I quit league for some time only to come back and be reminded that I should've stayed gone.

This is a bit of a rant. It's just my opinion. Feel free to point out the things that I'm wrong about.

Bottom line, League is fucking stressful. The community are assholes. Sure it's easy to play but you won't get to pick your champion either because riot will nerf it (now you have to re-learn your character and its match ups) or someone else chooses your lane (or character) and the character is useless in another lane. This forces you to play lanes that you have no experience with or wasn't taught how to play them but players expect for you to know (the meta) thus creating arguments, AFK's and rage quitting. Getting runes is a pain in the ass if you're not willing to spend the money but they are vital in high level play. When playing ranked individual scores don't matter only winning as a team but players didn't get the memo as some players only care about their K/D ratio. There are matches where you would have one character who's been focusing on snowballing at the expense of his teammates. At the end of it it doesn't matter because riot ranks you if the team wins not because your character has 25 kills and 2 deaths. There is a Meta in league and a lot of people don't even know how it works. It's not like riot is training people themselves on how to play it. The only way to know is to YouTube it and get info from another player (which is probably out dated becuase 3 new patches came out since then). Why doesn't riot have tutorials on how to jungle since now they focus entire patches on it. These are design flaws that make solo queue\ranked unbearable. You shouldn't have to queue up with strangers and call a fucking lane.... c'mon. There are things that riot can do technically to fix this but it seems that they are more focused on Tournament player's rather than the individual player experience.

Sometimes I have fun with league but most of the time I'm pissed off while playing it. This shouldn't be. Games are meant to be fun, a stress reliever, Not fucking work. Now I only play on occasion but I don't take it serious anymore.

Anyway's thanks for reading..... I just had to get that off my chest.

Well first of all runes can't be bought with RP. Only IP. But anyways, just mute everyone else and just play normals and relax. Just play whatever and enjoy your time. Try new champions or builds. If you are letting other people dictate how you play/how much fun you have, then you aren't having as much fun as you could be having.

You could play teambuilder which sadly you cant ban any of the broken champions but you still get to play your desired role no fuss except the long times it takes to find someone but yea 70% of the community is not the greatest.

Sounds like a personal problem.
