Riot you're creating the Afkers...

Before this season I never would of afked.. Games were winnable. (Though I digress, every season since season 5 has become less and less of a chance to come back).

Now? (Not counting ranked games). I AFk if its becoming a snowball. Every lane is losing, and we're hemorrhaging deaths.

Like many of your players Riot. I have a life, work, school, etc. I have 2 hours every day before work when I wake up that I want to play a game. That game used to be League of Legends. I could sit down, enjoy 2-3 games (maybe even squeeze in a quick aram) before I had to go. It was enjoyable.. Now? It's an absolute shit show.

Our team invades, gives 5 kills to the enemy panth, then gives another 4 kills over in 3 minutes... 9-0 by 5 minutes.. yea I afked.. Not even gonna apologize. This season, and last season are an absolute shit show.. There is virtually no coming back (yea it happens once in a blue crystal moon. Not even for me or anyone to care to try to win the lottery). I have better things to do in those 2 hours than waste my time in an obvious loss, waiting to ride it out, whlie teammates refuse to surrender while heavily feeding their own lane.

And you know? It's nobodies fault but Riots.. Having 1 even 2 teammates feeding is a death sentence now. Something completely out of your control... In earlier seasons you could do something about it, you could turtle, change tactics, hell even build different, but all of those options are either non existant now, or have almost no effect.. Building tanky now isn't an option.. hell I remember building tanky as an adc back in season 3-4 if the enemy assassin got hella fed, because it would deny them the easy 1 shot kill on me, and I could still do enough sustained damage.. Now? Nope, they still 1 shot me in half a second..

Turtling isn't an option with rift heralds, and other steroids injected into the already winning team with snowball mechanics, and the completely useless turrets by level 3-4..

The best you can hope for is the enemy team going full r%%%%% right at the end and completely wiffing their teamfight.. Which even whent hey do half the time they still get to steam roll the enemy team because damage is just that insanely high..

I don't blame anyone for afking anymore, and I certainly do not think most games are winnable anymore.

People have better things to do with their limited time, and as I grow up, have a family, a job, etc. and limited time.. League of Legends is starting to become not only a joke, but creating the toxic environments with the direction its going.. Yes me afking is probably creating a toxic environment, but me staying is also creating one too because now I'm wasting my limited time in a game we cannot win, and is pointless....

All of this sounds like you are simply a casual player with no goals to improve at the game, so instead of learning from your loss, you flame and give up and afk... basically you are a quitter, someone who quits when things get tough can never be a winner, you say you have a life outside of playing the game, you are placing that life at the top of your priorities and if you are up against players who are placing this game at the top of their priorities, you wont stand a chance, its that simple. They are out working you, out training you, developing and mastering their skills, while you... you are just playing a few games for 2 hours and then going off to your main priority which is work etc, you can't expect to out play someone who is spending their entire day playing the game when you only spend 2 hours at the most playing the game.

Your mindset isn't where it needs to be in order for you to carry and win bad games, its your mindset that needs to change in order for you to find success. Stop flaming, stop afking, stop blaming riot or your team for your inability to win games, your mental fortitude is non existent if you are afking after 5 minutes of a game just because one person gets fed. You have a weak mind, train your mind, focus on how you can stop the bleeding, what can you do to make a come back and claim your victory. Your mindset the way it is now, you are thinking "their is no way to come back, my team is garbage and its RIOTs fault". and that simply is not true. Train your mind.

If you really want to start winning, make the game a priority, get coaches, watch your replays, watch challenger replays, review your mistakes and try to make that same mistake less often. etc. Part of the reason you will never get better is because you are blaming RIOT for YOU not winning games. That's like going to school failing all of your tests and then blaming the principle for YOU not passing the test when you barely even spent time studying for your test, you just said ok I don't understand this subject so deuces fuck this test, and guess what... you will fail and continue to fail until your mindset changes. players who are in the competitive scene like myself, We beat ourselves up when a mistake is made and find ways to not make that mistake again, we don't blame RIOT, we blame ourselves and get better for it. Why? because you can not control what RIOT does, only thing anyone who ever plays this game can control if they aren't actually A riot dev, is do what IS in their control which is work on themselves, not lose game after game and then blame RIOT.

TBH its player like you that are ruining the game, players who think the game is "only a joke". You are the type that gets mad and runs it down mid creating a horrible experience for the rest of your team, the game is always winnable, but not with a weak mindset like yours, you are also the problem with this generation, you want to win but do absolutely nothing to earn or deserve it. Study hard and you PASS your test, You don't study and don't learn you FAIL your test, its that simple GG

You admit to intentionally going afk. You've afked atleast 5 times in 12 days on norm games. I hope you get in trouble some day because I'd hate having you on my team just to let it be a 4v5. Going afk doesn't solve anything and puts your team at an automatic disadvantage. You afked one game because you fed the enemy Kassadin, what the f* attitude is this? Stop making excuses to do this because YOU performed poorly in your game.
