I miss fun

Multi-layered fun. I miss being able to do Ultimate Bravery. I miss being able to build tank on carries and damage on tanks. I miss having options, I miss being able to play a really goofy build and have fun doing it. I miss obscure and wonky strategies, I miss silly things like Clairvoyance AP Ezreal dedicated to taking your blue buff. I miss custom game lobbies, Phantoml0rd's race around the Rift, hide-and-seek. I miss when you could have fun even while losing.

Nowadays, the moment you're behind, you get obliterated. If you're even marginally weaker than your opponent you get obliterated. If you pick a champion Riot doesn't favor you get obliterated. There's no custom game lobbies, there's all of two maps to play, and you can't even meet new people in a general chat. You can't spectate high-elo games without watching their streams or having them added. You can't Ultimate Bravery without Riot punishing you for troll building, Clairvoyance is gone, you've lost the hyper-specific and trollish rune page options. You've lost jungle item variety, you've lost a lot of individual strategy or lack-of-strategy. You can't even talk in game without a fear of being reported - remember when trash talking was allowed? Not anything obscene, but saying "damn you just got fun'd on" or "nice try kid" can get you reported. You can't interact with anybody, but you have to communicate. You can't strategize, but you have to have strategy. You can't have fun unless you're winning, because fun equals 600 damage in one hit, and no-fun equals being on the other end.

Fun is something League of Legends has lost. Fun is something I wish League of Legends could get back. I miss Fallout: New Vegas options, but we're stuck with Fallout 4 options.

thats not a thing. riot doesn't care what you play in what role or what your items are as long as your intention is to win'

Clairvoyance is gone replaced by blue trinket

ftfy

repoorts don't do anything if you did nothing wrong and you can trash talk just fine without being toxic

Not anything obscene, but saying "damn you just got fun'd on" or "nice try kid" can get you reported.

won't get you punished if that's all you said tho

You can't interact with anybody, but you have to communicate. You can't strategize, but you have to have strategy.

you can do all that as long as you aren't toxic. it's not hard to not be toxic. at all

You can't have fun unless you're winning, because fun equals 600 damage in one hit, and no-fun equals being on the other end.

if you've never had fun in a game, despite being on the losing side then you don't understand the point of games in general

I miss Fallout: New Vegas options, but we're stuck with Fallout 4 options.

LoL is no longer for the average player. It is no longer designed for the fun of the playerbase, it is now designed for pro play.
