Am i the only one who can't stand this game anymore?
I don't know, ever since the juggernaut patch came out, i just don't seem to have fun with this game anymore. i keep taking these long week to a month breaks to avoid getting burned out from the game, but i come back to it and it just feels like the same shit. this is not even complaning about ranked, because since i hit gold i just quit ranking for good when i did the rough percentage of 4v5 games i've had, and it's not even a matter of "oh i'm mad because i deserve plat and get a 4v5 every other game", no, im mad because i hate wasting time and more and more i realized how much of a waste of time ranked is, i played about 600 ranked games this season, went from b5 to gold, and i thought climbing the ladder would increase my knowledge of the game and things i found OP or poorly designed would start making sense right? honestly the more i play the game the more i realize how the game actively keeps you from having fun, here are some topics that have been driving me away from the game for a while:
-
4v5 matches in ranked, i don't care if people are trolling or being toxic, i don't like it per say, but 4v5's seem to completely remove any chance you had of wining from the start, and i say this because while, yes, i have won a handful of them in ranked but nothing compared to the amount were i tried my hardest for 40 minutes, only to lose. there are several ways this could be prevented, simply by not taking LP away from the other players. the system should be set in such a way that if 1 person leaves, them and their duo should take a ban penalty, like a good week ban per ranked game they afk in, or you could simply give the other team the LP they earned and take it from the people who DC'd from the start of the game, but shield the people who are actually trying from getting demoted and losing LP or promos. this is an unfair situation, yes you can play around it by girding the game and that's exactly the attitude any game company wants you to have, waste more time in our game, make us more cash. i'm just saying, this is something people complain about for ages yet no one cares to find a solution for it, just comes up with reasons why a system like this could be abused, but if you have a job you will know how little spare time we have, and wasting 40 mins in a 4v5 game is not the best use of free time, and if we chose to do so, the least we expect is to not get randomly punished even when trying (losing LP because of afk).

CC, maybe this is bias because these days i'm an adc main. I feel like my role consists of not dying now days...when i play mid or jg it's so easy to cary from those lanes, but when i take a role that i mained from b5 to gold and try to play it, i feel like i have less carry potential then my jg, much less, and that's because of cc. every champion Riot comes out with now is just a but fucking load of cc, that's all there seems to be to this game now. every team fight, it seems that where i position my self doesn't matter to much, because once the typical hard engage comp chains a ton of cc on you, like oh idk, "look, it's the vayne!" leona ult (cc), then Zenith Blade (cc) , then followed by shield of day break (more cc). ok so you think, "wow i just burned my banshees passive and my qss, but its ok guys im alive :D" then right after comes the maphite ult (cc) or the sej ult (cc) or the lissandra ult (cc)...i could keep going, but i find my self often in this situation where cc gets chained and i can rarely tell if i'm having fun in this game because im stunned half of it. Often time yes, the enemy will blow cc on me and i manage to stealth and get away and we may win the tf after i get bursted by the assassin to death or close to it, even if we win the team fight because i managed to dodge everything and they blew their cc on the adc, i have a strong urge to just afk because the entire team fight i ran around like a moron just trying not to die while my team dished dm. I don't find the role i main fun anymore, because i either find my self being out traded by a tank, witch just goes against the logic of sacrificing damage for HP, most tanks seem to ignore this principal these days so what's even the point in playing adc? idk maybe i'm doing something wrong, but i have like 600 games on vayne, so it's not like this happens when i pick up a new adc, it's just the same for all of them except Draven, hes the only one who seems to be able to outrade anything. But personally i think most cc moves are just constantly stoping players from showing how good they can actually be, because point click cc often times just kills any chase they have. "oh but that's what makes a good player, the ones who can play around this cc", you know what tho, watch the LCS it's the same thing. Look at some one like Piglet, the guy was a world wining koren ADC, comes to the US playing for TL and can't win shit or show much of hes skill, i do think that a lot of it has to do with over highlighting cc in the game and how the meta has changed.

Tanks, again yes since the JN patch i have not had fun with the game, i feel like tanks have way to much utility and and straight damage. I look at some one like garen who not only is unkilable because of the amount of tankyness on top of insane HP regen, also has a silence, witch in my opinion is one of the most anti fun mechanics in the game, not only that but he also deals a ridiculous amount of damage from hes ult. i find it boring to play tanks, i find it boring to play against tanks and i hate everything about the way Riot thinks Tanks should work, makes no sense to me.
alright guys, sorry for the long rant, but let me know where you agree or disagree.
