Should I quit League?

Aids cuz League··1 votes·1,165 views

Im thinking about quitting League, I was a positive attitude player starting off, but when I played PvP that slowly sunk, very slowly, but surely, soon enough I was raging at my teammates, its like an infection. The problem is, I don't rage at them because of trolling or toxicity.. I rage at them because of how unbelievably stupid they play. I ward, I ward all day long when I am a support. Sightstone is my first purchase, and I end up using all of them every time I'm out in the field. When i mid, the 2 mid bushes aren't what I ward, I ward the jungle first because I've played mid enough to know counters of all the mids, and even non counters(example: Katarina and Vel'Koz, Kat jumps behind Vel while Vel is ulting, usually results in the Vel Counter, but I use my E as soon as that ult starts). The randoms I play with are literally so stupid, that half the time, it DOES make me want to click the exit game button, but I don't. I've played Ranked S4 and S5, ended up bronze, S4 and S5, and ive come to the conclusion that it isn't worth the skin. It's not even worth playing, Summer or not Summer. But here are the reasons why I think this(Keep in mind, most of these people were actually nice people):

  1. Once had a Riven tell me map awareness doesn't matter til teamfights.
  2. Had a Kennen say - "I didn't call mia on him because he was missing."
  3. Max of 4 wards placed on the map at any given time, 3 stealth, 1 Pink, still get yelled at for not warding by our top and jungle even though I'm a support and they died in the top jungle.
  4. Recognition of Dragon importance, there is none, there isn't even a proper tutorial explaining it.
  5. Nobody stops chasing or getting baited.
  6. There is no IQ Test for this game when you click Ranked.
  7. There is no Champion play limit when you play Ranked(Meaning, I should have to play a Champion 2 times in a bot game. Then 8 times in Normals before I can click Ranked.)
  8. The laser turrets are absolute garbage, I'd rather die defending the inhib itself, than die defending the turret, that's how bad they are.

Lets go into detail about number 8!

Teamfight under laser turret, tank goes in, nobody on the enemy team focuses the turret cause its so weak and it ramps up way too slowly, that they focus the champions instead.

Inhibitor gives all waves a buff, as well as the inhibitor lane super minions, so the inhibitor provides a nice distraction from some of their damage, thus letting us kill them while they try to take it out.

tl'dr = I shouldn't still be playing this game.

I went to bots before I went into Normals, i got practice in on the those bots, it helped me in Normals starting off. Then I played Normals from there on out, so it wasn't PvP because the bots aren't players.

anyone who plays bots is dumb this game overall is "pvp" so i hate when you kids use that word this isnt wow there is no pVe

Bots are PvE. PvP is Player versus Player. PvE is Player versus Environment/Everyone, either or PvP falls under PvE if its Player versus Everyone/Everything. And don't call me a "kid" when I am clearly not a child. Bots are not, and never WILL be players. They are a program which is put into the game. With that being said, since they are not players, they fall under PvE.

If you've ever played Dark Souls and gotten attacked by a Summoned Spirit, would you call that PvP too, because some of them are actually programmed to happen in the game, they aren't actual players.

Bots is PvB. Player vs. Bots. Get rekt foo!

Everyone forgets that this game is suppose to be for fun.

If you are no longer having fun playing it then yes you should quit, if you are making the game less fun for others than adjust your attitude.

I have fun when its a GG, win or lose, the problem is these people don't make it a GG, they make it a BG. What's fun about dealing with a 10/0/11 Champion? Nothing. Did I help feed people? On occasion, sure. And I don't expect everyone to be good, all I want is awareness, some common sense, and the acknowledgement that it is their fault, not the blame game. An indicator for who is warding, and how many wards are out at one time for the whole team to see, would also be nice.

Dedrius1 votes

But the thing is, it doesn't matter whos fault it is that someone gets fed. If their top lane riven is 10-2 and your top lane rumble is 1-8, then you pretty much know who fed that person, you don't really need to tilt them more by making them say how bad they are playing, because they know.

If you want all of those things, play on a ranked team where you can pick players who you know play how you want them to because in solo queue that isn't going to happen. You will get great players and horrible players but that is the nature of soloqueue.

Damagefox1 votes

But thats what this community does, if they know who fed then they use that player as a "Scapegoat" where the entire loss is that players fault.

It wont matter if support didnt ward It wont matter if jungle didnt take dragon or gank it wont matter if no one bothered to communicate or work together. It wont matter even if the adc was toxic as hell and demoralizing towards his own team all that will matter is that the top lane rumble went 1-8, therefore the team chooses him as a "scapegoat" so that they can complain at the end of the match "we played a perfect game, we lost because of rumble. Report rumble, its all his fault"

and the whole game I bet the team would do NOTHING to help him improve, just drill into his head how "worthless" he is. How he is "trash newb" who needs to "uninstall plx" This community doesnt want to help new players improve, this community just wants to tear people down so that -THEY- can feel superior, so that they can puff out thier chest and go "See, look how much better I am than the rest of these newbs, I am so OP, I carry" The arrogance and ego is really quite sickening. And they call league a team game....

I completely agree with that and it is so frustrating to have to deal with. It is way better to say to your teammate who isn't playing very well "All good man, just farm up so you can still make an impact later in the game, we have a good comp to deal with X champion" than to say "GG Rumble so noob, fed 3 kills game is already over, AFK fountain till FF 20".

All that does is make that person even more frustrated with their play and their team and play worse.

Damagefox1 votes

Yes yes YES and I have said this MANY times. (so sorry if I am beating a dead horse) BUT Harrassing someone just creates a CYCLE which spirals into a loss.

Game starts Player makes a simple mistake Rather than adressing the mistake and saying "its ok man, just try not to do X" Instead they insult and harrass the player over the mistake and refuse to just let it die (I mean most players will just hang on this ONE mistake an entire game) The victim/target gets stressed out, and starts making More stupid mistake in confusion and stress (you try thinking clearly when you have people flaming you, threatening to report you, and telling the enemy team How trash you are?!) So victim makes more mistakes, and the team immediately Jumps on THOSE mistakes, now hounding and harrassing you for the NEW mistake as WELL as the first mistake. The target gets even more stressed, and will eventually start to resent thier team A) for not even trying to stand up to the flamer, B) for taking the SIDE of the flamer and piling on the target or C) BOTH. This cycle continues untill the player either gives up, or goes on tilt and the whole team "self-destructs" ending in a loss, and in the end everyone reports the target for "intentional feeding" or "negative" or whatever they can peg the player for.

and then the next match starts, the cycle begins again, and people leave the game feeling angry, stressed, and more likely to be on-edge/toxic the next game. Because they know there is no one on thier side.

THIS is a standard game on League of Legends! THIS is the league community in a nutshell.

Well it is unfair to say that this is the league community. I have also played games where the whole team was very supportive of one another and if something bad happened they would joke around a bit and laugh it off and get back to working toward winning the game and working around the problem that happened.

I had a game where I was against a Riven who stomped me top when I was fizz, I was like 0-3 out of laning and down 60 cs because she would zone me off of creeps then flash on me whenever it was up and I would instantly die. Rather than being toxic and flaming me for feeding a champion who snowballs very well, my team joked with me a bit and basically said its no big deal and that if we do X and Y we can still win the game, which we did end up doing and I actually came back and helped a lot in our win. I would have never been able to come back and push us forward if my team had been toxic all game but they were not.

While some of the league community is toxic, some players are very good and respectful people, its just a matter of what team you get matched with.

Damagefox1 votes

It is not unfair if it is all people see. I am not discounting that those sorts of players exist, but it to the point where those types of players become more and more rare. When 9/10 matches are filled with spoiled brats who cry, swear, and scream when they dont get the role/champ they want (Even in ranked and they are last pick). When most of the matches you go into you can already count on as a loss because someone openly declares they are going to troll "for lulz" and you know they will get away with it too. The good players are more and more rare to the point of non-existance and replaced with stories of egotistical, narcissistic trolls and greifers who will happily abandon the team to "1v1 me bruh" while thier team gets 5v4'ed (and they are still waiting by baron for thier 1v1).

A community is judged by the most obvious aspect. And if people are getting so fed up that the good players are jumping ship and discouraging new players to sign up BECAUSE the -majority- of the community is seen as hateful and toxic, the good players end up being drowned out. You dont hear about the good teams...or for every 1 "good team" story, you have at least 10 stories of "Got trolled, got griefed...They afked, they intentionally fed, they bullied, they flamed, they threatened" It doesnt matter how many good stories you have, if they are constantly being drowned out by the greifers and Riot is UNWILLING to do anything other than "let the tribunal take care of it" Then any attempt to recover the community is lost.

Yeah when I started playing in season 3...It was fun, I enjoyed it. I had a good time because tribunal was up, it wasnt this automated "one size fits all" system that doesnt look at the cause...just the end result.

So yeah, If a new player is looking on the surface of the game, they will hear the occational comment on how "good" the community is. But as the saying goes: Its like putting a lid on rotten garbage. It may cover up the smell, but it doesnt FIX THE PROBLEM"

Quit. I quit because I had to focus on school, but then I realized I still had time to play on the weekends for an hour or whatever, so I play every now and then and I'm doing good in school.

I would say quit and move over to SMITE, there is still the trash talk present in any moba, But it is No where NEAR the level of flames and toxic hatred in League. I am currently taking a break from league because I got sick of the constant flames, where players are so full of themselves that they feel they have the "Right" to "tell you how worthless trash you are". And they dont consider it toxicity, they consider it "its not toxic if its true"

I have had a more enjoyable experience with the smite community, they are hardly as hateful or nasty as the spoiled brats on league who feel they are "superior" to thier teammates. and if they feel they ARE superior, then rather than help thier team improve, they choose to just insult and degrade, and tear thier team down just to make themselves feel that much "better than u" SMH. Maybe I will come back when I calm down. Given up on this season, too many trolls, too many hateful spoiled brats, and the trolls/griefers have run over who gets to play and who gets banned/chat restrict/etc

if you can quit you should quit. but its an addiction. you will be back.

Damagefox2 votes

Thats why I suggest he move over to playing SMITE. Same thing as league with alot less toxicity and the trolls dont have control over who plays and who doesnt. (the trolls currently can spam reports to get anyone they dont like banned)

Nr. 8 Turrets vs champions in the early game. Turret wins because champions are low level/weak(no items). If this league game is going normal, then the inner turrets(lasers) should be opened up to be taken down around 20mins+. This is where champions start getting strong, which means turrets fall off. Riot doesn't want the turrets fighting for you. Their a defensive mechanism in the early level, but they shouldn't be in the late game. I hope i explained it correctly

Aids cuz League1 votes

Then take them away if they aren't meant to do anything, because they have no damage to be defensive and no damage to be offensive lol. It takes 7 seconds for a Laser turret to kill a super minion. It only takes 2-4 seconds for a turret to die to team. Sometimes 4 seconds if their adc is fed enough.
