Tilted off the face of the planet.

I got three back to back games of people who just didn't want to win.

There is 0 solo carrying in the game anymore. One of those three games my trist was 17/2 at some point. But all it takes is for one member to not want to play the game for you to lose.

Riot has taken way too much out of the game. The fact that Trist and I lost that game was actually dumb. I was her secondary support/peeler that did tons of damage.

Riot needs to put solo carrying BACK into the game.

When i say solo carrying, I don't mean this bullshit called Snowballing. Or having a overtuned kit that just deletes people because thats what your kits does. (Twitch, Vayne, Shv, Eve, Xin, etc) I mean legit. Morde is very skilled dodged 3 or 4 skillshots, turned around whacked someone in the face a few times because he was just a better player. Not because he autoed him three times for 1.6k damage each auto. Not because one of his skills does 100% max hp true damage.

The game is in such an awful state. That even skilled players winning their lane can lose the game because Riot refuses to accept that the game should be allowed to be solo carried.

In every other comp game out there. You can solo carry in the solo queue experience.

I know Dota you can solo carry. I watched it happen plenty of times.

I know Overwatch you can solo carry. I've done it a few times.

I know CS:GO anyone can solo carry. Its called scripts/bots. Or just being good.

I know starcraft you have to solo carry.

Now I am not saying that a solo carry should have more impact than a 5 man premade on comms.

But what I am saying is that if its a 4 v 5 and you have the numbers (kills, assist, gold, items etc) You should still be able to win the game. I am just simply asking for Riot to stop making such overtuned fucking kits. Stop letting champions like Twitch have 0 detection range before you die. Stop letting champions like vayne 3 shot you right out of invisibility. Stop letting champions like Kha get multi procs of duskblade. Stop letting champions like Akali have ridiculous healing from her Q. Stop champions like Wukong from just one shoting a team. Stop champions like Eve from missing her skillshot but hitting oyu with a hate spike and charming you then insta killing you. Stop champions like Shen and Ornn from having % hp damage + % shields.

I agree somewhat. Champions like Vayne are really annoying to me because her kit gets so much free damage in it. The passive extra damage on silver bolts and the extra damage from ult almost guarentees she just auto wins any kind of 1on1 fight regardless of whether or not the person is any good and if they are good it's even worse. One of the reasons I honestly hate assassins because they are such a binary and busted design. They either snowball and get ahead and delete any squishy with no counterplay whatsoever or they get behind and they can't kill anyone. Duskblade is also a really annoying item because it provides such a ridiculous power spike to many different champions. I have a lot of respect for players that play skillshot based mages or even marksmen that don't have a bunch of free damage/stats built into their kits like Kogmaw/Vayne and the likes because they are squishy and have few defences and positioning is critical.

I don't particularly find assassin players to be skillful or champs that just auto win any kind of 1on1 because.. they just get to. The game feels more like rock/paper/scissors now and it's just about if you can get to that point. It's like oh they have a fed Zed and I'm playing Jinx. I guess I'm just dead no matter what I do because there's literally no counterplay unless you get a GA and that only saves you one time. Even if people try to peel and shield you you generally still die anyways. Im playing Ashe and Vayne and I have the same record... guess I just automatically lose because he's playing Vayne if I ever get caught out in the open.

I think you need to inherently have some kind of rock/paper/scissor design but I feel like it's too far now where scissor can never beat rock no mattter what if you get my drift.

I just kind rambled but yet.. xD
