A Message From a League Ranked Quitter

I'm not sure why I wanted it so bad, to grow and be something more in league. If not becoming a pro league player, than just being a part of a league team in some way. I dont know why i felt so strongly about it, spending hours playing, hours watching the pros. I tried to stay positive, and try to carry myself some way some how. I learned every position, acknowledged my mistakes, tried to carry myself. And after a year, I've come to understand it's just not possible for me. I've gone through 4 ranked teams, that just seem to fall off and disappear, several duo q partners, and I always get a brick wall in silver 2. And i want to say it's all my fault, and I want to take all the blame, I wouldn't be as mad about it if it was all my fault. But it isn't, not anymore, there's nothing I can do about the fed enemy champions when no one knows how to be less aggressive when they've already fed 2 kills. I've made my mistakes, and I've fed before, but I was always looking to grow and change. I cant see the light in this game competitively anymore. Of course no one cares, and no one is going to miss my ass in ranked, there's plenty more. I just cant put myself through this roller coaster of emotions anymore.

This is why there are modes besides ranked. Now go out there and have some fun. You deserve it.

To attain a high level of performance you must detach your emotions from the results that you are seeing and analyze your play objectively to see how you can approve.

It has been said before, but if your objective is to get better you will ultimately perform better than someone whose objective is to win.

I'll give you an example from bowling. The person who bowls a strike gets a good result, but if it was a Brooklyn (hitting the wrong side of the head pin), then in fact it was a bad throw with a lucky outcome. The bowler shouldn't be happy with that result. He should be happier with a throw that hits the pocket on the correct side of the headpin that doesn't yield a strike, because it is closer to the correct throw than the Brooklyn strike is.
