I started playing in the first season this game came out and at that time the game was awesome it was fun it was tactical and even if you had a bad team you could still win if you yourself had won your lane. I created a new acct to play due to the fact that I hadn't played in a very long time and I couldn't remember my username or password or even what email I used so it just seemed the prudent thing to do. Little did I know how mistaken I was wanting to get back into the game. Coupled with the new items that need to be learned along with item builds and overwhelming amount of "smurf accounts" the game has lost what made it good. It's almost like if you want to play league now you have to be good right away cause if your not your done for. Every game now is 4 or 5 higher lvl players playing on lower lvl or new accounts just stomping everyone. It's taking the fun from the game and playing in these games you really dont have the opportunity to learn. It is now impossible to come back once you fall behind in either kills, cs, or lvl for any reason whatsoever. What was originally supposed to be tactical team based game has turned into a free for all where the only thing that determines who wins is kills. While kills were important what generally led to a victory was the way a team played together. Now though all you need is 1 or 2 people with a bunch of kills and its game over. No team, no tactics just kills. There is no longer any late game of any kind it's all kill early and often or lose. Too bad a lot of these champs are late game bloomers which is impossible to get to because of the already mentioned smurf accounts. Riot needs to address all the smurf accounts. New and returning players like myself should not have to get so frustrated and endure punishing game after game for months for everything to even out and get to a place where everyone is at a more even skill level. Get back to what made the game fun and popular in the first place and then fix the one sided matchmaking and i'm sure a lot of players would be happier. I know I would be.
