Worth getting to level 30?

Level 8 account right now

Having some issues. Taking 5-15 minutes to find a match. Half the times I do find a match, the server connection is funky and it takes ages to load the game (everyone sitting at 100% for ages)..

Now when I do get into a match, there's always bad team mates. Usually on both teams but sometimes only one. When I say bad team mates, I'm talking about obvious botters, intentional feeders and AFKers. It's not really a fun experience. Winning when the enemy team has an AFKer and an intentional feeder is not fun. Winning because the enemy team has 3 botters on it is not fun. Losing under these circumstances is also not fun.

So I figured the game's population was dead and not really worth playing but then I realized that maybe it's just at my account level. Is it only matching me with people around my level and does it get better at higher levels? Or is it like this at max level at well?

I really don't want to play with botters the entire grind to level 30 just to find out that it's the same at higher level. XP gain is extremely slow and coupled with the long queue times and poor matchmaking... I just want to know if the game is the same at level 30 before I continue this grind or if it gets better at some point..

I've been playing ARAMs on some of my alts recently and i've noticed that on the ones under level 10 there seem to be a lot of bots and a lot of teams of smurfs. Somewhere between levels 10 and 20 it seems to normalize and you get a more reasonable selection of teammates and opponents.

You might want to play co-op until level 10 or 15 if it gets to be too ridiculous.

I personally don't recall having such problems before i hit 30. But i would say this:

Do you like to play this game, or don't you? If you enjoy playing league, then don't worry about getting to level 30 and try to enjoy yourself along the way. Because if you are instead only thinking of getting to level 30 so once when and if you finally get there you can say "Ok so what now?" youre just setting yourself up for a disinterested time thats only going to feel like doing a chore you just want to be over.

So my advice is to play if you enjoy the game, or quit if you really dont, but think itll be worth it because nothing changes at level 30 besides runes and masteries and the ability to play ranked which you may or may not even care to do personally.

In the mean time, just play Bots til level 30. Atleast it won't be that bad no?

Find some online friends and queue with them. Makes leveling way more fun, even if you get match against higher level summoners.

the trick to get to lvl 30 is to pretty much play bot games all the way there lol
