"Take breaks" -pop-up

I think that there should be a pop-up that informs player that he has played too many games of League of Legends. Like after 3 - 5 games straight something should notice me that "hey, you have played TOO much league for one sitting, could you consider taking a break?"

This would ease players who plays ranked games way too much and prevent them to plunder too deep down with their negative elo. I hope that somebody atleast agrees with me with this idea. This might a thing that might get 20% of negative ppl out of que, because you know that +4 hours staring at your computer without gaming glasses gets you angry and very tense even if you win. Well even if rito does not notice this. I hope you smart players take breaks and climb that ladder or have fun with you mates.

Cheers.

Also, I have a question, how much League you play at one sitting?

I myself now play max 2 games and keep 1 hour cooldown games (like ps2 or 3ds) and then return with my mind cleared and ready to take action.

I've played games where this type of thing happens. It's either non-intrusive, so it's completely ignored, or it's very intrusive and ends up annoying everyone.

If something like this was added I could only see it as an option that is, by default, turned off.

What might work better is a new sort of ambiance to the lobby client. Something colorful and chill with matching background music, fewer information windows up as well, that eases you back down when you're not in a match. I'm thinking kind of surfer singed style. If people ease out of battle mode between matches they could be fresher for each match, and even more prone to taking a break after a game.

When you're in a zone you don't naturally put effort into changing gears and switching to a new zone; you need a reason to want to. So if the transition was facilitated by the environment, you could just let yourself relax instead of trying to make yourself relax.

Thoughts?

Oh, and to answer your question, Peru, I tend to binge game, playing 4 or more matches in a row. And when I do take a break, I rarely close the league client. I just leave it open and do other stuff over top of it like youtube and crunchyroll.
