Why is this game so anti-fun now?

Seriously. You get behind in a game and you can't ever come back because some champions are just so inherently anti-fun to play aganist and have TOO much synergy with every item they build.

I really can't enjoy this game until you remove all the extra bullshit damage that's been included in the masteries/keystones, Riot. It makes me too salty to get out played by 1.5 seconds worth of damage/burst/right-clicking.

Edit: I truly feel like this game is feast or famine. That used to be just a small pool of champions, but now it feels like it's a literal team-epidemic. If you're down 5-10 kills and the enemy team has control of the map on top of it, you can't do anything. You can't safe farm, you can't counter ward, you can't try for a last minute hurrah with an objective.

I thought I should provide less angry feedback since I admit I was mad at the initial time of posting this.

"Just play what you know!"

Okay I'm pretty good at top lane. I'll play safe and ward.

Every single game. 5 minutes in. BotlaneEnemyDoubleKill.jpg. DEFEAT

"well maybe you should adc"

Do well bot but then jg feeds. Top lane dies 4 times pre 20. DEFEAT.

Okay, i'll play jungle.

Before you clear your first rotation, bot lane feeds 2 kills.

I swear to god there's literally nothing I can do anymore. Games are decided by whoever gets the slightest lead. I've been playing since mid s2 and this is the worst state the game has ever been in and it's absolutely fucking disgusting to play right now with the amount of snowball. Damage is too damn high and turrets are wet paper towels.

I stopped seriously playing once they removed Yoricks identity as a minionmancer.

people have been saying this for years. if you don't like it quit. or at least play less like i do.

i find coming back to league after all the dynamic queue bullshit is over, playing once every couple of months and not spending any money on the game is actually pretty refreshing

In the past, people have had issues with certain champions and what not ... but least it was a select few. Now? Not even 10 bans is enough to stop the snowbally effect that happens. A little lead is enough to throw the game out of balance and screw a team completely over. Keystones, masteries, and weak towers are to blame for this in my opinion.

As long as the meta currently continues to give champions power spikes / power creeping, we will never have a good meta. It makes me want to stop playing ranked because i'm SO SICK of 4 man gank bots and them taking my first tower within 5-10 minutes. What is this? That's not strategy that's exploiting the game's flaws that Riot refuses to fix or improve ....

The game has always been anti-fun. You've just been playing long enough to notice the cracks in the system.
