I've never been less interested in League

It's so boring. I play a game, the game sucks, I queue up, I look at my team, my team doesn't look good, I close the client and don't open it for another week. I can't even bring myself to finish my last weekly mission of Mecha Kingdoms pass. Yeah, I bought the pass, what a waste of money since I'm not getting full value out of it. Total shitshow. But hey, at least I'm still enjoying watching Synapse, Kshaway, Imaqtpie and Trick. That's all Riot wants us to do is watch, because actually playing and having fun is impossible.

That's how exactly my games are going.

One game one sided stomp we win 30-5 too easy, second game I get stomped 5-25 no chance to step-up.

This season is actually worst of all seasons I have played.

More and more true everyday they don't address matchmaking.

Next season they say. They need to do a wake up call and get on this shit now.

I mean, what they rly want you to do is spend money... which you did. Long as people are still payin em for this trash heap they'll keep on doing what they do.

Even though I keep playing, I feel disincentivized as well. More and more lately. There are so many things that can go wrong. On top of the awful matchmaking, you need to worry about constant crashes, ping spikes, DCs etc.

riot has forced the game and the things in the game too much.

so what we get left with is boring 15 min hyper mobile hyper flashy burst stomp games.

i find playing any other game significantly more fun.

crusader kings 2 is free on steam now give that a try if your looking for a fun strategy game.

The true money makers for Riot are the people insinuating that they care about the game, while they actually only care about the clout around the game and the e-sports scenes. The game isn't balanced to be a game anymore, its just an huge excuse of software updated over years to only have value from watching other people play it. Just like american football, the "sport" is barely accessible for anyone, yet it is extremely popular to watch. The problem, is that a video game is supposed to be played, thats what its for, yet Riot (or should I say, TENCENT) only do care about the maximum revenue they can make out of it, and wannabe "fans" like e-girls and let's-players who only pretend to like the game to gain either attention or traction are only encouraging the balance team to make the game even worse. Hell, even popular streamers or content creators who've played the game for years actually confesses from time to time that they only play it because that's what viewers are wanting them to and essentially giving them money for. Those who didn't completely quit like Dyrus, Uber or Donkey either take prolongated breaks, like Pinkward, or just simply play other games as soon as they can afford to, like QtPie and Hash.

This isn't even the saddest part, since even if the game is essentially dead and ripped off of anything that makes it interesting, there'll always be this small insignificant opinion that'll make it SEEM like its not dead. The saddest part is knowing, as an actual community member, that the game is literally a walking shell of its former self, a hollow replica of its former glory who only exists to boast its shiny exterior, constantly polished and carried by the people who lie about caring for what's inside.

I use to love this game, and so I keep tabs on it to see if things will get better. but I have moved on top playing Dead by Daylight as my multiplayer game.

I can relate to this so much xD

This game has literally become a joke. More than half the time I feel my own team is a bigger impediment upon winning than the opposition. I'm convinced the matchmaking system punishes you for playing competently with teams stacked with trolls, inters, fakers, etc. Nothing is ever done about these type of players, even when you submit a ticket, but say anything negative to players ruining matches and you're eligible for punishment up to and including being banned. It's ridiculous.

No reason at all to dedicate time to improving your mechanics, understanding the game, etc-- because at the end of the day, wins and losses don't hinge on your individual ability, but on whether or not you hot shafted in champ select with a shit team.

i have a bittersweet relation with league right now... on one side i already reached 112k with aphelios and i realy like playing this champions... riot's gonna nerf him but i dont mind

on the other hand the games overall are so repulsive right now... usualy decided by either one person who got fed on a snowbally champion and cant be stopped in 5v1 situation... or someone who just picks a good counterpick and gets to dominate the game from the champion select... he should have an advantage not the game in the bag. multiply by the fact that adc's are a relatively weak role this season (many pro's start ranking it close to top lane in terms of uselesness) which rarely snowballs due to easier anti adc itemization. And i have real trouble launching leage despite the fact that i realy like to play this goddamn champion.

there are still those jewels of the games... but the primary prerequisite for a good match of league is people not picking the current top tier champions

Are there even any toplane mains playing anymore?

lamakisser2/17/2020, 2:29:05 PM4 votes

why would you watch the "pros" when you clearly know its rigged and scripted like all "sports"

PaladinNO2/17/2020, 8:19:56 PM3 votes

Well, there's always Ebay to get back what you can of what you have spent on your account - it's not like Tencent deserves any more money anyway.

Season 10 was fucked the moment it started lol

Honestly, my main issue is the new champ creation - make a champ like Yuumi as support, and that's awesome!! Then you get Pyke, who has an ulti that resets and can also award gold to your team for assisting? Compare that to Darius, who gets a reset on ulti kill, but has to work much harder to achieve the same. Then you have Senna who is supposedly a support, but is played more as ADC, TOP, or even MID. A support that starts with massive range, scales her dmg and range, gets free crit... has a quick escape that can apply to teammates, a root, and a global ult (which helps her get assist gold mainly). I'm sure i'm missing something here. I'm posting this AFTER her patch too. But yeah, just overloaded a bit.

What i'm saying here is that we shouldn't have to watch champions drop in, then have to be continuously nerfed to the ground every other patch. If they make a champ right, they'll still sell the skins. But Riot is losing face, more now than ever I feel. Keep dropping those champs in, like Sett - who can 1v1 Darius at level 1. No melee should win that matchup while getting bleed on them.

What ruins the game is the lack of balance... and recent pathing changes. Not sure when it got so bad, but somewhere in S10 I just started doing circles in creep waves.

Matchmaking is literal fucking dogshit.

Blue Shift2/18/2020, 3:35:38 AM3 votes

Every game is the same 30 or so champions that I despise and every game feels the same because of it. Nobody tries to innovate or just play for fun because the shit that's broken is 10x stronger than everything else.

They keep reworking champions into extremely unfun piles of shit that in almost every instance is a complete failure and only makes the game worse in comparison to what it was.

Maybe if they stopped balancing around numbers and instead starting balancing around actual enjoyment of the game, we can stop this fuckfest of a game from spiraling into irrelevancy.

My latest game was the best game I had in awhile. But then again, it might be because we had a premade team and nobody was flaming me for every single decision or mistake that I made, as it so often happens in solo q.

I recently posted about how the game could be balanced (https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/z7GP2M3V-lets-balance) and this ties very well in here. Riot focusing more and more on money and less on the "fun" aspect of their game really shows. Take TFT for example. The balance patches are really about balance and the game is a lot of fun even though it has quite some RNG in it. The possibility of coming back from a bad start etc is exciting and fun. And I say that even though I am not a very big fan of TFT (or other Auto-Chess games).

Because matchmaking sucks ! We've been spamming the european servers for weeks.

Power Cosmic2/18/2020, 4:27:08 AM2 votes

I have to agree. The game is in a weird place. Not much in game to get excited about, but plenty to turn people off. Mainly, if everyone is kicking butt and carrying, then really no one is. Bringing back a macro foundation would do nothing but improve the present gameplay.

I'm kind of tired of posts like this. I get it league is frustrating but there is absolutely nothing constructive or relevant about posts like this but one's own personal opinion of the game. It's weird why these post get so many upvotes. "I'm so tired of league, too much damage, game just isnt fun" like... Isn't there a forum related to stuff like this and not gameplay? I know that you guys will be upset with this post but I just had to say it.
