Isn't this game getting boring?

Kenan Redzic··14 votes·13,165 views

Look, before you down vote, please just hear me out. So I've been playing this game since 2011. I'm silver 2 right now. Yeah yeah, pretty low elo, I know. The reason being is around the beginning of 2013 to mid 2014, that is when I would actively start playing league. At one point, I was really serious in going up elo, that was when I climbed out of bronze. Then, I started playing ranked less and less and started playing normals more and more. This was because I spent to much time on league and fucked up on school for a marking period At that point, I almost quit the game. It felt so repetitive, and I just uninstalled the game to focus more on school. A month later when I got my shit back together, I reinstalled league and started playing, this time with my IRL friends. I have around 12 of them who play this game actively so I just play with them whenever i want to. To this day, I still do this. Every night after a hard day, we play around 3 games. Same cycle, night by night. Now, I am fully aware that I am really getting no pleasure at all in this game, I just play it because my friends play it too and I'm pretty close with all of them, so I'm like fuck it, i got nothing else to do but sleep, so why not? I lost my will to try in the game, I don't give one fuck if anyone feeds or afks, I haven't touched ranked in a month because I feel its just a waste of time and I can't even play the game seriously anymore. I haven't played solo que in ranked or normals for almost 4 months. I feel like the game would be SOOO boring if I didn't play with them. It's just so repetitive its not even funny. Does anyone else feel this way? Before you reply, keep in mind that I played the game for 4 years, not 1 or 2, so getting bored at this game would be inevitable. Also, I know that riot is trying to make new types of limited game modes like URF and shit, but, let's be honest here; no one is playing blackmarket brawlers (LOL!) since it isn't least bit fun, at least, to me it isn't? What's your thoughts on this guys and girls?

I think you're just experiencing something called growing up. That sounds horribly insulting but I promise you I don't mean it like that. I'm 23 and I honestly just don't play the game anymore. I used to play it almost religiously. I even got to gold rank last season, but like a lot of things that happen with growing up, you just grow out of things. League being one of them.

The game itself is kept fresh with new champions, patches and a different experience every time you play, but it's just that you're probably looking for something new that excites you more. I've personally moved onto furthering my career as a composer, but I still maintain an interest in the games community, and lore. Hell, I even make music for champions, haha.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're getting to a point in your life where you just need a change. It happens to all of us.

Haha, you'd be surprised, old man (jk lol). I'm 8 years younger than you, but I do see your point. I think that in the foreseeable future, I'm probably just going to stop playing the game, period. In reality, the more I think about it, the more I realize that I'm really just playing this game just to blow off time. I'll keep into consideration f what you said and try moving on to something that I can genuinely enjoy. Thanks.

But it is sad :( . I did spend a lot of my own hard earned money on this game. Ugh, I could've bought some nice stuff for my gf and hope that in return, I'd get laid.

Don't worry about having spent money on the game, mate. I've spent a small fortune on it myself. It's just fun to indulge, and lord knows you've made use out of what you spent if you've been playing since 2011. Just treat it like you'd treat having spent money on junk food or something. That's how I cope with how much I spent on this game haha!

And I'm not old Zilean .. I'm just wise...

you're toxic if you flame someone for feeding. if you flame someone for being stupid thats another thing, but only feeding is stupid, everyone feeds once in a while.

If you get bored you can always try out new champs/lanes/builds. Of course if you've been playing for 4 years you probably just need a break from the game. I usually play for a few months at a time, then take a break for a few months, then come back and the cycle repeats. I usually don't get bored with the game but if I do I just turn it off and do something else

League needs to make new maps. Like 5v5v5 or 10v10 or something like that.

You cant leave league. Rito didn't make it like that. It lures you in and makes you invest into it slowly killing you on the inside. Once you've started, its already too late. Doesn't matter what you do. In the end, we all serve the Rito.
