Why?

Whats the purpose to try anymore. I feel like i try my hardest every game but if one person messes up its impossible to win. Im not even mad anymore im just depressed. Im so sick of trying because if i don't try i get reported for inting but people can literally int and when you call them out they get tilted. There is really no reason to try anymore in league. As long as you don't type in chat you can just run it down and build full ad crit Annie every game. Whats the purpose for climbing? to say your rank is higher than average? because lets face it. you are either challenger or your not. The other ranks literally mean nothing besides maybe gold because you get the skin at the end of the season, But whats the point in trying to get to gold in 10 games, 40 games, 300 games? why? why should you try? to get a skin? to think your better than other people? there is literally no point, just like there is no point in life. you just try your hardest still get shit on then ya die? so why do you play? im genuinely curious as to how people can stay so motivated to play a game that brings nothing but frustration a good 50 percent of the time? why when you could just play something else and have a good time for the majority of playing it not just 50 percent. Is it because you are addicted? because you spent money on the game? I really can not tell why i even bother playing anymore. I just know it makes me want to kill myself. Which is ridiculous considering its a game, But i can draw comparisons to real life and it just makes me want to shoot my brains out. Why?

I assume most people play because they enjoy the challenge of climbing and enjoy playing the game. But if that's not the case for you, I would definitely stop playing the game and find something you enjoy doing. Plenty of other games out there that are probably less frustrating.

You should probably take a break from playing if you’re actually considering hurting yourself over not climbing...and even if you wouldn’t actually go through with it, it isn’t healthy to have that much anger building up inside you. Take some time off.

First off, I would highly recommend you to see a professional. You are having a bad time and I believe talking about the issues you have will make you feel a lot better, believe me, many of us were there, it helps.

Secondly, I usually play with friends, I do ranked sometimes, but usually duo. The game feels so much better when I have the room to do some crazy things. I love off-meta strategies, even if you lose, you have fun, if you win, it feels just great, the thing you tried worked out, you had fun and it's nice. When I play rankeds alone, I usually do it because I want to climb. Why people climb? Well, some want to be the best, some do it just for the heck of it. People are competitive in nature, so they like to do things like these. I don't care if I am better than anyone else, rankeds have a forced meta, people are generally better than in normal games and the game is harder and more intense. Yes, it can feel frustrating sometimes, I lost 12 games in a row at some point. I took a break and then won some. You need to know that you will always lose ~50% of the games, that's just how it is. You need to accept it. If you don't find the game fun, you should take a break. It doesn't matter if the game is good or bad, or frustraing, rewarding, the only thing that matters is if the game is fun. That's why most of us play it.
