Why I play League of Legends

...to be honest I'd forgotten why. After playing the game for a long time and occasionally trying to climb the elo ladder I'd gotten into a routine of playing as I could. I didn't rage, I'm a friendly person but it was kind of all grey.

I don't know what sparks it for everyone but for me it was trying DOTA (which I don't really enjoy) and remembering those first games when I just did whatever seemed like fun. Instead of being annoyed at myself when I got surprised, I remembered that heart pounding moment of excitement in a tight situation. I remembered how I used to play mid lane assassins where it was always about who could outsmart the opponent not who could outfarm the opponent. I remembered the crazy fun I had.

So I challenge everyone who reads this, remember the things that were core to making League fun for you, remember how awesome a game Riot has made for us.

P.S. you can always go back to getting frustrated at Riot afterwards if you want :P

agreed man people really take the game and the feels it gives us. when i started i had heard about it from friends who basically ditched me so i ended up playing out of spite and as noobish as i was playing was fun i had zero idea of anything but the characters were all unique and interesting and almost seemed magical how the cast was all together a fox girl with a ice phoenix i could say i had never even thought of it and to be honest i got mad as i kept loosing to bots but the lore kept me going i began paying attention to things started as a support then top kinda mid and eventually adc main.

i made it to silver 3 and i've faced many a gold 3 and won my lane but i still feel the same excitement i did if i see someone comeing i still have fun and laugh at myself for turning back on a 2 v 3 with half hp tho i do rage if i end up feeding or doing bad horrificly bad lol. to many people play the game to troll or win then complain about how x is op or x needs a nurf when they get outplayed its kinda sad to be totally honest. good post man reminded me how i felt playing lol for the first time and brought up memory of me trying to find who to main and all the failed attempts and all the victorys i had after i got good and why i should just laugh when im going 0-4 cuz at the end of the day its a game

You play league to waste time and to have fun when you know you should be studying or working, like all gamers

Not complicated
