League borrowing from Smite, but won't improve it's own game

I recently started playing Smite again and I've realized that Riot Games is now copying ideas from Smite. They are recreating their champs, mimicking their interface, and yet still hasn't improved the flaws in League of Legends.

I assume that League of Legends will get surpassed soon in terms overall gameplay. The fact that LoL can't even fix it's laggy interface is an issue. Until League improves it's matchmaking and start accurately gauging the skill of players, the game will continue to be full of trolls.

This will be my last season playing League of Legends if it does not improve. I will continue to post updates on my journey from League to Smite. If you haven't tried Smite, you should so you can see what they are doing right and where League of Legends is failing it's players.

Let me guess, they are "copying" things League had first, or stuff Smite used that exists in literally any other game or based on history which means it's not original anyways?

Claims Riot is copying Smite, doesn't provide solid examples and expects everyone else to go do their own research, "threatens" to leave the community if the game doesn't improve.

So long, skippy.

Smite is garbage.... and by the way, almost every single mechanic, UI segment and design in Smite was directly lifted or "inspired by" League of Legends... even the creators of Smite admit that their idea was to take League of Legends and make it "3D".

OP = Fail.

Its impossible to copy from Smite because Smite is using real, pantheon characters. Its like saying LoL is copying from the Egyptian pyramid walls, you can't say that.

I'm going to regret asking: recreating their characters?

Then apply pressure and force these companies to improve their games. Ignoring the problems and flaws and telling others it's their fault helps nothing.
