3 Weeks After I Quit
I decided to play a match of normal draft to see if any has gotten better. I que up, go through 3 random dodges that all happened before the 2nd champ was banned. Only 3 dodges, which is less than what is was 3 weeks ago, so whatever. Game goes normally and is fine except for the fact that a single champion's toxic kit along with a toxic item single handedly carried his team. I'm talking about
and
. We lost a teamfight about 30 minutes in and our Ryze tried defending against tryndamere, but he got 1v1ed under both nexus towers. Tryndamere didn't leave the towers range after Ryze died, he lifestealed off minions while taking damage from both turrets until his team came and ended.
On a side note I tried Dota 2. I thought it would be somewhat similar to League, but it's really different. Only played 2 hours so far, but here's my impression.
-
Dota 2's tutorial is actually useful and teaches you how to play unlike League's piece of shit. I'm sorry but it really did make me angry seeing how informative Dota 2's tutorial is compared to Leagues. I've heard people say League is more accessible to casual players, but based on my experience Dota 2 is far more accessible based on tutorial merit alone.
-
Death timers are long, but you can pay gold to respawn immediately sometimes, not entirely sure how it works.
-
Towers is Dota 2 don't seem to do much damage, but they seem tough, like they're not cardboard cutouts like League's.
-
The camera and movement commands take some getting used to but are pretty similar to League's.
-
I can't speak for character balance because I haven't played much yet, but you don't have to buy champions and you can try them out in a sandbox mode, it's unfucking real. I never thought I'd say this about free to play games, but I feel like League is the moba for poor people because of it's lack of features.
I want to play League I really do, but it has countless problems with it's gameplay and everything else that's not gameplay. At this point everything in League looks like one big disaster that I want nothing to do with, and Dota 2's looking really good. I might even try HOTS.
Even if League does massively improve, I'm not sure if I should play a game made by a company like Riot. Riot as a company doesn't seem to give a shit about it's playerbase. If Riot started making changes to improve the game it would most likely be because too many people are quitting, and not because it's the right thing to do.
Guess I'll just wait another 3 weeks, or months, or uninstall.
