Riot you've turned this game into a onesided stompfest every game...whats next cod killstreaks?

Like seriously what have you done with this game. Its become so balanced and centralized on making games faster and more onesided to keep people watching LCS games that it has killed the old feeling of actual competition.

And what i mean by that is games have gone from facing off and standing a fair chance against an opposing team that had the same chance to win as you and games werent decided till team fight stages in which teams could actually stand a chance against one another and use strategy to outplay their opponents. Now its turned into the game being decided in the first 5 minutes with one team suddenly getting a massive lead over the other and then proceeding to dominate not from skill but simply from raw power and item advantage.

Ever single game being onesided is not fun or competitive Riot. If you're on the team that gets the level 5 advantage the enemy team stands no chance after the next 10 minutes and by that 15 minute mark you can pretty much mess around and still ace them since you are so far ahead they stand no chance unless they are Godlike skilled and even then they have lost so many turrets while you have lost none that that one player cant do anything to stop the snowball. Alternatively you can be on the receiving end and get destroyed from one mistake or teamates dying in lane one time, almost instantly losing turrets, and being forced under inhib turrets by 15 minutes not taking a single enemy turret and being unable to contest as the enemy stacks infernal and mountain dragons laughing at how the losing team can do nothing against them.

Honestly Riot, this game used to be very competitive and fun and had a feeling of balance and skill. Now its just whoever gets lucky in the first 5 minutes gets a huge power advantage and most the time an ez gg. Winning is no longer satisfying since the enemy stood no chance.. and being stuck on a lost game is irritating as you are so powerless to do anything but throw pebbles at the enemy's godlike feet as they stomp you into the next existence playing with you like a cat plays with a mouse not finishing you off since you stand no chance and 2 people always refusing to surrender and end the suffering.

Ill wait and see if anything is improved for season 7 but if league doesnt get less onesided soon im afraid it wont be worth the time to play

90% of my games go into teamfight phase if I'm not going assassin (i.e. Nocturne). I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about because if the teams don't have any smurfs on them, the matches tend to stretch due to players being of similar skill.

All I can assume is that your long losing streaks and sudden smash of a win with Wukong made you think the game is always supposed to end through a stompfest. You haven't really been touching ranked games either where people are less willing to lose.

i hate how every match there are 3-4 allies or enemies who belong in wood elo ruin the game for everyone, it doesn't feel like you won when you win the match.

i can't believe guys with 400 wins (aka around 800 games) play like lv.15s

Alright first off, youre unranked sorry to burst your bubble but you won't be placed with super skilled people they're trying to learn the game just like you. Secondly, youre lv 30... relax.. plus you play norms.. like what do you expect? Everyone had bad games, even you. Nid; 1-12. :) be kind

did you drop out of school? i said "there are lv.30s who actually play like they're lv.15" i never said i was level 15 nor did i say they were lv.15.

i'm not trying to learn this game, it's true that i've gotten worse than i originally was because of the toxic players forcing me to uninstall the game, it's a shame that this seems to be the only thing people play

you don't seem to realize it's not that "everyone has bad games" it's either you team up with worse or fight against worse players. i threw that nidalee match because diana let orianna get fed and roam bot lane, and poppy took my lane and forced me to jungle. i purchased wrong items, didn't clear the jungle properly and the enemy team were coordinated unlike ours.

Once, again i never said anything about you being level 15. I just simply said you're level 30, You're unranked, like if people in silver 2 suck like bronze 5, i don't know why you think that you'd get 4 god like people on your team. secondly, fine don't learn, but don't blame someone else for you getting worse. we all have to deal with toxicity. Finally, YES everyone does have a bad game, you specifically said: " i threw that nidalee match because diana let orianna get fed and roam bot lane, and poppy took my lane and forced me to jungle. " YOU threw that match, which means while yes you were having a bad game, you decided to troll and let them get the best of you. thus you had a bad game. sometimes people just are tired, they don't feel good, they're tilted. they have bad games. even pros have bad games. #Faker8LossStreak.

is your post meant to help someone? sounds like load of bullshit.

  1. thank you captain freaking obvious i already know im lv.30
  2. i never said a thing about wanting "godlike people on my team"

i said people play like lv.15 regardless of them being in my team or not, there are 3-4 players in 70% of the games ruining the match because they have been boosted to lv.30

you're naive if you think your wins and losses are decided by "you having a good or bad game" there are good and bad players that decide the match.

whenever i win it's because my opposing lane plays like a lv.15 i'm being serious. if you think winning because of your opponent being bad is you having a GOOD game that's screwed up, it means you didn't win because of your skill, you won because your opponent doesn't belong there.

winning doesn't feel rewarding when you didn't even have to try vs a guy that plays like a bot a.i

the matches years back felt more rewarding because you fought better players since it took longer to reach lv.30 meaning more match experience than the current lv.30s, they just get thrown into people with 300-1200 wins. that's quite unfair for everyone.

this will be my final reply and i will not discuss this further.

if one player gets 25 kills without dying i am in favor of calling in a nuke to end the game.
