Thinking about quitting league...?

I'm not sure where to even start with this post, i'm not writing it out of anger from a game i just played or something, it's just coming to a realization that 80% of the time i'm playing the game, i'm just not having fun. I'm wondering if this is just me being burned out with the game or is it a more mainstream opinion, that the game has just become boring. I have almost 800 ranked games now, climbed from b5 to gold this season, but somewhere along the last 4-5 patches i slowly just lost interest in the game...? I don't like the tank meta, maybe it's bc im an adc main, but it just feels like the game consists mainly of these big 5v5 fights somewhere in the jg and the team who is able to engage first and chain more cc wins. i will build QSS and bansh, but it feels like in team fights my role is mainly trying not to die, and i'm having a hard time telling if im having fun because im either stuned most of the game, or annie tibers instantly killed. i play mid and jg, also some sup, and it feels less annoying in that sense, but then i still feel the same way, who ever seems to have the better hard engage comp or is able to chain more cc just win every time. maybe it's the lvl i'm at, and it was always like this but i didn't know, but the better i get at the game, the less fun i have at each tier it seems. am i the only one feeling like this? like there's something about the game that changed along the way that i don't really feel like playing it at all anymore. and when i take 800 games and estimate how many 4v5's ive had since the start of this season, it makes me even more mad, i feel like half the time i play i'm wasting time and should go find another game

I don't like the tank meta, maybe it's bc im an adc main..... I feel the same way...

I started to kinda go "Meh" when juggarnauts came out.. too much tankyness and too much true damage..

What happpened to giving up damage for survivability and vice versa? Juggarnauts seem to just ignore that... now a 5k health Garen can do 2k TRUE damage when your the enemy and he ults you..

Its no fun to fight fiora anymore because she says "Screw your thornmail I don't take damage from it" "Screw your ignite.." and "Screw your ultimate!"

I'm an adc/support/top main and I sware if I saw a Morde tank support AND vayne botlane... Id just die in a hole..

My advice would be to take a break.. Whenever I have a bad session I always promise to play less... And for a week or so I do.. But somehow I do come back.

The other thing would be to branch out... I am exploring other lanes and champs... It helps.

One doesn't simply quit league...

On a more serious note, ranked= a chore, don't play ranked if you want to have fun, the most fun way to play is never the most efficient in any game including actual sports like football.

If you want to have fun, play normals and just break the meta. Full ap singed or full ad udyr are so fun to play in normals when most people aren't trying or have thier guard down. You lose? oh well, as long as you had fun it isnt necessarily time wasted

Or just take a break, go get a hobby. The biggest problem is people solely focus on LoL, and when they have a few bad games, they go on tilt and it snowballs from there. I enjoy working on cars, so even if I have a few bad games, i have other fun things to do. When I catch myself worrying too much about a video game, which shouldn't happen ever, I go out and get some fresh air and join the real world.

I hope I explained myself well enough, just my 2 cents, I tried to be brief without rambling on.
