I have finally quit LoL - here's why

Seriously I love this game, but last night I decided it was the final straw and uninstalled for what I think is the last time (hopefully). Honestly I feel like so many people who play this game can't understand what Riot has produced is a game with the simple purpose of being fun. I do suck at this game, but I see way too many people get angry at the littlest things. Yes, I get frustrated too sometimes, but abusing someone verbally will NOT help them learn. Instead, tell them what they did wrong, or if they know they made a bad mistake, just shrug it off. After all, it's just a game.

Why was last night the last straw? Here is a quick rundown.

  • My client crashes, Sona says f**k noob jg
  • Darius is low health while I run from base to try to save him, he walks into a bush without warding and instantly dies, blaming the whole thing on me
  • Darius, again, is level 17 while I am lvl 15 Jax (my fault for not csing enough), tries to engage on a lvl 18 Mundo and lvl 16 Udyr, both who are very tanky, and expects me to follow him. Says its my fault, but the fact I was underleveld should have been a warning sign to him
  • I end up 5/7, while my team holds similar scores, and 3 of my teammates attempt to report me for unskilled player, while our Lucian, thank god, is a nice guy. Side note: I do not appreciate people using mental disorder as a form of insult, because you don't know the person behind the screen. You can't judge them by how they play a game.

I admit I made many mistakes, including tower diving Mundo at level 4 and failing, missing a dragon steal, csing horribly, and pulling off only one successful gank. But did I provoke these players with verbal abuse? Not until they did the same to me. Don't even get me started on "KSing". You guys should see the pros play, where no one could care less about trading a kill for an assist. And the worst part? These people know they're toxic. And yet they continue to flame and make people perform worse than they would if they were just left alone.

Anyways that was my last game, and I think I'm done. These people just ruin the game for me. Thank you Riot for making this game and I've had fun playing it but it ruins my mood that people like this can't be removed from the game. It's just disgusting.

Thank you Riot, Ultimate Snipe

One of the things, (Here comes the important part) I think, (OH NO ITS AN OPINION! SHUN IT) is the LCS. I think that people would have more fun and enjoy League better if they didn't care about the Meta. I like doing off meta picks, Brand JG, Velkoz Lux Bot. And I have a fun experience. I hate it when I get flamed because I'm not following the meta. But hey, that's just one outsider's opinion
