Why I am uninstalling LoL

I've played League of legends since beta, bought the physical edition too, and after all these years I'm finally done with this game. I loved the game when it first came out, loved ranked when it released, loved twisted treeline too, even dominion. After all this time I realized something, I wasn't having fun playing this game in any format, not ranked, not normals, not aram, not even the event modes. My friends quit a while ago and I've just been playing solo, and the amount of hate I get in any game mode is staggering and it sucks because while I want to enjoy league I can't. I just either get flamed for my champ picks (out of meta), or my bad plays even when I'm trying to help. I guess after being flamed and harassed so much it kinda just broke any hope I had of enjoying this game in any way. So I guess what I'm saying is league still has a long way to go to be a "good" community, but hopefully it makes it there without me.

I remember when people were very nice in this game, and some games literally every single person would just go to dragon pit and dance. It's not like that anymore. I've been flamed for the stupidest shit like not leashing a WARWICK. I don't really care about flame, personally, because I just think it's funny. But I wish people were as fun and nice as they used to be. It used to be that everyone said GLHF at the start of the game. I haven't seen that in almost two years. It used to be that you could basically play whatever you wanted. Now if you do it, you get reported for trolling. The game is becoming easier as well, like free wards (trinkets), buff/objective timers, stuff like that, to appeal to newer players. But Riot doesn't realize that they're hurting their older players by doing this stuff (not this stuff specifically, but many other things like changing URF). I still enjoy the game, but it makes me really sad that it's not how it used to be.

Lmao, the community? You mute them and move on dude. It's highly unlikely you'll ever see those people in your game again. Every competitive game has trash-talking. Shouldn't let someone's attitude stop you from improving.

If someone is going to quit a game, then just quit. I am not sure what kind of reactions you're looking for if anything or some sort of encouragement. A farewell or something? While you might get a farewell or an encouragement, or some sort of troll to react to you leaving, but no one post on a forum and announce they're quitting. Because they always come back. When a player is thoroughly finished with a game, they just leave. They don't go out of their way to go to the forum and announce their goals on quitting. They just simply leave and move on. You posting on this forum is giving you an attachment or you're looking for some sort of attention. If you're not having fun, then move on. If you're going to linger around the forums, then you're not quitting, because then you'll be back and quit again the next few months just to come back again.

The community will be what it was in 2009. Whoever comes or goes, the game itself will continue to evolve as it always does. The system will continue to improve and evolve regardless if you're here or not, that goes for me and everyone else if they're here or not. The community will be as it always has.

If you can't enjoy playing the game without ruining it for others then why do you try to make such drama about quitting it? Yes, if you shit on somebody else's game by picking nonsense you can expect to hear about it in chat. And in that situation you are in the wrong and deserve their indignation. I don't know if you were looking for sympathy here, but all I can say is good riddance, you leaving has just pushed the community in the right direction on the long way to be "good" by one tiny step. I wish this marked the beginning of a mass exodus of pick trolls.
