I'm just...not having fun in league anymore

"Stop playing then you scrub" people will say. And yes, while this is an appropriate response, I believe that a lot of other players are feeling this way too. "It's only preseason" others will say. Ya, I get it. Things will change, but only so much so. So please, don't just be rude and uneducated in your comments.

 It all really started(for me and I think quite a few others) with the good old Juggernaut patch(I am including fiora and Gp reworks in here for the sake of argument). Immediately after release, players would often see 3+ Juggernauts in one game. After the first few games I was like, meh, they aren't too bad and I'm sure they'll get nerfed and become less popular. Well....that happened to Skarner. The others saw only slight nerfs and some even BUFFS. For the rest of season 5, Juggernauts were pick or ban in almost every single game(including worlds!). 

It was time for the adc update in preseason 6. I was so excited! Finally some champion diversity! Then I actually start playing in preseason 6, and it's somehow even worse than Juggernaut patch. Every single game, adc jungle. Adc top. Adc support. Adc as adc. Literally any role is adc now. It used to be just vayne that was amazing in more than one lane(that other lane being top, where she was still fairly strong as long as she had a tanky jungler and sup), but now almost all of the new adc reworks stomp the lanes. You can have graves jungle, quinn top, vayne mid, cait adc, and then a support like alistar, and that's and ACTUAL VIABLE TEAM COMP. 

In closing, yes I know adc's will get nerfs, and yes that it's just the preseason, but they will still remain strong because the new adc's can make LC$BIGPLAYZ. This just makes the game boring. Back in the other seasons, you could pick a fun team comp with like lee mid, karthus and viegar bot, swain top, and name jungle. If you had enough teamwork and were skilled enough, YOU COULD MAKE THAT WORK AND WIN. Now you would just get stomped by the meta picks. And it doesn't help that games are decided by (basically) 1 decision, and that they last (most of the time) under 20 minutes. But I guess I'm just a bronze who knows nothing about the game, because you know you judge everybody by their rank. prepares for hate comments

Riot's making so many big changes at once without responding to the community or caring what we have to say most of the time.

Not only did they make adc strong as f but they destroyed and spat on anyone AP. & RIP mana pots lmfao RIP to the way that I built support healers like sona and nami who dont need health pots whatsoever and rip to mana hungry mid laners like Ahri (she dont even need health pot because her passive heals her) but now we're forced to get health pots no matter who we play. gj riot

I used to be able to play all day, loss after loss and continue queueing up.

Now it's exhausting after a few losses, because they're all the same. ADC (or multiple adcs with one top/in jungle and the other bot) gets fed and stomps with no chance of comeback. Repeat for next game.

You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. I personally am confident that Riot will make something of the mess they've made in the pan. Maybe they'll add in some sausage, maybe some cheese, or even take some egg out and put it in a bag for a later time.

Fuck, I'm hungry.

One of the biggest problems for me were how we saw Gangplank Fiora Darius were pick or ban in worlds, and save for Darius (who is still arguably a strong champion) they got almost 0 meaningful nerfs. Fiora is still a nightmare and Gangplank, although I never really had a problem with in the first place, is still quite strong. The community was extremely adamant about how they felt about these champions, and Rito still didn't really do anything but introduce more cancer in the game.

You haven't played a single game in your last 20 with a team with more than two adc's.

Also Riot balances around LCSBIGPLAYS, nice meme but no. Just a starndard excuse for some one looking to blame Riot instead of themselves. "Off meta picks cant beat meta champs," yeah maybe if your not as good with the champ as you think you are.

Over all yes it is your fault your not having fun and I would highly suggest leaving the game, but I really doubt that too many others are just gonna jump ship after three days, its the preseason you knew it was coming and you knew there would be changes, deal with it.

It worries me when I go against teams with ADC supports who AREN'T EVEN BUILDING SUPPORT ITEMS, yet still manage to win the game because losing lane doesn't mean shit come lategame (Read: 15 Minutes) when they can blow anything and everything up that they want.

So Darius almost lost every game at world's and the games he didn't lose he was still pretty useless

Quit complaining and adapt. Build armor.
