The cancer that League of Legends has become

Brody CX·11/26/2015, 11:03:59 AM·2 votes·514 views

ever sense season 4 league has been going down a 90 degree angle and i give it around 2 years before other games begin to take over as the most played in the world similar to how it did with runescape and heres why

  • _ "Updates"_ The constant barrage of new/removal/changing of items is awful they should only be removed or reworked if there is a direct issue with them because they are either useless do to another item or are so incredibly over powered that it works on every champion you may be thinking an item like DFG But the removal of dfg Imo was one of the worst things in season 5 not becasue i used it so much but because of what it did to all of the champions that did use it, annie at the time was not able to 100-0 someone with a pair of boots like she was able to after the removal she needed the dfg to be good and she needed it fast delaying her from getting it and denying her getting fed was quite easy but after it was removed they had to buff all the champions that used it effectively making its removal worthless and breaking multiple champions which the effects of can still be noticed today

  • Riot Does not Care

They dont they truly honestly do not give a single F**k aslong as you continue to play and buy riot points a non exchangable non refundable non tradable form of currency that allows you to change leveling from 1-30 take a few months to being able to do it in less than 3 days and take hundreds of game worth of ip to get a champion to around 5 minutes with paypal

  • **They try to cater to what they believe to be that masses **

Riot on multiple occasions has refused to make updates that will make the game "more competitive focused"

They refuse to do this because they believe it will scare off the "casual majority" majority of course being around 5% of players

The main update being sandbox mode (unlimitted flashes no mana no cooldowns to practice flashes/cs/skillshots)

And other updates which they just haven't added for what ever reason include - In game microphone, A replay function, A vote kick function for ingame and In Queue, AFK Compensation

These things may all seem like a bit much for a game like league but CSGO has it and it is quickly coming up to league of legends player base only being held back buy the cost for the game

They will ban you for the stupidest of reasons Tell someone they are bad and they need to stop talking trash when there kda from there last 20 games is 1-15-0 will result in a permanate ban (i know from personal experience and was provided with 4 seperate chat logs from 4 seperate games all of which my very minor toxicity was completely justified (due to trolls) so even riot cannot decide exactly why you deserve that ban but they will never remove it

  • They do not listen to the community

For years certain champions have been outright unfair or broken functions need to be changed things need to be reworked but all those things are generally overlooked for what riot feels like doing

And no matter how many points i bring up about the things riot has done it wont matter it wont matter because Nothing will change The masses will still spend hundreds on riot points and will still play the game for hours upon hours and will follow every thing riot says as law intell they get a singed jungle in there promos to diamond and receive a permanate ban then and only then will the problems with the game be made clear to them

Under point one dfg was a toxic item in that it gave many mages a extra ability unfairly as many mages builded it the need for comp was well deserved. The flow at witch updates reworks etc is not too drastic or all that constant the bigger more taxing changes like dfg come during preseason witch is the time appointed to such changes that being said I do thing the juggernaut update was a bit much during an actual season let alone before worlds.

Under point two riot is a company it does not relate to them caring if we wanted the game to continue to stay the people making has to make money no? all champs can be unlocked via playing the leveling allows players to get the experience they need to learn and grow as a player I will agree there is some barrier to entry for new players but at this point I coincided it a rite of passage.

Under point 3 you are actually the frist "riot rager" that has said riot is not competitive forcused. Riot has stated that voice chat is a feature that they are looking into for the future the communication app coming in season six is the opening steps to allowing such a system . They have invested millions of dollars into curse boys meaning that they may use it at future time you're more than welcome to set up a line of communication with your team by using the boards to set up a team that you can then Skype or curse voice with . Or attempting to make a team using their collegiate club system .

On the point where you got banned you sign the terms of service if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all .

And on your last point they do listen to the Community yes there are some older issues such as kits that do need rework the changing them is not as easy as you might think Yes you might be able to come up with a few Solutions on paper but implementing them is a different story from the way that you present yourself you don't seem like a game designer So I don't believe you can fully understand the struggle . In regards to player communication if you paid attention to the boards recently As in yesterday ( yes better later than never but it's a start) they are starting to take player criticism over some of their champion work .

I tried to read this, but your grammar and lack of structure in your writing made my head hurt. It seems like a pretty generic rage thread though. Alas, I shall never know. Maybe... try to clean up your words when you write so people can read them next time?

  1. Updates- Updates keep game fresh, noone wants to play same gameplay,same meta, same items, same champions forever. Game needs to change (not necessary become better or worse just change), to stay interesting.

  2. Riot does care. They keep introducing things that people want ( that are within reason), like we have ranked teambuilder incoming , we had teambuilder added, they are getting rid of toxic players that yell "report" every minute

  3. I dont understand all points in this part, but i know that "kick" feature should never be added, there is no game which is hosted by server and not by certain player has kick option. If you want to kick someone, use teambuilder. Afk compensation is already implemented, although you dont see it. Its simple , you lose LP with afker, you gain LP against afker. Fair. As for banning for "stupid reasons" , most of community dont want toxic kids who will flame someone for playing bad. Flaming, for whatever reason, is worst thing you can do in game beside cheating. ITs worse than trolling or feeding. Noone wants toxic players in their games. Riot is doing VERY good job with this.

  4. They DO listen to community within reason. Just because 5% of players cant deal with certain champion and 95% can, that doesnt mean champion is broken or unfair. It means that certain players need to learn how to play and improve. Skill always decides, never champion. Its player who control champion.
