Nope. Every match I play feels like a coin toss where I can do nothing to alter the outcome. The sheer amount of rage this game feeds me isn't too healthy, either.

The Entire game is based on if the adc is good/ does better than the other one, or if the jg is good enough to carry bot. (I am top main)Top and mid are just side lanes that afk farm until the coin is flipped for win/lose win lane or not it is always based on bot lane. I have had games where I get a triple take drag and baron and then lose cause bot is still 5 levels behind from early game stomp-age. Honestly if you wanna win as a top laner just pick laners that can Directly help bot lane, IE Gangplank ult, shen ult, gnar tp and ult, pantheon ult, etc. just my opinion though.[sg-janna]

This game turns me into a toxic mess

I wanna have fun while playing ranked, but it's impossible to have fun playing this game with the intent of winning, because you know your contribution to the game only amounts to a 20% chance of you winning

20% skill 80 % luck if we only calculate my team. In reality its 10 % skill and 90 % luck since we have to calculate the enemy skill level as well not just our teams. You can only increase your chance to 10 %

Ok sure but whyApr 18, 20185 votes

Yeah, being able to shut at least one person on their team makes it a bit easier, but that always means nothing when they start typing "Lol lose lane win game" after my bot lane feeds

A lot of people feel your pain esp silver + it gets super toxic. A lot of my favorite streamers left because of it.

There's the 90% of the people on the forums who don't have fun, because they complain every day. Then there's the 10mil players that play per day that don't whine and actually are having fun. The forum is frequented by a tiny fraction of the playerbase. The forum's opinion does not reflect the LoL playerbase as a whole. At all.

Why bother giving an honest answer when you get downvoted to hell unless you’re bitching about ADCs?

KuraSeiApr 19, 20184 votes

Even when I go 14-2-10 on my favorite champion and win the game, I have no fun. Because I know in a few games the coin toss wont be in my favor

WiegrafOfValorApr 19, 20184 votes

I'm winning a lot cause I'm a support main, but no, I'm not having fun for more than 2 years.

And I really like the world of runeterra, the characters, the game controls, and mobas in general. But this balance team is really driving me to quit my favorite game.

According to the forums, no.

GhaelWindsApr 19, 20183 votes

Yea I'm having fun. Fighters are actually fine now so I'm ok.

Also I think that only the worst player matters if you're at your plateau. I've been going through and fixing my flex rank (I'm a plat player but had a silver 3 flex). So I took this time to get good at Irelia and I can consistently carry by myself even if the team is bad.

I uninstalled a handful of games into this season since none of the balancing issues were addressed.

Sure, the community is toxic. All video game communities are. It's something we get when we sign up tbh (you can't just expect to play a game and have everyone respect you even if ur doing horrible at the certain game, it just won't happen).

I am having fun with this game though, and probably will for a long time.

FutureCreatorApr 19, 20182 votes

Ehh, not really. I mean sure you get toxic players in all games, but League really brings out the worst in people I feel. Being team dependant, while also being able to single-handedly lose the game for your team really makes people act a lot worse to each other.

From experience I have learned that Fortnite pisses me off more than League, but that's just me. Hence the reason why I stopped playing Fortnite... too rage inducing.

FutureCreatorApr 19, 20182 votes

The game's turned me toxic. I used to be really chill about wining and losing, but after countless of games where I either get flamed for losing my lane or I win my lane, but lose the game because of someone else's refusal to cooperate, I've become twitchy and get angry and toxic over the smallest things.

Malicious FuryApr 19, 20182 votes

Nope. That's why I haven't played in months. (and because I have a huge backlog of games I'm working on that are way more fun)

You would think after the Ahri changes i would go back to playing mid lane, but nope there is zero point doing that when i can just stomp the enemy bot lane this hard when i have a decent adc to play with.

Better bot lane wins, screw the solo laners.

My buddy who is a big league junkie(the type with surrender at 20 as their homepage), just deactivated his account after getting chat banned again because he was calling out the trolling jungle. We have gotten quite tired of league turning into a roll of the dice. I've been a jungle main since mid season 3(first season for me) and I am absolutely done with every lane blaming a jungler when they int to their laner or constantly get ganked because of overextending. The only reason I'm still playing this disaster, is that I finally switched my role to adc, so learning it and laning in general has given me something fresh to play with.

Burns MasterApr 19, 20181 votes

In a game where deaths actually matter a lot, you can actually pass blame onto people. Sometimes its justified, sometimes not.

But the point still stands, people can single-handedly lose you the game, even if they're not trying to. With hard counters existing, there's always going to be cases of somebody who's trying their hardest, and still ends up losing you the game, because somebody on the enemy team got fed off a champ that can curbstomp whoever fought your teammate and hard countered them.

I've been playing since late season 4, but only now have I noticed this problem a few months back.

NewBlueWorldApr 20, 20181 votes

Literally could not say it any better my dude. The worst part is it obviously enhances toxic behaviours, so the game became even more toxic altogether. I've been playing for so long (since season 2), still a scrub, but damn the game is just not fun anymore. Heck at the end I started wanting to dodge the second I was picking my top before my enemy, just so they don't counter pick you. It's always the same scenario:

Play your goddamn best Make a mistake or two, sometimes not even That's it, you lost the game for your team, now they'll be toxic for the rest of it You wanna surrender? No way lol, they'll keep voting no to troll you further

I feel this way too. Champs should obviously have their advantages and disadvantages in lane and in teamfights. However, even if people think that laning doesn't matter anymore, should you fall behind and you wont have much to contribute later in the game. This is especially true with some of the outdated champs.

Started playing Rengar again so I could run around instagibbing ADCs and Enchanter supports. Am having fun again :D

StoneSparrowApr 19, 20181 votes

If you dont play the meta you are trolling. All my favorite champions are garbage, and im losing the game for my team in champ select if I choose them. One mistake and im getting flamed all game long. Playing safe all ganking phase game until my adc hits 2 items and then its group 5 till the game is over. So boring atm i havent played in a week now.

As a silver player, yes, this game is quiet enjoyable.

Honeydew ZeklingApr 19, 20181 votes

I still have fun. But when my team gets super negative just bashing LoL and Riot.... and then proceed to make questionable plays because they don't care... and the fed enemies start 1 shotting me.... then I stop having fun.

ReyndriaApr 19, 20181 votes

It's legit become "whoever gets tilted first decides the game" unless you're in like super high elo. Like, I know the games I play poorly, but when your teammates start telling you about it constantly, spam pinging you every time you do literally ANYTHING, and worst case start inting your lane...when people want to go THAT FAR out of their way to make sure you know that in that one game, you sucked, there's literally no point to continuing that game...you can't leave games like that without being slapped with the low queue, and of course they won't ff when you start the vote, cause they're getting their kicks off shitting on your day.

Riot can't even balance their champions, so it's not like you can expect the miracle of understanding people's distorted psychology of feeling like you MUST show your power over SOMEONE no matter what.

tysupApr 20, 20181 votes

I've been playing since late season 5 and I think the game is pretty fun. Maybe it's because I feel the need to make worth of the extreme amount of money I put into this account, but aside from the flaming shit and just casual things everyone hates on, I've been having a good time playing this game

PANAGIA PARTHENAApr 20, 20181 votes

/mute all, /mutepings all.That's how i do it.That's when i get to play the game and not sit under tower for 10mins waiting for the jungler to fuck off.
