I feel like I'm finally getting to the point where I can't stand playing League anymore...

...and I don't know if that's because of Season 8 right now or I'm just fed up with the game as a whole and feel like moving on.

When I started playing roughly 4 years ago, I was in the mentality of this being a fun game to play with friends, since some of them recommended it to me. I downloaded it, tried it out and it was amazing for me to play considering this was my first exposer to a MOBA game. And later I joined the boards to be with the community more.

But now fast forward through several class reworks that mostly failed, a couple of horrible metas that we were stuck with for a while, and numerous balance problems later to today. Damage is through the roof, there are so many unnecessary buffs and debuffs, some debuffs are also meet with compensation buffs, towers feeling like wet toilet paper, games going to "stomp or being stomped", etc.

No one, or at the very least the super vast majority of the community, is happy with the game. All I ever see on the boards are people saying something about how bad this season is. Hell, Scarra shared his thoughts on the game and I could just see that he wasn't happy with it. Dyrus I know quit a while ago, how many other streamers have quit?

Let's not forget just cancerous champs to play against, like Yasuo, Zoe, Zed or hell new Akali. It doesn't matter if people say these champs have counterplay, people just don't like playing against them because of how they play. I don't want to face new Akali and have her keep killing me under tower because she can just hide from it. I don't want to face Yasuo for darting around my minions which to most other champs is like a safety shield.

Just...I don't feel happy when I play. I started playing to get together with friends, but here I am 4 years laters still playing by myself and whatever friends I made online barely play anymore. Who knows, maybe when worlds is over and we start rolling into Season 9 things may get better but if it doesn't... Idk maybe that's just when I'll finally say "I'm done" and just move on.

I don't want to quit a game I fell in love with. But with how it's going right now and possibly in the future, quitting cold turkey doesn't sound that bad right about now.
