"You either quit a champion, or you play long enough to see yourself become the troll" - Harvey Dent

The current state of the game… breeds toxicity. Winning is a meh. There is no more of that same joy you felt seasons ago. Nowadays when you win, you feel mostly indifferent. You feel okay. You feel like hey hopefully I don’t get the troll next game. You are on edge. And When you lose, it can ruin your entire day. Get you tilted. Frustrated. Especially when you had to stay in the game with a very toxic person or a troll who runs It down. and it will be you who gets punished. Losing in other games may be stressful, but in the current league, it feels like you gained nothing. That you wasted your time. It makes you question life. You feel disconnected. But you play on. Because you have been playing league for many years now, and grown to love it and hate it, hoping that it will change for the better. But it won’t. Game after game, you will see a troll. A toxic person. And you think, damn… what has this game got to? What am I doing? There are so many things to do out there and yet I'm still playing. Wasting my time… time. The most valuable thing for us and yet we trade it for something of lesser value. Like Money. I suggest that you travel. Whether going to a foreign country, or even a road trip to a different state. Broaden your perspective. Get your mind flowing again. Taking a break from league, actually… feels good. And I know, for some of you, gaming is life. But don’t let it slow your growth. Better yourself. Invest in things. Most importantly, invest in yourself. Whether if it is reading books, or learning a new language. Become a better you. Just look how deep I'm getting just from one silly game. Hahaha… and there’s more from where that came from. but god… I miss dominion. Fast fun dominion. I loved that game mode. An actually quick and fun way to learn a new champion. Riot needs to change something. With the current ELO system, where your MMR depends solely on winning or losing. Not on how well you played. But on whether you are being trolled or against a troll. being dominated or dominating. This game just breeds toxicity. With the good community dying, and the trundles of the game growing. I feel like the game is producing less quality players. Less strategy and more about who can burst faster. Who will int first. To the point where you do not care anymore. So… to my fellow summoners.. You either quit a champion, or play long enough to see yourself become the troll. It was fun while it lasted. Good Games. And with that I take my leave, not because I am done. But because.. I just got into a queue…

when there is not enough room to express your skill , and u die by Zoe in half a second , then yeah , u feel "meh" after winning , not your fault tho , people need to PLAY to experience the game , when u CAN'T even play , then the chances of you becoming toxic goes to the roof , someone with ZERO skill can one shot you ,and yet u cant do the same thing with your actual skill (same xp level, same amount of gold , same number of items ) , CD countdowns on Enemies does not matter that much anymore . EXPRESSING your Skill is not a thing anymore . more like a FPS game :D Zoe but hey , look at me picking your most valuable summoner spell and use it 5 times in a team fight , kill all your team , don't be toxic tho , don't get mad , i'm just a skilled player (sarcasm) and i'm allowed to one-shot you for no reason , of all your teammates , 2 know how to counter me ( if there is any) , the other 3 don't , so good luck winning this game and not be toxic // same goes for any other annoying champ in league these days . remember when Annie was OP ? LOL

I absolutely feel you. damage is through the roof right now. there are less skillful players now. and more about meta champs. I mean you can one trick and wreck with any champion, but meta picks just have that extra umphf.
