My means of happiness with LoL is eroding and it's feeding into toxicity

I long came to the conclusion since Riot doesn't give a shit for their game, if I still feel inclined to play, my happiness should be defined around , the champion I played mostly for eight years. Nothing else should matter but what concerns him and my ability to play him.

The problem is, Riot has been trying to shoehorn Singed as a metagame pick since 2018. He is now one of the most contested and banned top laners in the game, keep in mind one of the main reasons I ever enjoyed Singed was no one playing him before. Now I can barely even play the game.

And Riot just refuses to address this with nerfs or anything to return it to as it was before so my only means of happiness with LoL is slowly eroding and I am becoming distressingly more irritable. Otherwise, I would never care enough about anything else to be mad, but this honestly feels like the final betrayal from Riot Games.

I already HATE playing the game, I don't understand why now I am losing my capacity to even play my champion. How does this not feed into obviously brewing anger?

I see plenty of complain threads roughly saying, "Riot is ruining the game because my champion is under-powered". But, "Riot is ruining the game because my favorite champion is popular"? Now that's a rare find.

I'm sorry you're unhappy with League, and I'd suggest that if you find yourself hating the game you should simply stop playing. I can't see Riot reaching a point where they go "well, one guy is sad his main is fairly strong right now, so we'd better nerf it back into being a super niche pick and upset everyone else who is glad they're not getting yelled at for picking Singed." Personally, I'd consider trying to make champions into things that can be super viable is showing Riot does care about their players, but that clearly won't be to the satisfaction of players like you who prefer your champions not be on the radar.

You sure you aren't just being op.gged in champ select, and being traced that you are a singed 1 trick, So the enemy bans it?

Or maybe you should take a break if you aren't enjoying the game.

I used to feel that way (mained Zac back when he was super meta) but I found more enjoyment in branching out. Putting time into a different champ can feel like you're playing a whole new game for a one-trick. If you really just want to stick with Singed, idk what to say.
