Even though I love the game, I think it's time to quit...
I have been playing this game for god knows how long. I remember getting into my first ever game not knowing what a MOBA was and getting utterly destroyed. At first I thought this game sucked, but i had friends along who had already played the game and could teach me.
Eventually I settled into the role of midlane and began to do well. I moved from playing "easy" champs like annie, to playing harder champions that required better mechanics. It was at this time that some of my friends began to stop playing. Some had to focus on school, and others ragequit. I'll admit that there were times I ragequit too, but I always got back into the game.
Why am I telling you this? Because now most of my friends never went back, and the few that did are always on the verge of leaving. After taking a year break from LoL, we made new accounts and started fresh. We brought along new friends and had a good time until recently. Some of them stopped playing because it was too time consuming, and others were tired of being constantly yelled at.
Now its only me and one other guy left. He's one of the nicest people you could ever meet, and it pains me to see the adc blame him for the adc's own mistakes. As you can tell he is a support and I have now moved to top lane. When he's not online, I still play, but now i'm beginning to think its better to find another game.
Even in games were I completely destroy my lane, and the adc wins theirs, a troll or unskilled player can feed and completely lose the game for us. This is not even counting afk (which seems very rampant atm). Even when I do well, the enemy team still harasses me. I can take verbal abuse, but its the constant stream of it that has worn me down.
No matter how well you do, no matter how many times you gank, no matter how many times you save someone, people will still tear you down the second you make a mistake. I'm tired of carrying teams only to have them feed the enemy victory, i'm tired of my friends and myself being yelled at, and frankly I find that this game wastes so much time. 20 mins at least if not more if your team won't surrender a 0-20 game.
Perhaps I'll play a little more, but I think i'll go the route of many others and look for another game. I love this game and its characters, but the community is killing me.
