Any still play this? I can't find the giant thread for it.

So my last game before end of season I just hit Legend 1. I won 7 out of my 10 calibration games and ended up at Archon 2. I now can't win a game. It's like I've ended up in the low priority queue. Active feeding, some of the worst line-ups I've seen, non existent supports, 4 carry teams, multiple roamers etc. WTF is going on? Is anyone else experiencing this? I think I'm now in crusader mmr ranges. I don't play every day and rarely more than 2 in a row so it's not like I haven't had a break. Literally losing the will to play.

I cannot face solo queue, i'd rather sit on spikes :) however, I did duo with a friend just before the season was reset. Was Legend 5. Then re-calibrated on new season roughly in the same duo and went down to Legend 1. Got to say the calibration matches before the season reset were night and day in difference. Before season was reset, the comms were good, generally good team composition etc. During new calibration it was a **** show lol.

Same. I enjoy the game itself and if I had the time in life to play with a regular 5 I would have kept playing but as it is the community are scum and I just didn't need the hassle.

Yep, exactly :)

You also seem to like board games like me too. Going to play Through the Ages with my missus later on today. I have a shrink wrapped copy of Clans of Caledonia waiting to play soon also. In the mean time now that I am done with Resident Evil 2 remake on the PC, I will start playing the baord game of it which I kick started :D
 
I'm still playing, distinctly average still but i do enjoy it. Finished the jungle from the battle pass which was quite a struggle with some heroes, my MMR took a little hit. I really don't like picking roles and lanes before the game, it's what made me come away from LoL. I like playing all roles but if i have hard support picked i'll get that 100% of the time, then if i untick that i end up as normal support. I prefer the picking phase from before.
 
I've tried spending some time learning/playing this game having played HOTS etc - however, as very much a newcomer to it, it's a horrible toxic community. The abuse is on another level!!!
 
It's the toughest MOBA i think in terms of learning curve, mechanics and horrible players! I don't have loads of playing time and as games are so varied i don't really get bored of it. Got PUBG to mix it up if i do.
 
Think i'm done with it after the new patch. Most games are a complete stomp since early lane domination gives even more XP from the outposts. The few that aren't have been 70 min+ bore-fests. Add the stupid neutral items on top and it becomes quite quite random as well.
