I think I've finally broken free of League of Legends... sort of.

I want to come back, really, but this game is bad for people who want to have a easy going game were its fun and you feel you can get somewhere.

I can't get farther in this game as of now, and its mostly because I've banged on my trackpad so much it doesn't allow me to play as fast as many other players can play, which says a lot due to how slow my reaction time usually is.

I also don't feel like going into Summoner's Rift anymore. For one, it needs a name change. Riot took out the lore, and says that the Institute of War (which houses the Summoners) is none existent. I don't even understand the logic behind taking out a story that made sense, taking their time to bring in a new story for all the champions, and have yet to complete them all. Heck, Riot is aggravating me to the max about Amumu. Is he a yordle? Is he a child? Make up your minds!!!

I can live with the match making, elo boosting doesn't matter to me. I can lose to whom ever and not care, but I do like playing a position and character (with a team that would like said character in said position) but when they removed Team Builder I realized that it was just my favorite way to play League and now that its gone, I don't feel like its easy anymore. Having a timer put up, making me have to figure out who I should play in a certain amount of time, while trying to counter/not be countered by the opponent, while trying to stay in sync with my team. I also liked the Dodge and Kick buttons, even if I were to get kicked I wouldn't mind because I knew that they didn't want me for a reason and I would search for some team that did. Also, I could dodge a team I didn't like. And, Support was a desired role in Team Builder, as many usually had to wait a long time for Supports which possibly got Riot to making more Supports (I mean, three new Supports in a row? during Team Builders life) and got more people to actually play Support.

I feel Riot doesn't want to help new players. Like, based off how I've seen VainGlory do things (which is a carbon copy of League) Riot doesn't tend to do much for anyone in League. They don't do contests anymore, the last one I went into was a Cartoonist contest and after that... nothing, well there was a Cosplay contest but seriously. But SMEC tends to do tons for new players, even doing a chest system that is 10x easier to use and accomplish. 30 levels of chests that can help you get skins, free in-game currency, currency you usually have to pay for, boosts, and more. And these aren't the only chests, you can also get chests for doing minor things, like playing as a character or winning a few times. They just basically help players in many ways, as new players just starting get 3 characters, a skin, and free currency to use just for starting, not even talking about the chests. Riot only gives new players either Ashe or Garen for free (at random), and Garen can be nabbed for free if you follow Riot's twitter page.

Lastly, the changes to my favorite characters who I've mained and I'm stunned these three I mained and liked the most got the biggest changes, just feel weird.

Udyr was over nerfed. Out of all the champions, I hate that he has to be the only one with so many unneeded nerfs after which his ability to use combos was destroyed. Giving him a full second CD (or a 0.5 second at the least) is just cruel. Many champions are praised for their combos (ex: Alister's Q+E, Zed in general, Azir, etc...) so why is it that a melee champion with only a E used to gap close has to have such a stupid handicap? Is it because you gave Udyr a Ultimate skin that caused many to main him to the point it became annoying so you nerfed him? Because I played him before the nerf and I mained him hard for my first few months so now that he can't do what he's meant to do, he can barely even jungle. Thanks Riot. He's outclassed by many, and its even sadder that I just want to use him in top lane, but its just not worth it when people can just use Fiora or Teemo and just secure a won lane.

Graves was someone I liked because of his beard, its just amazing. But, I also liked how he played. He was a bully, who could take a hit and send some back. After the change, I questioned a lot of his kit, really... First, was his new AA, only allowing 2 hits that did deal a lot but still left me baffled. Then his W wasn't even changed. His Q was insane. They could had honestly took off a lot of the Q's damage and allowed his E to add an extra 3rd shell if he already had two. And his R was the same... I couldn't even take my favorite character in game without all the hate for him, he still gets hate because of his great jungle.

Taric is fine, but by now, I just don't feel like playing anymore. I mained him the most. After learning about supports, he was the first one I bought and put into action. I healed like crazy, defended like crazy, experimented like a mad man, and pushed many to victory. I mained him longer than I did Udyr. His change weakened his Q, took away his armor shred for a shield, made his stun easier to use, and gave him a ultimate that is used for certain instances. I like the change, and it means that if I were to ever want to play League again, he'd be the first I'd start using...

I haven't played a game in a long time. I do get onto the PBE from time to time because there are nice people on there, but the Live server is just... well, you know.

I'm not happy to get tired of such a loved game, and hope it once again feels me with joy and excitement like my first two years. Well, not sure it will when I was kind of into the lore... that was made meaningless...... Still, none the less, hope this game brings people happiness in some way.

I'll be doing other things, like Pokemon Go, or Clash Royale, or even playing with my dog. Cheers!
