Well thats it, a message from a season 3 player.
This game has just fallen, I know it's another thread bitching about the game and if you're sick of hearing it, leave. I know this will get like 500 downvotes and disagreements, just wanted to state my opinion on the current state of the game before I leave it, I'm not really going to talk about my past in league so yea and I don't think anyone would care, also please try to read it in gradeundera's voice, thanks.
Remember back at season 4 - 5 how wins and losses actually meant something, like if you lose you're supposed to get better and blame your jungle (kappa) and when you win and you just feel satisfied. Now when you win a game or lose you don't feel any different, same old bullshit. You win lane then comes team fight and your rocking those and guess what 1 fight and their team gets to end the game, wow thats fun.
Like I understand that come backs from fights are good but is a 60 second death timer even fair? 1 fuck up in a game and it's all over, there is no other ways to end a game. Just wait for the their team to fuck up one fight and you win. Just played yi the other day and carried a game, and that shit wasn't even fair. I had a zed just destroy me at level 6 as mage and theres riot just sitting there and adding a fucking assassin item for what reason? Apparently assassins don't have a variety of items. It's useless to ranked, apparently you need to have friends to rankup, theres literally nothing called solo q anymore.
Theres literally a bias towards AD for some reason, I've barely played against any mages other then fucking Britney Spears(lux) and some flower lover. It's boring in the mid lane, and we have marksmen going top lane and jungle, honestly I respect that we are trying new things but why are we still allowing this well of course who even wants to play bot anymore, if you are a late game champ like Vayne go for it but most of the time I find bot lane just a feeding role, like assassins are just taking over and sated junglers. Those two, if I had a dollar every time I see a yi and zed together in a game I'd have enough to buy the LCS. Now the LCS, I remember where a variety of champions were played back in season 3 and 4 making plays and just making history in league of legends. Now we have two teams running around then if one of them gets caught, boom, same champs being played constantly and you can really just tell who's going to win
Riot this is YOUR game, stop denying what people tell you on the boards, yes, graves needs his cigar, mages are not in the best spot, yi is broken, buff urgot, make more bans. You need to take pride of your game, the legend you have created is falling, so far you added hextech chests, and going to be adding weekly game modes and the mage update but honestly look at your gameplay, look at the rift. Make some changes to towers so they can't be useless and buff the champions that NEED IT and nerf the champions that NEED IT not the opposite, I literally face palmed my self when you buff Xin Zhao alone.
Riot man I use to be so happy with this game, the love for it is really gone and I wish to have it back some time, maybe another time (ill be back for urf lol) but please, fix this game.
Edit: "Mages are outdated" to "Mages are not in the best spot"
.... also worth noting, Riot is doing a Mage update this year for the mages that are currently underperforming.
