Why I'll quit for a while.
Just leaving a thread explaining why I'll try to play this game less. It is so addictive I have a hard time stepping away from LoL, but this game has too many issues, not that they are new, but they don't get fixed.
First you have the toxic community, now I know every game has its share, but due to the nature of the game, a team game where you can't leave before 20 minutes and where you might even get forced to keep playing after that if you team does not agree on a surrender, toxicity reaches a whole new level, sure you can ''ignore" those players and they added an OP ''mute button'' but I get the feeling that Riot just do not wish to truly deal with toxic player, how often do I hear people saying how they don't give a damn cuz they won't get punished anyways, or that reporting people doesn't do shit, sure it does at some point but it takes way too much time, and when you've been level 30 for years, there is no reason why someone with 2000+ victories can call you ''piece of shit'' or say that ''his team is garbage'', first offense? I mean... come on!
Then there is the problem of dc's and afk's. I dealt with those in the past and maybe I'm just having bad luck, but since preseason 5 began, the numbers of those I get is insane, pretty much at least a dc or 5+ min afk on one team or the other everygame. and then again, not only do people keep afking when their team do bad, Riot's server seems to have gotten worse. In my last 30 games, I could count on one hand the number of games that went smoothly. Riot's solution? Put people in a 5 games low priority queue, this is a real joke.
Finally there is lag, too many games played where at least one player has some insane ping or starts moonwalking. I mean in a game where every fractions of seconds counts, things have to run smoothly.
I still think League is a great game, and if anyone can live with those problems, I'm happy for them, but it is too frustrating for me right now. I hope that players who are in a similar situation while upvote and that players who are not will still be able to understand how these problems can affect the quality of gameplay and the overall experience with the game.
