Why did i even play this game...?

old bond·Oct 19, 2016·1 votes·382 views

At the beginning i first started out at season 3. No set meta, many things to explore. As time flew league has changed so much. Look at everything riot has done. Is it really for the people? Or for their own gain. They change the meta 10 times a year or more. As a league community i have been active to change and let our voice be heard. But in conclusion i feel that this game has gone too big and setup that we do not play for fun but to just win.

Riot does not work with the players. They do not face the issue of rank system, toxicity, and change the kits every patch. Iam sick of changing the way i play. Changing my items. Relearning items, and removeable of items.

This is not hate against league, but i wish that it is an eye open for the players. Truly ask yourself do you play for fun or just to win.

No set meta? I started playing in S3 and there was a Meta. Of course things change as time goes on....the game would become boring or outdated if it didn't.

Though I do agree that Riot could use to work more with the players but at the end of the day it's their game. They are bringing back Solo Q which everyone wants which is a huge plus. If you don't like the way they run their game then don't play it. They do deal with the toxicity but no matter what game you play there will be toxicity...it's the internet. If you're offended by what someone says online, then you shouldn't be online. Yes cyberbullying is cruel and awful and should never, ever happen. But sadly it will. Best thing to do is just mute, report, and move on with the game. As for items and such, its frustrating, but things change...just like products in stores get discontinued often, it's the game in League of Legends or even World of Warcraft.

As for me....I play for fun. I play because I truly enjoy the game. I have taken breaks before when I've got frustrated, but I can say that I will never give up this game forever. This game has helped me when I went through a horrible rough patch in my life, and for that I won't give it up...and for that I'll still buy Riot Points and support Riot.

Aye if u like the game u like it bud. But u gotta realize riot bringing back stuff is not gonna happen. Lrague players only play 1 map. And urf and other maps are never gonna stay forever!

There are plenty of ARAM and TT players who would disagree with you, although you only really see them on the forums when there's a change that directly affects them.

Tell me is there aram and tt maps in worlds? No and dont even talk about 1vs1 aram bullshit.

VoidStaresBackOct 19, 20161 votes

Worlds is a different beast all together, why are you discussing it while talking about your own experiences as a casual gamer? Just because it isn't played at the Worlds level doesn't mean they aren't played by plenty of casual players. Hell, if you look back at when Riot removed Dominion you'll see there were still a bunch of dominion-only players who protested the decision very vocally on the forums.

I don't care if League doesn't bring back stuff....I don't like Urf...played it once...hated it and don't care if they bring it back. I'm okay with just SUmmoner's Rift. That's all I play. Don't even play ARAM. I'll play Doombots when it comes out maybe a couple times but that's it.

Then this post is not for u, if u like only playing one map thats fine but most people are tired of playing 1 map

You realize that what is meta is largely defined by the community's experiments in response to Riot's changes, right? And for the record, Season 4 did have a meta, as did every season before it, people have been figuring out optimal strategies since the beginning of the game.

Meant to say season 3

VoidStaresBackOct 19, 20162 votes

Even then, there was still a meta, or so I've heard from people who've been around since the open beta.

old bondOct 19, 20161 votes

If you are talking about champs then yes but im talking about items and builds, im talking about the big picture

old bondOct 19, 20161 votes

Meant to say season 3, well if u played since season 3 u would know how it was. And many of the items are changed drastically or just gone

Ask yourself do u play for fun or just to win

VoidStaresBackOct 19, 20161 votes

I play for fun and to win. Part of the fun is adapting to things as they come up, testing new strategies, and playing what I want, whether it's meta or not. That's why I play normal games, because I can do things like test out Cho'Gath support, try my hardest to win, and not cost my team LP if we lose because of me.

old bondOct 19, 20161 votes

Thats exactlt what im talking about u do things just to win, u play norms and not try new meta in ranked afriad of other players bashing on u and lose. U do it to win not to have fun

VoidStaresBackOct 19, 20161 votes

No, it's because I don't play ranked period. Unless you're good with something, you probably shouldn't take it into ranked because ranked is, at its core, about playing seriously to win. I have a couple off-meta picks I would pull out in ranked if I ever played it because I'm good at them, but since I don't I've never had the chance.

The fact that you're saying that I "do it to win" because I don't bring any random off-meta thing into ranked (which, for the record, I've only played two games of, months ago ) is incredibly flawed logic, because I do play to have fun.

And before you say anything: yes, ranked is about having fun as well, but it's a competitive game mode, so the expectation is that you do play to win, regardless of whether you play strictly to meta or not.

the meta has been and always will be an ADC meta

so whatever meta you claim was or wasnt there well the truth is there was a meta it was the ADC META

old bondOct 19, 20161 votes

oSEXYPLATYPUSoOct 19, 20161 votes

actually know what you are talking about before you speak of it...

the meta has always been an ADC meta and it will be as long as the game is about destroying turrets to siege

For all the hateful comments, ask yourself why does every league streamer/youtuber bad mouths the way riot handles situations and the game itself. Do not be fooled.
