not the biggest fan of shooters. I quit when Mesa came out.

I keep trying it, but the combat is just beyond boring. I love the music, the art, the atmosphere, the crafting, everything... but the combat is just so bad.

EVE: Self-explanatory.

EVE isn't a game. It's a guided cinematic.

Overwatch: team-based FPS, something between MOBAs and TF2

I play Overwatch every now and then. It's fun in short bursts.

650 is not across the map.

That's when Susan builds literally full tank and still two shots you.

Don't let him free farm to that point, or build hp and armor.

That's when automatically-aimed, unmissable, resourceless attacks that automatically fire off more than twice a second at long range do the ABSOLUTE MOST DAMAGE IN THE GAME.

I mean, not really sure what you're referring to here except just Auto Attacks... marksmen are made to be the highest damage dealers in League (as with most MOBAs), because that's always been their intended role -- to carry. Hence why they are usually extremely squishy.

That's when Xin / Yi / Kha / etc click on you and just erase you.

Hard CC, dodging, kiting, etc all work wonderfully against them. Or don't get caught out of position.

That's when you have 500 armor, but any AD champ can just act as if you have 80, and melt you.

I won't argue some items are too strong right now (lookin at you, bork/dd); but again, marksmen are made to melt targets late game. Yes, including tanks. Especially if they have armor pen items and lots of crit. That's why you buy Randuins, HP, and armor and thornmail. I will admit tanks still need some more upgrades to their itemization though.

That's when the strongest champs are the easiest.

If by easy you mean "point and click boom", not really. Most take some level of practice to gain any measurable skill with them. Yasuo for example has a high skill ceiling. So did camille. So does lee, etc. I'd say Fiora is probably the strongest champion right now that takes the least amount of practice to become decent enough with to wreck people, though.

That's when it's "toxic" for mages to heal up if they get caught out of position, but totally healthy for ADCs to do the same but 15x more effectively.

Have you tried to catch a Swain or Morde or Syndra or Ahri or Akali or Kat or LB "out of position"....? Heh....heheh....heheheheh.... Mages are designed to be either high DoT control mages (like Swain) who have a lot of area of effect crowd control and management (like Ori); or they are burst mages meant to deal a lot of burst damage in a short timespan (like pretty much everyone else).

That's when so many champs like Veigar, Syndra, Annie, etc. can just click on you and instantly win with no counterplay or anything.

See above. Counterplay includes: dodging (syndra,annie); HP/MR items (Maw, etc); untargetability (fizz, zhonyas, xayah); item 3026 or item 3102

That's when you buff absurdly broken champs just because they have an ultimate skin.

Mmmm ultimate skins are: Lux, Sona, Udyr, and Ezreal.

None of those have been "buffed", unless you count Udyr receiving like 10 less mana cost per ability, and Lux having lower cooldown on her ult.

... yeah. Fair is the word I'd use to describe this game.

It's definitely not 100% balanced, but it's a sight better than some other games, and a lot better than earlier versions of League.
