Interesting conversations up there about wait times & que changes. For myself, this year seems to take 10-15 minutes to start a game instead of 5-10 in 2015. Spending over 20% of my game time waiting to play is too much, not to mention the new system makes you babysit the screen the entire time or you will miss one of the 4 or 5 times you need to make a selection. Hench my LOL playtime is enormously less than last year and would imagine it pushes many experienced older players away from the game. Add to this..... my promos went 7 wins- 3 loses and I was demoted a full tier. My math says winning 2/3rds of my games will take 150-200 hours to make it back to where i was last year...and i am unwillingly to do that only to get knocked back down 5 full ranks another 6 months from now. I improved my game, was finally seeing somewhat competitive/intelligently played games with more people that cared & i just can't get excited about struggling through hundreds of hours of play once again with supports that don't ward etc etc.

I don't really know what "Meanwhile In Top Lane" still means but what about a month or two ago when you looked at all the champions and Garen, Vi, Sona, and Zed all had a short photo of them and me and my older sister thought it might represent some other skins. Garen Sona Vi Zed

Im mad that I can't play the game without "websites" that are required. If I do allow the "websites" then it still kicks me out. WHAT THE HECK!!!!????summoner 11
