I don't want to quit, Riot.
As much shit as I give you and this game, I don't want to quit. I've put so much time and effort into this game, I've put a bit of money into the game, I made friends for the first time (if even only for a while)... I don't want all that to be for nothing. But, I just can't really enjoy the game much anymore when you lie left and right, and when the only way to be competitive is to abuse what you break.
I played WoW for over 12 years, and I loved it that whole time. It was my childhood, since I hated reality. But then Activision bought out Blizzard, and proceeded to destroy the game in the name of greed. By the time WoD hit, I just couldn't stomach it anymore, and I quit. Of course, I'd tried other MMOs in that time, but none of them really had what I was looking for. So I went gamehopping for a while, and landed on Wildstar. Unfortunately, the game died off, and I was left without a game to play again. So people recommended me League. I had played it a time or two back when it first came out, and I didn't like it at all, so I never stuck with it. I thought it was still a bad game that I wouldn't enjoy, but I had no other choice, so I tried it again.
This time around, I was instantly hooked. I was enjoying myself and having fun (which is rare), and I couldn't stop playing. But, the higher level I got, the more I noticed that things weren't entirely great, as some champions were absurdly strong. But, you could still beat them, so I kept playing. I discovered my true love (
), and was having a blast. I went into ranked calling myself a Jayce main, and ended up placing S1. Things were good for a while, and only got better when I ran into a group of people in dynamic queue the next season. One of them was a girl who had stepped out of a dream, and who admitted to having a crush on me, but they all disappeared after a while. So, my brother started playing, and I duod with him for a while, but then he stopped playing with me too.
Then we have this season. I've been playing alone, so it's already not as much fun, and those champs I was talking about earlier are god tier now, and have taken over the game. Riot lies to us left and right, and any glimmer of that dream Beck once had is long dead.
I don't want to quit and leave everything behind on such a sour note, but you make it harder and harder to want to stay around, Riot. Pretty sure I'm not the only one either.
