You did it, Riot. You've won. I QUIT.

I'm done. After starting in Season 4, this has been the boiling point. Season 6 has been one disaster after the other.

1. Sandbox got shot down and only recently did you have to backpedal on that. ("Sandbox mode is toxic." Not gonna forgive you EVER for that stupid remark, btw.) Even then, there's not much hope because it'll probably just "get put on the backburner" as you keep saying over and over. I've already learned that "on the backburner" means "It's dead. Fuck you if you want it, eat this shit we call 'Dynamic Queue.'" in Riot Speak.

2. DynamicQ is inherently broken, but you refuse to admit it. Premades have been at an all-time high and anti-competitive environments are also at a massive high. I'm no longer having fun because I'm at the mercy of the 4-man queues and double-duos.

3. You've now admitted that SoloQ is basically dead by saying the same thing you said for Replays: "It's just not a priority right now." Hey, look where that landed us. NO REPLAYS, NO SOLOQ, BROKEN DYNAMICQ, AND ONE-SIDED GAMES. Heroes of the Storm, Dota 2, And Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ALL have fully-functional Replay systems that gives players extra perspectives on their play so they can improve. 2 of those 3 games are MOBAs and all 3 are MAJOR E-Sports with large playerbases and viewership.

4. The Mage Update looks pretty ridiculous. Why are you messing with Viktor? Why are you messing with Vel'Koz? These two champs have been in a balanced/niche state for a while now, so why are you trying to BREAK them? So you can gut them because they shut down playmakers? Gotta sell those Zed skins, dontcha? Not like every Zed I've seen, except for like 3-4 EVER, has a skin nowadays anyways.

5. Ekko, Zed, and burst-tanks are going absolutely apeshit on the game right now. This is clearly not a healthy state for League to be in. Hell, you guys had Season 5 pretty well-balanced near the end of the year and even if the meta was getting kinda stale with the amount of tanks (like 2-3 per match sometimes which could slow matches to crawls occasionally), it's better than this 1HK-everything meta.

6. The champions released just keep getting more ridiculous. I thought Illaoi was kind of odd when she came out, but HOLY SHIT, was that just the beginning. We got full mathematical and algebraic equations to calculate Jhin's stats (still sour over that), incredibly hit-or-miss gimmicks like Auriel Sol (I consider him a miss), and the disastrous rework that is Quinn. (Her identity has been removed. She's just "Quinn", the Bird-Abuser, now. She USED to be Quinn & Valor, the Wings of Demacia, a niche and really fun toplane ADC with high bullying power and, somehow, SMARTER PASSIVE A.I.)

7. Communication with your playerbase has been terrible. Hell, the Reds that frequent C&C and PB&M make up a majority of the Red activity. What little communication we DO get is vague at best and annoyingly hand-wave at usual.

8. How can I forget the Master Yi disaster? I'm SO glad I picked World of Warcraft back up so I could let that bullshit pass. I don't know how you took the pubstomping glass cannon known as Master Yi and turned him into a tanky-as-hell bruiser.

I just can't play League in its current state anymore. I really just can't bring myself to do it.

I didn't make this post to garner sympathy, I'm basically leaving a "Farewell" letter to Riot and the League of Legends Boards community. Thanks for 3 Seasons of blood, sweat, tears, salt, plays, and, best of all; fun. I don't plan on quitting forever, but I'm going to skip this Season and patiently wait to see how Season 7 plays out.

Farewell.
