Why is this game dying?
I've been playing league pretty regular for a while now and this is by far the worst I've seen the community get. After perusing the boards and watching alot of streamers leave for other games I think I've narrowed the issue down to these:
Games are decided in 10 minutes... but take 20-30 minutes to be played out. 1 Person cant win a game but 1 person can lose it but everyone pays for it. The player base has gotten so toxic either they flame everyone else or they just afk if they dont like how they played the first 5 minutes. Champs are completely reworked or retcon'd regardless of fan base (and no refunds or exchanges but that is another issue). The matches have gotten so binary you can almost predict who will win, who will flame, and who will feed at champ select. The game punishes solo players and GREATLY FAVORS groups.
The truth is RITO is losing a lot of Quality players over variations of these issues. And it shows in the community. Because all were left with now are the trolls who don't care; The ones who care way to much; and those of us (myself included) who bounce between both poles.
I don't know how they can plug these holes or if I even want to stay around and find out. I think there is a solution out there but I wouldn't know where to begin its gotten pretty bad. I've been playing since season 1 and this is definitely the worst I've seen it.
Ultimately I think the worst part has to be how bad the community has gotten the fact that they just give up after 10 minutes or they spew the most vile comments while you try and salvage the next 45 minutes of your life. Maybe that is where Rito should begin. Rebuild your community...
