Any old timers have an extremely short trigger when it comes to league?

I've played since season one over multiple accounts and nowadays i find myself only being able to play 1-2 games a week without being tilted.

Idk maybe its just me but im sure many old timers feel this way.

League is not fun anymore. I only play it because i know what every champion does and can understand what the enemy team is trying to do.

With modern league in 2019, whatever champion is buffed to be obnoxiously overpowered wins the game the vast majority of time. And the vast majority of the time its not the champion that i want to play. I love playing ryze. Hes not broken op like a lot of the mid laners. I love playing Shaco, but he gets dominated by meta junglers.

I HATE the current state of league where there is metas. I absolutely despise it. Theres no competition from other champions if 1 champion is dominant. Its either ban, or lose. If you old timers remember, you could play pretty much anything from season 1-4 (the golden years) of league of legends and still climb if you were good at the champion.

Nowadays if i see a broken champion get ahead in a lane, it puts me on tilt. I know they will take over the game. I know they will gank my side lanes. I know from experience that my team will not ward or watch wards that they do place.

TLDR: Metas have ruined league of legends and if you disagree, you are new to the game. Metas are horrible for the game. It pisses the silent majority (keynote silent) of season 1 players off. But we still play because of the fact that we have played this game when it was good and not a money grab esports sweatfest.

I can't speak on Season 1-4 since I started playing exactly a year ago, but I would think less champs meant less variety and a more stale meta. There weren't preferred team comps or champs viewed as better for getting a win, at all, in S1-4??

They started balancing champions to be fun to play with no regards of how the person that has to verse them feels. Almost every new champion they release has some incredibly cancer shit you have to verse.

I queue up for a top lane game and am forced to first pick, and just get counter picked and the lane is over. I am having no fun at all due to how cancer some of the most played champions are, and finally I decided to just quit.

This game is clearly not getting better and Riot don't give a fuck about their community. Like seriously it's always a meme that the devs don't seem to listen to the community, but Riot has honestly been some of the worst I've ever seen in my 7 years of gaming. They are pulling an activision-blizzard-EA approach and just doing things for money, even if it turns the community against them.

The problem with this is the fact that Riot was SUCH an amazing company, like the best by far. They sold Riot to Tencent, the greedy money whore bastards that just took it and said "make me as much money as possible", and that's why we get 20 little legends every day, passes released every 2 weeks after one ends, game modes like dominion, twisted treeline, and Ascension being removed due to costing them money to make the community happy.

Seriously, Riot-tencent can go fuck themselves and they lost my respect long ago.

when team is too scared to play the game, they're gonna get flamed.
