I'm Quitting League Of Legends

The R Unit·7/16/2016, 7:17:39 AM·3 votes·1,123 views

No matter how many times I am knowledgeable about the game, farm correctly, itemize properly and/or win objectives and fights, I know I'm bad. It may not necessarily be a technical kind of "bad", but, relative to what LOL is, stands for and requires, I am bad. I cannot claw my way out of Silver 4. I keep getting bounced up and down. My friends are either not competent enough to work with me and succeed OR they're not available to play when I am.

I am super competitive, which means, like Gbay has said, I want to prove my own skill in this game and triumph. More importantly, and selfishly, I want to win win win no matter what. Period. Every. Single. Loss. Is a waste of my time and, many times, it's caused by elements and factors that spiral out of my control. You know the old jibe, "My team mates are always bad and cause me to lose games" to which the 4/9 Riven on the enemy team will say "Bronze Mentality". But, you we all know it's said because it's true.

In a game based on team and objective control, you can't get the necessary objectives and prove your own worth/skill unless You are able to work with your team, You're ahead or You're fed. I'm tired while writing this, so I'ma try to get my points out quick before I get even more tired.

  • Games are so long, making defeat feel even worse.
  • This game is made for pros, whilst skins are made for the rest of the player base. Cha-ching, Riot. RIP, Trinimmortal.
  • I've learned the long and hard way that I'm not competent enough to climb above Silver 4.
  • I'm a video game addict and this game has been far too addicting for me. Time to pull the plug on video games and focus on school, especially with the next quarter coming up.
  • Riot has created a system in which I can never stop despising the enemy players unless I'm crushing them. You're wrong, Braum. The enemy doesn't want to become friends with me and neither do I for them.
  • Every time that I win, 5 people most likely get upset, depressed, angry, etc. Every time I win, I'm spreading the anger that I feel whenever I lose. Every time I win, there is only a small amount of pleasurable satisfaction before I need to play another game and risk that mood again. The risk and consequences far outweigh the benefit of winning, especially since the win-rate is not appreciable.
  • I've spent so much money on a free-to-play game and I need to cut the cord before I buy up these and all of the other Project skins that come out, ever.
  • I don't, and never truly did, have the time to get a good and proper grip on most of the champions, which is necessary to expand your competency and know whom to choose to counter the enemy team comp and properly wreck with that champ.
  • I was going to go work out tonight, but I wanted to check out the new game mode, see if it was up this weekend or nah. This is 10 o' clock at night and then my friend is on LOL. He wants to play Ranked. I'm feeling in a good mood and we're playing with a person who was a professional Dota 2 player. I check my ping through starting a custom game and everything's good. I join the game, lag the entire time and my team is just losing first blood, ally has been slain, Double Kill, etc. It's now 2 in the morning and I've come to a final decision to help salvage my life.
  • I'm tired but their's likely more I' could have said.

Why do you help those attention-begging people fill boards with these meaningless posts that will only get downvoted?

LOL I'm just glad that these types of people are quitting because it just means there's more competent and better players to play with. I just became Brand and roasted you matey. Gangplank

See ya next week, my friend.

Oh, and, by the way, you're thinking unrealistically pessimistic. I've been stuck in Silver V and IV for a LONG time. Then I started improving and, what happened, was that I went 2 divisions up, 1 down, 2 divisions up, 1 down, etc. until I reached Gold. From then I cooled down playing ranked, but now I can assure you I can easily carry an account go Gold. So, if you think you're the only one, you're dead wrong. So many people are stuck and don't know what to do, but truth is they're missing either one big thing or a few smaller ones.

The MOST important thing in League is mind set, I can tell you that boldly. You're sucking 'cause you think you can't get better, which makes no sense. If you've died in any of those games, it means you made some mistake/s that got you there. Check your replays (I personally use BaronReplays). It's even therapeutic when you're on tilt. You'll see what mistakes you made and you'll get better from there.

You guys are a testament to a bad community. Glad I'm leaving for good.

How? From what I can see, there's no reason to post this. You are basically an attention hog, wanting someone to say "Oh no, this man is leaving". All you're doing is depressing people who want to try and get better in this game. Imo, you're the example of a bad community being depressing and saying this shit is so impossible. God, too many whiners like you. Tbh, no one cares bout ur life on boards and no one wants to hear your depressing LoL history. If you truly have a life like you say, then get to it cause you're a depressing player if I've ever seen one.
