League makes me depressed.

Every time I get in the game I hope for something fun. A nice team that won’t threaten to report because I’m new to a champion. A few skilled players who can give me pointers that don’t accuse me of feeding. But every time I try I’m met with just plain hatred. I play video games to distract me from the boring life I live. I find video games fun but I can’t seem to enjoy this game yet I can’t put it down. I’m pretty sure it’s due to the gameplay, the large fan base. The large champion pool. But at the same time I just want to leave it sometimes. Every time I end up feeding unintentionally I feel like dying in real life. Every time someone calls me names in this game it’s just pain. I just feel like a hallow shell after games but I just can’t stop. I’m not joking I’m constantly fearing a report because of how many people are threatening to report me for feeding when I’m not trying to. Every permaban is like I’m hit in the heart with a sledgehammer because I wish For death but don’t get it. I’m depressed and occasionally suicidal in real life. Any suggestions on what to do?

Hey,

You're most certaintly in an IRL bad spot right now and you should seek for a professional to sort things out. It's common for ppl to look for shelter in video game but league has many component that makes it a trap because it generates a lot of adrénaline. But dont worry, you will be fine and most of all take care of yourself. Its not a bad idea to step out from the game a bit and focus on stuff that brings joy to you.

play Ivern

Hes the anti trigger champ. I almost never get flamed for playing him, even when going something stupid like top or adc. (despite the negative kda)

Stop playing, not saying this with a hint of sarcasm, if this game hurts your mental health, put it down and stop playing.

Find other more chilled games that will help your distraction better, puzzle games, open worlds - w/e.

If you decide to keep playing, ALWAYS mute pings and chat on your team, it's not worth it, 90% of chat is not gonna be friendly, so mute it, as long as you play normals - you can practice as much as you like and suck as much as you like until you get better.

Get well.

Stop playing, this game is the frustration and hatred made a video-game, i didn't read everything but if you have friends to play games, do it, always try to find multiplayer games or co-op games almost every time it's a laught guaranteed, if you like competitive games play 1v1 games or games that aren't really based on teammates. If you don't have friends that play vgs look for discord groups of the desired game.

Stop playing this game, this whole season wasn't fun, even for me without being in your spot wants me to shoot me in the head LUL

You should go to a psychologist. Depression and suicidal thoughts are serious stuff. Also, and you might not want to hear this, you seem to be addicted to League in a quite unhealthy way. Hope you fins a solution to your problems.

Playing with friends reduces the chances of the number of toxic players that there will be so I suggest you do that, otherwise unfortunately there will always be toxic players but also nice players
