It's like Riot is on a competition

How to fuck up League of Legends even faster

context I guess

Adc's decide every game, they're broken, their itemization is broken, toplane is an afk pick any tank and hope your botlane carries-lane, bruisers suck, conqueror sucks, PTA sucks, Bork and Black Cleaver suck, everything that doesn't immediately impact botlane sucks. Skill expression is consistenly being removed from the game and winning games is punished by the infamous, losing streak generating, matchmaking. Junglers still don't have to farm their jungle and aren't punished for afking in lanes, playmaking and carrying is considered the incorrect playstyle.

I could go on for another hundred paragraphs.

POPULAR STREAMERS ARE QUITTING THE GAME HOW CAN PEOPLE STILL DEFEND THESE DESIGN CHOICES

Riot knows botlane is broken. Riot knows their game is in a shit state and they know streamers are quitting because of it. Yet the issue is being neglected.

God forbid someone doesn't sugar-coat critique on the boards/Reddit. I really respect the Rioter's who take the time and courage to reply to threads, but they need to realize League is literally dying. (I don't care about Chinese statistics)

If Tyler wouldn't frequently stream for 20k, 15h/day, League would consistently be fourth/fifth on Twitch. BUT HEY IT'S NOT DYING, A DECREASING VIEWER COUNT IS NOT DYING, GUYS STREAMERS QUITTING AND OPENLY ADMITTING THAT LEAGUE ISN'T ENJOYABLE TO THEM ANYMORE DOESN'T MEAN THE GAME IS IN A BAD STATE or something

god damn it..

I hope to be proven wrong about Conqueror, but the way I see it is, trades don't extend for 4 seconds in the earlygame, while in the later stages dueling becomes irrelevant. Also PTA probably just outperforms Conqueror.
