Dynamic queue, keystone masteries and removal of green wards.

These are the 3 stupidest things to have ever happened to this game.

Dynamic queue = Stupidly unbalanced matchmaking, horrible queue times for everyone but support and destruction of any competitiveness for solo players. I was diamond last season. I got to diamond 4 90+ lp playing solo before the season ended. I played solo because my friends were not "on my level" so to speak. I played normals with them when we played together.

But now, I'm stuck in Plat 3/2 and I honestly I don't feel like trying anymore. I'm constantly getting matched with players that have silver/gold borders and they are not even close to being even plat level players. These guys have clearly been queuing with higher tier friends and have been carried to plat. Now they are in my games feeding their asses off. I've even played a game where a 4 man premade surrendered at 20 minutes. Don't know why. Kills were even, cs was quite even. Towers were even. This 4 man premade randomly stopped trying and instantly surrendered at 20. Nice system you have here riot.

Also, toxicity(which riots claims they hate) is on the highest level I've ever seen. All of these people who are playing against players who are clearly better than them is causing them to rage and whine. They play with friends and they win. They play solo and feed, rage and lose. My last 2 games I've had intentional feeders who think they are better than everyone else. 2 games. 2 intentional feeders. Both saying they will report someone because they "suck".

I regularly sit in queue for 15-20 minutes, only to be matched with a plat solo player and a diamond/gold/silver premade. This is not a balanced, equally skilled team. Waiting 15-20 minutes to play a game with that premade, instead of waiting 2-4 minutes to get matched with players of my level like in the last season. EVEN if I didn't get my preferred roles 100% of the time, I would still prefer the old system. Dynamic queue is a failure.

Keystone masteries. What a fucking failure these things are. We've had champion reworks, item changes and map changes before. We may have not liked some of them. Most of the "juggernauts" were way too powerful when they got reworked. A lot of the items were too good on certain champions. But, champions and items can be and WERE nerfed.

Then, riot introduces keystone masteries. 1 patch and suddenly some champions became r%%%%%edly op. Some completely balanced champions became trash, because now champions that went even with them can just pick X mastery, build X op item and the skill match up that it used to be is now a stomp in favor of the other. Take Zed for example. Before the mastery changes he was a quite balanced champion. Win rate correlating with experience on the champion like it should. Then comes thunderlords. Zed just got a huge damage boost to his burst. He got extra damage added to his ult pop so it takes less effort to assassinate someone. Now I see zed banned in 95% of my games. And when he is not banned, someone picks him. Always.

Or this grasp of the undying tank meta, where full tanks building only iceborn gauntlet as their "damage item", continue to deal the highest damage in their teams while also taking 10 times longer to kill than anyone else. Honestly I don't understand why people don't just pick 5 tanks. ADCs who used to be the "counter" to these full tank cc machines can barely damage them anymore. The LW nerf made sure of that. The only reason this tank meta exists is because grasp of the undying is a broken mastery.

Some balanced champions are now trash because some other, used to be balanced champion now completely obliterates him in lane, only because of the mastery he chose.

Last topic.

Green ward removal. Ok riot, why? Like seriously why? Wards were in the game since the beginning. First you make pink wards visible to everyone. Then you remove oracles elixir so it's harder to clear enemy wards. Then suddenly you remove green wards from the shop and now my map is dark. There's a couple pinks in the map, but they get taken down within the next couple minutes because the enemy jungler finds them. Now I have no pink, and I have no green. I can't buy them so I have to use the crappy trinket ward.

What is it with the hatred for vision seriously? Or are we all just supposed to buy a sightstone on every champion now? Why can't I decide if I want to be safer and buy a couple green wards and potions instead of buying another long sword?

This game is starting to take a ridiculous turn and I feel the "mid season magic" changes are literally going to be a final nail in the coffin for me. The idea of the randomly changing dragons disgusts me. The new items and champion changes honestly make me question if riot is actually TRYING to destroy their game. Like as if riot is tired of maintaining league and they just want people to quit.

Get your shit together riot.

Oh and also 1 more thing. Can you please stop buffing champions for no other reason than "this champion isn't played enough durr"? These champions aren't played because they don't fit the meta or they just have bad kits that need reworks. Slapping more damage on a champion and calling it a day is stupid.
