Im done with League

Ive been playing league on and off for about 4 years now. I have never achieved anything decent (highest rank of Gold 3), but Ive still spent hundreds of hours playing the game and have spent hundreds of dollars on the game. Ive come to the realisation that this has been a complete waste, I feel since season 3 the game has devolved into something that has become utterly insufferable, Riot seems to be taking their game and the competitive scene less and less seriously. For example, the patch notes are now filled with stupid puns that I feel dont belong in something that is as serious as they should be. The patch notes determine the future of the game, one of the most important things Riot controls. I also used to watch every competitive game I could, but now the broadcasts spend 60% of the time either in waiting screens or talking about something that could be covered in half the time. I feel Riot have spent the last 18 months going down the wrong path with the game, this does not mean I know the right path or what path would be best for me to enjoy the game in the future, but with the way the game is now and the way its been heading I cant see myself ever coming back to League.

You've spent about 661 hours on League of Legends which means 28 days of your life

You've played literally half the amount I have, and I started last June.

You think you feel you blah blah blah. We don't care what you think. Gtfo, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Your complaints are beyond stupid. You don't like puns in patch notes? Really? So stupid. I'm glad you are leaving, because no one likes a whiney bitch.

Plenty of things have changed with LoL over time, but I'm having a hard time discerning the critical flaws that have made you so disappointed. In your declaration I only see two specified complaints.

  1. Patch notes contain puns

  2. Competitive match coverage spends too much time talking about nothing

Well, ok. If those are the reasons that have drained all fun from your experience and make you want to quit: sorry things didn't work out for you.

But consider the following:

Concerning problem 2: Have you spent any time watching major network sports coverage and/or ESPN, NFL, MLB, NHL, Golf - networks? Have you witnessed "Pre-Game Roundtable", "Post Game Discussion", "Draft Predicions", etc. Have you ever watched a broadcast baseball game in entirety? Sportscasters and commentators live to talk about nothing, forever. If anything eSports broadcasting is becoming more like, well, sports broadcasting. I don't have an opinion on whether this is a good or bad thing. But, honestly, what did you expect?

Concerning problem 1 - I don't have an opinion, and remain unbothered by patch note puns. But how do they affect actual gameplay?
