Just uninstalled!
Reasons:
-
Riot SCREWED the west coast, Hawaii, and Alaska with their server change, the game is unplayable in those regions. Going from 45 ping to 100 ping is incredibly frustrating. I have not gone positive in a single ranked game since the change occurred. Not one.
-
Riot has continuously shown it cares less about the game or the people who play it, than the money the game brings in. This is a negative quality in any business (no one would buy a used car from someone like that... or food... or really anything at all if they're not pushovers).
-
The in-game items are really expensive and unobtainable for anyone who isn't A)hustling someone or B) rich as f@%k. Eight dollars to put a new dress on Ashe and I can't even give the dress to someone else, is rediculous. To put that eight dollar price point in perspective, in Dota 2 most items are ten cents or less.
-
Speaking of Dota, they just had a tournament with an 18 MILLION dollar prize pool. That's $18,000,000 dollars for ONE weekend of DOTA2... and riot wouldn't even give us Pool Party Mundo!!!!!!!!!
-
That reminds me! I never got my free champ for the pool party, I sent a customer service request, received an automated response about waiting for 2 weeks, and never heard back from them again. Then when I see a Rioter on the game he tells me to send in a support ticket...?!?! Another shining example of the complete disregard Riot has for it's player base in ALL DEPARTMENTS.
-
It's not like the player base is really nice group of people though.. League of Legends has the rudest, most immature group of players I have ever dealt with. They are foul and disgusting in all areas of the game, even non-ranked games and "fun" games like aram. Literally every game there is someone acting like a complete jerk. I've never played a match where no one called for a report or called someone a shitter, etc. Even games we are winning the kids jump on all chat to grind their negativity into someone else no matter what.
(I've been told to kill myself more times on League of Legends than I have ever been told COMBINED in my entire life before I started playing. )
- The game requires it's players to be absolutely Sloth-like to have any chance of being good. If you intend to play League, 8 - 15 hours a day is commonplace (and won't even get you an entire champ's worth of ip..) Assuming a player makes 150 ip a game (which is more than I normally make but whatever) and he wanted to buy a 4800 ip champ (which isn't even the most expensive one) he would need to play 32 games in order to obtain it. If each game was 45 minutes long, it would take 24 HOURS of work to get a champ. Considering there are 120+ champions... to get them all it would take 2880 hours of play time which is about 450,000 ip (yes, four hundred and fifty thousand ip) or about 2160 games. To think anyone other than the most hardcore gamers would ever come close to this goal is obsurd. And there's runes too....
In conclusion, this game negatively impacts my life in all aspects. Physically, it makes me unhealthier. Mentally, it is draining due to the terrible people who play it. Monetarily, it's a huge money pit with no chance of ever retrieving it. Even spiritually; I find myself asking questions about the nature of man, and whether or not it's true that we are all evil. If you ever play League you will see the evil in the heart of the average person come out in full force.
This game is a drain on my life. It impacts my life negatively. I uninstalled and I don't mind losing the skins or the time invested...
@Riot: I hope you enjoyed my company while I was here because I did NOT enjoy yours.
