After playing since Season 3, I finally quit on this run down game.

I really never thought I would bring myself to uninstall League Of Legends. What started as a game I loved to play for fun with friends, doing random strats in Norms like ARAM with blitzcrank and thresh comps, became a game I took competitively, and last year hit D5, peaking at D3 in pre-season. Finally though, Riot's managed to kill this game for me. Reworks are constantly either so bad, playing them should be a reportable offense, or they are so broken and easy, they are a perma ban. Every single lane but Bot lane has been left to rot and be completely worthless, while brain dead, one button enchanter supports and rageblade adcs, get to just win for free. 10/0 as Talon or Zed mid lane? well the ADC got Tabis and deaths dance, so even after your full burst combo, they'll survive. Win lane as a tank, and go into a team fight with a massive lead? Well the enemy ADC has a rageblade and wits end, so now youre as squishy as an assassin. Finally get a pick on the enemy's ADC? Well a Soraka Ulted across the map, and not only saved her, but saved another ally in a completely different part of rift with a single button. Playing a mage? Laughs If it isn't Anivia, Ryze, or Azir, youre a liability at best.

If I ever catch wind that Riot actually addresses the issues that they've plagued onto this game from two seasons ago, instead of making them worse with every patch, I would definitely come back. But as it stands, Riot has made it clear they only care about sucking off ADC players, and LCS. This game lost what made it special, and is now just awful, poorly balanced garbage where you see the same 5-10 champions banned every game, and if they arent the team that get's them almost guarantees a win.

If you're an assassin main like I had been since Season 3, and you still manage to stand this game, I give you my praise, because somehow you can tolerate how pathetically useless they are in the current game state, unless you're Kha'zix, or depending on the game, Rengar.

It's been a fun 2 years from season 3, but every other year has been infuriating, protect the Caitlyn/Tristana/Twitch/Varus so they can just spam right clicks.

The meta constantly shifts to keep the game fresh and not boring. Certain classes of champions become stronger than others for periods of time. That doesn't mean it's impossible to play champions that are weak though. There are multiple assassin one tricks that are master/challenger at the moment. It's possible to climb and do well with any champion, even if it's more harder to than with others.

The harsh reality is that, you're not doing bad in your plat 4 games because the champion you're playing is weak. LL Stylish would _ shit _ on everyone in your games in your position up until high diamond. You're a Talon main right? There are two Talon challenger one tricks atm, fwii and yamikaze. If they can get challenger and you can't, clearly it's not the game's fault, it's yours.

You have made this post because you were diamond last season and you don't have the same success during this one. You went 3-17 in your last 20 ranked games because you're playing random champions you've never played before. How can you expect to win? Stick with Riven and Talon. You have good win rates on them. You'll climb if you play those 2 champions. Watch twitch streams of high elo players for both of those two champions and try learning a few new things too. Not accepting the blame for things like that prevents you from improving.

For those thinking I'm solely critiquing him and not the argument he made, read my first paragraph.

Upvoted because I am also a Season 3 vet and this needs to be seen. There are so many problems, but the one thing keeping me here is my best friend and its the only way i can actually talk to him.

This game lost what has made it unique and fun. People have been having a hard time with it ever since Azir was made [if you want in-depth, I will probably make a post myself]. The TL;DR is that Riot decided to fire their game balancer at the same time that another Rioter was working on Azir and the game went to shit. Azir has the record for the most bugs on release and also the record for the most bugfixes over 5 years.

Anyways, ever since Azir came out and new Rioters came into play, everything about the game started to change. It was all about how to make top lane viable, but people whined because the whole game didn't matter and it came down to who had the better top in a 5v5 teamfight. Then it was the mages and assassins, but ADC's complained they had no chance in the game if they died to a Rengar in 0.4 seconds (which is actually semi-true to an extent.)

It's the same circle with no end and Riot hasn't fixed most of these problems in around 4 years now. If they really cared about their game, they would try an approach that hasn't been seen yet so at least we would FIX some of the problems, even if it made new ones.

TL;DR Riot hasn't changed a bit and can't learn from their mistakes.

I agree with you they give to every mages wave clear with new items and buffs.They made Support role a most important role if u want win the game u should pick like Janna,Lulu,Soraka if enemy have this supports u lose 99%. i started this game from season 3 the LoL base players are started this game season 3 and they are leaving because of THOUSANDS Shiled supports,THOUSANDS per Gold from support items,THOUSANDS shields from items,THE STUPID LETHALITY,Bone Plating.This game was super fun to play until season 5! and started to dying with s6-s8 i hope they can wake up early!

I love this game and always will :) I have seen this game change many times through it's life if you can't go with the flow then you should probably take a break till you feel comfortable trying it again.

10/0 as Talon or Zed mid lane? well the ADC got Tabis and deaths dance, so even after your full burst combo, they'll survive.

I think I might be living in a different world because what you described there barely ever occurs when I play :l

It's the complete opposite to me, when I play Varus (because he's my favourite champion since mid season 5 not because he's meta) I always get destroyed by any assassin, Zed in particular and the supports that never pick anything that can protect me. So I never really got to experience what you describe :/

Btw i'm not new (this is a new account that I made).

I'm not quitting just yet because I want to come back after the Marksmen patch and see what the games like... I'll assume that it's still snowbally and the game will depend on your weakest link instead of your strongest and the same 10 champs will be pick / banned every game with the same exact build paths.

It seems so hard to fathom how a company works so hard to establish itself only to undermine exactly what it set out to do at the beginning.

You're right about ADCs and supports but implying that winninglnae as tanks is hard is an insult to anyone who plays with mechanically demanding champions. Yeah tanks get melted later in the game by ADC and it happens too fast but tanks aren't inocent either.
