Should I stop playing league? I am a new player who just started about 3 weeks ago. I have school and whenever i'm not at it i play league- till 1 am everyday. Now it's spring break. First day i wake up at 8 am and play league, grab a quick breakfast and play till dinner. Thirty minute break for dinner and i play till 7 am..great. That was my cycle for the whole spring break. In just 3 weeks i got to level 30 by playing league of legends full time and i was excelling. I was doing very very good, winning alot of matches and I even learned how to master Camille. All this time I have been playing so good but then for some reason i start failing. During that spring break my eyes start burning and i get light headed sometimes. Just an hour ago I started a game. I didn't have any symptoms of sleep deprivation again but after 4 games losing and feeding with absolutely NO KILLS AT ALL i lose it. My family has been telling me to stop playing and I can tell their mad and disappointed undertone whenever they speak to me. It's 3:39 am and my mom comes into my room to tell me to go to bed or else she will ground me from my computer and the game. This is rare. Very rare. I have never gotten a warning or grounding ever in my life. I was already very squishy in the game. 3"2 minutes into the game I already died from a lure into a bush and enemy team got first kill. Fizz goes "wtf are you doing" and i tell him i honestly don't know. I am morgana and my adc comes and we play. 5 minutes in game she goes "TRAP MORGANA TRAP THEM SO I CAN HIT" "-_______-" i was missing like crazy. Finally i just lost it when my mom came in. I went into a bush to recall and leave game so i dont feed while xayah was under turret dying slowly. I tried helping one last time but again i missed. I recalled and she yelled at me for "hiding in the bush" and recalling at full health. I tell her it's 3 am and i need to sleep. She tries to make even with me and say it's 3 am for her too and I told her "well you didnt stay up till 7 am last night did you?" I got very agitated and for some reason started crying because i can tell she was so disappointed and i left the game. My mom yelled at me once again which doesnt usually happen and when my mom goes to sleep I watch some youtube to calm myself down. I really wanted to say something again to my adc to I quickly log back on and the internet wouldn't freaking work so I retry a couple times again and when it worked it showed the exit screen. Apparently the top (cammie) in our team left early too and it was 3v5. The game lasted 44 minutes and the team i was in was so fed but lost and the enemy team was so bad but won. What even happened? Idk. But I feel very bad. I also am very mad. I just want to quit league to be honest. I play league all day except for when i have to eat and take a nap to temporarilt rejuvinate for the next say of league. You can literally see the dark circles around my eyes. I usually stay up but I've never has really visible panda eyes before. Anyways...I have calmed down alot now. This post is just a rant and not even really a discussion but I will ask----

Oh man, I remember hitting level 30. I lost so much I almost quit too. Keep playing, your mmr should settle soon. It sounds like you're playing way too much though. Playing league full-time is not good for your mental health. Take breaks and clear your head every now and then or you're just gonna end up tilted and losing more often.

You definitely should not quit, however you should definitely slow down. Play 2-3 games, then go for a walk, read a chapter in a book, eat, workout. Basically, just do anything but look at a computer or phone screen for a full 30 minutes.

As for staying up past midnight to play league.. Your honestly are over-working your body. Whether or not you feel tired/exhausted, you should always keep a regular sleep pattern. Wind down and get ready for bed at 9:30. Go to bed 10, get up at 6:30am. Get your full 8 hours sleep, minimum. Honestly, at your age it should be closer to 9-10 hours. As you get older you'll need less sleep, but for now make sure your getting 8 hours every night. And don't have anything in your room on. Make sure it's pitch black. You'll get better sleep.

League will be there everyday. Make sure your playing at your best. Level 30 in league is about the same as finishing the first mission after the tutorial in other games. You have a long path of improving in front of you.

well you at lvl 30 are playing vs people who been lvl 30 for a long while and mostly are ranked players. your level of competition just got harder , so you are gonna hit a wall a bit. and find it frustrating. when you were going from lvl 4-30 you were vs other lower level less experienced players. yes some of them would been lvl 30 and possibly ranked but that is all you will see and face now. the thing about mmr if you were winning alot your mmr goes up and spikes so you face harder (higher mmr) players and after you lose a bit and it levels off the game then "knows" your mmr and most of the time will place you in games vs people with similar mmr.

just hitting lvl 30 and to say you mastered a champ is well kinda funny considering you havent even begun to learn about league... but just relax. have fun. if you arent having fun do something else for a bit, get away from the game. and when you want to play then play.

First off take a break, play a different game or just relax. Try to enjoy the games if you aren't enjoying it then there's no reason to play. (I just took a look at your match history) Ok, I can see a few problems you are making that will help your play a little bit. Your builds are slightly unoptimized. Try to get boots before your first item, it helps a lot in general. For Jungling except in certain scenarios always get your jungle item first, that's where you will be most of the time.

Look up Rune and Mastery Pages for the champions you want to play and learn what they do. So you don't take Fervor on AP Amumu. If you want to start doing better it's going to take practice. Start learning how to cs really well. You will win a lot of games just from having more farm. Learn when to play safe to prevent yourself from dying. And don't beat yourself up so much, it really is just a game, try to enjoy. Let me know if you have any questions.

Bruh, just keep playing league BUT slow down as others said. Don't play for whole day cause it isn't healthy. Sleep normally. Play few games a day, do other things besides playing also, cause you've got addicted. I'm not saying it to insult/make you sad. It's just the truth and tbh, alot of players had the same problem.

If someone starts getting on you in chat, ignore the comment (don't start arguing) and mute them ("O" to open the scoreboard and click the little speaker icon next to them). Best thing you can do early on to just avoid the harassment and focus on the game.

Best game play thing you can do is learn to keep one eye on the mini map. Ward to push back the fog of war.

Use pings and pay attn to other's pings. Unless they are pinging ???? on you which means they are upset (unfortunately we can't "mute" pings). Just ignore those.
