Is Anyone Else Hating League Right Now?

So a while back I posted something similar to this and after taking some time off of League I thought things would be better. Clearly I was wrong since I;m posting this. Even more, I can only assume many people have their own reasons, whether some are similar or different, to why they hate the game right now. But for me it's a couple of reasons right now:

  1. Worlds and LCS - As usual the time for LCS is upon us and many of us watch the same teams pretty much battle each other out with the same small majority of champions. To me this is boring, but if you enjoy watching it that's fine. I just have no preference in watching the same teams battling in a best 2 out of 3 or whatever with a near identical team comp every game. However, Riot has decided that this year they want to add diversity to the LCS. I'm up for this, but the way they thought of going through this was gutting champions that were either in an OK or shitty spot all because their presence in pro play is immense. Seriously, Shen's laning is now weaker then before when the only real reason he's seen in pro is because of his ult, which is probably where Riot should be nerfing him. At the same time, Rek'Sai was just getting nerf after nerf and now possibly her armor and armor growth are being nerfed because once again she has a large presence in pro play, most like due to her tunnel system and again I wonder why Riot isn't applying nerfs to that area of her. I really do want diversity and a larger majority of champions to be picked in worlds, hell it actaully may convince me to start watching, but heavily nerfing champions that were already struggling is not the way to go. I feel like Riot's logic is that "if we nerf these champions a few weeks before and during worlds, the pros will pick something else right?" WRONG! Just because you nerf a champion during this time doesn't automatically mean the pros are going to pick something else. They've probably been practicing with those champions for a majority of the year for this event, thus they're still most likely going to play them for the rest of worlds because they haven't really practiced with anyone else. Hell I even doubt that these champions are going to see pro play again after this worlds is over if the nerfs keep going like this.

  2. ** Certain Champions and Champion Balances **- There are just so many champions in the game that absolutely infuriate me just by playing against them, no matter what. Yasuo is probably the biggest example right now. Yes I know he got nerfed so tank yasuo won't be that big of a thing as of right now, but even with that I still don't feel like it was that big of a hit. All it did was remove one annoying build path to him. Other then that, he can still dash around you will little effort if you have minions nearby and can just cockblock an entire enemy team with his windwall if your team has a lot of projectiles. Even other champions like Ekko piss me off. Riot thinks that knocking off a small AD from his is still going to stop people from building some sort of AD brusier on him. IMO I don't think that's going to do much. He can still teleport to you with his E, can massively slow you down and just reset your work of killing him just with one press of R and evade you at the same time. Even more, some of my favorite champions that are in an OK spot are getting nerfed to little to no reason. Cho'Gath, my very first champion that I ever bought and overall still have a place in my heart and roster, is pretty much getting a nerf to his silence. Why? Silences are pretty much soft CC compared to blinds, roots, stuns, suppressions, and even knock ups. On top of that, you can always get tenacity, QSS, you can still use autos and move. And yet Riot is calling silences "unfair"? No no no no no. Kalista with her infinite hops is unfair. Ekko, as stated above, is unfair. Yasuo, again with stated about his windwall, is unfair. How can you say that Cho'Gath is unfair when there are so many other examples of champions who are actually unfair? It really is starting to piss me off at this point!

3.** Ranked** - This is more of a personal thing and probably me just getting extremely bad luck but my last ranked games have been horrendous. As of right now I'm Silver III trying to make the climb into Gold, at least until I make it into V. Not because I want to prove to everyone that I'm not a Silver scrub but rather I want to prove to myself that I'm not a silver scrub. In one I was forced to play support but the enemy jungler came down to literally camp us for 8 minutes in, practically won bot lane, and we were forced to surrender. Others I tried playing my mains or champions that I know very well. Every time they just had a better team comp or we just didn't communicate that well. And now going on a ridiculously long lose streak has actually caused me to become afraid anytime I start going into ranked because I fear the same thing is just going to happen again and I'll soon get demoted and have to work back up the list again. I even checked to see who my opponents were after the matches and most of them on the team turned out to already be in gold! Just......WTF?! And I don't want to sound like a complete bitch or wuss but after my last match in ranked I literally began to cry. I've been on this huge lose streak for so long that I don't even feel confident in playing normals that much anymore, fearing that the same effect will just start again. It's gotten that bad for me. I'm pretty much stuck in Silver hell.

These overall are my reasons for why I hate League at the moment. If this gets downvoted, fine whatever. I just want to express my opinion on the game at this current moment and see if other people feel the same way. Because if this continues I really am considering about quiting League. Hell, I think the only reason I continue to play is because Riot has created this great world for many story possibilities and just false hopes I have that the game will become fun again.
