League has jumped the shark
insert Fizz joke here
Season 6 has simply brought about too much change. Because of the drastic change, it's become easier to see the direction League is taking. It's just not the same game that first sucked me in back in Season 2.
Macro skills are almost non-existent. Remember when knowing jungle timers was a skill that could separate a good jungler (or laner, for that matter) from a great one? Remember when it was a skill to know how to balance gold spent on vision in addition to other items? Remember when the ability to play ALL ROLES successfully was a requirement to climb consistently? None of this is necessary anymore.
League of Legends, as currently played, best serves one-trick ponies with 2-3 friends who never bothered to buy sight wards anyway. You can queue up with a group, play the one champ that you know really well at the one role that you know really well and climb quickly through pubstomping randoms. Boosting, something that has always been frowned upon, is enabled (and one could even argue encouraged, given the incentives for playing with friends).
Only the hyper-mobile champions are viewed as viable and successful. Riot's solution to less successful champions (e.g. Mages) is to make them hyper-mobile. Can you even imagine how the rift is going to look after the Mage "rework" with the new mobility item? It's going to look like Call of Duty with everyone dashing everywhere and killing or dying almost instantly. Let's not even pretend like Ezreal isn't going to find some way to abuse the item and get it nerfed.
Solo players, if our queue doesn't return, are going to leave. The new player experience, unaddressed for years, is too weak for anyone to expect that a new generation of league players will stick long enough for the whole dynamic club ideal to take root.
The most fun I've had in League in the past month has been in Bot games. People don't flame each other. Everyone can be legendary. It doesn't take 10-20 minutes to start a game. Bot games is where I started, and probably where I'll end.
