Biggest difference between kids and matured league players

Attention span.

Kids have short attention spans, they get bored of things very easily. In league this transfers to the inability to play from behind. They only want to stomp the enemy, they don't care about strategy, they don't care about sportsmanship, they just want to stomp and win in 20 minute. If they can't they immediately start giving up and look for another game. Which is why in the summer it is much more often to see people who start flaming 5 minutes into the game when the score is only 0:1.

Seriously I hate playing league with 10 year old kids.

as an adult I have no problem with quitting at 20 minutes if we REALLY want to leave. I'm not so desperate that I need to get so into a game that I am going to just more or less lose my dignity or humanity over it nor will I be your babysitter. If you bitch and scream sure I'll just stop if youre on my team. Not gonna afk before the 40 min mark most likely though

That's not really the difference. There are plenty of "adults" who have just as short of attention spans.

Yeah, just because we're adults doesn't mean we have longer att

Then go to your psychiatrist and discuss methods for focusing better or getting some Adderall.

We're not talking about a chemical imbalance here that keeps you from focusing, we're talking about people who can't be bothered and lose interest simply because things are not going the way they want them to go.

You should never solve bad behavior with medicine designed for actual problems.

That is why I suggested discussing methods for focusing better first, you should never go straight to medication. There are a number of tactics that you can train yourself to do help yourself to calm down and focus.

Also, current studies about ADHD and ADD suggest that they have nothing to do with chemical imbalances. The brain is working normally, it is just wired slightly different.

Psychiatrists are trained to also help you get other bad repetitive behavior, also hence why I suggested methods for focusing or Adderall.

That is about all that is left.

I feel your pain.

Especially since Riot lets them use racial slurs in game and troll ranked matches.
