Final League Review after 1387 hours of testing
Recently I've found quite a few games (warframe, stardew valley, gone home, etc.) and for once I actually had fun.
For the longest time I havne't been able to have fun playing league. The community is just so damn toxic I don't understand why but WE are, including myself.
All in all, if a game isn't edifying is some way or another, then its not worth the time.
So far I've put in 1,387 hours (roughly 57 complete days) into this game over the past 4 seasons, I played casually, and the only time I progressed in ranked and won 80% of my games was when I was playing 20 minutes of Cs warm ups, 1 normal match warm up, and 2 ranked games a day in solo que. Giving 3-4 hours a day to a game where in a few months I'd be reset right back to where I came from with nothing personally to show for it, and the only real thing you get is a colored banner.. thats it, for all that time you temporarily get a banner.
I think I keep playing league now only because of how much time i've put in, I don't want that to be for nothing, and I don't spend a lot of money on the game, maybe 20 bucks every once in a while.. but after 4 or 5 years that seems somewhere in the 300.00 dollar range... For a single game... all those games I mentioned above at the top cost me a total of 15.00 (warframe is free btw.) 15.00 and I've already had much more fun than I've had in the last few months of league.
League no longer feels like a game to me, it feels like a cancerous tumor attached to my body, I want to get rid of it. So I am.
I'm uninstalling, honestly i'd probably just give away my account, anyways, I just don't see why league is fun anymore. My roomates always asks me, "why do you play if you're not having fun?" He tried League and quit soon after, the community, the chat, the unbalanced teams, etc. It made him quit and I should have too.
Even a lot of avid youtubers are starting to want to do different content. Playing league is like getting a heroine fix after being addicted, you don't really get a high anymore, your brain just requires the drug to function.
Time to wing myself off league. It's unhealthy for mine and many other peoples health. Mental and physical. Sorry Riot. You just didn't become the company i thought you would.
