So, an Anecdote
I took a break from League. When I came back...
I did not miss the players--- they reminded me of how shitty they can be within the first lobby. I dodged
Next game goes well for my team---- but there was literally no difficulty because the ranks were highly in our favor
Game 2 I played into a bad match up--- It was so bad I could do nothing all game. I didn't feed, but I provided 0 pressure or answer to my opponent. Then I watched 4 other people passive-aggressively talk and ping each other to death because they were scared to get banned for talking.
I thought to myself "I'd rather go do something else" within the first 10 min, so I did after it ended. It didn't feel good to come back to
If Norms are a crap shoot,
And ranked is a crap shoot,
And I'm on the NA server,
Then what does my individual skill have to do with winning at all? After realizing this I'll be playing a lot less.
