League of Legends isn't playable anymore....

I'm aware that people post stupid things like this all the time. But I've played for 5 1/2 years now. This game keeps getting more and more unbalanced, to the point where you can't even play it anymore. One shots at lvl 11 are normal now. You look at the item list, and it's all Attack items. You have to scroll down a long ways, to find the most costly defense item. That's just the unbalanced part of the game though...

I'm sure I don't have to dive to deep, to meet other players, who despite winning, doing well, working together etc, in a game. Players are just straight buttholes. I literally can't find a single game, where someone isnt' cussing or being toxic to me or someone else. I do very well, personally. I'm not salty over losing. I don't really care about my rank. It's just that fact that you can't even get a fair match anymore. You either get a janna top, or garen support. On top of people being able to try a champ for the first time in ranked, you also have to deal with the fact that every match you play, will either be a complete landslide victory, or it'll be a complete stomping, and loss of lp. I can't remember the last time I had a close game, and it was fun.

Why not make players have a certain mastery level, to be able to play that champ in ranked? Why not just perma mute repeat toxic players, forever? Instead of giving them 4234234234 chances, before you ban them. Why not make some top tier defense items, that actually matter at post 30 min? Why not nerf some of the attack items, so that every assassin in the game, can't one shot a tank?

Anyways, my opinion probably doesn't matter to most, but I wanted to say i've had enough. I've supported this game with money, social media, and playing. I've finally had enough. I literally played 7 games today, and despite winning and losing some, every single game was a toxic slug fest. I'm over it. Bye League of Legends that I no longer know. You used to be fun, but now you're annoying. lol

The game has been getting steadily less toxic each year.

Seems like you just became less tolerant, which is understandable.. Maybe someday things will improve enough to see you return.

I wasn't going to comment, but this line made me think.

Hah! The player says. I mastered Jinx and Janna! I'll play Jinx in ranked.

-- JINX IS BANNED --

Okay, well, great, and I'm stuck as ADC. ADC Janna then...

What use would such an arbitrary prerequisite be? If it's any Mastery Rank below 6, it's not going to be a good indicator of skill more as it is an indicator of dedication to a Champion. Anyone can get any Champion to Mastery Rank 5 with enough time and effort, y'know.

And if it's 6 and 7...What's to say they didn't get five lucky matches? Like, I have Azir at Mastery Rank 7, but I only got that through sheer luck back before his W Turret Damage was removed.

What if I have Mastery Rank 6/7 on braindead easy Champions who can score S's reliably across several games? What if those Champions turn out to not be good picks for whatever Ranked mode I'm playing?

And more than that - if you had to have Champions at Mastery Rank 7 in order to play them in Ranked, that means that a good lump-some of people wouldn't be able to play Ranked, since, to play Ranked, you need...How many, 20 Champions? 20-30 Champions, I think? Now, get that many Champions up to Mastery Rank 7. Only then are you allowed to play Ranked.

Using Mastery Rank as a bar for entry to Ranked play is a bad idea all around.

Permanent mutes don't work. Riot's already tried escalating chat restrictions, and players under the longer-duration restrictions were found to have resorted to gameplay trolling/intentional feeding.

I'm personally unsure how it would play out, but, honestly, I'd rather not run the risk of seeing a dramatic increase in trolls/feeders.

For the most part, players often get three chances to reform, or just one if their offense was bad enough. I've rarely seen any cases of people breaking triple-digits for their chances, let alone going over thirty chances. All of that is a pretty far cry from the four-billion you bring up.

Or, are you just trying to blow things out of proportion?

I'm there with ya bud, I've been playing since beta and it's most certainly going downhill.
