Just not having fun anymore...

Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking when I started playing League. I come from games where you had 15-20 abilities to manage, lots of cooldowns, lots of complex mechanics, lots of reaction and proactive decisions... and then there's League, where you mash Q to death, click on people, and push your other buttons whenever you want to. There is no skill, thought or effort involved in playing this game, it's just whoever does more damage in the easiest way; I can play a champion like Azir and do pitiful amounts of damage, have no CC, have very limited mobility, weak dueling potential, and all that, and have to put in massive amounts of effort (relative to other champions) to even compete and, meanwhile, I can play LB, mash buttons and have no idea what I'm doing, and go 19/0 on my first game with her. So why bother playing a champ like Azir when I can just play some braindead clicker and vastly outperform him?

I don't have fun playing the pathetically easy champs like LB, Fizz, Yi, Garen and so on, but playing them is the only way you can win in this game. For all Riot's talk of "balance" and all that, I just can't help but think that they're either actually r%%%%%ed, or that they don't give a damn about balance at all, and just try to find out how to best fill their already-diamond-lined wallets with even more money -- and, for some reason, I'm inclined to believe the latter.

Winning isn't determined by how good you are as a player (notice the champs used at worlds? Hm.), no, it's just how broken your comp is, and how unkillable you are while still instantly killing everyone around you (Hi Vayne, Garen and Yi). Everyone likes to say that playing League takes a lot of skill, but you know, that's one of the biggest lies I've ever seen. Chaining CC is not skill, nor is clicking on someone and instantly killing them with automatically aimed abilities / attacks -- yet, both of those are how you win in League. Skillshots, mechanics... these are all just things that hold you back; where I have to do all kinds of easily readable things to do my damage, you can just come by, roll your face / click on me, and instantly kill me before I even do a quarter of your health. But, you know, that's what we call "balance," here at League.

It does make sense though; if the lazy, entitled brats that play video games these days (and yes, adults are included in that) had to lift even a finger, or think for a split second, they'd throw a big tantrum and stop paying Riot money, and tell their friends to not pay Riot money... and Riot doesn't want that. So, in order to make as big of a profit as possible (as if >$1B isn't enough), they make it so that a monkey could not only play League, but excel -- and this is happening to all video games these days. Gone are the days of challenge, complexity, story depth and all that -- all in favor of flashy colors, instant satisfaction, and the ability to make yourself feel good for beating a game that's "hard" or playing a champion and being told how amazing you are for killing someone.

Don't you love greed? I sure do. ^^

So, I don't really expect anything with this post, and it'll probably get deleted for some vague reason. Just venting, and hoping that maybe someone could give me a game that's actually fun to play, and not made to pander to people with the intelligence of a stick.
