I get more enjoyment from watching League now, instead of playing

I am not sure if it's just the new season and the changes, but I don't feel anything from the wins anymore; but the losses still hit as hard. It's more champ choices now VS skill. Trying to lane against a counter champ should be difficult, instead of borderline impossible. Games were possible to carry with skill alone; now every new character is chalked full of CC ensuring all they have to do is stun you and kill you, while the rest of your team runs circles in the jungle.

The toxicity is at an all time high; and I know players are being punished more, but with the influx of new players; it doesn't matter. I don't care if the person gets punished, he's already destroyed my game. Next game, it happens again, THAT guy gets punished.....but I still don't care, cause he's also already ruined my game. You can't weed all of the toxicity out of this game, so it feels like every game is still a toss up whether you lose straight from someone being a dick from a first blood and setting the team off. It's honestly becoming a waste of time.

Watching LCS and seeing the pros try to play around Riots changes and horrible balance is the only entertaining thing these days. It's too frustrating for me to attempt to wade through the cesspool League has become; so it's almost comical to see the pros attempt to juggle it.

See, it's the opposite for me. I don't know how anyone can stand to watch the LCS, but I love actually playing the game myself. It's kinda like baseball.

Your last paragraph pretty much contradicts the rest of your statement. Things like lane swaps to avoid unfavorable matchups have been a thing for years now. Even back then when you only needed "skill" to win the matchups. If fact its absolutely wrong because LCS players almost always play what ever balance favors at the moment.

Over all the rest of you post just seems like an exaggeration. Toxicity is at an all time high? You realize you get punished worse now than ever for that right? Also counters are impossible to lane against? In solo que?
