This game has stopped being fun for me

I have played LoL for the past 5 years. It has grown to be the one game I play all the time, the game that I love most and the first online game that I ever put money into. I have seen the game change and I liked most of it. But during the past months, the game has simply stopped being fun. This account here is not my first, but right now it's the only account I really play on. The plan for it was to get 30 and just play some rankeds to see where I would get placed. I thought I could just relax, do what I want and have some fun while still climbing. Well, not so much... The way to level 30 was a nightmare. 10 minutes of queue for every game only to get matched with a bunch of "Best Vayne EU"s or "Riven or Feed"s. Most of them were Dia+ smurfs while I am a poor plat dude who hardly ever plays ranked. The games were not enjoyable at all. I felt like dead weight most of the time and when I did good, it was mostly because I had a lot of help. Playing against people who were far better than me also frustrated me a lot and I started being quite salty which I wasn't before... I finally got 30 but had to continue grinding, because I only had 10 champs. It felt like I only played LoL to advance and not for fun. I started getting bored of playing my best champs every game, so I tried out some stuff and lost almost every game. I played ARAM and 3v3 too but they became boring quickly. I'm done seeing so many mains and tryhards in normals. Sure, you will say "but trying to win isn't bad", but thats not what I mean. I don't mind the people who play Lee or Rengar or Fizz, but what bugs me are those people who play one champ every game and will always go hard on you. They will invade you, camp your lane and do as much as they can to make you have an unenjoyable game. And later you look at their profile and see that they have over 100k points on their champ... Why are there 120 champions if only 15 of them are actually good and picked almost every game? Why is there a queue for tryharding but people do it in normals instead? Why does every champ have to snowball hard and become total bullshit instead of just being good, but not amazing in all phases of the game. Why does everybody play LoL like theyre a professional player? What kind of enjoyment do you get from stomping people with your main in normal games? I'm done with this game and I guess it's good like that. The game seems to have no more place for casuals like me who don't want to learn the rules of rotation, composing teams and counterpicking but would rather play a champ they like and have some fun. I just regret having played so many hours and having spent so much money...

It's probably for the better, tbh. If you can't have fun playing the game (especially if non-ranked, low level trolls can get under your skin when the game literally has 0 bearing on anything) than this game probably isn't for you. Every problem you stated in your post are problems that pretty much only exist in low level, unranked play. Soooooo either quit the game or go back to ranked where people you play with are around the same skill level as you. (Ya, no shit, when you start a new account of course the players you play with are going to suck and call roles regardless of what their assigned).
