Here is why i think people are quitting League
Hey guys, so i'm just going to give you guys a rundown of my ranked day on the 16th of this month and now more recently, and explain why i feel like people are quitting league, or at least why i see zero point in playing this game competitively.
Listen, i'm not good, but i have dedicated 900k (close to one million) mastery points on Vayne
between this season and the last, this is not to say i'm good, i'm not, in fact all my time and experience has counted for absolutely nothing.
I wake up on the 16th and i plan a ranked day, a day to just grind the game and see how far i can climb, here is exactly how it went:
Game 1: I start the day at 20 LP Silver 4, i ended the game 8/4/8 with a win. now, you would think this is a good start, but my opponent ADC actually had a Heimer
Sup with TP Smite....Yes, we wrecked them, what fun is that? To me this game was a waste of time, i don't play to climb i just want to compete with people that are better than me....So to me, this is a waste of time.
Game 2: I go 4/3/2 and we win again, isn't that good? Well, if you think hugging the turret the entire game to only group at the last 5-7 mins to end the game and get carried is fun, sure i had fun. This is literally my life every game now, i get 4 manned bot several times and i kinda just farm and wait in the hope my team can push or get objectives, i could careless about the win, i spent 40 mins in a game that i had ZERO fun in getting harassed all game. Yes a good Vayne will play it defensive, but this pattern gets very old man, i feel like i have ZERO impact on the game in situations like this, and by the end of the game i don't even care who won.
Game 3: I drop 16 kills this game as Kass
, barely didn't get a penta, but we lost. Hm, so now that i utterly dominate the game with a late game carry from he start, i can't win, but hey Jhin is 1/11 and thresh is 0/10, so what you did all game doesn't matter to much, because i can burst and kill 1 target very effectively, but if the enemy team is a premade 5 they will still chain CC and win the game, and that's exactly what happened. They grouped, i'm the only one that was fed on the team, i'm not Xpeke and we loose.
Game 4: So, this tends to happen to me at least once a day, were for some magical reason my game crashes during loading screen, and for some reason can't connect until i'm already 4 lvls behind from the enemy adc. This is something that affects me to often, more often then id like to admit to anyone, but technical problems just keep happening this season, there seems to be WAY MORE afk's or temporary dc's during the game, Hell, half the battle is making sure all 10 players loaded in to have a good game...(i know they implemented a system to help, it hasn't helped me yet). So i get spanked the entire game by a jinx that's 4 lvls ahead of me all game, and just get flamed. Like i really just want to leave, but i can't, because this is League of Legends, so we must park our butt for 40 mins and play out a lost game. i'm not one to throw a little bitchfit and DC because i started late, but man putting up with the flaming for 40 mins was not on my plans for that day, even if we won i wouldn't even care at that point, but yeah we lost.
Game 5: I dropped something like 26 kills + this game, or something crazy we won super hard, like most games, it feels like an unbalanced match-up, like my opponents had zero chance this game, the skill gap is just...Again, i'm not Gosu, but some of these games are sad i can't even have fun when the person is this bad...Like no clue how to trade when i go cs and return some dmg, so just getting out traded by a vayne all game is depressing for him i'm sure, so why pair me up vs him? These games seem unbalanced and playing in silver i feel like half the time i play with someone that just started the game and the other with a smurf or someone with questionable mechanics, again i'm not Gosu, but i can spot good adc's based on the way they trade, orb walk, cancel animations, etc and some of these "silver" players are better then my Plat friends who coach me from time to time, just very odd. Regardless, we won this game.
game 6: I lost because again, i DC...My computer can run any of the latest games on Ultra, i can play any other game online with ZERO problems, like say Dota 2, but not here at Rito games cause we can't figure out how to make a client that's just a bit less garbage. Disabling firewall, antivirus, nothing NOTHING NOTHING WORKS. So, it remakes the match, fun but i'm pretty sure i still lose the LP because i finished the day at Silver 4 3 Lp, 17 less then i started.....So, i feel like my entire day was a waste of time, i could have done so much more with my day, but i chose to dedicate it to ranking and got nothing out of it, didn't even have fun.
2 days go By of just playing and yeah we are back to the pattern of wins and losses that has kept me from getting back to Gold for 6 months now, i go on a huge win streak to silver 4, then on a huge loss streak with a few wins that gets me demoted back to Silver 5. So now i'm sitting at silver 5 again, trying not to hate my self and do my best, and i go and win 3 games in a row!!!! But then, 2 games straight with a DC mid game from teammates, so my winstreak doesn't matter, nothing i do matters....The more i play this, the more i realize why every one is quitting...Even my hero Young Gooby (Master Tier) quit LoL for Overwatch, because in his words -"Riot doesn't like micro, just macro, so they hate ADC's and want to turn it in to a support-like role...every time an ADC sees light and something that allows them to get a bit strong early on, it's nerfed. They fucked Lucian, they fucked QSS and they just don't care about this game...The meta right now (was 6.10 then) was Urgot ADC with the highest win rate, this is ADC right now. Tanks deal more than the AD's all game and we get 4 manned every game, why does the tank deal more than the AD with more HP?". I saw that MF is the new cancer of Adc's again, and
got a buff only god knows why, but this is what i'm talking about dude, it's really not just me, even Dlift quit vayne, i wasted my time perfecting a useless craft. Honestly the more i play this game the worse i do, my practice and "improvement" doesn't mean anything.
Final words, listen i'm not saying i deserve Challenjour.... But i'm really sorry, when i take time off like this and get nothing but games like these i see why people quit. Btw, "git gud" or something along the lines is an overused answer to everything, be creative.
