I just don't enjoy the game anymore

I've loved Leagues for a long time I have been spamming games for about 2 years since I got started on it. It never got old to me every game felt fresh and different and exciting. But now every game is stale and usually one sided most games are 20 minute surrenders and many games are over in less then that. This week alone I had a 17 minute win a 15 minute loss and a 18 minute loss. People go afk at the drop of a hat now because they know if they fall behind there is no coming back. I don't really want to quit playing but I just feel like this game is not the same game I fell in love with. I have put in thousands of games and countless hours without a second though. Anyway I I just wanted to hear someones else's take on the game right now compared to in the past.

Honesty this patch is just a complete mess. I'm not even sure what can be done to bring the game back to what it was. Not having fun at all even with friends. The fact that these threads have been popping up everyday for months is a big indication that the past few patches have taken the game in an awkward direction.

I agree. Im not a fan of a lot of the changes riot has made over last season and this preseason. From time to time i think to myself....this game is so screwed up anymore, why do i continue to play it?! But alas.....i love league of legends and probably always will. Maybe one day Riot will take it to far for me and ill actually quit, but til then ill be on the rift.

I've ranted enough about it, but my simple take on it right now is that I'm only ever having fun when I play with friends, and even then, I'm only doing it because they want me to play with them. The preseason is dogshit and season 6 will be awful unless Riot does something intelligent to fix this mess they've created...which judging from their take on how the season is going won't happen. I think I'm going to have to find a new game to play pretty soon.

Take some time off or play with some friends. Try having music on when playing solo. Try to stay away from ranked.

The game is exponentially more frustrating now than it was last year. I feel like everyone does more damage now and dies faster, and that fits in with the dreadful snowballing pace. Every time I die now I get frustrated by some cheap gimmick that always seems to new to this patch or indirectly buffed. Don't get me wrong, I've been calling things OP for 2 years, but I've never felt like this before. I feel like every time I die there's just nothing I can do in the moment to counter it. For instance, playing against Annie, where it's almost impossible for her to not 1 hit a squishy or multiperson stun. Or even worse, playing against a garen or darius, who do the most damage in the game yet have 5k HP and can't be peeled at all. This season just seems like its full of gimmicks that leave me saying "oh come on." or "seriously what am i supposed to do about the 45% CDR fizz that just jumped over my front line and 1 hit me." I used to be able to blame myself for dying or even blame a teammate when they're feeding, but now it's like, well you were against darius or oh were against soraka no wonder vayne has infinite health despite half our team applying greivous wounds.

There are thousands of games besides League. Play something else for a few weeks/months.

Take a break. Wait for season 6 to start. See how things go. Anything op and we will upvote the crap out of your post.
