Why do games feel so soulless now compared to 6 years ago?

Partially because too many games are made by committee instead of concise vision, and partially because you got older and lost passion.

Because they've been owned by Tencent for years, what passion they once had to make a superior game to DotA has been whittled away to make room for corporate greed.

dota is fucking trash now what are you talking about kek.

It's koreaboo shit not weeb shit and that makes it 9001 times worse

sjws, feminism, blacks, jews

>trying to change the subject
Fuck off, loldrone. Your game is a husk of what it was.

because a lot of the old employees that shaped the game to what made it popular are no longer there, on top of Riot becoming mostly owned by a Chinese company some years back. Most of the original balance team, the PR team, old champ designers are gone now.

Because coomer and gacha fags are thriving. Especially fags who are both, and has enough cash to justify game devs to create shit for them.

That and SJW BS being the cancer that it is.

then why is certainly fucking T still there

Reading comprehension you moron. saying the original goal of the lol team was to make a better version of dota is very different from saying league is currently a better game.

pro tip one game isn't "better" than the other it's all your personal preference

You got tired of video games.

because as much of a terrible champ creator he is, an overpowered and broken champ will always flock plenty of people wanting to abuse them. These champs are popular and sell skins. Riot wouldn't have allowed him to keep doing the same shit he did if these champs were balance nightmares but didn't sell skins. All of the old blood in Riot willingly left on their own. The few that did get fired or have some big dramatic leave were new blood youngsters who either got fired for going full sexist (anti-men) on twitter like that one guy or complained about sexicsm in gaming and how Riot perpetuated it. Riot right now is just a bunch of zoomers. The artists they have don't appear to even get involved much in Riot's personal affairs and just take doing art as a job, it's why more than 50% of their artists straight up just draw porn on the side.

This, and also the game is designed to make you feel horrible when you lose and incredibly good when you win. All to keep you invested and eventually buying skins

Simple, they don't earn it. They are now either pretty piles of crappy glittering crap that are not fun, or they are bland bland piles of blandness that are also not fun. The time of 6 years is a little short, as it actually starts just after the time the original XBOX came out. At first, the damage was small, the blandening was taking place, but not the crappening yet. The crappening took place when the 360 launched. Now some might say I am some sonyfag cuck, but the truth is, Sony has dropped the ball too. I am actually quite all around when it comes to my gaming as well as what I am disappointed in. So, back to how they fucked up...

At first, games got bland. They did not understand how to balance things. Games that put amazing ideas in your head but fall short are a major issue too, like Prototype and Infamous are prime examples' you buy them for being a murderhost or a supervigilante and end up with a crappy Spiderman 2 ripoff and a 3rd person shooter. One sucked, the other disappointed me and was not what I wanted. This is the stuff that happened. Everything got worse as everyone and their dog wanted to break into the market. The JRPGs were perhaps hit the worst, as we saw the fall of Wild ARMs, Tales of, and others while any good JRPGs was overlooked by the masses. There would be mobs of new reviewers who were never there before inching into the review industry, much like how Marzgurl and Jesuotaku leeched off of the anime fandoms later. Such prevented good games from rising to the top, allowing shit like EA to ruin much of our childhood.

Then, the crappening occured, when microtransactions took all the pretty games and made them gacha currency shitholes. This one we all know too well, and fits into the EA issue mentioned at the end of the previous.

One good thing happened though... one shining light in the darkness... The Indie Game Boom. Now this seed of hope is all we have for gaming. May it grow.

the people making the games aren't doing it out of passion, and likely, you have changed as a person too

Name 5 soulful games that came out in 2014

Dota 2 still had soul back then.
I can't really name 5 though kek

I must agree with this... but also the pandering. It is not about making a character well written so we love them, instead they must be some pander pit.

...Imagine what Tifa Lockheart or Princess Zelda would be like if they were written by the shitty snowflake writers of today rather than the great dudes in the past.

Isnt this the LoL character that gets a shit load of diaper art?

>Companies have figured out they should put the bare minimum in games
This in general has been the problem since the early 00's. You were all willing to accept excuse after excuse, compromise after compromise, believe the corporate bullshit and buy into the hype. You bitched and complained but you never actually stopped paying them for doing less and less. Now this is where we are.
