League used to take skill

When everything wasn't an indicator/given to you. Used to be able to take Baron and sit in the island bush and wait for them to check baron with the Pinks WardS that they just bought, and you could bait them. You had to actually see Baron pit to know if Baron was gone

It used to be like "Oh god are they taking drag? Is drag gone? Okay guys let's check. Drag's gone. Last time I saw it was 60 seconds ago so it'll probably be up in 5 min or so." Now it is "Are they taking dragon? dsaljdkoadnhajksdnas "Yup they took dragon, it's up in 6 minutes now"

Yeah took so much skill to buy and place stealth wards.

I miss stealth wards....

Trinkets are nice but....

However it was never always worldy announced when one team took a dragon/baron and if you didn't have it warded the timer would be "..." and it would remain that way till you warded the pit with it being back up.

And for low elo. Usually jungle/supports job and 75% of the time if it was in enemy control.

You dead sucker. Lol

I guess new dragon worldly announce does make the game slightly easier but saying the game takes no skill is wrong.

However if I'm botlane and I see "enemy has taken dragon" I know to haul my ass outta botlane. Before that universal message was added, I would of been an easy kill.

That's not really a measure of skill. Riot giving the indicators to both teams allows the losing team (because that's generally the team not getting the baron/dragon) a chance to see when they take it, so they know when to back off. As well, giving the indicators forces both teams to prepare the objective.

If that's how you define skill , you have very bad standards. Try climbing to master tier from gold through pure solo queuing. It REQUIRES skill and knowledge of the game.

Back then, you had to have allot more knowledge of the game and more strategy. I've never played a single game duo. I don't jerk off to this game all day every day because it's not even that good of a game; it's a pass time. To get anything above plat you have to jerk off all day every day to the "current op meta champs of the week". My top mastery champs are Yasuo, Bard, Teemo, Urgot, and Gnar. I can go right now and click on random people in challenger and I bet you'd find Irelia, Ekko, Caitlyn, Ezreal, Jhin, Thresh, and every single cheese champ like Kha, Rengar, and Fizz. The game becomes less skill and more champion based the higher the ranks go.
