Why I am done with league.

I have decided to stop playing league after countless hours playing. The game has gotten to a stagnant point and nothing new or fun has really entered the game in a long time. All of the champions are just variations of the same moves and all of my favorite ways to play keep getting removed. For some reason league is against adding more than just their own game modes and maybe introducing modes that allow for more interesting challenges and gameplay; for instance All for One and URF. Both of these were a blast to play and increased my interest in playing significantly.

Once you have played 4000+ games into the same mode you start to realize that you don't really want to keep going when your favorite play style is against the meta and abusing the strongest champs. I generally enjoyed testing champions that didn't belong in the game because they surprised people at the cost of fast leveling or playing in a format that usually wins. If I won or lost, I always enjoyed playing this way but it seems more like league is getting overly user friendly and have all of the champions on a set and forced path, you either build the meta or lose. The game might as well at this point just auto level your skills and buy your items as there are very few alternatives that give you any benefit. Champions should be playable with any set of items and not forced to the same AD or AP set that provides you with very little risk. The game was fun when you could risk everything by buying 6 hats and having over 2000 AP. Now you can't buy the same items without taking a huge hit on your stats and you get punished for being creative.

This game needs to introduce a more dynamic way to play that allows players of all skill levels to play it and gives them the opportunity to forge their own item sets that enhance their own play style. I don't want to go into every game and already know what every player is going to build and exactly how to counter them, I want to have to reactively counter them as the game goes on. Bring back dodge, invisibility, and remove the stupid UNIQUE modifier. Yes certain items can be abused in this way but that is why you are supposed to have items that counter every other item in the game, if they have too much armor then there needs to be pen items, if they have health then there is a damage % item, etc. Stupid builds are what made this game popular and their removal is why I am leaving.

I won't read any comments unless you have constructive criticism and then may respond.

Honestly, it sounds like you're just tired of the game. That happens after a time. It's understandable, and it's also completely normal to try to 'justify' it by finding fault with the game... but the best thing to do is to actually move on.

I hope you find something new to occupy your time like I have and that you can find joy in that. Remember, even if you're tired of league now, the door isn't closed - you can always come back and play again if things change either for you or for the game and you're interested again.

TL;DR; he's bored of the game and wanted to vent about how bored he is.
