The Real Reason You'll Probably Never Stop Playing This Game

Unicky··3 votes·739 views

I see it all the time on the boards "I'm quitting league" "I'm done with league" "Fuck this game" etc. but they never really do, do they? Of course not, they stopped for like 30 minutes or maybe a month or 2 at the most and hopped right back on. I'm pretty new to this game at least compared to some of you, I've only been playing since around patch 4.20 or preseason 5 if you will. I don't think I've been through nearly as much bullshit with this game as a lot of you have. Some of us just can't admit that we love this game.

Passion is something that can cause you to do something extremely dumb, impulsive and/or spiteful or something that can drive you to do something great. Passion is something that can make you much more aware of the flaws (especially if you've loved something for so long) or make you blind to them. You aren't complaining because you don't like this game. you're complaining because you actually love this game, the stories, the characters, the splash arts, the gameplay, the competition, the experiences, the plays, these are the reasons why you love this game. These are the things that will bring you back here time and time again.

Of course, that doesn't mean that these flaws don't exist within the game or that anything like that. League isn't a perfect game nor a perfectly balanced one and probably never will be. All we can do is offer our opinions and help Riot in any way we possibly can to make this game as good as it can possibly be.

Note: This felt really cheesy to write, so cut me some slack, will ya? Or don't whatever you have to say, post it in the comments. (Edit: I actually encourage you vent your frustrations here,)

I dont have a problem with the game, my problem is

the toxic players. The top laners who stay top 35 min out of a 40 min game, even when other team is in your base. The mid laners who just refuse to pressure their lane to keep their opponant from roaming. All the ADCs running around in the jungle. Junglers who attempt their 1st gank 15 min into the game after the others teams jungle has hit each lane at least once. ADCs who tell their support "you let me die" Annie, lux and nidalee supports who just refuse to build a sightstone ADC hiemers who then turn around and build tank. ;/ That player who seems to not play with their speakers up or eyes open or else they would of heard and seen the 30 pings you pinged telling them to gtfo......then they die. Poeple who think trinkets are enough and cant spare at least 75 gold during game to get a extra ward. Teemo junglers who get executed back to back times by the blue buff to start the game.

List can go on but yeah with all that i will keep playing lol

Can you explain to me the point of working through a competitive system on my own merit, only to end up with 30 minute queue times getting placed against premades 500 MMR above me or get matched with diamonds 300 MMR below me?

And let's not forget the massive number of people now getting boosted by premades of diamonds/masters, because such things are legal in this amazing new system. Why make an effort for something completely meaningless?

no peoples really quit the game, take me for exemple. peoples like me stay around the board just in hopes to see some radical changes to the ranked system but in vain, and someday the habit to sonsult the board will be gone also. i miss the league of legend of 2010-2011 its a totaly different game in 2016 and its not good anymore not worth playing so i stopped. what really grind my gears is peoples like you trying to tell peoples like me that we will never stop when we actualy did and just hang around the board. visit w w w . quitlol . c o m to help yourself

Yeah pretty true. And no matter how much some people out there wanna call this game trash, it's really hard to find an alternative they would enjoy more. HoTs and Dota don't appeal to me, Smite doesn't give me the enjoyment LoL gives me. It'd be really hard for me to find a game that I would enjoy more. Since LoL is just a great game.

Overwatch has been out for a day, and people are already complaining about balance. And from people who have played multiple MOBAS, LoL is (according to them) pretty balanced compared to the other options.
