League of Legends. I've been playing this game for over 5 years now and today i finally quit. You know how much this game has fucked with me? I've smashed my laptop, my keyboard, the wall, my mouse. I've gotten so out of control, I was an animal. I have even ditched sport trainings to play this game, ditched homework, left dinner to go cold, all to play this game. BECAUSE, if I left the game you know what would happen? I would get "punished". I would get a ban for a day, 3 days, or even a week! Now it is a 5 min to 20 min wait before queueing up. You know my Dad always told me that I was addicted to this game, that I was being controlled. He told me "you're not playing the game, the game is playing you." I always shrugged him off, told him to leave me alone and go away. But you know what? He was right. If my Dad was not there to constantly remind of this, I don't know what would happen to me. I'd probably be a psychopath that everyone would steer well away from. Completely and utterly enslaved to this game. The devil, Satan, is not the devil that you imagine. The devil is League of Legends, the devil is these games that suck you in, trapping you, wasting who knows how long of your time, hours, weeks, months. These games are so fucked up and trash, when you play them, you also, turn into trash. Is it really worth all those countless, frustrating, wasted hours simply to get out of bronze. Even if I got to challenger, what the fuck does that mean? Just what the fuck does that mean? It doesn't mean shit. So today, I've finally quit. For who ever is reading this post, I want you to think about if you actually enjoy the game or not, are you really playing the game or is it playing you.

i'll TLDR this for everyone * ~~He played games all while knowing he ahd real life obligations to tend to -dinner -training sessions -etc

He was punished for afking because of real world problems(above examples) His father disagreed with his playing league, he ignored the fathers advice now having realized this is a game, he wants to tell others that the game is meaningless...*~~

So that all being said let me say this, the game has no control over you. You simply didn't know control. You found yourself in a position where nothing seemed to matter and you came to some realization that league was behind it all. This is not true, the countless hours people spend on this game is of their choosing. Riot does not hold a gun to your head and tell you to play their game or to spend money on their game(no game does) You probably are easily addicted to gaming as it provides easy stimulus. Which is not a bad thing.

The problem was you let the stimulus dictate your life. Addiction is bad, but blaming league doesn't solve your underlying problem

Learn to have some self-control. You were addicted I suppose.
