RIOT has cured my addiction.

I was thinking about this recently, I am realized that League was something that I truly enjoyed for a long period of time because of the strategies, interesting complexities, and comradery. I am 41 years old and have many responsibilities, but always found time to play a few games. I played most days for more than 4 years and I blame(and also appreciate in some ways) my old coworkers for getting me into the game. Addicted for sure. I enjoyed the strategy, reading literature, item builds, runes, patch notes, watching videos, and trying to improve. I even spent some money, to show my support for their game. Now, I do not claim to be a good player.. but always tried my best to win based on the underlying conditions that RIOT gave us. I always thought the next game would be better if I had a bad one (a faulty assumption in many cases). I have never been chat banned or punished in any way, and cannot stand toxicity – but I dealt with this as part of package. I found the forums interesting to read, and appreciated that RIOT was trying to improve many facets of the game and make the game better. I thought some of the tools to deal with behavior were interesting and I even enjoyed reading the unpopular RIOT lyte’s posts (I thought he had many good ideas). I could give a shit less about LCS, or the pro scene.. I played for my own personal satisfaction. With all of this being said – I have lost interest in playing.. its almost like RIOT gave me a nicotine patch that I am now using to wean myself off this addiction with their decisions in the past 1-2 years. What is now missing in the game has been brought out in numerous forums posts. The game is no longer fun for me.
The final straws were recently playing an ARAM game where I had Alistar and literally got blown up within 2 seconds 2 minutes into the game, and a game where I attempted to play ADC in a normal game and had a pre 6 brand/swain bot lane kill me so quickly that I could not even react, and another game where I built 2 armor items with Rammus into an AD team and got destroyed so quickly that I wondered why the strategy of building armor even existed(even with RAmmus).
These kind of things truly disgust me as a player who has played since season 4. It is very clear the direction of the game is wrong for me as a player/ person. I honestly think that RIOT has lost its direction, and are not staying true to original designers philosophy. It is probably a good thing that I get off this addiction and do something else with my time. I guess I should thank RIOT, as I can now use my spare time doing other things.
