G Master Hung2 votesThats how team games work. If you wanna play a game where its up to you to win go play minecraft.
Jamaree2 votesYes, welcome to team based games in general?
ZephyrDrake1 votesWelcome to team based games in general. You can be doing well and still lose because the TEAM as a whole lost. If you want your individual performance to mean anything go play non team based games or games where "team" is just some lose term that means nothing at all
Ragnaveil1 votesI mean, promos are kinda unnecessary right now. We have so many ranks that it isn't necessary as a concept anymore. Just adds way too much grind.
Damoklese1 votesMOBA games have lost popularity for a number of reason.. most importantly:
TOXIC!!!!! communities. People who play these games have no chill. When you go against someone better than you, it sucks bad enough that you are losing..but you can bet your neckbeard teammates are gonna pick you apart and kick you when you are down too. The community sucks. In every moba.
Stale gameplay. The new champion mechanics can be interesting, but the only MOBA to date that has really successfully instituted different maps is HOTS, and unfortunately that game was run by blizzard. Blizzard is the debil, so HOTS is dead. Its a shame because they had some great ideas, and with some perfecting, I think it could have made for a better MOBA than anything to date.
The toxic freaking community. Yeah im listing it again. A new player is gonna get yelled at, belittled, ridiculed, and told to uninstall and die. How exactly is the community supposed to grow with that kind of atmosphere?
An illogical hatred for simplicity. Hey.. intricate uber skill based champs and strategies are great. But if you want to keep a larger playerbase, you need champions that appeal to people with sloth like reflexes and zero affinity for mental gymnastics. LoL seems to hate champions like this, as they have started a crusade to rework all of them into something "more fun".. and then proceed to remove all targeted abilities, and make every power require some kind of "condition" triggered by the other powers. hot take: The majority of people who play these games really arent that good at it. Bronze, Silver, even gold sometimes..is just a bunch of keyboard smashing nitwits flailing at each other. Simple champions dont just need to exist..they need to be strong enough to make a difference. Or even carry a team. Intricate champions should be versatile and reward good play.. but you shouldnt need to be able speed solve long division and trigonometry to get first blood.
