Why Im Quitting LOL

CountZ3r0··4 votes·844 views

Im gonna keep this short and to the point. For the last few years I have played a lot of LOL, I absolutely love this game its amazing, and the fact that Its free is mind-blowing. For quite some time I fought through the toxic lobbies with everyone jockeying for position because the game was just that good. When team builder was introduced it pretty much made the game perfect. It makes me sad to say it but when the old team builder was removed Riot failed big time. I get it you guys have a vision for the game and your trying to achieve it, but giving people less options is very rarely a good Idea. Im not a hardcore ranked player, I like to hop on once a day and get a few games in. I play mid and thats about it, I know how to play all the roles, but mid is the only one I really enjoy, and the only one I excel at. With the new set up I get to play my main role about once every 5 games, so the majority of the time I'm not getting the experience I'm looking for and my team is getting a second rate jungle or support or whatever. So as much as I love what you guys have created for us I think I'm done, If you ever bring the old team builder back pleeeeeeeese, hit me up.

I view Dynamic Queue as the natural evolution of Team Builder. The biggest flaw of Team Builder was the queue time, and Dynamic Queue seems to have fixed that.

It will cause most one trick pony players to learn a second role, but that's a small price to pay for the improved queue time.

Or make lots of players just have a negative experience? And by extension the team they get placed on cause they end up being bad and feeding or just never effecting the game so it effectively a 4v5

That only happens if a player refuses to learn a second role. Before team builder you were expected to learn all five roles, and if it was up to me that would still be the case. Each role teaches you things that can be applied to your main role that you can't learn by just playing your main.

People are limiting themselves, and thereby hindering themselves, by only playing one role. If "lots of players" find learning to be a negative experience then perhaps they should play a different game that does not change.

The problem is league could host both experiences one for people who are willing to learn and get better and another for people that are just playing casually and trying to only have fun not worrying about the skill set they could potentially gain

Casual players played before Team Builder, and they will play now that it is gone. Two roles is not really that much to learn, particularly considering that most champions can fill more than one role.

There is always blind pick and ARAM, in case that helps other casual players out while they wait. Riot just needs time.

I suppose you are correct though I cannot say the same about two roles being not much to learn at least for me its hard to grasp one role to even be less than mediocre at it but that's me others are different.

Hopefully in that time Riot will think of something to cater to everyone or at least an alternative to being forced to fail at things your bad at.

Part of the problem with the "learn all the roles" mindset is that the community is toxic as all hell and REALLY unforgiving of "noobs".

That is a separate problem though. It still doesn't change the fact that players are limiting themselves by not learning other roles.

And yes, not learning a role because you fear the wrath of angry, toxic players is still limiting yourself. I'd love for Riot to simply fix the toxicity problem, but we all know it's not that easy.

Don't be a one-trick pony then. With all those years you have played, why only good at mid?
