Been 2 days and I haven't had fun once

Every game: 20-30 minute stomp. No late game. No "important decisions". When the new winions get put in, you can kiss goodbye to comebacks too. Riot makes all these TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, let me say it again TERRIBLE changes with the emphasis of "Making your decisions matter". Not once in any game I've played so far have I done something and been like, "Wow, my decision there really mattered!". No. You know why? Because every game one team is completely destroying the other; there's no room for important decisions. It doesn't matter what decisions you make. You're stomping the other team and, once the winions get put in, you won't even have to do anything. The minions will finish the game off for you. Why? Why Riot? Why take the most popular game in the world and completely destroy it with these changes? I realize its still preseason, but the fact that they've released this as an actual patch means they intend for these changes to be a part of season 6. And if that is there intent, I want no part of it. I honestly hope if Riot continues in this direction, they lose a lot of money. I'm at the point where playing the game in its current state is painful. Fix your mistakes Riot before you lose the community you forgot about.

I'm extremely disappointed. This is not about 1 or 2 champions or even an entire class being OP. This is about the fundamentals of the game being broken. I remember in season 3/4 where ppl were complaining about the extreme snowballing of assassins. That was nothing compared to this because along with assassins, you had waveclear mages at full power both as bot lane supports and as mids. You had a jungle that was easy enough for carry junglers to exist alongside tank and bruiser junglers. Rammus in particular was pick or ban for 1/3 of season 4 because he had nasty ganks starting from level 2, could clear easily and absolutely destroyed ADCs and AD assassins. You could itemize if you could eek out some farm because you didn't have ridiculous %HP true damage running around. Where do you think "build full tank if you are behind" came from?

Now what do you have? Fuckin bullshit 3 ADC comps.

The funny thing is you don't even need baron to win anymore. You can just run up mid lane and win the game.

idk what you're talking about, getting punished even more for going melee vs champs like graves is just so much fun

In your entire post not one part of it is about actual gameplay nor changes that you seem to be angry about. Maybe you aren't having fun is because of how negative your attitude is towards the preseason change without any logical understanding of what preseason is.

But Anime Comebacks will always exist FOR YOU SEE! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAR BEHIND YOU ARE! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FED EVERY OTHER GODDAM FUCKING LANE IS! IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT ALL 4 MEMBERS ON YOUR TEAM HAVE GIVEN UP! YOU GOTTA BELIEVE IN THE POWER TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! YOU CAN AND WILL TRIUMPH OVER THE ENEMY TEAM! YOU CA--- an ally has been slain Your team has agreed to surrender Votes 4-1

The people that aren't complaining about this patch are the ones playing the stupid broken champs stomping everyone. "I don't see a problem, I'm constantly winning in 10 minutes...this patch is great! Stop complaining!"...

Been playing since season 2 and this is far and away the worst pre-season experience I have ever had. Probably not coming back to this game.

Finally a thread that lets people know the truth of things. Last year Riot did a lot to lower snowballing and make comebacks possible. I haven't seen a team not snowball or even be able to remotely comeback since the patch in all of my personal games as well as spectated games. I've even been watching the D1-Challenger games and it's the exact same situation when I can even find such a game. Nearly all of them are moving to aram because Rift is broken in its current state.

Cmon lads ,chill seriously ... Instead of trying new thing, tunning your mains, finding what suits you, you all rant about these changes and PreSeason like there is no tommorow ... Chill pls ,best regards :D

PS: Yasuo got buffed ,still having fun (with bloody TF ... )

Yakas11/13/2015, 6:37:15 PM5 votes

As a yasuo main when he was over nerfed and shit, I hate these changes. It's stupid how it took me a year to master yasuo but everything that countered him before is useless now. Currently, all I see are shit ty Yasuos who dash around randomly all through lane and when they finally bring me low enough in lane, they heal back up. I kill him anyways but NO let's take away the Bork/bt build path completely and put that on a mastery so they can build pure damage and destroy me and my team no matter how much armor I build.

Example, 1v1ed a 6/0 jax as a 3/1 yasuo. Killed the jax, didnt dodge the stun and he ulted. After the stun I was half hp the I auto qed and went back to 70% hp. This is stupid. I'd rather him be nerfed into the ground so u can improve my playstyle than have him op where everyone thinks there diamond when they play him.

Edit: a good way to see it is, it's not hard to do damage as yasuo, but it's hard to survive. Make Yasuos have built in sustain and it's suddenly op.

right now people are in adjustment stage, it's happened before many times. One time you were a troll if you went shyvana top, some EU crew at worlds rekt TSM or CLG back in S2 with a shyvana top lane and counter jungled the F no one has ever seen this before in NA. All of a sudden you started seeing high mobility tank/bruisers at top lane and they started messing people up everyone in NA was doing this, people QQ'd of course. Although this change is minor compared to this pre season changes, the point is as things change in league people get upset, it's always been like this. People adapt, people survive, they learn and begin to accept just wait it out then you will see.. Its never been a better time than ever to play a jungle AD or tanky AP's if you don't know why I just said that, you probably don't understand what the preseason changes have done. This season is very exciting, well not if you're a mage whos losing lane and building full dmg.. the game will suck for you now.

When you say " The minions will finish the game off for you. Why? Why Riot? Why take the most popular game in the world and completely destroy it with these changes?" Do you know the junglers role in this game? If you're in bronze , silver, gold(Even high gold) most of your junglers will probably suck and have no idea who wins lane match up or even ask those questions. If you understand lane match ups, you should call things out and communicate with the jungler, cuz most junglers in that low elo are jsut really really awful(I used to be down there and played jungler I was 1 of those baddies) I'll tell you right now though, lane minions pushing because they're naturally stronger is the best thing for a jungler. This opens so much gank opportunity I'm going to get so many kills, I've never wanted to jungle so much before this patch. Shaco jungle is INSANE right now.

Just wait it out eventually you will see the gem in this patch. Try adapting runes and masteries for this patch and for every game. "Adapt" don't use the same shit all the time unless it makes logic sense

Speak for yourself, I haven't had this much fun on league in a long time. Try to work with the changes instead of playing the way you used to.

Super Spooky11/14/2015, 1:17:04 AM3 votes

We want nice changes to the game that improve our experience, like the new matchmaking system being added. THAT is an example of something a lot of people wanted and it looks like it will work great! Keep doing things like that for big patches, and less of "hey let's change all this stuff that was working perfectly fine before"

WhiteGuyWannaBe11/13/2015, 8:05:28 PM3 votes

It's been two days and I've had a blast, absolutely loving the preseason and can't wait to see how they improve the game as we approach the next season.

This is the beggiing of the cicle of death of League of Legends. Save what i wrote

ZzEslIolZQ11/13/2015, 5:12:17 AM2 votes

What you don't find being 10 levels higher than the enemy after you get first blood for 15 mins then the game ends fun? I think it's fun. Trashcrawler thinks thats how league should be played too better get ready.

KirbyCake11/13/2015, 5:23:15 PM2 votes

Idk, feels even easier to have a come back because the throws are harder. Yesterday I won a game where it was even kill score and then our jungler afked for 15 minutes but we still won.

Lishp8811/14/2015, 4:49:21 AM2 votes

I completely agree with this post. I hope changes are on the way and fast, or else I will move on and spend my money elsewhere. This game was so much fun, not sure why they decided that they needed to make so many game-changing alterations in one patch, and i'm very surprised how they didn't catch maaaaaany of the crazy OP and UP things that are obvious across all players before making it live.

VIT Cabochard11/14/2015, 9:40:06 PM1 votes

Praise it dude!! I got back into csgo cause of these changes, they are complete shit imo i couldn't agree more.

I had a lot of fun playing Taric and yelling out GEMS when something happens.

I recommend coming back next week when the changes have sunk in and the hotfix is in.
