Can someone please explain why league of legends is like this right now?

go vs a maokai and they have a khazix jungle who just dives me over and over before 10 minutes.

im playing riven and i play as passive as possible begging for diana to come and kill themaokai who has no flash or hp whatsoever.

im BEGGING her to come. all she does is farm camps and watch as i die to the dives and then tells me im bad and that im the one that fucked the team over.

my bot lane?

0-11 in a 2v2 and continued to die afterwards .

my support? 4-10 as veigar who was 1v5ing with only a zhonyas as his ap item.

my jhin? 3-8 continuously gets caught and dies to a maokai khazix.

why is league like this?

why do i not get to be a part of the game just because their jungler actually ganked and mine didnt?

she didnt even show her face once.

so why do i pay for my junglers mistakes?

these games are so common now.

their jungler >my jungler most of the time and its just unfair for everyone else.

their maokai? 3-3 who did nothing but press w and still got rewarded for it because he had a jungler on his team.

my diana? taking a t2 top tower as they come for our bot inhib with half hp and we almsot 4v5ed and won but no jungler or bot.

the ironic thing? i still got exhausted every fight because regardless of me getting camped i knew how to farm and get levels unlike my bot lane with 0 brain cells to count

so where is the fun in this? where is my reward for getting dove 50 times and still coming out with most cs and pressure?

Masteries. The introduction of Thunderlord's Decree has thrown the balance of many champions off, Making the game focus heavily on bursting champions and snowballing.

start of a new season, riot was against pushing all the boosted bonobos who made it to gold where they dont belong with dynamic boost back down to bronze where they belong.

so instead they settled on just putting everyone into silver, calling it a day and promising to not touch the queue again without a 50ft pole.

where riot should have been much much harsher with placements.

basically you have "gold players" with 25% win rates and 70 games already struggling to fall out, but wont leave g5 yet until their MMR dips into the bronze region where they belong.

leaving silver as an all inclusive crap storm for plat+ players to climb at their leisure picking OP meta champs and just pubstomping on noobs.


case in point, i have an 1800~1900 normals MMR, that never got reset, i've shown that over the years i've played.

however in ranked im getting stuck with the absolute worst of the worst, or im destroying the worst of the worst. playing in ~ 1250. its never a fair game, its strictly won/loss on matchmaking at this point. the only correction for this is to keep playing and eventually the bad players will work themselves to the bottom.

this was a plat elo game.

these were plat elo players.

i had a plat 3 diana main who ONLY plays jungle diana jsut to afk farm and hope her team carries.

why is this player even climbing?

shes such a useless player and just climbs eventually by spamming 300 games.

matchmaking and champ selections, your team picked late game scalers, right off the bat thats your mistake, you need to play and be strong in levels 3~13 right now to be relevant.

(not the riven part, you should be able to 1v1 the mao) and diana cant do jack till 6 except take maos flash. but shes often out of mana.

thats usually how it goes, yup. and you're left going "wtf omg all you had to do was ____ " or my fav "vayne get your butt out of bot lane they're coming for you." (dies alone)

it all boils down to she thinks differently than you do or has a different idea of what needs to happen. thats fine.

the issue is she didn't communicate that with you. she wants to play passive farm and not take whats free, thats somewhat wrong (passing up on free) but she doesn't see it as free.

Well, if I was the enemy I will make sure a riven loses to a maokai and be garbage all game. If I were the diana, I would leave a losing riven who cant win against a maokai and try to focus on other lanes.

Except not only was I winning lane but my Diana chose to farm for 15 minutes and not show up to a single lane before that. If I were you I would stay an awful jungler only thinking about myself and then complaining when my team loses me the game because some of them had to sit under tower and get dove fifty times while I watched
