Quitting League of Legends!!

The game has become totally unplayable. It's Russian Roulette to even get in a game. About 45% of the time, the game "crashes" before I even see the loading screen. I got a warning from leave buster not because I AFK, but because the game won't even start for me. I feel like shit for letting my teammates down! It's the worst feeling in the world. I should be playing a game right now, but I'm not. Why? I don't fucking know!! All I know is I see is a black screen for about 30 seconds to a minute before Bug Splat comes up and I'm informed by the League client that my game crashed. (Not to mention the fact that when I tried to send a Bug Splat report it told me there was a "connection error" so I can't even do that!) And its not that retarded firewall thing either (though that's bad enough). Right now, my team is without their AD Carry because the game fucking broke for me! That's not okay!! And this isn't a new fucking problem!! The bugs and game braking glitches have been rampant in recent memory. The worst thing in a game is when you lose control of the character or characters you play as through no fault of your own or input from your opponent(s). That is so common in League now that it's unplayable. Fuck new Summoner's Rift. Fuck the new client. Fuck the new item changes. Fuck new champions. Fuck adding things to this broken FUCKING GAME!! Riot! Fix League of Legends!! I love this game, but I refuse to play a game that does not work on a fundamental level!! I hope you read this message, someone at Riot, and let me know when you've gotten your priorities straight. But until League of Legends is working properly again -- until I don't have to blindly hope that I can get into a game I cue up for, but rather know I'll get into that game -- I will not play League of Legends again. It kills me to say this. I really do love this game. And for the first time since I started, I feel like I'm honestly improving as a player. I want to play this game. But I can't risk leaving people I don't know a player short because of a problem out of my control and don't know how to prevent or fix.

I want to make this clear; this is not a new problem! The longer I've played this game, the more I've seen this sort of thing happening. Champions, or the jungle, or items, or something else gets added or reworked or anything while some game breaking bug (like not being able to play the fucking game at all, for example!!!!!!!) goes unnoticed. I know many are caught and fixed promptly, but Vel'Koz's ult not showing if it's on cooldown or not sometimes making look like you should be able to use it but can't is still a thing. I don't play Vel for that exact reason. And now, because I can't even know for sure if I can load into a game or not, I'm not going to be playing any champions.

I'm quitting League of Legends. Not because I want to, but because I can't play it. If the instant crash problem is fixed, I'll probably come back. But this is merely the end result of a systemic failure of Riot to understand its priorities. I think new summoner's rift is a great improvement. Rek'Sai looks like she'd be a fantastic addition to the roster. I'm glad that Catalyst finally builds into a pure tank item. BUT IF THE GAME DOESN'T WORK, ALL OF THAT IS MEANINGLESS!! RIOT!! FIX YOUR BROKEN GAME!!

Can I have your account or are you going to be back in a week?

I agree that the game is bugged to the sky, but come on, it's preseason, just share your bugs, and maybe take a vacation from league until these issues are adressed... And I'm pretty sure you're not quitting. :)

I've been through pre seasons before. This has never happened before. It's never been this bad. I want to come back, but I've screwed over too many people through no fault of my own. As I said, if the game becomes playable again, I'll be back.
