    After not playing this game for a number of years I decided to hop back on for the hell of it. I was quickly reminded of why I stopped playing to begin with.

I was quickly reminded of why I stopped playing to begin with. Team-based moba's are always going to be a mixed bag, but League just takes that negative and highlights it to its maximum potential. You will never have consistency in level of play unless you're playing with friends, whoever is left actually playing this relic. Beyond that this game has "evolved" to a point that it's almost impossible to get back into. I have no idea who the new characters or what they do and to be honest, I don't think this game is worth the hundreds of hours you would have to pour into it that would be necessary to reach an average skill level. Sure, you can say it offers more than it used to, but I liked it better when the game didn't have a million champs to worry about learning and an ever-changing shop/item system that will take a bit on its own to master. In short, this ain't worth the time and effort (moba's usually aren't)… Expand

    Нет никакого баланса, слишком часто выходят новые герои, из-за чего мета меняется со скоростью пули. Пояснение: Мордекайзер имеет 2 способности, направлены прямо (одна притягивает, другая дамажит), имея эти 2 способности он просто бьет тебя и рядом стоящих крипов и вносит миллион урона, также у него есть аура что замедляет и наносит урон(замедление настолько сильное, что не помогаютНет никакого баланса, слишком часто выходят новые герои, из-за чего мета меняется со скоростью пули.

По игре еще можно сказать, что камбэк просто не возможен, малейшее преимущество и ты ничего не можешь сделать. И мое любимое-кнопка сдаться, ее все жмут как только вашу команду убили 1 раз. Рекомендую просто не играть в это игру, если она скачена, то удалите(лучше саморазвитие или играйте в другие игры)… Expand

    They broke the balance of the game. Even the tank is already shot by some supports. The victory does not depend on you, but who will have more noobs in the team. 4 years ago I was a grandmaster and now it's disgusting to play

    By now they surely must have realized that the game is beyond saving so they pull as much money out of it as possible. Someone made the comparison of Riot with Nazi germany one day. Not very far off... bot in mentality and respect I have for both.    … Expand

    Once a great game. But quality rapidly declined over the time. Matchmaking, toxicity, balance, general new champs are a huge problem and it is became a sport in the community to be as toxic as possible - everything under the watchful eye of Riot not banning the right people.

    Back in season 2 or season 3 the game was good. But then they decided it would be better if you had no impact in the game and so it became bad. It still is bad

    After 10 years I am finally quitting this game for good. Every season is worse than the season before in literally every aspect: community, balance and overall quality of the game.
    The game is more frustration than fun. You have the feeling that you have absolutely 0 impact in this game. You can't carry a game alone, but ofc one jerk is enough to ruin the game for you. **** you Riot!

    playing this game is like taking a bath - in acid.it has an addictive aspect, but you will not enjoy it. Even winning does not feel satisfying, you just need to do it not to feel bad, just like consuming a heavy drug. But when consuming drugs you at least get something for you money.

While this is true also for other games it is worth mentioning that you find the lowest class of human garbage in league of legend games. Being caged with these kind of people can cause serious health issues since their toxicity can't always be muted. They grief the **** out of you just with "legal methods", which Riot just refuses to adress.
    Take my advice: Go somewhere else, you will find only despair here.    … Expand

    Pretty terrible game. Community is actually worse. Met a guy calling himself "Chad supp player" (yes I know cringe name). He was terrible at the game and also a very heavy flamer. Anyway I reported him. Hope he gets what he deserves (which is actually a cruel death in IRL, well you can't get this from reporting though).

    I will be subjectively describing what I have experienced during my time playing League of Legends. Everything is from my point of view, but it is the truth from the knowledge I have and meant as it is written.

Everything is from my point of view, but it is the truth from the knowledge I have and meant as it is written.

    The game itself is over 10 years olf and has not aged well. I have seen the development over the years and in retrospective I can say that every action made to tackle a problem or improve the current situation was sub-optimal, not clearly thought through, made by someone who either does not know or does not care - or most likely both.

    Problem 1: Too many champions.
    It is impossible to balance every combination of such a mass of abilities. But instead of making champions "seasonal", which is a common well-workin approach, Riot decided to do: Nothing.

    Problem 2: The community have become increasingly toxic.
    Back in the day chat messages were read by humans (player on voluntary basis) and then it was decided if actions need to be made. At some point they decided, that this was too much work or this could be made "cheaper", so they introduced an automated system. This is working terribly. People quickly figured out how to be toxic under the radar. A secret "code" established where some words actually meant different words, but everyone exactly understood the toxic intention behind it. Riot's reaction: Nothing. Chats are still automatically analyzed, they tweaked it in a very poor way that people automatically get a punishment if they simply write "too much" or get reported by too many people - independantly if there was anything punishable written.

    Problem 3: insanely bad balance, stale champions and little housekeeping.
    As mentioned in above, there are too many champions (almost 160 at the time of writing). The best champions peak at an average winrate of like 57% and the worst sometimes drop to 36%. The gap of 20% is insane. Comparable games already have been declared out of control if the gap passes the 5% mark. But Riot maintains a solid 20% gap. At some point in time they even said "Sorry, we are uncapable of balancing this champion, we are focussing on other stuff." And these are the words of multi-million dollar company, not some hobby-garage start up. it is expected that champion balance will keep decreasing over the time as more and more new champions are introduced.

    Problem 4: The issue with "ranked-boosting"
    In this game everyone wants to flex with a high rank. Therefore a black market has developed where high level players offer a service of "boosting" an account to a certain ranked rating in exchange for money. This market is flourishing for nearly a decade now. Riot claims to have it under control, but in fact this is a blunt lie. In nearly every ranked games there is at least someone involved who does not deserve to be there or you are facing a booster. Riot's reaction is once again: Nothing.

    Problem 5: Smurfs
    Many experienced players want the feeling of destroying someone and provoking and flexing. Therefore they create new accounts and play with new or inexperienced or simply players much worse than they normally play with. These ofc gets these players frustrated since they don't even understand what is happening there. Often I have read that new players quit league after one or two games because of their negative experience with smurfs.

    Conclusion: Riot games Inc. is a **** company, mostly focussing on milking the customer in every way possible. The actual problems of the game are ignored. Most likely the plan is to ride the dead horse as long as it creates money. There is no future for this game. I strongly recommend not to play this game at all.    … Expand

    I find that with League of Legends, Riot has cultivated one of the most unique spaces in gaming history—mostly for good reasons but also for some awful ones, and in the gaming museum of the future, League is sure to have its own wing.
