I absolutely despise League of Legends as I've shared an apartment with a girl who cared about nothing but this game. She was a horrendously toxic person who didn't lift a finger on doing the cleaning, didn't want to help on expenses and made sure to be as vile and infantile as possible whenever things weren't to her liking. All she cared about was the fucking game. It was up to me to take out the garbage and even cleaning after the cat which wasn't mine.
It got to a point where I just don't care about anything Riot makes, whether it's LoL or a fighting game or whatever. It just feels like an outside thing to me. Good for those who like it, but not my cup of tea in the slightest.
I despise League and Riot for different reasons. Their games is a total trash heap of missing QoL features and invasive functions, and the company takes a "You need to play the game the way we want you to" stance. Not only is it missing a default screen option in the graphics menu, so the game will always open on the screen you select (it currently polls the hardware for first available video input and displays there, so you have to switch your cables on your gpu to fix this), and when asked if they ever have any intention of fixing it, they suggest to "Change your primary display on windows", because my workflow needs to be dictated around your fucking game. The anti-cheat they have implemented scans your entire system memory, including your browser for flagged content, which means if you have a cheat engine wiki, or even googled cheat engine, the game will crash on loading. That can go fuck itself too. No forced aspect ratio for monitors means that my 16:10 monitor will always have it's edges clipped in their forced aspect ratio camera. The sound profile isn't locked by the program, so every new game windows creates a new process for the game with a new sound profile, meaning that my system settings get screwed.
I'll leave this one by itself and enough alone: they peddle lootboxes and infinite levelling to increase your sunk cost immersion. Hard no. Maybe fix your features instead of peddling this shit? Maybe that would make people play more?
The company wants to get rid of it's toxicity, but their culture and attitude encourage it. If you think the rest of their games are going to be any different, I'm going to laugh. The only thing that would surprise me is if the TCG is an LCG where you only need to spend $30-$60 on every new season, instead of the hundreds that they are going to force you to spend on their lootboxes skinned as card packs.
Oh, and the new animation they are making is 3DCG, and that shit gives people headaches.
