We are a slave to the vct...

Anyone else feel like Riot is intentionally chaining us to the Pro Scene by revolving all of their game updates and decisions related to the game around the VCT.
We don't receive any balance changes until the off season hits.

heck, we don't even have access to the entire map rotation even for unrated, just because the seven map pool is perfect for the pro scene.

They even went ahead and announced during the current State of the Agents that they will be further slowing down balance changes, they even held off releasing the new agent just to delay it towards the end of the month.

I really want to have fun with the game but it is hard to do when you get breeze or icebox for three matches in a row.

They even control the meta as per the pro scene, and they specifically focus on shifting characters out of the meta(eg. skye) more quickly rather than bring them in, and even if they do bring them in, they have to be hilariously underpowered in the first place(eg. Cypher).

All of this seems like a teensy bit unfair to me, what do you guys think?

Fr bro. I played yesterday, got Icebox twice in a row, then breeze next then Split. I was like fuck this game I’m not playing until the next map rotation change lolz

Seems like a skill issue

they made skye garbage for no reason. They just dont want to balance properly. What took them so fucking long to revert chamber bullet price to 100 from 150. Multiple completely unnecessary nerfs for jett over the years.

Unfortunately that is how the game always has been, that's why I play only with friends nowadays

They literally made this game for esports.
