Many Mistakes and now: Keyboard slow response

Many turns in the League of Legends history can be considered a mistake, but none of them up to this one now was decisive in a way that would make me stop playing the game.

I played this game since the beta, i watched its ascension and how it influenced the gaming scenario worldwide. I have great memories and lots of good times in it, for that i'm grateful.

But besides all of this I will leave here my latest obs and complains about the game, because they are the reason why the game is falling behind and will eventually break down:

• IP and essence system: For new players that is not a huge problem, but for older players, this system was clearly a degrade in many levels, it took into account the fact that many players had a lot of points uselessly hanging there, but for many casual players that was a good system. The new system offered more challenge and time-consuming methods and focused on giving other type of rewards, like a higher level count and borders, which are cool but I don't think it balanced the trade. This was sad but not enough to throw me off the game.

• Client quality: During all this time, I have seen the client develop in so many ways, it became amazingly dynamic and great to look at, but when we look too high up, we end up forgetting about the ground and so many computers, some of a somewhat good quality end up suffering extreme delays during champion select and/or while using some others services. The inconvenience and lack of alternative made many people avoid playing the game because when you sum up everything, the game would end up bothering you more than giving you pleasure. This was sad but not enough to throw me off the game[2].

• **Community quantity/quality:**As any huge game, there is also a huge community and normally this communities have much more toxic players than chilled, nice to play with. That's completely normal, people specially on the internet lack the ability to acknowledge others as their equals and therefore mistreat them and/or use others to express their frustrations or need of attention. Up to this point nothing can be done, but before Riot would have much more focus on player behavior, issuing events and public notes supporting a good behavior in-game, that reflected in the community and I've seen many people being affected by it. Now it seems that the focus is in so many different spots, all aiming towards increasing game time of the community, increasing the community itself and increasing the professional scenario visibility. You guys do not realize that this focus will eventually backfire, because something that grows fast, usually creates a weak structure and base, while something that grows slow and steady tends to last longer. This was sad but not enough to throw me off the game[3].

• Lastly, the Keyboard problem: The other problems all were inconvenient but only indirectly influenced the game itself, the thrill and the fun in-game were still there, so there were many times were you could have fun even with all the inconveniences created by the previous points. Now i see some people(me included) are facing this keyboard problem, where everything works perfectly, ms/fps are normal, mouse is completely responsive, but the keyboard has a huge delay to answer any commands issued in-game. I tested everything possible, did all the repairs, hextech or not and followed the suggestions to repair the issue. Still this occurs eventually and the good and happy experience this game provides is shattered almost instantly and replaced by a feeling of ruining your and your teammates mood in game. When you under perform, you can get very frustrated.

For this final reason plus the others, I will be taking my time off this game. Maybe I'll comeback next year to see if the develop/performance team had enough time to improve the game efficiently for all, but that is only a possibility.

For the time being, this is a farewell.
