This season sucks

It's very difficult to climb out of Silver, especially out of top lane. It sucks so much that I had to playing the lane, not because I don't like it, I'd love to be able to play top lane nonstop, but it's so damn frustrating when you have braindead junglers that don't look at the minimap, don't answer pings, don't communicate with the team, don't know how to gank, or anything, but you're playing against a duo so you get camped. Then don't even get me started on bottom lane, which will win or lose you the game unless you become so insanely fed that you can 1v5. Otherwise I'm stuck in lane and it doesn't matter if I feed or stomp, eventually ours or their bottom lane will eventually get around to rotating to the lane to end my laning phase. This 'out of my hands' laning phase equals a 50% WR. I don't even feel good when I win, because the game wasn't even decided by me most of the time.

So, I started playing jungle instead. While this is better and feel I have a larger impact on the game, it still sucks. My teammates will often give up first blood before I can even clear, or I'll get invaded and my team won't rotate, or they won't set up ganks and keep pushing lane, even from behind or when I ping OTW. Riot seems more interested in catering to balance to the tiny fraction players in the LCS and Challenger, leaving shit like Udyr and Brand completely broken for the rest of the players. Seriously, it's S7 Draven all over again, where the game was pretty much over if your bottom lane gave up first blood. it took him MONTHS for him to get justified nerfs just because he didn't exist in the 'pro' meta. Brand is so broken right now because of how the game has been encouraged to be played, with nonstop teamfights where split pushing is impossible because it actually takes game knowledge and a cooperative team, and he builds so much health that even assassins can't burst him by the time the time mid game rolls around, and he carries fights just by pressing one button. Then Riot goes and does shit like buffing Mundo and Garen, they ignore champs like Singed, it's like they want bad players to be able to succeed and feel good about themselves when they actually suck, and it ruins the damn game. These champs aren't fun to play, they aren't fun to play against, they aren't rewarding, and no matter how you phrase it, it won't change that fact.

Maybe Riot will realize they are ruining what was once a fun game and actually admit and fix their mistakes, but sooner or later people will get fed up and leave. Really though, they'll probably be like Blizzard, shutting down fan servers 3 years from now of 'classic' modes of their game, wondering 'why don't people want to play our game anymore?'

Anyways, that's my rant. Maybe I'll go back to playing Fizz and just getting freelo the moment I hit 6 because most idiots won't build defensive starts or take barrier, but w/e. It's just not fun.

This season blows more chunks than a New England clam chowder.

Nice going riot.

You just had to go and "innovate" a new rune system for shits and giggles and the only thing you really did was absolutely destroy your game beyond repair.

Good job.

This game sucks. Don't want to sound cocky or idk (neither nostalgia), but as someone who started at the end of s3, I feel like it's becoming more and more a "casu game" (aka "one shot outplayed reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and no skill involved anymore)

I'm gold 3 and I feel comfortable in top lane again. I had to jungle to get here, but when lanes feed it's usually 0/3 instead of 0/10. #itgetsbetter

This season had a very rough start. But things are way better right now, and will become even better next patch.

For the first time in years, crit is being deeply revised. Overall damage will decrease, since most of it come from mandatory Exponential scalling AD crit champs that are getting a big nerf next patch.

Reworks, which are a huge incentive for player comebacks, are getting accelerated and improved. Damn, did you see the Irelia rework? And Aatrox will be getting his soon too.

The recent bounty changes decreased the overall gold generation, which makes the game less snowbally, and buffs solo carrying situations in a game that is excessively team oriented.

Shields and healing will be revised in a near future too accordingly to Riot.

Currently, this is one of the most exciting seasons for me, even taking into account the rough start.

If I have to be reliant on ONE champion to get to Gold, there definitely is something wrong with the game (or me), the only thing I could play and actually win with is AP Malphite and I got a 92% win rate until I got to Gold and then it kind of dropped off the face of the universe.
