I honestly fucking hate this game and this company.

Niyumi··3 votes·1,036 views

I'm just sick of it all. The absolute bullshit state of "balance," the greed Riot shows every day (I'd even call it gluttony, but then that word has no meaning anymore anyway), the piss poor community this game has, the fact that any champion I enjoy is non viable, the fact that the easiest champs are by far the strongest, the terrible matching system, the bugs left and right... I am just beyond tired of this shitty company that the gimme generation went and enabled.

But, unfortunately, that same gimme generation also killed off the entire gaming industry and entertainment as a whole, so now everything is built to pander to fucking autistic monkeys who can hardly function, but have plenty of money to throw at shiny things. So, as much as I hate this shitty cash grab of a game, there's nothing else that I can waste away my time on.

There are so many things I wish I could say to Beck and Ma (Riot and Tencent CEOs), but I'd likely be banned and all that. So, as is the way of society these days, I just have to silently sit here and stomach all the bullshit that morons around me create.

Thanks gimme generation. Thank you for destroying my childhood hobby (gaming) and ripping away everything I enjoyed in life. ^^

You're ranting to a group of people who take time out of their day to not only play this game, but to read and discuss topics in relation to a game in effort to improve it's quality ...

You expect us to share your hatred for the game and its developers?

It's not so much the game I hate, it's the state of the game, and the assholes who run it.

Then stop playing if you hate it so much. You whine and cry about anything and everything, and frankly, one, it's annoying, and two, no one cares.

Trust me, if I had anything else to do, I would not touch this "game" with a mile long fucking stick.

And I know no one cares, especially since 99% of the playerbase of this game is part of the group of people who destroyed the entire gaming industry. But, venting and being hated by everyone who reads it beats bottling everything up to the point I explode.

Mind sharing that tinfoil?

Niyumi1 votes

There is no tinfoil involved. A large group of people, who really have no business playing games in the first place, praised and worshiped F2P, since it allowed them to play games when they couldn't otherwise. Realizing how much money they could make off of this group (called whales), gaming companies started catering to them, making everything easier, rewarding incompetence, and making sure skilled players couldn't be better than them.

So, in the name of wonderful greed, we turned an industry of passion into one of greed. No longer is gaming a way to share stories and ideas, now it's just a big cash grab that everyone wants to get their hands on.

OK... Now care to connect the dots on what advantages Whales have over us normal players in League?

They don't have any advantage over me, as best I can tell. You can't even argue "new champions" as those don't give an advantage any more than Annie or Poppy do.

I'd be more concerned with companies that charge $60 for a game that doesn't live up to the price tag, which then you have to buy DLC to finish the story or add key features. Yes, some companies do Free To Play poorly, but other companies do Pay To Play just as poorly.

It's not that the whales have an advantage, it's that the game is built to cater to people who can't be bothered to lift a finger, and to cater to people who like big boobs and edgy samurais. There will never be balance in this game, because that wouldn't be lucrative for Riot / Tencent. So, the champs popular with whales will always be the strongest, and the more complex champs that the whales can't play will never be allowed to compete (how many complex champs have you seen in Worlds so far? Hm.).

Yes, DLC is an issue as well, but it's along the same lines as F2P. Way back when, DLC was called an expansion, and it added almost an entire new game to the game you already had. Then companies got greedy, and tried to give as little as they could while charging as much as possible -- they knew they'd make money since F2P was so popular.

If that was the case, wouldn't there be a way to pay for a level 30 account? New players regularly complain about how the game it's swarming with smurfs and bots at their level. The bots (how you'd get to 30 without lifting a finger) get banned, so Riot's forcing these players to grind for IP/EXP to actually get a playable account. Yeah, there's experience and IP boosters, but if that was enough we'd never have bots in the first place.

and to cater to people who like big boobs and edgy samurais. There will never be balance in this game, because that wouldn't be lucrative for Riot / Tencent.

You know, there's a long standing joke in the community: a champion just got a skin, they're now going get a nerf. It kinda flies in the face of your idea that since champions never get balanced. There's never been just one type of champion that's been strong based on their model.

So, the champs popular with whales will always be the strongest, and the more complex champs that the whales can't play will never be allowed to compete (how many complex champs have you seen in Worlds so far? Hm.).

You mean champions that the pros abused to high heaven got nerfed into the ground and they can't play them any more? Because that's what happened to Kalista, Kindred, and Azir.

Syndra was played by one pro before Worlds, Power of Evil. Jayce was unseen in EU, Kennen was a rare pick, you rarely saw a Lee Sin, etc. These Worlds picks are a result of the patch that happened right before Worlds, same as last year's which resulted in Juggernauts being permabanned.

"Complex kits" just mean that the average player won't be able to get the most out of them, but that they'll get nerfed because of the pros.

Wow... I´m really impressed how much a game troubles ppl... furthermore a F2P game... This is definitaly life on the brink :P (do you say it that way in English?) Or first world problems... Be happy that you have a choice everyday on what you can spend your time for... and if you choose LoL... deal with it or leave it!!! There´s surely nobody holding a gun to your head pulling the trigger if you would not. Complaining here will not change anything to how RIOT is developing/merchandising their game... in the end it is a company, yes.... and do you know what companies are made for? EARNING DAMN PROFIT. That´s how the world goes around. And btw...buying skins and stuff does not mean buying skill!!!

Make peace! Not war! :*

P.S.: I never bought any skins... but I probably would if I could be able to effort that much waste of money. xD

Weathered2 votes

You do realize that this game is free to play and cosmetics are optional? No one is hurting your life by buying a skin.

You sound like the person who always complains "my generation is terrible" and "society is so messed up", but when asked to explain you just repeat that phrase.

Because video games have always had those qualities ;)

There are tens of thousands of other video games out there. You don't like free to play? That's great, since the vast majority of them you'll have to pay to morally obtain a copy. (I'm assuming you have money, otherwise you wouldn't be unhappy about the trend of free to play games.)

My whole life revolves around video games, and I can personally recommend a couple hundred starting from the early 90's. Message me. Just because you're not happy with LoL doesn't mean gaming is destroyed.

See, I'm not talking about a literal crash of the gaming industry. I'm talking about the figurative death of gaming. Where the older games had developers who poured their hearts and souls into their games, the new games are just big, soulless cash grabs. Gaming went from an industry of passion to one of greed.

And you can only play the old games so many times before you know everything that happens by heart, and they're no longer fun.

Yeah. So try playing ones you haven't already played before. I guarantee you don't know everything that happens for games you haven't played before (unless you were stuck watching 5 roommates play through Heavy Rain like I did... lol).

Implying any industry is not driven by money is disingenuous. Have you heard of the ET game for Atari 2600? That's a textbook example of major old "money over quality" (and a nontrivial contributor to the industry crash I mentioned before). How about PlayStation's success? It wasn't because Sony was a well known game platform; third party developers flocked to the cheaper (and therefore more profitable) CDs over Nintendo 64's cartridges.

Implying modern developers don't put their hearts and souls into games is naïve and petty. I'm a game dev (not at Riot), and when it gets to crunch time, my coworkers and I are putting in 80-100 hours a week, no overtime or profit sharing. It doesn't matter if the game gets a 60 or a 90 on Metacritic, or whether or not the game has microtransactions. We want the people playing the game to enjoy it as much as possible within the development constraints we have. (The ET game from earlier wasn't terrible because the devs making it didn't want it to be good. They just had about 1.5 months to make it.)

You'd lead a much happier life overall if you looked for the good in things. I can tell you about hundreds of wonderful games out there. But if you feel like wallowing in pity rather than searching for happiness, that's your choice.

Says the one building essence reaver on jinx when you need an ie instead ...

Terrible match making When you play dynamic

I have played soloq more than I played dynamic que this Season so the only constant factor is you not your teammates

Having monkey throw money ??? So your just envious of people being able to afford skins why not spend that extra time and earn some skins ?
