Forcing a meta
Obsessive "reworking"

It's an assfaggots. Bait?

haha epic meme my dude

no longer the friendly wacky moba, now an esport and streamfags toy

It's too focused on being an esport probably

why are all the kits so complex now

To attempt to distract from the fact that the game is streamlined formulaic casual garbage

Is still fun. Just dont discuss it on nu Sup Forums,
go to vg/.

"funnest" isn't a word

Pretty much

They don't talk about anything in it besides memes and waifus. It's a containment board.

It was never fun.

I think the best example are the tf2 vg board, looks like a bunch of bots talking about literally nothing.

season 1-3 were fun.

Being more focused on being an spectator sport than anything else.

What was once a video game was forcibly made into an ESPORT!!!!11!1!!!

You grew up.

and riot ruined it, just look at the swain rework

esports and ranked mode

that's the cancer that turns every fun game into bullshit

>esports
but early tournaments were pretty epic.
>constant M5 borderline trolling

every time riot reworks a champ I like they fuck it up

To get good at PVP competitive games like LoL you have to have the least amount of fun as possible while playing like a mechanical bot.

The more fun you have the less likely to win you are.

what are your thoughts on irelia rework?

2018 not trolling in rank match and watch people get hella mad lol

I haven't had a chance to play as her or against her but it looks she's going to take mobility creep to another level which sucks because I play champs that aren't very mobile

>that aren't very mobile
old champs?

You're gimping yourself. Mobility will always win out in MOBAs. The only non-mobility champions that are good are the ones that counter mobility.

>Mobility will always win out in LoL.
ftfy

The same is happening in HOTS with heroes like Tracer and Genji. They had to make Maiev an anti-mobility hero just to counter the mobility creep.

I still play it casually and I have fun

I just play ARAM

HotS and LoL are not the only games in the genre

How? The game feels so sterile in terms of gameplay and characterization now. There's no charm anymore to it.

yeah I like champs like mundo, nasus, and sion
I still miss old sion even though he was kinda mediocre and 1 dimensional

I know but I don't enjoy that playstyle at all, I like being a tanky piece of shit that takes a lot of time to kill even if it means I don't do a ton of damage

>mundo
mundo is pretty shit in this meta tbqh

yeah I know, seems like the older the game gets the more mundo gets fucked and the few buffs he gets doesn't really offset the item nerfs or the rebalancing they've done with everything else

i think that mundo is going to get reworked eventually. his kit is too straightforward

Who's gotten a rework anytime soon that makes their kit "complex"? Seriously, LoL will remain easy even on the hardest characters no matter how many buttons you're forced to press. They may be flashy, not not complex. There might be 2 complex champions in LoL at most.

>his kit is too straightforward
I don't understand this logic
Not every character needs to be a bloated LOL ESPORTS mess
The vast majority of the depth and difficulty of this genre isn't even on the character abilities and inputs, it's how you utilize them on top of general position and lane control and all that

I love Mundo but it’s so ass playing him when two people on the enemy team run ignite + anyone can get a grievous wound item with either executioners culling/morello

because i'm not a little faggy teenage boy who cares that much, I just play the game for face-value entertainment

>remove snowball
>remove solo carry
>rework/ overtune every champ
>everyone does insane dmg
>forced meta

>I don't understand this logic
tell that to riot. asides sion and warwick, all their reworks were failures.

Sion's rework was flawless though

Their idea of balance is to nerf everything into balance
That makes the game boring because basically the most OP champs are the only viable ones.
Games like DotA. They just make everything OP so the shittiest champ is still OP and can kill the most OP champ.

>Their idea of balance is to nerf everything into balance
this
>champion is strong in current meta
>nerf champion
>meta changes
>champion remains useless.

esports kills everything

Latinfag here, can only speak for LAN: fucking beaners take over the server, you cant say shit about them because is insta Ban. Fuck them, I did it til the end: if an useless moron is gonna ruin the game for the rest of the team he is going to hear it, frijolero or not.
Also I heard (this was after they kick me out, so Im not sure) that they changed IP for blue essence.
