Is the Game Less Fun Now?

Und3rThund3r·Sep 30, 2015·2 votes·387 views

I just kind wanted to see if other people were feeling this way. I don't know exactly what it is so I'm not sure if I am changing or the game. I have a few guesses but its less factual and more feeling based. -It feels like the games are slow and stall in the mid game.
-Playing team fight champions doesn't seem to be rewarding. (so much split pushing) -Playing adc doesn't feel rewarding for the same reason as above. -Champs that are a little anti fun for their opponents are common. Garen, Darius, Olaf.

I know this is a little open ended but what are some opinions out there? Are you finding the game to be getting more fun, less fun, or staying the same in the past few months?

1.) I kind of agree with this to an extent. Sometimes they end really quickly when a team snowballs, but if both teams are even it tends to be a bit of a "One wrong step and your dead". 2.) I disagree with this one. Team fight champions are really rewarding. I actually find split pushing champions to be a little... unreliable and lack too much luster unless your champion can play around with Zz'Rot Portal and is already a good split pusher, such as Shen. Team fight champions actually dominate right now. 3.) I both agree and disagree with this one. ADC feels pretty rewarding, but they are pretty boring. Most ADC champions dont feel truly unique, just a bunch of different ways to do the same thing and thats basic attack. Whoever has the best basic attack wins. 4.) The abuse will be abused. While I dont agree on Darius being really antifun (for the love of the lord, stop just running up to him and expecting to win), and Garen is only borderline in my opinion. Olaf is just a strange champion to play against since he forces the player to be unable to rely on their team in anyway unless their team can just straight up kill an Olaf charging at them. Really, its just people are seeing too many champions as OP that actually arent too OP. Darius isnt all that bad. Garen could be worse. Mordekaiser requires a lot of team work. Veigar is a free kill if you out maneuver him. People just want their kills to be easy. They dont want to work for a kill AND AT THE SAME TIME want the enemy to work harder for their kills. (everything must be dodgeable)

I find the game to be heading in the right direction overall, but it is kind of going through a weird teenage years thing where so many old champions need updating that A.) a lot of old and easy to abuse champions are taking a while to get out into a rework, and B.) Once reworked, they are sometimes a little ridiculous or under-performing. Once a lot of the old champions get better kits, the game will seem a lot better. (AKA Once Poppy, Taric, Warwick, Yorick, etc. get reworks)

thanks for the reply and opinions. Just to clarify i was trying to say that because teammates seem to love split pushing, team fights don't happen as much. I agree team fights make the game fun. I'm saying the split pushers are making it less fun to an extent. But again more of a feeling than anything else

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh... I got you. Well, thats the players and not the game. An uncoordinated team is bound to not have fun (and probably lose). Split pushing can be made fun if you have the right champions though. I kind of agree, however, that split pushing could be made better and funner. I really hope at least sometime they make a champion or champions that are all about pushing and less about "I can attack fast, clear waves quick, and got the mobility. Lets split push."
