LoL's Community (Lame Rant)

I find it hard to get myself to play League of Legends anymore because of the community that comes with it.

 I loved this game from the first match I played ~5 years ago. Nothing could stop my love for this game and I thought nothing ever would, I could play it endlessly for hours day in and day out. I've had 4 accounts that have all hit level 30, most of them were trying to play with new friends who I introduced to the game. Eventually I thought I could get into the ranked scene. I thought I could escape the troll builds, the _meh_ matchmaking of normals, and the people trying to imitate pro's. Soon enough it became all I wanted to play. I wanted to climb the elo ladder, I wanted so badly to prove to myself I was good at this game. I didn't get far into the ranked scene before I realized it was much worse than normals in terms of how the players reacted to mistakes, from minor to major, and how they treated each other in general but nothing was going to get me to give up on climbing the ladder...or so I thought. It wasn't long before I avoided logging into League of Legends, only played one or two matches a week instead of 3-4 a day. Then I only hopped on whenever there was an update, a friend convinced me to join them, or I got a burst of _that_ feeling again. Now I'm reduced to remembering what it used to be like when friendly players were common and bad mannered, rage-a-holics were rare, back when I loved learning about champions I hadn't seen yet and seeing new ways to play champions I thought I knew everything about.

 I can no longer hop into a match without someone saying "gg" within the first five minutes, without seeing one teamate tell the other to kill themselves or something along those lines or without having someone disconnect within ten minutes of the game because they believe it's over. I miss the 40+minute games where both teams truly believed in themselves and neither had anything against the other. It was a heartfelt "ggwp" from all players at the end and it felt good no matter if you were the winner or the loser.

 I don't think I can play this game anymore, no matter how much I want to.
