Compromising Competitive Integrity Makes Me Feel
Like I'm wasting my time. But am I having fun?
Kind of. I like the new masteries, chests, game updates and content.
But I have found my attitude in league turned from hardcore competitive into a clown fiesta casual...
I spam ARAM with the one friend left who plays. Sometimes we 5s for the S tokens.
But ranked? Nothing is more depressing. I feel like a chump, like a tool being used to promote a generic free to play. I feel like the jokes on me and the punchline hits me everytime I see league promoted as sports level competitive. It's a huge lie unless you have a full team.
I used to brag about playing league well, haha not anymore. I can always brag about my sc2 ranks I achieved years ago, since their developers never decided to retrofucktivate their entire games image across all seasons in a single patch. If you are plat+ get ready to start being considered a booster.
So yeah, I'm having more fun than ever playing ARAMs and clown fiestas. But the competitive gamer in me has left league permanently.
