Is it just me and is just playing League casually getting harder and harder?

Today's League is about player skill. Becoming good at a specific lane or champion over the course of several different games, testing that skill against a vast amount of other players who do the same and maybe even getting a virtual badge for it!

But if you don't feel like doing that there just isn't much room for casual play. Just enjoying the game because it is fun to play and not because you are striving for some higher goal.

I feel like the developers and the community have adopted this mindset that if you don't play to win at all costs and take the game all that seriously that this game just isn't for you anymore.

If we look at the devs we can see it in how they always talk about skill expression but never really about plain fun, about competitive gaming but never about normals.

With the community it's basically the same. League is one of those games you kind of just play because you have nothing better to do and you want to kill time, maybe some normals on a rainy weekend. But once you're in an actual game it's the exact opposite. If you make any mistakes or do something unconventional you are automatically an inter or a feeder. It's like people forget that it's just a video game and winning or losing doesn't really make any difference. Heck, you can't even play ARAM without people caring too much and after coming back from 3 years of absence, Dominion is appearantly gone too ( which is a shame because it was THE casual game mode ).

Honestly, I don't know what could be done about this if anything at all. But if you compare League now to what it was all those years ago . . . it has just gotten worse.

All the other people that I know that play League are just so fanatic about it. Everyone who actually does still play League does it at least 4 hours a day. But if you're not one of those people, it just seems like this game really isn't for you anymore.

Do you guys get what I mean? I'm kind of just rambling random bullshit together. Oh well, maybe it's time to quit again.
