League has gotten super stressfull over time, like a second job to come home to.

In season 2 I can vaguely remember it being a somewhat casual experience where no one gave a damn, games were drawn out and chill and you could mostly play whatever the fuck you wanted, even things including old AP Taric or AD Sion which were my mains back then.

What the game has gotten now is an extremely stressful, rushed and pressuring experience that I realized is affecting my mental health in levels that seem absurd when I remember how the game used to be. Just as the title suggests, I come home from a job where I have to already do super stressful work and take a lot of responsibility to come home from something that is almost even worse. This is supposed to be a casual video game, a free time experience to have fun with, and for that kind of thing you have to take it way too seriously and play like a fucking marathon player.

I realized that this game slowly turned into something that really doesn't suit me at all, into somewhat of a person that is trying to be the very best at everything, failing at it and then making you super depressed. I'm not that kind of person. I'm just a random dude that wants to have a fun experience playing video games and sadly League doesn't provide this anymore.

I would probably quit if I didn't invest so much time and money into it already. It used to be the perfect balance between casual and challenging, now it's only the latter and casual League is pretty much dead at this point.

Play exclusively with friends or don't play at all. There's no point in continuing if you don't enjoy it. Not trying to be a dick- seriously, consider other games if this one isn't fun. That's what games are for.

I mean it's just so fucking sad. It's been 4 years now, I've grown attached to it and now it's just so hard to even play one game of it. Think about all the hours that I've been playing it for, all the money I wasted on it. Throwing it all away, just like that?

If I'm going to quit, it will be extremely hard to let go of it.

Mental health > however much money you spent on league

respect yourself

and quit the game if this is really how you feel

How much money did you put in, for it to be worth sacrificing your time and well-being?

Your account isn't going anywhere. If you ever wanted to come back to play URF or whatever, your skins are still here. I'm sorry, but you sound really fucking dumb. Forcing and stressing your mental, just because you spent too much money on a free online game? Just pull the plug, how much more will league tax from you? Money, mental health, time, you're the only one allowing this to happen. Fucking stop.

When I want a more casual experience I play Normal Draft. This is when I break out champions that I enjoy playing but that aren't very good right now (hello Aatrox) or pick what I want in lane regardless of the team comp (super squishy jungle and support picked? I'm still going something fun top and not feel pressured into playing a tank) without feeling guilty of ruining ranked games for people. I mean, some people are still toxic in normals because no one likes to lose, but that's the internet for you.
