This Game Is NOT Balanced
Title says it all. When 4 people doing well, can't compensate for 1 person that's trolling or just having a bad a game, there's something wrong with it's design. I love this game; I've grown up with it, but I don't see myself investing any more time or money towards it going forward.
I could be wrong, it could be bias; but I'm more consciously aware of the things I'm doing in game and the decisions I'm making. The plays that I choose to go in on and those that I don't. I'm more constructive and supportive and better able to advise people I play with not only on strategy, but on the champs their playing and the builds/items they're pursuing. That being said, I have NEVER struggled or been as frustrated with the game or it's community as I am right now, and I've been playing since Olaf was released, so quite early on.
I can't put my finger on what's changed, or how, but this isn't the game I fell in love with all those years ago and threw parties with my friends to watch tournaments for.
RIP League of Legends
