I'm Done

Since season three I've played in the Fields of Justice, a game like no other that I can never repay for the hell It got me through. This might sound like a sob story, and I'm sure in the end it makes no difference. I just need to get this off my chest. For me League of Legends has been a safe haven from all the torment that I've faced in life. Whenever I had an awful day I always knew I could come home and this game would take away all the pain even if it was just for twenty minutes. Every day I'd add a little piece to the collection of memories I have with this game. From my first Penta Kill to my most recent game there are pieces that I'll hold and cherish for life. There will never be a game that was so amazing. And maybe I'm just tilted from recent events but I always try to look at the positive. Reminding myself over and over that a certain part of this community is the minority not the majority. But each additional game I add to my record seems to just get worse. The mute button only does so much and the report button holds no value when every team that loses always has someone to report. I've gone through phases of uninstalling and reinstalling the game, making other accounts to hopefully encounter a different population of player. But nothing seems to work, the game that I saw as perfection in my eyes has looked more and more like the game nobody wants to play. I'm confident that my opinion is certainly outweighed, after all no game comes close to LoL's popularity. But that feeling that I crave so much to just be away from everything is almost impossible to get. 8/10 games you'll stumble upon someone who just seeks to ruin it for everyone else. Most recently a Braum who decided wards weren't important. After asking for a single ward he proceeded to follow the jungler around and steal camps for the entirety of the game. That's not something I have time for. I'm sure at the end of the day this post means nothing to anyone, and I've never actually posted on the forms myself but I just hope that someone will take the time and read it, and maybe I'm not alone. I'm signing off now, for good. I wish everyone the best this holiday season and hope your adventures on the Rift serve you well.

EDIT: Seems that my post might've came off in the wrong direction. TL;DR I LOVED everything about LoL and still enjoy it quite a bit but the up and down's due to a certain percentage of players makes it harder to enjoy. I see more players getting reported for the wrong reasons, if there's any reason at all and less players stepping up to discourage negative behavior without fueling the fire.

This is the epideme of league of legends today. Everyone is quitting because of trolls. Yet the trolls dont get banned and the real players do.

I'm with you.

Gameplay wise, the game just spins the "Wheel of Broken Champs" with a new group being landed on each time, creating mayhem and ruining games. The season resets every year just when I get comfortable with it and then it goes back to square one.

Community wise, Riot has babied it and encouraged reporting for the simplest things and it's getting to a point where saying anything is likely to get you banned. The trolls get away with trolling because Riot ain't gonna watch replays while the people reacting to them get banned.

Show Riot what you think and stop buying RP and supporting this madness. This cucked liberal stuff is why Trump won and why this game is a joke.

I just wish RIOT could at least add a trolling report reason and then all confirmed trolls would be put in troll queue so that they can all troll each other and enjoy, and we could play more than 10% of actually fun games. Yesterday my mid locked Thresh, went to intentionally feed 10 kills and we won but after I reported him I looked into his acc and found out that he regulary intentionally feeds and builds liek 6 tears or 3 ohmwreckers and in ranked too, but somehow he is still playing without any punishment and he is also Diamond 5 0 LP cough cough boosted cough.

I'm near the verge of leaving but i still like league for its champions and i do come to this forum for some funny posts here.

One of my friends in america hasn't played league since the first month of season 6. He got gold 2 by one tricking twitch and thats all he likes XD He doesn't really like the game overall to him it can't compare to his WoW.

I hope you take care mate. Stay classy man and this goes for everyone here to :D.

One last thing i must say is that players, communities will lose interest in various games over time. They will move onto other games or may just quit gaming in general to pursue real life goals and other stuff.

From Riot Tantram:

Actually, Erdrik is correct here.

A report flags a game for review. They do not establish guilt. The game is then reviewed for harassment, feeding, etc. This is why 'troll reporting' or 'gang reporting' do not work. False or inaccurate reports are thrown out.

You cannot ever be punished for saying nothing .. unless of course it's for something gameplay related like feeding, afking or cheating. But, you can never be punished for offensive language, hate speech or verbal abuse if you said nothing.
