I know it's the first day of the preseason and things will get changed around and balanced accordingly, but I've played 6 games and they just haven't been enjoyable. Trying out new runes is fun for like 5 minutes until the enemy just snowballs ahead or I get harassed out of lane since everyone has insane amounts of damage.
I feel like games have gotten even shorter and I have no more drive to actually play the game. Does anyone else feel this way?
Between getting 1 shot by every carry top laner, jungler, or assassin mid, no. It just isn't fun. It's basically who can 1 shot who first. Sucks
I haven't been this bored of LoL, ever. This update murdered my main, and I'm having a hard time even finding the willpower to que.
I NEVER leave comments and RARELY ever visit the forums, but today is a really really really sad day. Change is tough at first, always. But, this update/change has completely affected/effected the game play mechanics at its roots. For many months now I embraced that change was coming to this game, but to change fundamental game play mechanics and overall pacing and 'feel' is just way too far gone and downright wrong of Riot to do such a thing to such a large fan base.
And all I can do is piece all of the warning signs: champion overhauls, cutesy toonish new champs(ivern) and all the other new craptastic useless crap as well, to one thing:
Ghostcrawler ----the epitome of grubby-ass-developer
Everything he gets his grubby troll hands on....he destroys. And he does this because he envisions way too large of things, to things, that never needed envisioning or improvements on in the first place. I'm sure building his 'cause' by Preaching to Riot "sustainability"....."we must make changes for the future of the games' success".......yeah, ....OK. ???
30 million worldwide, right? something like that. well, maybe half that, but still....I think League has been pretty successful! withOUT Ghostcrawler. ..and up until now, had a bright future. But people just gotta touch stuff! Just gotta touch touch touch touch touch! -KaBoooooom!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rune system took away choice, makes good players exponentially OP exponentially faster, makes players that are not good/behind exponentially worse. Every game I have played today went from not fun to just downright disgusting. Win or lose...the key success to league was in its pacing and gameplay itself.
....And Ghostcrawler just took the game play and threw it out the window and replaced the entire game with cat memes to make the game really flashy and tootsie and cutsie! yay! poro's get mustaches too! oh wow! F*******************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Money and Time....just completely destroyed to yet another semi-decade of promises only to turn to ashes and reveal lies.
League just destroyed what made LOL fun. Really simple straight forward mechanics with a HUGE variety of freedom of choice on how you played and built your champion. Now, all that choice has been completely abolished for a cookie cutter gimmicky ass rune system that is completely and utterly unbalanced and has no place in league. This is NOT Heroes of the Storm and that's what made League just what it was; League of Legends. A fun very simple MOBA. The simplicity is what makes this game so much deeper than others and makes the replay so much fun. I don't know what you call it now: An updated pile of hopes and dreams turned to ashes.
Defensive runes blow even if you are a tank.
Better off running offensive runes and just killing the guy faster so you don't have to "tank."
The new "tanking" is playing anything with hard CC and running bursty runes. They never get out of CC anyway. a 1.5 second stun is 3x as long as it takes a carry to die.
Feels like it was reworked for people that think CoD is the highlight of gaming...
People like the game when people can live for more then 2 seconds in a fight, adding more and more dmg to the game is a bad idea.
its truly not fun since their changes... the tooltips arent even clear as to what the runes actually properly do
They crapped all over the game this time.
This is the first time EVER I logged off because the game was no fun win or lose. its just like everyone said 1shoted and Im not joking u can get 1 S H O T E D.( and it starts at lvl 6)
Yeah, it's pretty bad but I'm pretty sure they want games to be fast as fuck for some reason. There's no more early, mid or late game. Everything is flashy. This has ESPORTS written all over it. From ZOE to this garbage.
I never post and dont care what you guys make of my comment here, but leaving it here just so my opinion gets seen by anyone lol, anyways I HATE THIS NEW UPDATE SO MUCH. thanks for listening
my games have been ending faster than usual...
I get the sense that a lot of people who used to have defensive runes, dropped them in favor for pure damage runes. So everyone has lower defenses and higher offensives, leading to people killing each other really quick. It doesn't help that people have some kind of weird aversion to buying defensive items unless they are a tank too.
Eventually people will take more defensive runes, or buy armor.
They've pushed this game to the point of being extremely not fun, yes. All the champions you WANT to play don't have a place in the meta now because other champions snowball harder and can one shot you no matter who they are (looking specifically at the gd Tristana E buff). These runes are supposed to be fun, not tilting as all hell. But hey, because there's literally no defense against some of the stuff they've put out, we can't do anything but die and slowly feel our souls wither away.
The game was toxic before preseason. Holy nutcracker, but today is the worst I've seen for toxicity, both from myself and others because this stuff is just. NOT. FUN.
Damage is higher. Defensive runes blow unless you're playing a tank.
Yep I unistalled an will never play again 9 years an thousands of dollars gone because they ruined a good game the only way I will come back is if they release another client called Classic where we have all the rune pages an masteries.
Duoing with an ADC main and this is happening. Meta hasn't changed.
Remember when the overall damage was so low compared to now, that you could actually make use of Volibears passive?
If you try Volibear now you just get blown up before even using your passive.
Most people I have played with today have been harrassing their own teammates to feel better about themselves. Seriously the community is so toxic today.
It feels really strange suddenly laning with 19 armor and 30 mr midlane. You basically have to learn to trade properly all over again. I don't see why mages should have no armor when almost everyone else got an increase in base armor.
Right now games are complete clownfiesta with ridiculous snowballing. The lack of proper matchmaking in normals makes it even worse - In my recent games I've faced everything from gold to challenger, in the same games. Also, the enemy Katarina got 32 kills in a 26 minute game lol.
100% with you. This is the least fun I've probably ever had. These matches are just the most unsatisfying matches I've ever played.
I am honestly mad as all fuck. I am not having fun with this shit at all. I seriously hate everything about this update. The tank tree is terrible, the precision tree is stupid good. I feel like I am made of paper and will just get three shot by vayne in every game.
Some players who main specific champions now have had their champions become useless, or very weak. I don't know if anyone noticed, but Vayne is like the new Kindred, and Bard is...well, Bard has always been Bard, but now Bard is even more crippled because his roam for shrines simply isn't worth it; judging a journey to get shrines just a tad too poorly results in losing the lane permanently over the ever-more-sensitive Snowball effect.
thier no incentive to play this game anymore since everything i want is locked behind the mythical level 100
Phew, and I thought I was the only one sitting there, in a bot game, facepalming and frowning. Ghost Wards, Poro Wards, Meteorids, Stackinb bullshit everywhere.
I am here since 2010. I know how to play Tristana, she was my very first character. Funny enough, I played Tristana when Nocturne and Fiddlesticks approached me at the turret at Level 4 or something. Suddenly I died from 30% to zero. Not sure, maybe I have been "electrocuted" (mini stattik chief, dealing 60 damage) and/or a mini meteor hit me together with the Fiddlesticks' crow... I just exploded and that never, NEVER happened before.
Later, I was dealing random damage myself of course, so much stuff to avoid, 3 meteors flying around, whatnot. The game spins out of control now even more, and honestly:
IT FUCKING SUCKS.
The runes were a failure. Game's boring. Still the same stomp or get stomped meta, just that now it's even worse. The new unes were a pointless waste of time to make. The old runes were better.
Trash preseason. Game is deffo going downhill as preseasons are usually fun.
absolutely the case, and Riot NEEDS to get on it stat. I might be sounding dramatic when I say this, but if something isn't done quickly alot of people are going to stop playing LoL.
Also the level up rewards are horrible and between each level up it feels like an absolute grind fest in the worst possible way only to randomly get shards that you may or may not need. Not only that but no reward after each game actively makes me feel worse than if it was a small trickle given each time played through a match.
i used to consistently have a near perfect KDA on Ahri with almost every match i played and the match ups were always fun and challenging. with this update my KDA has dropped so far that im pretty sure its past the 10th level of hell. EVERYONE can one shot and EVERYONE GETS one shot. to the point that i cant even zhonyas in time because the TTK is faster than i can reflexively scream.
i honestly dont even know whats wrong with the game, everything feels off and bad, i cant even describe how it feels accurately its just....icky. not to mention getting kills isnt even fun anymore because the first thought that comes to mind is "oh thank god i happened to do more damage than he could in a tenth of a second".
and just one more thing, they wanted to give players more choice on their runes and masteries? i used to run armor, AP, Magic pen, CDR and MR runes now i have to sacrifice Armor MR and Magic pen for a measly 2-10 extra AP? or vice versa have no AP but have resistances that dont matter anyway because everything one shots the non-tanks.
long story short, i hope theres enough community outcry to get them to take another look at this mess or even to just revert back to the old system for one more season because if it keeps going like this i might actually just drop league
They Fucked up the game by changing Runes & sht and they want to shut us up by giving chromas and icon for Shop by IP ( The game play became Boring ) i just oneshoted J4 by playing Jhin at lvl 5 and i was Surprised by that dmg then i got oneshoted by Fizz literally oneshoted ..... And im Bored Af i dont even want to Que anymore ... they killed the game
riot really screw the pooch on this update
fuckin stupidest update ever.
completely ruined the ENTIRE game with these "runes"
of course riot is too damn %%%goty to change back... nope, it's gaurunteed this game is dying now.
fuck this game, wasted all this money on a game that i wanted to stay just the way it was. but they went and fucked it.
"if it aint broke, dont fix it!!!"
no apologies for cussing, but fuck riot.
i KNEW these runes were going to ruin the fuckin game, i knew it.
this new rune system paired with the toxic automatic player issued reports/bans is just getting way too much it's as though the people making decisions at riot have some kind of personality disorder. who the fuck changes a product when they dont need to?
they should have just introduced a new game mode, and kept the classic league but having the OPTION for the new gameplay.
but no they cant think of that, they invented the automatic player issued ban system after all.
This is the worst patch (in 4 years of constant playing) that i can say ive ever seen. it just doesnt feel like league of legends anymore.
Im 100% having less fun, either im killing everything feeling bad for the other team or vice versa
I know nobody cares, but I just deleted the game. The few games i played was seriously unbearable. My damage seems to be cut into a third of what it used to be, and as a lot have said, being slottered in less than a second got old fast. Game is ruined imo.
Totally in the same boat. This doesn't happen often, but in one of the games, I died. When I respawned, I didn't want to go back out into the teamfight because it was just... Boring.
I'm no playing at my best lately because I can hardly pay attention. The game is kind of just boring me. As someone who loves playing certain tanks, I feel like I have such a small window of power in the game now, It's like I have early mid game, then thats it. Not even early game, late game or the entire mid game. Just the little bit after the early game. Then within 5-10 min the I'm not really a tank anymore. More like target practice.
[sg-soraka]
tbh I'm probably going to stop playing the game cause it doesn't feel like something i can play casually anymore i used to be able to hop into a game with all my buddy's and just mess around and have fun with the game but, now it just feels like we just get shit on all game and no one has fun playing league through a gray filter.
If I have to lane against one more 
I will seriously consider uninstalling...
So I just watch my botlane get 3 shot and tower dived repeatedly by an EZ and an AP jarven... This whole new sistem is broken and the game is 0 fun. All that this is about now is getting a level ahead first and then all in on the bot lane. EZ, Vayne, Lucian, are fucking 3 shotting people at level 6... is fucking stupid. The early game is the jungle for serveral champions is just SHIT. Way worse that before. I think I may have just quit LoL. Its just not fun to play anymore.
Yep. I honetly don't enjoy the game anymore
