Riot......you ruined the one good thing you had going for you. Ranked play.

I do not care if this gets downvoted to hell or even upvoted, this is a general opinion post which is what the boards is all about, general community opinion. I also know this will not shed any light to Riot, majority of the time Riot just responds to the Memes and Games posts to avoid any possible admittance that they are wrong or have made any mistakes. But over the past month or so, you can just tell that the enjoyment of playing ranked games has declined.

• With Riot's initiation of making games shorter, I feel like they went about this all wrong. However, when you think about it, there really isn't a good way to make games shorter. So, in my opinion, this was just bad for game play.
• Dynamic queue is probably just a under-the-rug way of making games shorter. Riot thought "Hey, lets make a way that looks really good on our part (Teaming up with a now uncapped amount of friends) and saying we'll almost guarantee that your queue type will face other queue types.". This has been an epic fail. Probably 90% of the time its quadro vs solo queue and the result is mostly the same, a surrender at 20 minutes for the solo squad. Shorter games, accomplished. -Turrets not doing jack, death timers that spun out of control, and them having their favorite champs in which fake nerfs are all too common just add fuel to the fire. -Toxicity I would say is at an all time high as a seasoned veteran of league who has been playing from season 2.
• You have a champ basis that exceeds 110 champs and yet, 20% of champs are constantly played. A vast majority of those champs are broken and yet, the same amount of bans are given to us to try to minimize a 30-5 champ.
• The general opinion I am seeing of winning and losing is "who gives a shit". Snowballing is all too easy. -You have gotten rid of Dominion which was a fan favorite, forcing more people to switch over to the Rift, for what reason I have no idea.

I leave with an example game that I played a couple of days ago. I picked Kassadin, a champ who used to be OP but was nerfed to the ground never to be seen again. My team at about the 10 minute mark were down about 30-5 in kills. We were just getting dump rolled. By the 20 minute mark, they pushed to our nexus turrets. The funny thing is, the entire game all 10 of us were /all chatting laughing about how bad the game has become. For some random reason, the enemy team decided it would be more fun to throw than win. And therefore they did. They would suicide to turrets, try fighting 1v5, and die to Baron. We won the game and everyone just laughed in post-game.

There are bad times for a game when people just stop trying to do what the whole point of the game is, win competitively. This game is not competitive anymore. It's about who can pick the broken champ in the quadro vs solo queue and force your "quicker game" surrender.
