My Experience of League of Legends

Hello, my IGN is Wetter Ramen, I have been playing since the juggernaut reworks came out... I think that was summer of 2015. This game was amazing, I was 12 at the time, and all I did was play games like Minecraft and Gary's Mod. The summer of 2015, my step brother who has played since I think season 3 showed me this game. I immediately fell in love with this game. I loved how challenging this game was, but if I played enough, I could actually be as good as my step brother (who was Gold but still its something.) I absolutely loved this game and I got to level 30. Then... I played ranked.

It was your typical "I'm a kid playing ranked games of league" scenario. I go random roles, I have no main, I play a bunch of Leona and Lulu support and go 2-8 in my promos, Bronze III, wow what a shocker right? I was actually super hyped that I didn't get Bronze V or some shit like that. But, as I soon started to play more and more ranked... that is when the overly competitive side came out of me. About a year later, I started to main Akali and Katarina and that is when the mastery 6 and seven came out. Katarina was my first champion I ever got to mastery 5, 6, and 7 on. But, I started to get some toxicity in me. It wasn't too long before I started to flame my team mates for being bad and making stupid calls and blaming other people for my mistakes. It was bad.

After some chat restrictions that I didn't care whatsoever about, I got my first suspension. Wow... a suspension. At this part in my life... I was addicted to this game. As Tyler1 once said, "IT SUCKS PLAYING THIS SHIT, AND I'M FUCKING ADDICTED, SO I CAN'T QUIT!" Good words my good old pal. It was fucking rough going a whole two weeks without playing League. This was the only game I played at this point. (I forgot to mention this was a different account at the time, Wet Ramen.)I truly was addicted to this game. I often skipped going to dinner with my family because I was in a math and I didn't want to leave. I used my mom's credit card to buy skins. I knew what I was doing was bad, but for some reason I just couldn't stop. I truly was addicted. But I didn't care about the suspension, and after it, I just kept on being toxic. I met some friends on League actually, one dude named Lord Darkmoor, he was super chill and was a Draven Main that I met while I was hardstuck high silver elo. I was so cocky and I thought I could make it to gold (which I did eventually,) but the relationship got toxic. We argued a lot over stupid shit over a fucking game. It actually sucked losing a friend over a fucking game. Now, I think he is in Plat or some shit right now. But eventually, the toxicity has gotten me struck with the ban hammer by our good old pals Rito! Uh oh! My account was banned! I was fucking distraught. So, I was desperate, took my sweet little mummie's credit card, and bought a level 30 account.

Yay! A new account... with only 16 champions. So ranked wasn't all that bad, after my placements, I got placed Silver III by maining Camille top. I was still toxic though, but not enough to get a suspension or a ban hammer, but some chat restrictions here or there. I eventually got to Gold and started to play "competitively" with a community called RPL last year. I met some cool people on there, some people I talk to TO THIS DAY! It was a fun time. But after playing the winter split, I stopped playing competitively because I had just started high school with some AP classes mixed in, it was way different then middle school. Everything was pretty fine and I did get one suspension, but I wasn't super duper toxic. But... for some reason, Riot banned me, but not for toxicity though. I contacted Riot and I was like "what the hell my dude, why did you ban my account?" They said it was for "suspicious activity on my account" which made no sense because I never shared my account or anything, maybe it was the constant changing of my IP because my parents are divorced? Idk, anyways it made me kinda sad, BUT, I kinda deserved it because buying an account is not allowed.

And that is when I got a new account, Wetter Ramen! It was all the way in Bronze V so I mean eh. I spent like a week getting it out of bronze because I didn't play that much anymore. Something started to change in me, I didn't have such a big urge to play anymore. I don't know what was changing, but I didn't constantly play 24/7. I eventually got it to Silver III, but then ARURF came out recently. I played some ranked games before I started to play ARURF, and the game just wasn't fun anymore. I did not have fun playing the game. I started to quit ranked and play a whole bunch of ARURF, but even that... I just didn't have as much of a fun time as I did back in 2015-2017. I haven't played this game as much as a lot of y'all, but I still had a hell of an experience. I just quit playing the game entirely. I don't have that crave to play just ONE more game of league before I go to bed, or at anytime. I don't know what clicked, but this just isn't a fun game anymore.

So, I might not completely quit the game, but I'm definitely not going to be playing for a while. Ranked isn't fun, normals isn't fun, URF isn't even fun. This game just makes me angry, not excited. I don't know how many of y'all are feeling the same way I am, but I just wanted to share my experience.
