You know what, I give up.

Niyumi··1 votes·405 views

It doesn't matter how much I play (and I've played far more than a lot of people, especially in gold), it doesn't matter how much I practice a champ... it just doesn't matter what I do because, in the end, any champ I enjoy is just pathetic compared to the whale-advocated money makers that just aren't enjoyable at all. That, combined with the fact that 9/10 of my teams are entirely incompetent... there's just no reason to even try any more.

Sure, I could just go and play braindead, boring as hell champs that are basically free wins, but I don't have any fun that way. I could play the champs I enjoy and play them to a great level, but even at their best they're just pathetic, and lose over and over to some braindead clicker. I could only queue in premades, but then I get put against other premades who are taking the game as seriously as they possibly can, and give up having fun just to win... but none of that is enjoyable.

So, you know, I give up. I'm done trying to climb, I'm done trying to pretend I can compete using any fun champ, I'm done pretending like something will happen if people notice Riot's greed... I'm just done. Gaming is dead, and it's not coming back. Sooner I accept that, the sooner I can get over it. I wish I could see my childhood hobby again, but I watched humanity's greed kill it right in front of me, and I know it's not coming back.

So, you win, gimme generation. I'm done.

What does greed/whales have to do with Leagues balance? Some of the lowest win rate champions right now are in the most expensive tier....

Go look through my history. I've typed probably 20 college papers' worth on the topic, and I don't feel like repeating myself again.

You've got nothing on the subject before "show more". The closest I can see is you trying to compare Leagues champion updates to MMO expansions, but that's a pretty flimsy argument at best, considering the level of animation detail, PvP balance, voice lines, etc.

Few months ago, I was talking about "Going to business school for kiddies." Look that up after mashing the button several times. Should explain it enough.

Give up then, why post here? nothings going to change because one summoner leaves. they will be another to post here, to complain here, to rant and flame here. No one is interested in a dead end story.

tough time in game? deal with it.

Not happy with League and the community? deal with it.

tried your best and still not succeeding? deal with it.

If League was easy there would be more Platinum players than bronze. which is not the case.

so quit, uninstall, your looking for help? then don't give up, FIGHT, but if it's the end of the road for you.

Then Good bye summoner.

Oh I'm not quitting, I'm just giving up on trying to have fun while still being competitive. Just goinna go play all the boring champs that I don't enjoy just because they're free wins, and I'm goinna not go around preaching about how terrible F2P is since no one really gives a damn anyway.

All I've done is get all worked up because I get beaten simply because someone clicks on me as I put in all this work to try and make a harder champion work, and I make enemy after enemy by always being so negative. Just kind of tired of it all.

People tell me that I play a lot better than my ELO (even though I don't believe it), but even if I'm a god at outplaying people with say Lissandra, anyone with half a brain can play an ADC or someone like Zed (his ult has a shorter CD) and just instantly win with little to no effort. But, I can turn around and play some easy champion like an ADC or Jax or something along those lines and just absolutely stomp all over everyone, but I feel bad doing it since I'm not really putting in any effort, and it feels like cheating. So, I always insisted on playing champions that I feel are fair, and that I enjoy playing... but that's ultimately my downfall.

And then, with all my preaching and whatnot about how terrible F2P is, and how greedy Riot is, all I've done is piss people off because I'm not a very... eloquent speaker. Very blunt and not at all polite. Even if my point is good, the way I say it ruins it all, and I just make enemies out of people even though I complain so much about how I don't have friends and all that. I've actually hurt peoples' feelings too, even if I think the reason behind them being hurt is silly. But, knowing me, I'll never be able to seriously apologize without sounding like an asshole, even if I want to.

So, yeah, just kind of tired of all the bullshit I create. League and its forums will be a better place if I just shut up and cry to myself about how terrible everything is instead of publicly spewing it all over, and I'll actually climb if I just play what wins, even if it's less fun for me.

greed kill gaming?

mate if you want those types of games wtf you doing on league? there is plenty of kick-ass tittles out there right this second waiting for you.

P.S. i love league but its a completley different beast to your ''childhood'' games. its like saying apples are dead to me, i just can't eat them but i can't find any oranges....

No, there aren't. Good games are far and few between nowadays. The companies we would have laughed out of the industry are now all we have.

B00B002 votes

elaborate.

The Witcher3 Dark Souls 3 (mention 3 as its fantastic and is also the last and latest in the series) Bloodborne Tomb Raider Rebooted (better than originals) mortal combat X (fantastic tittle, even better than tekkie series this particular one)

fallout4 - while no where neat The witches level of perfection is still a strong, solid and fun tittle and a great world to explore, which is hand crafted.

Skyrim, has to be mentioned as it is fantastic although now old i would say, although the modding community is fantastic and creates massive new continents and adventures.

firewatch, an indie tittle but seriously good Until Dawn Alien Isolation (very, very good)

DiabloIII (and I and II but old hence why i say III) - release ''state'' has no bearing as D2 is considered one of the best of the games genre ever made and had the exact problems D3 had on release until LOD (D2's expansion) as D3 did until Reaper of Souls.

pvp your thing?

Overwatch - fantastic competitive PvP tittle on any platform. RainbowSix Siege - on of the best team-based competitive shooters around, very under rated but 100% bonified masterpeice
Destiny - acquired taste but flawless shooter mechanics, the smoothest around and is very fun, not competitive but fun for lols, story is good too though community doesn't like the way it was presented, neither do i, but the story itself is one of the best around if you read it.

need i go on? has been one of the best 2years for gaming in a LONG time, no idea wtf you are complaining about.

{quoted} The Witcher3

Too dark for me, and not really my kind of game.

Dark Souls 3 (mention 3 as its fantastic and is also the last and latest in the series)

I liked 1 and 2, but 3 is just kind of more of the same, and I burned out on it not even halfway through.

Bloodborne

Never tried it, but I've been meaning to now that I have a PS4.

Tomb Raider Rebooted (better than originals)

Same as above.

mortal combat X (fantastic tittle, even better than tekkie series this particular one)

Not really much a fan of fighters if they're not Smash Bros. xD Although I loved Soul Calibur as a kid.

fallout4 - while no where neat The witches level of perfection is still a strong, solid and fun tittle and a great world to explore, which is hand crafted.

I bought FO4 the day it came out. I loved it at first, but then it just really got old really fast. I don't know why, since I loved FO3 and New Vegas... but FO4 just kind of got boring. I'm not even that far into the story.

Skyrim, has to be mentioned as it is fantastic although now old i would say, although the modding community is fantastic and creates massive new continents and adventures.

Played the living hell out of Skyrim. xD Not sure what more I can do in it.

firewatch, an indie tittle but seriously good Until Dawn

Never played these two, but I've heard bad things about Firewatch.

Alien Isolation (very, very good)

I actually do own Alien Isolation, and it is fun, but it's spooky. xD Can only play it in little bursts or I won't sleep.

DiabloIII (and I and II but old hence why i say III) - release ''state'' has no bearing as D2 is considered one of the best of the games genre ever made and had the exact problems D3 had on release until LOD (D2's expansion) as D3 did until Reaper of Souls.

I grew up playing Diablo 2 and WoW (as far as computer games go). Diablo 3 just... kind of fell flat for me. Maybe it's because I play games alone, but once I beat the story it just kind of lost appeal for me.

pvp your thing?

Overwatch - fantastic competitive PvP tittle on any platform.

I do have Overwatch and play it occasionally. But I spend a lot more time on League and WoW.

RainbowSix Siege - on of the best team-based competitive shooters around, very under rated but 100% bonified masterpeice

Rainbow isn't as good if you play it alone. Sometimes I play with my brother and his friends, but rarely.

Destiny - acquired taste but flawless shooter mechanics, the smoothest around and is very fun, not competitive but fun for lols, story is good too though community doesn't like the way it was presented, neither do i, but the story itself is one of the best around if you read it.

I need to try Destiny. I hear so many terrible things about it, but I loved the stories in Halo, so it has to be at least somewhat good, right?

need i go on? has been one of the best 2years for gaming in a LONG time, no idea wtf you are complaining about.

A question for you: In the last two years, what game is like the modern Ocarina of Time? Where just about literally everyone has played it, and everyone knows about it, and it absolutely sets a trend for the genre?

Compared to the older games, the newer ones just lack soul -- I don't know how else to explain it. The old games felt alive, and you could tell the developers poured all they had into them. Nowadays, games feel so mechanical and movie-like, they don't feel alive and feel super scripted and staged. There is no life anymore, and you can tell the developers aren't doing as much as they used to. That's what I mean when I say gaming is dead. It's not that there aren't good games being produced anymore, it's just that the industry has lost its passion, and the games no longer show all the hard work and dedication developers put in. Sure, you have fancy graphics, but that's it. The games aren't so much a window into another world, they're just a play on cliches and poor creativity. They just don't feel alive anymore.
