Make a list of 20 things you hate in League of Legends

Love it or hate it, we keep coming back to this game. But even amongst those of us who love it, there are things about the game we hate.

So put up your list of top 20 things you hate in League of Legends.

Just so I'm doing something, here's my own list. This is personal opinion, so take appropriate NaCl.

#Moderate Inconveniences

20. The lack of a "Warded" ping. Because the "Danger" and "Caution" pings are open to misinterpretation and you shouldn't be typing "Warded" because typing is bad for the game.

19. When those Scuttle Crabs start the game with 1060 HP instead of 800 HP. It just grates on me because if I'm playing a slow-clearing tank it takes that much longer to kill my first Crab.

18. Wards. Constantly spoiling your ganks and making you wonder whether or not the enemy is actually maphacking. And it always feels like your enemy has more of them than you could ever have.

17. The Rune System. I dunno about you, but I find the Rune system isn't very good for gameplay these days. There's virtually no variety in what people do with it, and it all boils down to micro-optimizations. Fortunately, Riot is probably gonna rework it soon.

16. When people ban Lux. There are so many other worthwhile Champions to pick for your ban, so why ban her? It's such a waste when you can counter her with Fizz, Gragas, or a variety of other Champions.

#Serious Annoyances

15. Getting called away from a match because of chores or something else. This is unavoidable, and my parents simply don't care about any punishments I get towards the game because they are anti-gaming. It also doesn't help that I can't afford my own living space, but them's the breaks.

14. Leavers. No one likes leavers because they ruin what could otherwise have been a good game. Knowing they'll be punished AFTER the fact doesn't help things.

13. Getting chain-CC'd. Even if you have a load of Tenacity (i.e. you're Irelia with Mercury's), you simply can't get out of it. People will always say "you dun fucked up" when it happens to you, and even though it might be true that doesn't make it any less annoying.

12. Knock-ups and knock-backs. Bar Banshee's Veil or CC immunity effects, you can't counter them or reduce them. It doesn't help that they're also really prevalent by this point because Riot dislikes the other CC's compared to displacement effects.

11. Players who always default to "this guy sucks" even when it's a case of "having a bad game". Some players are just assholes who won't believe you when you claim you're having bad luck, and you either have to kick ass or be gang-reported by them for "intentionally feeding". Thankfully, Riot tends not to take these guys seriously.

#Major Frustrations

10. Teemo. Everyone hates Teemo and we all know why. Between his mines and his blind, ganking him is usually unfeasible, and he can cause a world of grief for most top-laners. At least he's not good in team fights, but you can't ignore him either.

9. Yasuo. I really don't like dealing with a good Yasuo, and I'm sure none of you do either. Between his extremely high agility, Wind Wall, and getting a huge powerspike upon finishing 2 crit items, he's a painintheass. He's not impossible to handle, but fighting him always feels like an uphill battle.

8. The uselessness of Thornmail. Even when you get it against a team of 4 AA-heavy Champions, this item remains a piece-of-shit. MR and lifesteal counter it, and you need too many different stats to make it even borderline effective. Even with Rammus or Malphite, this thing keeps letting me down.

7. Players who get mad at you because you didn't gank their lane. Maybe I didn't have any openings or maybe another lane was in trouble, but they don't care. You didn't gank for them and so they're either gonna flame you all day or they'll throw the game, all because you didn't consider them the center of the universe. At least in this case you can leave them to die if they're being a bitch to you.

6. Turrets. Pretty much the epitome of "useless", turrets tend to only work against you, regardless of which side they're on. If you're doing the dive, they seem to hit you like a truck all the time. If you're trying to hug them, they're always worthless. And oftentimes they'll leave you wishing you could just kill your own turrets for their incompetence.

#Rage-Quit Worthy

5. Getting your jungle dominated by the enemy. Imagine this: your team is getting pushed back, you're the jungler, and you need to farm for items. But every entrance to your jungle will either be warded or guarded, and trying to retake control becomes a suicide mission. Pretty much no matter what you do, your jungle area is lost. This just makes you want to surrender or leave.

4. When enemies use Flash to dodge your CC skillshots as they dive you. Seriously, when that happens, you just want to strangle that guy, especially if that Flash leads to you dying. It's even worse when they use Flash instead of some other ability that could've achieved the same result.

3. Getting Baron Nashor stolen. When you see that happen, you want to kill the player who did it, and not in an in-game sense. They might die for it, but that doesn't help the fact that your team just fought Baron Nashor for nothing, and now the enemy team can't be pushed. What a bitch.

2. When enemies survive fights with 1 HP. Seriously, why don't they bleed out? All it would take is one minion poking them to finish the job, but nope, the enemy survives by the skin of their teeth and now they're taunting you over it, and there's nothing you can do to shut them up (not even muting).

1. When enemies seem to ignore your defenses without a Last Whisper or Void Staff. Oh look, you have over 200 armor and 3k health? Sorry, but even though their ADC doesn't have his/her ArPen item, they're still gonna tear you apart like you have 0 resists. It oftentimes leaves me hating Riot's philosophy that offense must outscale defense at all times, but nothing is gonna change that. On the flipside, whenever YOU try to kill someone who's tanky, even with ArPen, they never seem to die. It's kinda bullshit when that sort of thing happens.

#Honorable Mentions

• Players who don't take your threats seriously and troll you for it.

• Players who steal your buff camps.

• Players who t-bag you.
