Trying to learn this game and get better is nearly impossible/ too frustrating for newer players.
I started playing the game a bit back in about season 6. Back then damage was bad but not to the point of walking in the wrong direction equals instant death. The thing with league and newer players is damage so high and snowballing is so quick that its nearly impossible to learn the basics of the game without looking it up on youtube or other platforms. They walk into the wrong comp bot lane and die instantly, they dont know if its the champion they chose, the champion they didnt ban, their sums, their runes, their items, or their actual core gameplay. They can't focus on micros like csing much less macros because the game goes so fast. I made a smurf to help with my investigation. I encountered new players certainly but not nearly as many in the past where you would have entire games filled with only new players. On average it appears to be about 3 new people and 2 smurfs. Its so fucking easy to snowball out of control but, at the same time some champions just have such strong power spikes that regardless on what happens they hit them and you lose. For example mordekaiser hits 6 with any engager bot lane and they just rape low elo 24/7 regardless of who you play. Im going on a fucking rant because ive loved this game ever since i started playing it but im getting desperate for fixes because the fucking damage is so high that I cant learn a new god damn champion anymore.
