Eventually I will start leaving every game before the 10min mark. I'm almost 30yrs ols and I'm not having enjoyment playing a game when my team is always behind. -Enemy mid lane is 3 lvs ups on me while my yaso is 1 -4 = not fun.

I see no purpose in trying anymore.
Playing against premade kids or users that are over Lv400 (yea how the fuck is that fun) Obese kids mainly i bet)
Frankly no one near my age to even have fun with since our work schedules are different.
I'm basically leading towards locking this game against out my firewall since Riot can't IP banned me too stop playing.

Lol um ... bye?

I am 30 and I have no issues keeping up with this game, even with a full time job. .. Then again, maybe it's because I have a full time job and I only play to have fun. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not getting drafted by TSM, so it really doesn't matter to me what my rank is.

If you're going to have the attitude that if you're not winning by the first 10 minutes, you're just going to screw over your teammates, .. please stop playing completely.

And wishing ill on people, ... yeah, good riddance.

Although, I highly doubt you're really done. People say they're done all the time on here and I see them post again a week later.

So see you later.

Let's see. I'm 37 years old. I love league. I'm a career gold player. I know it. The highest I've been is gold 2 100lp on this account, gold 1 100lp on my other. If the stars align, and I stop swapping roles, I can probably squeak into plat. I have a Bachelor's degree, but my last job was manual labor mill work 48 hours a week, for reasons. My car is paid off, my house, my land. I got a GF. She's married, but who cares. Still counts. I'm in shape, I work out. I could post a pic if you like.

The only reason I dont play league as much as I used to, is none of my friends like it. So, I would rather just play the games they like to have people to BS with and have fun with then play league solo. But, currently there is nothing anyone is really playing(LOR), so I've came back to league for a bit. I dont feel like Ive lost any reaction time. Hell, I think I'm even better because I just dont rage anymore. Just let the chips fall where they may. I dont think I have any more issues than I used to have, even with all the extra mobility champs. Maybe its because I've played videogames since I was 3. Started with an intellivision.

I've just came to the realization that Videogames are my favorite hobby. I'm not gonna be ashamed of it. I accept it. At various points in my life, I may have felt like I was wasting time. But, I've just accepted it at this point. This is my life, I feel like I've done pretty well, and my only regrets is not having kids yet. Now if I had kids, maybe I couldnt keep up anymore.

OP, its not your age or your job holding you down. If you dont see purpose in getting better, the game is not for you. League may be a team game, but in reality its a game about personal improvement. Getting better one game to the next. If you cant enjoy just increasing your own skill, then you are right; quit. Go play LoR, or a non-team game, because I think its teams that are dragging you down. My best buddy HATES all team games. He just cannot stand "being dragged down" by other players. I'd argue there are many a times hes the one dragging people down, but so be it.

The main way to get enjoyment out of league is focusing on self improvement. I mean just for giggles, I did the reaction time test. Average score over 5 tries: 175ms. I know its not scientifically correct, but I'm 37 years old(I'll be 38 in May). I dont know if I had much faster 10-15 years ago.

..... This is a forum site I can say whatever comes to mind. We all can say whatever, even tho we all have no clue if we are obese, or if we all have a decent job in real life..

League of Legends is a team game and with a lot of backfire.

Different ages can play this game
Time management comes into play
Premade system
Smurfs or trolls who don't care win/lose

A typical solo gamer like myself who works too hard wants to comeback to his own house and enjoy some competitiveness alongside 4 other adults in the same boat who use voice chat. That's the only reason why i would play this game again. Obviously why play with randoms when you already know it's a loss and which kids don't understand adults don't enjoy wasting their free time after a long day of work.

@elite4runner posting here is a lot different than actual playing this game again. if you lack ambition even with an full-time job than you really don't understand the life cycle. I will teach you the cycle since you haven't learnt it yet or you are just lacking what I'm lacking.

As men we should provide for the family= Wife+ kids at the certain age of 30+ i know women can work as well, so sometimes men can accept the maternity leave. As men we want to improve our career/jobs to provide for the family. As Time management comes into with our families involved, needless to say if you aren't putting much effort to improving yourself into finding a better job/career than your actually wasting your extra free time wherever you work. As for your compete level if you only play to have fun? Losing streaks aren't fun/ getting beat up by premades isn't fun. So basically if you are playing with in real life friends or 4 random other adults with voice chat, you already have what I'm wishing i could have to even have fun playing this game.

In the end why play?
