Some questions for league veterans

  1. Do you think league is fun and why?

  2. Would you recommend league to a friend and why?

  3. If you have ever taken a long break from league, what brings you back?

I was just wondering these things and figured I would ask the community.

basically when you first play it you think the game is so siick, the plays, the different things you can do. but once you become a real league of legends player all that fun changes, especially when you play ranked, you start to feel the frustration, the tilt, you get angry, you complain to riot "GG good job rito". Some time after that the game no longer becomes fun, by that point it is no longer a fun game, but you still play it anyways because you get hooked on it because you have this strange, usually subconscious belief that if you can do well, you can make it to professional play, where the people who literally have no life get paid to play the game. but your stuck climbing, and as a defence mechanism you say that you cannot climb because of team mates or something is broken. by this point, you hate the game, you want to murder feeders, it is no longer fun, but you still play anyways because all you have done for the last 2 years is play the game. it becomes addictive, like a drug, you hate it, but you still play. after about 3 years or so the game has completely consumed you, you become a shut in, you play the game hours on end, every day, every week. you cancel friends, parties, you stop going out all together, when you do go out, you have this strange feeling in the back of your mind, like an itch you cannot get rid of, a feeling that you could be trying to climb instead of this shit hole. your mum wants you to move out, she wants you to stop playing, but you cant, your too addicted. you then go to uni, and you spend all day long playing the game and no one can say anything to you.

and then at some point in the future, after bot lane goes 0/8 after 7 minutes; you lean back on your chair; and sigh; you then look to your right and hanging on the door you see a jacket with the words "TENNIS SURREY" written on the back, you then think back and remember; i used to be no.1 in surrey, i used to be top 10 in the country, i used to get funding by the lta, i used to compete all over europe, i used to be cool, outgoing, confident and had lots of friends. i used to think that nothing could go wrong.

but it did i then think back, and realise, that 5 years of my life, was gone, that for 5 years i had been throwing away all the talent, hard work, ambition and support from everyone, that i was no longer going to be at Wimbledon, that i had thrown away all the hard work my parents had put in for me, the sacrifice they had to face so that dream, could happen, that they chose me over themselves. i can still see how happy and proud they used to be when i came off court with a big win, how they could tell their friends "their son is top in the country" that "their son is going places, and will keep going places" that they were "proud" of their son.

Now i am completely disappointed in myself, and i can imagine that everyone else is as well.

that fat kid stole my future, if that fat kid hadn't of asked me to play League of Legends, my future would have been so bright and happy, and not so fucked up, and broken. as my dad once said "Wasted Talent"

when i have kids, im sure as hell never letting them play this game.

im just a shadow of someone who used to be great

  1. Yes. I've been around for a while, and as long as you don't get too invested in it or take it too seriously, at least at the level I'm at (Gold 4 at the moment) it's pretty much always been possible to play what you want as long as you're good instead of being required to play FotM champions. Sure, balance is always wonky, but it's been that way since preseason 3 when I joined and it always will be, so I try not to worry about it.

Also, I find that being positive myself seems to reduce how often I meet negative players. They're always going to pop up sometimes, but I've never really noticed it as an actual problem, mostly it's just a mild annoyance.

  1. I would, with a hefty warning about the new player experience. It's a fun game once you get into it (imo), but the learning curve is massive and having smurfed at low levels a little myself it can frankly be brutal trying to win as a newbie with 40 games played against mid gold to high diamond players.

  2. I have, especially during summers, but since I went off to college last year and returned this year it's occupied a fair bit of my time. A lot of that has to do with a friend on the other side of the continent also playing and that being our main interaction.

  1. Do you think league is fun and why? No, riot bans tiny in game banter and players that are bad at the game and not the intentional feeders/afk. Also, you can't carry 1v5 as hard as you could in previous seasons and premades vs non-premades is extremely advantageous to the premades. The rank system is rigged and everyone is boosted. The game could be fun but it just isn't

  2. Would you recommend league to a friend and why? No, cancer community.

  3. If you have ever taken a long break from league, what brings you back? I came back to inflict as much psychological damage to those who are still playing this game as I can. It makes my day a lot better and I can let out the frustrations I get from being nerd raged 24/7. F u ck riot.

The game is okay. The community is trash. The balance often feels WAY off and the meta too stagnant.

As a new player it's better... you're still into the thrill of new things. New champs, learning skills, learning abilities and so on. Provided you don't run into any of the toxic douchers much, it's great. It falls off as you learn the game's flaws and meet more and more of the typical internet douchebags.

Do you think league is fun and why?

honestly no. too much passive aggressive behavior along with the holier than thou attitude. pettiness is also a turnoff.

Would you recommend league to a friend and why?

no. i constantly tell my friends that are considering playing this not to get started just because i know they will be treated very poorly because they might not be good.

If you have ever taken a long break from league, what brings you back?

yes, and honestly i dont know why i keep coming back. seems like it just gets worse and worse each time. i would quit but tbh nah. no justification is needed for my actions.
