I can't be the only one finding it harder and harder to enjoy League nowadays
let alone try to find whatever willpower is left to play a match. I mean let's just look at a few of the problems the game has right now:
and the champs who abuse it still feel like shit to play against, especially Janna, ADCs are pretty much the make/break point of a match on whoever wins botlane, while simultaneously being able to melt anyone with their damage, and not to mention that games are still feels snowbally as fuck and/or most just are complete stomps. Literally, two of my last matches within the last seven days were wins of 24-8 and 21-7.
And those are just some of the issues right now for this season. "oh but worlds is soon coming up and after than preseason for balance reset" yeah, but that's an issue that I have with this game as well: it's almost always balanced around the pro scene and especially worlds! I am not a fan of watching esports for this game, at least not very often, and I hate it when they buff an annoying champ in solo que just because Riot wants to see them at worlds and break the constant seeing of
and whoever else is popular in the pro scene.
And even then, there are just more problems with the game, whether it's something everyone can agree on or just small pet peeves that everyone personally has. Towers still feel like trash, some champs are completely unfun to play against, like
while others just feel like complete crap to play as, like
, ranked still feels like a gamble of whether you can climb one rank today or go on a lose streak and hit rock fucking bottom. Hell, I barely feel like I can play my favorite champs half of the time because their off meta and my team will just blame me if we lose or their meta and OP and the enemy will just rage that I'm playing a no-skill champ.
I've played this game for roughly 3 or 4 years now (whenever Spirit Guard Udyr was the login was when I began) and after playing the game for this long with all of the horrid changes Riot has made to the game, from their class updates to new items and flow of gameplay, I'm just not that motivated to play games that much anymore. And before someone suggests "oh take a break and try something else" that's the thing: taking a break already helps because I'm not playing the burning trash pile of balance that is this game. I actually feel joy and fun when I get to play other games but as soon as I come back here I just sink right back into a semi-depressed mood because the game still feels like it's in the shitter for balance. And this is probably going to get worse when preseason and the new runes hit which until I try it one more time and see how it goes I'm probably going to call it quits. League just doesn't have that same feel of fun for me like it did when I first started anymore.
tl;dr : current state right now sucks, other things in the game suck, some champs are either OP or forgotten, most likely going to get worse in preseason and most likely wanting to quit to have fun with other games again.
