Goodbye LoL

Well, the time has finally come. This game is just absolute garbage at the moment. After so many DC's, useless updates, feeding lanes, toxic chat all over the place, I just couldn't stand playing anymore. It's just not worth it to get worked up over anymore, I never want to be toxic but I could slowly start to see myself typing a lot more "wtf" in chat and just muting everyone. I'll never stoop to the low that some of the toxic players I've played with have, but the game just isn't what it used to be.
I know it's the preseason and yadda yadda yadda, but truthfully after this many changes its not the same game I fell in love with. I now get 10x the pleasure watching people play as I do actually playing. I'm tired of hearing all the trash talk and homophobic slurs. I have been playing games for years and I have never seen a community so toxic to each other. This game breeds toxicity from the time you play bots with 4 other people to the time you are in ranked doing the "grind." It never leaves and I could start to feel it drain on me. I know this game is competitive but so are many other games that I have played where the chat at least stays civil. Might get testy at times but more than not it stays within the boundaries.
The final straw was the last game that I played tonight. It was a rough night, like the past few have been more recently than not. I was support Thresh and had a Caitlyn adc... Great lane I thought. Sure enough a few minutes into lane, 10 max, she has 20 cs and is 0/4, Cait ended the game 0/9 with 56 cs. I didn't lose it but I found myself asking him/her how long they had played and things like that. Nothing crazy rude or toxic, but the fact is that I REALLY wanted to lose my sh*t on him/her.
Long story short I'm definitely going to miss League and it wont be easy to not install it again, but it just isn't worth all negative emotions that come with the game anymore. Honestly the money I've spent on skins and champions doesn't bother me too much, it was fun while it lasted.. no regrets about that. I just can't have fun with the game anymore, and lets be honest that is what it should always be about! :D

Bye! Enjoy playing whatever else until you inevitably come crawling back! Just like the thousands of others before you.!

It's possible obviously, people get tired of games all the time and leave only to come back when they "chill." The thing is, it's not the game that makes me not enjoy playing anymore. It's the people I'm playing. The games is meh so so atm, but the community is the worst part and I don't want to add to that ya know?

Why do people feel the need to always state when they are leaving? Do you do this for every single game (computer/console) that you leave? People leave for various reasons. you dont need to make a post stating why just go. If you come back awesome, if not oh well. This community is no different than every single game community out there. So leaving because a select people have been toxic to you doesnt really make any sense, since youll more than likely find them in any other game youll play!
