Thoughts on League before quitting

bekí··3 votes·469 views
  1. Started playing league 3 years ago when all my friends were playing it, enjoying the game all day, game after game, over the time all of them stopped playing it cuz it was too frustrating and not fun for them so i was the only one left playing it and it finally got to me too. Midlane main stuck playing roaming laners so i could win the botlane cuz you cant rely on them, and if they lose is just gg, junglers that just kill PvE for 10 min are stronger then me, feels fair, your jungler goes invading when ur not pushing, losing both mid and jng, I can't even tell him that that is wrong cuz it takes me time to get behind turret and TYPE IT instead of using VOICE CHAT...

I can go on but its just another rant, everyday i see tweets from streamers about quitting league, and Riot still has the attitude "We know exactly what we are doing" even they are so obviously not experienced in balancing a game, it's always the same story, they make a dumb decision and are so stubborn about it even when the whole community is telling them what the right move is they don't do anything for 3 months.

Like why wouldn't you add voice chat to the game when every other multiplayer game has it, and it's so obviously crucial to the game (toxicity, yeah right like other games don't deal with it, just add the mute button and be done with it), death recap can't be fixed for 8 years, making the most unhealthy champ after "learning" how to make a champion for such a long time etc.

I really feel bad for a lot of leagues teams that do an awesome job at champ themes, lore, skins, music and what not when the most important thing in the game is ruined by some stubborn ignorant people.

Alright got this out of my system, kept it as rational as I could, bring the "triggered, get gud" comments

League grew to having over 100 million active players without having any form of voice chat and it worked just fine. So no, it is not crucial at all.

You could make that argument for everything and say league is a perfect game cuz it has so much players, give me a rational argument why it isn't in the game, and wouldn't it be better if it was an option to have voice chat in the game rather then just try to hate on every critic to the game...

Alright.

I don't want to have random squeaky kiddos cry in my ears over every single missplay I make or whatever happens in the game that they don't like. Even if i can mute them, at first I still have to listen to them and it will disrupt my concentration.

There are tons of ways to communicate through pings now to make communication as easy as possible. Putting ressources into developing a voice chat is unnecessary.

No way to have an automated system check for toxic behaviour.

Have an accent that hints to any nationality other than being white (or just be bad at speaking english) or sound female and you will most likely not have fun anymore for the rest of the game if you have bad luck with your team mates. I stopped playing csgo for exactly this reason after being harassed in almost every single game I tried to use the voice chat. Chatting is neutral and even there people are often racist and sometimes sexist, voice chat would make this much worse

People who wouldn't want to use it for whatever reason (beeing too shy to talk, having no money for a good mic etc.) would be at a huge disadvantage if voice chat would be essential for overall communication.

But alright, enough about voice chat, since you quit anyway and it will probably never be implemented for everyone anyway, I don't really care about it for now

Just disable voice chat, and let other people use it...

Except that they are experimenting with Voice Chat already.

They are adding it to the premade party, they said they wont put it in solo q soon, even if they did add it why does it take them 8 years to add something so important to the game

Have you seen all the complaints that the reporting system has had? Imagine how much more difficult it would be for Riot to monitor or check voice records over lines of text.

There we go, a rational answer all I was asking for. Consider what is the reward for that risk, you get much needed communication (i wont make points how much is it needed, think we all understand) and on the downside you get that problem which can be solved by just muting if you don't wanna listen someone rage argue or just implement a simple report system if someone gets reported a lot he gets silenced for some time.
