Are Riot TRYING to cause more bans?

Everything Riot has done over the last year;

Nerfing Turrets
Buffing Assassins and AD items to obscene power levels
Damage Creep
Mobility Creep
Releasing new champs with blatantly toxic designs

Seems to be CAUSING League to become more toxic. People do not enjoy being one-shot, people do not enjoy champions with infinite mobility or damage creep that is completely insane. Or mechanics that blatantly ignore critical parts of the game and give a huge advantage, such as and ability to completely ignore walls.

This current meta seems geared toward TRYING to make people lose their temper and rage at other players because there are so many one shots currently in the game and so much damage creep that the game seems almost completely one sided and unfair. Its not much fun to watch either in the LCS considering the good backwards and forwards matches of SMITE and other MOBAs.

Just because you feel more tempted to rage at others does not mean other players are. Most players of League have self control and don't take anger at the game out on others.

"A bunch of buzz words followed by 'And that's why I'm toxic. It's Riots fault'"

Hes got a point, the game is in a really frustrating place right now. Hense why there are so many matching and balance complaints lately.

I like how no one is contesting his points. Just making fun him or telling him hes wrong for some ambiguous reason. His points are not all correct or perhaps the most well placed- but he has some good points in there.

The game state has been breeding toxicity for multiple seasons now. Otherwise 'toxic' wouldn't be such a large topic. Its clearly a thing, a very large thing. It also doesn't make sense with the agegroup playerbase of league. That agegroup generally isn't toxic, or expected to be toxic at least.

Play this game long enough and you'll find out its true.

I'd say its toxic to make a post response attacking the poster, without addressing what the poster actually said, but instead addressing one tiny thing and harping on it. Someone says one thing wrong and silly children think that the rest of what was said is obviously stupid as well. Its ridiculous.

Even the rioters are perpetuating an agenda instead of responding to the person. Admit the problem. Its a thing. We ALL know its a thing. We need to figure out how to fix it, not act like it isn't fucking there. Wake the fuck up.

I personally enjoy the large variety with gameplay. It's much better than, for example, having 30 assassin type characters who all have different combinations of the same 10 skills. When something new is introduced, people are forced to learn and adapt the way they played previously. This goes for items, new champions, reworked champions, different modes, and whatever other changes you can think of. Every champion has their own gimmick, and through not every champion is able to walk through or jump over walls, they each have things that other champions may not have. There are ways to avoid most things that would one shot you, and if you feel you can't avoid it, you can build to counter it. You have to adjust your playstyle and build according to who you're playing with and against.

Not all champs can teleport. Not all champs can jump or walk through walls. Not all champs can create their own obstacles to block others. Not all champs can heal others. Not all champs have good ranged poke. Not all champs can dive their opponent and make a good thing of it. Not all champs can charge or leap on their enemy. Not all champs can stun, snare or fear their opponent. Not all champs have a massive radius/range on their ult. If you want to argue against what some champs can do, prepare for a massive debate of what that champ cannot do compared to what other champs can do.

If getting one shot is upsetting to you, play tankier. If you're being one shot, it's probably because you and your opponent are both fully investing into damage, and you ended up getting caught or being splat first.

Most new champions on release do seem a bit overwhelming, but it's often largely due to people not knowing how that champion works. They may not know what skills they have, and therefore don't know what to expect until they see it first hand. In my personal opinion, a lot of the new champs don't seem nearly as op as you're trying to make it sound. In most cases, I've seen them either succeed, or fail miserably.
