Edit: I would like to preface this by saying no champ is broken ;D... not yasuo not rengar not adc's not GP(all though 1100 damage aoe crits make me T^T... still not broken)

seriously everyone jumps into the cir...err hate circle and it just becomes an overwhelming vocal minority and just dominates the front page(its the same 200 people upvoting the same threads) and

mostly all the threads are just biased complaints that actually have no merit... it's just people making false universal statements saying "Everyone" and saying this is broken or op this has no counter play even though its all false players just cant take time to learn how to counter it

I myself get dumpstered by certain champions like i struggle against ap ezreal but damn im not gonna go yell OP when im just bad at playing against him

last month it was Yasuo this month it is Rengar next month it will probably be Zed

They should just call Gameplay "Whine and Complain". Because that's literally what it is. Nothing productive comes from it. They just want all overtuned, FOTM, or just champions that they hate to be nerfed to the point where itd be easier to play Shaco with your feet than what they deem "OP" or "toxic."

This is what im here for. This stuff is hilarious.

"Countermeasures arent real counterplay i should be able to outplay everyone even after i let them do exactly what they want to do"

You are one of the few, but no, you're not the only one. Yes, there's other people that are bronze mains who only play cheese champions (+ the champions listed as anti-fun by the community) and still go 2-13, and don't know what is going on so they make anti-helpful posts that give other people the enitrely wrong idea.

Say something against the sheep and enjoy your downvotes.

The whole upvote/downvote system discourages expressing your own opinion because 50 circlejerk hive minds override the 30 people that are actually willing to see from another perspective.

I tend to ignore them. It's pretty easy to not click on them, and proceed to not read them.

I am vaguely aware that we have paused the Lee/Illaoi/Zed hate for Rengar hate, but I haven't read many of the threads.

Apparently you aren't driven away from the boards like you said.

Suggestions used to be a lot more common. Terrible suggestions, but still suggestions... Now you've got threads purely designed to get upvotes because it's impossible to have a real conversation.

The #BetterNerfSona brigade usually pisses me off.

psh. no your not. half these boards are people who come to QQ about yasuo, and lee sin at god knows what elo their at, probably bronze mixed with plat, the other half is a bunch of rito angels who think they've done their good deed of the day because they reported the 0/5/0 vayne who said "gg ez" in all chat. ??? I mean jesus im glad the boards don't even make 1% of the league community. thanks lawds

This is one of the few things I know of where trying to emulate people that are better than you gets you shit on. Sheeple, is it? No No, Fuck the innovators. I'll just reinvent the wheel.

Peoples complaints do have merit. It just so happens that opinions are formed by the level that they are at. The over all game balanced is based on maximum potential that the majority of us will never rise to. So in that framework Rengar and Yas might be OP cause I am sub gold. I use to think Yi was OP and unbalanced. When I was level 18 He was a MF. I could have used some words of encouragement but this is the internet. Now I know that with a good team comp with some explosive cc and map awareness you can ruin his day.

My opinion was informed by my level. Stop shitting on people who have low level opinions. This is common and shouldn't bother you in the least. Jesus Christ. The irony of whining about whiners should be obvious.

Then you have me who is sick of buff threads...

Gameplay knows best. Seriously, this is the future of that particular section.

Luxrath12/28/2015, 8:35:38 PM1 votes

The only reason rengar is even showing up on the boards is cuz of free rotation and theres more of a chance of somebody getting rekt by a fed one and coming all butthurt to whine. Yasuo takes skill to play really well (though im not gonna lie the old heal crit made me salty af). I havent seen a gangplank one in forever, lets just wait till hes on freerotation lol. OMFG EZ PENTA CUZ WE STOOD IN BARRELS OP NERF NERF NEEEERF!

JAGMAG12/28/2015, 8:52:54 PM1 votes

well there's a difference between whine post and legit champ x is unbalanced post because yes sometimes champs are unbalanced and need a nerf or are under powered but need a buff and you can usually tell about 5 sentences in which post you have stumbled upon.

Shonjl12/28/2015, 10:23:44 PM1 votes

I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. Out of all the post in General and Gameplay, I would say less than 20% are whining threads or crying ban threads. Just ignore them, or just go in looking for a laugh.

Although I will admit some of the whining threads actually are occasionally well written.

kaltenashes12/28/2015, 12:09:41 AM1 votes

Oh the irony. You are one of the whiny posts. It is not hard to ignore them and keep scrolling. I personally enjoy the funny posts on boards. I do read the whiny posts. I don't play as often as I used to and it helps me keep up with the meta.

Welcome to the boards, the circle jerk is real, I don't foresee them going away.

When they pop up, I post facts and wait for the inevitable down votes while they continue to spew their vitriol and act like they have a clue about what they are talking about.

How dare you not hate the things that everyone else hates!

Honestly if I get massively beaten by a given champion, I'm more frustrated that I failed. I'm pretty sure every champ can be beaten it's just a matter of knowing how to do it.

Bad players complain good players learn how to deal.
