Haven't played in over a year...now whenever I try to get back in, it just doesn't work out anymore

I was never the best...or particularly great at LoL. However I played Vel'koz a lot and easily got high enough in rank to get the crappy free skin from Ranked games.

I decided to take a hiatus on the grounds because work+Dark Souls. Never thought it would be THIS long mind you, initially it was just supposed to be a week break from this game.

Yet now...I'm lost. The new items. The new masteries. etc.

I can't last hit for shit anymore. My reaction is dull. I keep getting lost deciding what I'm supposed to buy next Athene's is garbage on the champions I bought them on... I keep forgetting basic things...

Worst of all...I can't help but feel that the community has gotten even more toxic than it was a year ago. I tried coming back 3 times. And all 3 times, everyone was toxic as fuck. Kinda kills your enthusiasm...

Probably doesn't help that after playing The Lost Vikings and Rexxar from HotS...the new champions in LoL just aren't interesting me anymore. That is not to say HotS is better than LoL. On the contrary, LoL is still very much the superior game imo, in terms of both roster size and gameplay. But I do find that the recent batch of new champions just aren't catching my interest like Vel'koz or Zyra did.

edit: wth is this? New emoji's?

Wait for the preseason. Rito will cahnge 70% of the game again and everyone else will be just as lost as you. Also just drop your pride for a moment and look up build guides for whatever champions you play.

"A lot changed in a year"

^ Is an understatement.

I stopped playing back in October, then only hopped on for aram or U.R.F. Then Overwatch came out and I fell in love with the game. Honestly I had more fun playing ranked overwatch with friends/solo than Lol ranked with friend/solo. I came back a few weeks ago, only because I don't bring my xbox to school with me (gotta get good grades).

I started playing league again and while I think it is still fun, I would rather sink some hours into overwatch. Losing in Ow just wants me to try again, losing in Lol makes me want to sign off.
