Why I quit League

Hi there to anyone interested in this post. There's something I wanted to get off my chest for a while which ultimately made me quit LoL. As a Plat player whos been through the trenches of bronze, slowly working my way up for 4 seasons, I committed myself to this game through thick and thin. There have been ample opportunities to quit with all the flamers and ragers that plague this community, but I didn't let that deter me from my love of this game. What made me give up playing is Riot itself, namely the Free Mystery Skin event. The skin I received was "Curling Veigar", by far the worst skin with the least effort put out by Riot and barely even a recolouring. After unvealing the mystery gift... i was shocked and in disbelief. I had a moment of silence, a reflective moment if you will... then it dawned on me... receiving this Curling Veigar was a symbol of my journey through this game. You work your way through literal hell of bronze and silver only to find a different hell in gold and plat. You bite your tongue not to lash out at trolls; because you know you will be banned instead of the aggressors. And at the end of the day how are you rewarded? By being trolled again with nothing to show for it. Now I appreciate Riot for giving it free skins, I was probably just unlucky and got the worst of worst draws. But honestly I probably would not have quit if Riot just gave no skins at all or even took back my skin for nothing. Receiving this Curling Veigar felt like the Ultimate Troll by the game itself and it staring at me from the skin select screen just haunts me every time I look at it. Yes I am bitter. Yes I am mad, got it in before the rest of you could. I've gone to Heroes of the Storm because I can mindlessly drift away while playing, unconcerned about trolls or rage fueled children... play as casually as I want... it truly is bliss. League is a superior game by far and more fun for competitive play, however at the end of the day it's just not worth it. Thank you for a tremendous 5 years of gaming Riot, and I hope you guys achieve making a perfect moba.

This... was very unnecessary and pointless... but also... so emotional. Idk how to respond to this QQ

The moral of the Story don't buy Veigar.

Can't tell if trolling, serious, or both...

My biggest problem with the game.
