Why I quit 7 months ago, but recently came back

I have seen a couple "I am quitting and here is why" posts, and so I have decided to make my own with a twist.

I started playing League from day 1. When the first season came out I hit bronze, was very proud!. Season 2 I hit silver, was even prouder. In Season 3 i hit platinum, and season 4 hit platinum again and even had a couple tries at Diamond through promos. Never did capitalize. After I wasn't able to hit diamond I quit playing. It wasn't rage induced. I was burnt out. I went from playing a couple games a week during season 1 to 4 games a week during season 2 and it steadily progressed where the only thing I wanted to do was play league of legends. I was taking the game way to seriously.

I recently came back and I am enjoying the game for the first time in a long time. I am going to curb my playing though as I picked up weight lifting during the 7 months I stopped playing and have gotten into the best shape of my life and I really enjoy that much more now.

I no longer care about leagues or afks or trolls. It is so liberating. I am never going to be a pro league player, so what does it matter? I play the game for fun now instead of for leagues. I am currently gold 3 and its enjoyable. Climbing from placement in Gold 5. No desire to get platinum or diamond. If it happens so be it. I feel totally free for the first time in a long time. No ladder anxiety or promo anxiety. It feels great!

My advice: If you are quitting it is most likely because you are burnt out, take a break, pick up some outside hobbies, or gym stuff. Don't take the game so seriously. You may find you will enjoy it for whats it meant to be. A Game. It's all about perspective.

Good luck to everyone out there!
