Why I'm quitting league.

Mew27··2 votes·1,091 views

Hi, here are my personal thoughts and opinions on league, and more importantly why It isn't fun.

  1. Team Composition- League at the highest levels is a fun game. I enjoyed watching all the professional teams games. But there is a huge disparity between high-level play and low-level play. At a professional level, all the players are insanely good. In normal play, the teams will consist of 2 members with a combined IQ of 1, a monkey, a troll, and one actually decent player. The contest is just to see which team sucks less.

  2. Autofill-Who thought autofill is a good idea? Seriously. I understand it keeps the time to find a match lower but it sucks being auto-filled. I play ADC a majority of the time. I played an autofilled game of support and it made me want to blow my brains out because the ADC had no Idea what the fuck he was doing. Autofilled being a thing brings up another area of complaint...

  3. Role Impact- No one wants to play support because it has so little impact and it is completely reliant upon teammates making good engages. Roles like support and top have a miniscule amount of impact upon the game as compared to the other roles. You could be playing a perfect game of top or support and still lose the game because your bottom or mid lane got beat.

  4. Toxicity- Everyone in this game is extremely toxic. Even me. That's part of the reason why I've decided to quit. People will run it down, call you racial slurs, and int. No one gets punished.

  5. Dodging- I understand punishments are set in place to keep trolls from dodging games. But If people make troll pick like teemo or nasus jg, jarvan mid, or a shyvanna support, I should not be punished for dodging the game. Everyone says "Oh, they can't be punished for making off meta choices." There's a difference between off meta and fucking trolling. And it's pretty obvious which is which.

6, AFKing- If someone AFK's it's a gg. The game should make them take the LP loss of everyone on their team.

  1. Game length- The games are too long. If I lose a game of COD its only 5 minutes, it's not a real problem. But it feels terrible to spend an hour trying to win a lol game only to lose in the end.

In short, the game is not fun. I'm not going to commit my time to a game that makes me feel terrible when I could be having fun playing other games. Life's too short to play crappy games. League has and always will have the potential to be fun, but in this state, it is anything but fun.

Thanks for listening through my angry rant, and may your doran's blade's stay ever sharp and your team never int.

Cheers [zombie-nunu-bummed]

I love how Rito was like in the latest patch "better inapropriate name detection" and still ppl can create names like "MyPenisinYourHole".

3 years ago league of legends was a great Game, but since then its getting worse every year

Totally agree with you on that one. I've seen people with stuff like KYS in their name and nothing happens.

Started a while back and I totally feel like this game went downhill.

Who honestly cares about an "offensive character name" Get over it tbh, it's kinda pathetic. Otherwise, agree'd OP games pretty bad.

Go play some Matches. Last Patch there was a "Simple Nerf" for Yi which buffed him in decreasing Alpha Strikes Mana cost even further. Yi is a 99% True Damage champ, which he wasn't 3 years ago.

Last Match i had 380 Armor (80% damage reduction) got killed by Yi in 3 Hits (181 damage by a basic attack nothing else was blockable cause its all true damage)

Im so glad when i can get rid of league next month and move on. This Game is the worst.

Probably, the games more addictive than heroin pretty much. [zombie-brand-clap]

We're you seriously advocating making game length comparable to COD? Get outta here with that. I like games between 25 and 45.

Most your points are Cliché and some of them already were addressed.

Ttfn.

Games of shorter length and longer length have pros and cons.

Games with shorter lengths of time are easier to pick up and play in a spare minute. The game also seems more casual because I have more time invested in it.

Longer games can build more depth, Which I do enjoy. The problem is it makes you extremely invested in a long game. It feels terrible to lose hour long games and tedious even to win them.

The problem with the length is that I'm a pretty busy dude. It's hard to carve out 45-minute chunks to play one game.

And about most of my points "being Cliché" could you explain it further? I doubt that any of these points have been addressed by riot. As to being overused as is implied with Cliché, perhaps they are overused because riot refuses to make any changes.

Chip-Chip Cheerio :)

Ya know monkeys don't have a terrible IQ. Heck there's a video of a monkey getting a drink from a machine.
