Hey, I am very very very very very supa dupa addicted to this game. I have been playing it for a little bit close to 2 years and I play it a whole lot. I am not antisocial, I got friends, I go out to clubs/parties etc and have fun but my problem is when it comes to schoolwork. I am a UC student studying Computer Science. I am very passionate about programming but I am always playing league of legends or going out instead of studying or doing some outside work (working on personal projects, getting experience etc). I was wondering how do you guys deal with your gaming addiction? it's been affecting me lately...

If i have a large workload or project that I know will take a multitude of hours to complete, but it's the weekend so I really just want to play League all day, I'll set out checkpoints in my school work every couple of hours where I can take a break and play a game. Limit it to a single game (or two if the first one only lasts 20 minutes), and it shouldn't get in the way too much unless you've already procrastinated past the point of no return.

If you have trouble with putting too much time into a game, just drop every aspect of it entirely; delete the files, remove any favorite/bookmark links to associated websites, and avoid reading or seeing anything about it.

If there's another activity for you to invest your time in, you'll just have to go focus on that. You'll quickly forget all about logging into LoL (or whatever other game) as long as you don't go looking for news about it (don't even go reading patch notes).

You could even go so far as having a friend change your password so you have to go through them before you can go back.

TL;DR - Cold turkey.

i have nothing else to do right now, but honestly theres nothing addicting to me about this game, glad they made champs like gp fun again, but they also changed 2 of my favs, fiora and darius, if it wasent for nami and a few others like heimer this game would be 110% stale to me.

also if you are a programmer just find some cool code to right and make something different, whatever it is.
