League today, and a minor rant.
Is not the same. Obviously things change, and riot is working hard to make the game better.
I'm just not really feeling the improvements (Ranked Trolls are prevalent as ever). So maybe its not Riot, but just me. It may be time for me to frame the Summoner Code and hang it on the wall.
Like what is going on with Shyvanna? Where is the counter play? She hides in jungle till Dragon then takes on the enemy team. CC stops her... right.. She is a massive tank with massive damage and a speed steroid with a gap closer. It could just be the devour but since her clear time is insane i don't think the item will ever be balanced for her.
Darius. When he was released he was an insane force of Noxian Testosterone. Welcome back Old Darius.
It used to be adc/apc that did the damage and tanks tanked.
Now the tanks are tanking long enough to run up and erase.
Adcs are barely on the radar as far as carries go. Like they take towers but they certainly cant take on the new juggernauts. Kiting is just running now. The major exception to this is getting fed.
I could just be bitter from ranked. I could be bitter that my brother lost 17 games in a row (many trolled) and lost out of diamond. He isnt that kinda player that just loses 17 games in a row. His rank was so important to him, and now he has quit (And does not like the new direction of league). My other brother hates where league is going and is already moving to HOTS as are most of the people i play with.
Solo Q still feels like a 1 out of 2 chances to get a troll.
I think I kept playing because of the investment i have in the game, and im realizing now its like an addiciton. I thought about league all the time. Wanted to play wanted to play allllll freaking day. Spent too much money on skins. but really. too much. The frustration that comes from a troll when you only have so much time to play.. i guess i cant play competitive anymore, and without my brothers or core group, i may not find my way to league much more and that hurts.
Truth be told we had a good run.
Good luck on the Rift summoners.
