There is a problem. a really large problem.

This game is going down the drain. if it isn't the botters fucking shit up, it's getting paired with trolls and the players who I'm fairly sure are drunk off their asses and cannot hit a skillshot. On top of that...ranked with it's que of folks with chips on their shoulders and 'I carry myself' attitude.

The client is fucked, balancing is beyond gone, and the last time I ever see anything related to sportsmanship was when I see 'GG' aftergame. Have not had one match with anything feeling close to a 'good' win.

It's a grind when it was once pleasurable.

I'm not even sure about the recent news that there's supposedly chinese spyware in the client now that reacts to certain programs.

We never had this shit before, not like this. and I'm pretty fairly fucking sure Riot is never going to read this. They never have ventured to the boards and they never reply to the average player as often as we would like.

But seriously. They HAVE become akin to EA. and slowly edging towards Bethesda-ness.

makes me sad, this was a GREAT game once upon a time.

I see this sentiment a lot. Even some people I play with say it, but when I watch them play and look at their complains, the "trolls" are just people who make mistakes.

Look, if you want better teammates, you have to get better, so your mmr is raised and by nature you'll have teammates who know more. However, enemies will also know more, so teammates will make less minor mistakes, but get punished for those just as hard, and you'll be back to square one. You may think a "troll" is someone who gets caught out constantly, but at a higher rating a "troll" is someone who slightly mispositions in lane.

What am I trying to get at? Teammates will make mistakes no matter the elo. Focusing on them doesn't help anything at all, instead, try to focus on your own play. Focus on what you could've done better, because face it- if a better player was in your shoes from the beginning, they COULD carry. Try to become that better player.

Why would you expect a reply when your thread is, at best, hyperbole, or at worst, downright lying?

Is it having an opera death? 'Cause I heard it was dying a few years ago.

Honestly " On top of that...ranked with it's que of folks with chips on their shoulders and 'I carry myself' attitude." It's bronze, that's what it's all about, sorry it sucks there man. :/

Furthermore it's not gonna change, the toxic playerbase that league has, is still a lucrative one. -shrug-
