Worse time now than ever to play league

Nhifu·Jun 19, 2018·44 votes·13,361 views

Can't have fun playing solo ranked. Can't have fun with my friend either, because the other 3 are trolling. Can't talk to anyone in chat, they'll blatantly play to lose just to prove that they're right.

Intentionally feeding up to 15 deaths is still not categorized as intentionally feeding. They'll still GET AWAY WITH TROLLING YOU.

Solo lanes end as soon as someone dies. Players can't even play catch up anymore. Your top laner going 0-1 is guaranteed to be 0-5 and two levels behind later on, no matter how good they are at last hitting. The enemy jungler got 2 kills? Nice now he can start one shotting people with his lethality items. Want to roam and help your team? Tower dies too fast, you're potentially higher risk of dying, and the other players will just collapse on you or take tower.

June 2018. JUNE. Remember pre-Season? Did they fix anything? No. Damage is now even worse, snowballing is out of control, we have champions with 40% wr they don't care about, but then they add new "supports" that just add even more oneshots and snowballing.

The only thing we need at this point is another decent game to move to.

well to be fair... most of the things you said were always like this. ALWAYS!!!

but i have to agree i feel like trolling is a bigger problem than it ever was

If you cant have fun playing. If you have 3 trolls on your team every game. You should stop playing. Cuz actually you are your own problem. I rarely have trolls. I rarely have afks. Most of the time I can get into the game even if i lose my lane. I can comeback even if we start lagging behind quite heavily. Not alone ofc. By cooperating with my team. Most of the time I get nice/okay people on my team. Yes, they feed. They make dumbest plays. They get cocky. They BM. They make bad calls. They tilt and so on. But overall i feel good playing with most of them. Most of the time i get good adcs. Even if they cant fucking play, they at least dont go full retard and stick to the team. And even if they go full retard they still usable as defensive mechanism/split pushing player controlled super super minion.

Why? I dont know. But since we are playing the same game should not the difference be in the way we play and interact with other players?

Im kiddin. I actually know whats the problem. Cuz ive seen hundreds of players like you.

You are your own fucking problem. Cuz you cant farm. Cant lane. Cant play from behind. Cant keep advantage. Cant help your teammates. And cant be helped. Cant carry and cant be carried. Cant shut the fuck up and be positive. You see trolls and feeders where none of them exist. You are constantly tilted and triggered a*@##%t that cant help but see problems everywhere. You should come to league to have fun. If you seeking something else you are at the wrong place.

If you aint - take a break. I personally would prefer to play with blatant but somewhat original troll that at least tries to make shit funny than with tilted fuck that does nothing except crying in chat while sitting at base and spamming surrender vote.

NhifuJun 20, 20182 votes

I just looked at your match history..

7 loses in a row, pretty sure that says something.

Hop onto ranked and see how rough the game really is.

remakoroJun 20, 20181 votes

Oh yea? XD 2 in which i was going full tank/troll build on a champion i just purchased and 4 where i played on my worst role with my friends:) Plus One where i played with premade that played on her worst role. Yea that should tell you a lot Like what a silly goose you are. I knew i will lose every single one of those games. 5 of them were played as premade of 5. But you didnt see that ofc. You just saw several lost games - "oh a lose streak! He must be having shitty time!"

Oh yea dude i totally never played rankeds in this or any other season ahahahahahhah Dont worry i will get into it couple of days before the end of the season. As i always do.

I am thinking of leaving the game. There are trolls in every single game. I feel like I never play with players who are at least on similar skill level as I am. I can be 15-0-10 and still lose the game because everybody trolls. gg wp riot. RIP this game

That is when you start playing Troll Hunter and see how many feedback reports you can get in a day. It is a new player made mini game.

Yup, that's exactly where I'm at right now. I get a chat ban because we had a inting Pyke and a roaming support Veigar who didn't take a support item, steals cs, and feeds? The Pyke literally dove their ADC and Support when I was at 8% mana and 24% health and then ping spammed me until I muted him, and then after that ignored jungle but followed me around to steal cs and then didn't engage in any team fights until i had them at less than 5% health to try to ks, but yup I'm the one who gets the punishment. Riot is pretty incompetent and don't take any action against those who purposely troll, instead they get anyone who calls a troll out for being toxic.

Someone trolling: Riot sleeps. Someone calls out a troll: Real shit?

later...

Riot: Why is our game so toxic we don't understand why the community is shrinking.

Holy ActivistJun 19, 20184 votes

RIGHT! So after my 14-day ban I decided to turn my life around so when I got into a game where they were Duo feeders (I called mid and he followed me there stole my CS and then fed the enemy Zed) I said and I quote "what are you five why do you waste 20 minutes of my life, I'm going to report you" I do not spew one curse word during that entire game not one but I got a ban and then after I tried to dispute it (I went on League player support and ask them to remove this ridiculous ban) they said and I quote "you can't tell another player that you were going to report them you were in the wrong and the ban was justified" and I told her that's just like getting bullied and then telling the person who is bullying you that you're going to tell the principal and then you get sent to detention for saying that IT MAKES NO GODDAMN SENSE But she still said she wasn't going to remove the ban.. .

When you call out these toxic feeders you're the one who gets banned And riot is like "you should let us handle it" I DID AND YOU FUCKING FAILED

You're a poor excuse for a company..

For me, it's the feeling that I have a complete lack of ability to overcome my teammates in a majority of my games. I'm trying (again) to get gold in both solo and flex ladders. Started with Solo and hit gold within 50 or so games from S3. Moved to flex and after a few hundred games I just got demoted to S4 after a day of going 1-3. Did I absolutely dominate my games? No, but I don't believe that I should be the overwhelmingly best player in any game that I want to win. In one of my three losses I had 0-3, 0-5, 0-8 on my team, and another I had a Darius adc.

This season, for me, has been overwhelmingly the worst when it comes to feeling like my (limited) set of skills provides no influence on the outcome of a game.

NhifuJun 20, 20181 votes

Yea, I feel alot of players stopped playing, they really only watch streams now.

So the huge gap between active users has dropped, now we have a toxic community of newbies.

NhifuJun 20, 20181 votes

Even the pro players are saying solo queue is just disgusting now. Literally no benefit for solo queue players for their ranked teams.

And if you don't have a full team players go into flex without a "try-hard" attitude anyways. So you can't 2-4 man queue into flex.

ive heard pro players say they hate it and other pro players say they love :) im just happy to see that riot has the guts to shake up the meta and create this much diversity !

But you know haters gonna hate hate hate

but imma just shake it off

I too, was angry and hardstuck in silver once. Then I just stopped shouting at riot, accepted the game the way it was, played nothing but one champion, and shot all the way up to plat.

Arya NisseJun 19, 20183 votes

Angry? Nah. I find Rito's lack of fair matchmaking to be funny. I go 15+ with anywhere between 0-5 deaths on average, most damage to objectives, and lose because? I've watched a lot of my teams lately, they just don't do the things someone who wants to climb does. Ward, Resist the urge to chase (for real, if you're score doesn't equal or top your deaths, just pick a lane and farm it to your first dead tower and back off) Don't use their map, and I think one of the most important I've discovered lately: They don't use the /mute all function. For real, this has improved my personal experience so much.

You know that thing they did awhile back, where it showed you where you were in comparison to the average player in a given rank? I was equal to most golds, higher than even those in my GPM and objectives, and yet when I hit S1, I just couldn't get a team (yes, it is a team game, you have to have at least ONE other person equal or better than you on your team to carry the rest who are feeding their asses off) to push past the promos. Nowadays I'm just trolling around b3 giggling at the enemy jg's attempts to counter jg me. I don't even see the typical jg flame that goes on, because /mute all is the best thing riots ever done. I don't play to make my laners win their lane, if they die by themselves and give me no opportunity, what can I do? I play and I have a lot of fun now, because at that post-game, I'm the only one who has a positive kda on my team, most objective damage, etc. Do i afk farm? No. If I see a chance, I'll take it and we'll get stuff done. Will I walk (float, hop, run, blink, whatever) into a losing lane to fight your fed opponent? No. Do I care if you're mad about that? No.

TL;DR hardstuck in elo hell, but not mad about it. I know where I stand, and I'm enjoying it too.

PS Sorry for the wall of text, I just had a game where I forgot to do the sacred /mute all. Vent complete Karma

zMacho ManJun 19, 20183 votes

I've told myself I will not play league anymore, I've never said that, never thought I would. But definitely this is all become trash. This game has never balanced or been patched correctly in almost a decade, almost 10 years is coming of when this was released. The repetitive behavior from Riot when they release a patch is old to me. I've quit because I realize that this is never going to change. Right now is the worst fun I've have in the game, and it won't stop to disappoint me. Riot is uncreative and incapable of actually being a game developer that produces games, it only has one; League of Legends! I don't know how much more of an uncreative team you can get! Look if you don't want to be stuck in a repetitive company that does nothing to actually push for success, then get out, leave it like I am, DO NOT WASTE ANOTHER 9+ YEARS HERE.

{quoted} Solo lanes end as soon as someone dies. Players can't even play catch up anymore.

This, people like to sound like pros and say "FArm 0vER k1lLs" to sound smart. In reality i have tried this thoroughly and the enemy laner is always higher level and more farmed when even 30 cs below me as long as they have killed me once of twice.

3TWarriorJun 19, 20183 votes

if it really was 30 cs, they would be somewhere around equal and slightly behind you at 1 kill but definitely ahead at 2 kills

2 kills is about 525 gold if I remember right whereas 30 cs is between 300 and 480

the bigger issue, however, would be if they had an item that allowed for a power spike or gained a level on you during that time

that advantage would afford them more damage and health, leading to worse trades in the future

in addition to this, didn't one of the runes give boosts for kills?

AstorineJun 20, 20181 votes

This is not just one instance but in general. They kill me once despite me having farmed well over them the single kill means they gain a level over me (still underfarmed) and i have worse trades, upon which (still lower cs) they roam and grab a few kills on my team despite my missing enemy calls and then end up 2 levels above me then carry on their path of destruction. A good example would be a recent urgot that killed me once, was 25cs below me but when i returned he just threw himself at me and pressed urgots lovely R, netting him a 2nd kill. Then he roamed and my team didn't know how to deal with a shield that is up as fast as they could destroy it.

NhifuJun 20, 20181 votes

You can't farm and catch up.

1 kill 300 gold, plus the wave, plus the global gold they get from sniping your tower later on. And the level advantage that gives them health and resistances to tank tower shots to dominate your lane. Then they beat you to level 6 too.

You simply can't stop it in any lane.

Building defensively doesn't work anymore either, because you can't shove the wave back, and bruiser builds obliterate tank builds right now too.

Trying to ninja tabi into someone with an earliar triforce than you is instant death. That or the AP jungler with sorcs and jungle item burst + smite dunks on you.

3TWarriorJun 20, 20181 votes

a tower was not mentioned, also, trinity force is almost 3800 gold, that is very far into the laning phase

you may mean sheen, which can cause a definitive advantage, but trinity force is a stretch

That's because while you're dead, the enemy laner is staying in lane and picking up more overall exp than you on top of the exp from killing you. More CS doesn't necessarily mean more exp, just staying in lane longer than your opponent will generally get you leveled faster.

AstorineJun 20, 20181 votes

This is my point that, killing the enemy laner > killing minions. (within reason of course) You are told to farm minions over kills but even if a slightly risky or prolonged kill may present itself then you should take that kill to soak up more exp and get minions in peace on top of the enemy laners exp.

NhifuJun 20, 20181 votes

You can farm for 30 minutes and still die because.. your team sucks.

Plain and simple.

High silvers are placed with very low silvers. High golds are placed with . . high silvers too.

Matchmaking is so broken right now, that you can't SOLO QUEUE anymore.

Very true

Lucian WaifuJun 19, 20182 votes

In the lower elos this is more true, but if a player knows how to stall his lane the laning phase is not over after going 0-1.

KarunamonJun 19, 20183 votes

How exactly does one "stall their lane"? If you don't have perfect knowledge of where the jungler is, you get ganked bot 3v2 and lose tower because towers fall over in a gentle breeze.

It used to be that "play passive and farm back up" was valid advice. It isn't anymore. You will be dived and there's jack all you can do about it unless the rest of the team is there to help. And in solo queue? I'd rather take my chances with the lottery.

Lucian WaifuJun 20, 20181 votes

Well for mid, which is my main, you clear the waves under or behind the tower and set up wards that will tell you if there is a gank coming from behind you. For bot it would be the same way, do that so you can either fight under tower 3v2 or leave before you get ganked, it's not that hard. And farming up and getting assists and kills in team fight is perfectly valid still, it isn't as easy or as strong as it was in previous seasons, but it can still be done. I have been behind as Malzahar or Ziggs plenty and came back by easily out farming my opponent and then doing more in team fights, and it's no different in silver 5 where you are than it is in gold 1 where I am. You just have to be more careful with your positioning and play smarter than your opponent.

NhifuJun 20, 20181 votes

And in every elo you have such a huge disparity between ranks.

That's why almost every top player in challenger right now are solo top / mid / jungle players.

Lucian WaifuJun 20, 20181 votes

Well it depends, silver is terrible because most smurfs start there and then the skill difference gets less the higher you climb. Also challenger players are playing top/mid/jungle because those are the three best carry positions right now after ADCs became incredibly weak after the ADC itemization change.

Light of MadnessJun 20, 20181 votes

IF I see an adc on my team I leave, wait 5 minutes. If I see again I leave the game. Until next day... Because I know I will lose no matter how good the adc is.
