Attention Riot and Everyone: I am starting to truly hate this game.

BasilicaNero··3 votes·1,502 views

This game is really starting to suck. I started three years ago and it was a great way for me to be able to play games with my friends as we move farther away form each other. It had interesting characters and gameplay, a cool community (it seemed) and a budding pro scene.

But you know what? F*** THIS GAME! I only get to play once a week due to real life (yeah you heard of that you a**hat 13 year olds? Just wait! It's gonna sucker punch you in the face. Enjoy that!) so I'm not the best. But I try. I try to be patient. I have worked my way up to being comfortable doing normals and have even done some ranked 3v3s with my friends.

BUT THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY THIS GAME NEED TO GO SOAK THEIR HEAD! If your team politely suggests we ff at 25 minutes b/c we are 22 to 38, Varus and Brand are fed, and Volibear is unkillable THEN FRICKING SURRENDER! It's a waste of EFFING TIME TO KEEP PLAYING!!!!!

"But we can win!" Bullshit! Yeah if the enemy team suddenly becomes incompetent, and I can magically catch up in gold to buy another tank item or two then sure, we can win. BUT NOT FLIPPIN' LIKELY IS IT!?!

If I am suggesting a surrender its because I only get to play once a week, and if we surrender now, we can be in a new game in the next ten minutes. BUT NO NOT YOU JACKHOLE! NONONO! You want to drag this one out to 50 GODDAMN MINUTES just 'cuz you "might" win?! Bullshit.

And stop hiding behind the "Well you can just leave." You think I haven't thought of that genius? I'm surrendering to save precious time. Queue times aren't what they claim to be. If I surrender I hope to be in new game in 10 minutes. If I leave, then I get slapped with that 13 minutes our whatever penalty from Leavebuster, then add the ten minutes for finding the queue, someone dodging, finding a new one, going through the picks for some one to dodge again, etc. Seriously, took me 22 minutes to get into a Normal the other day. So with a leave buster penalty, queue times, I wont have saved any time from just playing the game.

Which would be fine, EXCEPT I DONT HAVE TIME! I have work in the morning. I have to get my daughter to daycare. I have to make sure my pregnant wife with morning sickness is ready to go to work before me. Then I have to get home and make dinner, and all the other adult shit that you little prepubescent dillberries don't need to worry about. I have one evening a WEEK allotted to being able to play games these days. That's maybe two and half hours if I'm lucky. I do not HAVE the time to waste because you "don't want to surrender". Pathetic.

SO HOW ABOUT EVERYONE IN THIS FRICKING GAME STOP WASTING MY GODDAMN TIME!

There Ive ranted. Probably get reported but I stopped caring. I've put more time and money into this game than any other in the last five years and I am truly starting to hate all of you and this game.

Play a different game this isn't really tailored to causal gamers who play 1 video game a week. I have been playing since 2010 or so and I can't stand anyone either, it's just how it is, dregs of society getting hot and mad and protecting their ego.

This is a game where you have to realize, people play to win, this is one of the most competitive games out there and people won't stop until the game is over. People like me don't surrender because it's possible to come back, albeit unlikely, but it's possible and I've done it multiple times. And on top of that, I also play to get better, and surrendering doesn't help with that either.

Sure if its a close game or even moderately close or your losing due to skill alone, I see tha value of staying, could be a valuable learning experience. But if youre losing because of STATS alone. Then gtfo. If I the tank cant look at the Brand without the whole team just exploding (because of his stupid OP rework) and because he's super fed and is two and a half items ahead of our whole team, then Im not going to learn anything. There is no proper time to engage. There is no counter. There is just stave off the inevitable. Wasting time.

LBB4122 votes

Brand actually got nerfed with the rework imo because now he needs to land all of his spells to proc his passive. I will surrender if every single lane fed, but if at least one or two guys is doing almost decent, i'd stay

BasilicaNero2 votes

He is OP in teamfights now. And landing all his spells in a team fight is not hard. So yeah, I classify his rework as OP. I don't feel his weaker earlier game makes up for the absurdness of him later.

LBB4121 votes

Just because you don't like him doesn't make him OP. If he still had his old passive, then I would agree, but this new one isn't too bad.

Kim Chi Vendor1 votes

Brand is OP in low ELO but I agree that you have to land your combo more than you did in the past before the rework. He's not stupid OP like he was.

LBB4121 votes

Im in low ELO and he honestly isn't that strong. Im midway through Silver V

Personally I would recommend a short break from league, perhaps try out somethign different. Something that could keep you stimulated but help you wind down and relax for a bit. Being so stressed on a daily basis isn't good for your mind or your body.

The first non-condescending actually trying to be helpful response. +1 to you.

Wait, wait.... You're baby raging over people not surrendering? C'mon man if you're gonna rage, rage at something legit

Angry Monster2 votes

yeah... you need to get checked on. You have serious issues

Sure its your time but it also the others players time also. If they decide their time is worth spending trying to fight own, that is their choice. Might be irritating but that is how things work.

I am not sure when it was decided that your time trumps other people's choices? Pretty sure no one gave you that right/power. After all the people on your team did not choose to play with you. Your IRL issues mean nothing to them.

IF life is that hard on you right now; then it is time to play a single player game. When you can stop and start as needed.

BasilicaNero2 votes

You missed a step. The point of this game was to play with my two friends. PLAY GAMES. WITH FRIENDS. In the last three weeks I have been able to play THREE games TOTAL, because the two random people refused to surrender twice (and the third time it was a drag out battle that we stayed for because there was hope). Otherwise That would have been five games.

Where do they get off wasting the other three peoples time? As you say, what gives them the right decide their time is more valuable than ours? Oh thats right its because Riot decided it needs to be 4-1 majority not 3-2..... gotcha.

SO Im pretty sure its being the majority in a five man team that makes me feel like we have the right to ask the other two players to not waste our time.

Yeah and my issues are called adulthood. Something for you to look forward to.

Angry Monster3 votes

the two random people refused to surrender

exactly, your life does not mean anything to them. Why should they bow down to your life that has 0 meaning to them? O cause it benefits you and you are about shoving your life on other people.

Go play 3s if you want absolute control with a total of 3 players.

Where do they get off wasting the other three peoples time? As you say, what gives them the right decide their time is more valuable than ours? Oh thats right its because Riot decided it needs to be 4-1 majority not 3-2..... gotcha.

The right is built into the system. They are protected from simple majority jerks like you. Some people like the challenge of coming back and play for those moments. I personally believe in efficiency but i will never say others have to do what i want. I am not a dictator. Are you?

Yeah and my issues are called adulthood. Something for you to look forward to.

You know nothing about my life. So get off your high horse. Most adults recognize that when they have limited time that they pick an activity that works with in that function. You are making a choice to play a game that can take 20 to 50+ minutes. You do not get to decided that its past X not worth your time; therefor not worth anyones time.

It is not up to other players to try and help you fit as many games as possible into your limited time frame. Your life does not trump their life.

No one cares that your wife is pregnant. No one cares that you have a child. No one cares about you. Cause when we (players) press play it is not to be held down by your life choices.

And this... ladies and gentleman is why league is done. I've met good people who did care about strangers online. Guess those days are gone. Pity. I used to like this game.

Oh and you'd better see to that stick in your ass or you're in for a long ride kid.

Look we all care about you to some extent, we want you to try your best. We understand you have differing views. But understand a game is always winable. Every game is a learning expereince. Think of every league game you play is a ranked game, and understand losing is not an option until all options have been tested out.

BasilicaNero1 votes

A thoughtful reply. I don't agree with that mindset to treat everything as ranked (if you want to play ranked, then play ranked) but I appreciate your tone and the sentiment. +1

Wow. That was just rude, dude. You don't rep my league experience....

ChrisCavs2 votes

This is going to sound nonconstructive... but I don't give a damn. I have seen SO MANY GAMES come back from deficits of 20 kills+. If you're going to give up as soon as the tides of this game go against you, please just uninstall. You should be here to have fun, gain experience, and enjoy a social game. I'll tell you what, nothing feels better than coming back from those hellish games and busting through that nexus...my god it's like an orgasm.

If you manage to drag the game out to 45-50 minutes, you actually do have a chance at winning. A completely unwinnable game shouldn't take that long.

Some of us have the opposite view. My best friend in particular gets irritated when he spends his time waiting to get into a game, and his team gives up at 20 minutes even when we have a reasonable chance at coming back. He may only have time for one game, and after sitting through queue (sometimes multiple times), and champ select, and 20 minutes of game time, he doesn't have time to start the process over. And while it doesn't happen to me as often, when it does I generally feel the same way. If I've got time to sit and play for an extended period of time, I will surrender and jump into the next game, but if I've only got time for one game, I'd sure like to actually play the game out.

For the record we both have two kids, significant others, jobs, and all the other bullshit you have to deal with, so it's not just teens without responsibility that feel that way.

Edit: Also, grab some sleep man. I'm sure you know having a kid already, but seriously, the second is going to be even more exhausting.

League of Legends is objectively the wrong game for someone in your RL situation to be playing.

I recommend something with short game times like Overwatch (quickplay) or CoD so you can get more individual games in during your limited time.

If you dont have a job that allows you to take multiple months off, you are working where 13 year olds first get employment.

This game doesnt revolve around you. Games shouldnt be "stomp or surrender" just because u dont have time. Some players enjoy challenge of games where they are behind trying to catch up. Sone wanna stall game long enough for everyone gets full build. Nobody cares about your time. They dont play for you. Who are you yo them? Noone. Just that 1 in tens of millions of players.

Pathetic.

sounds stressfull, however if a player belive that the game is still winable then its perfectly acceptable for them to click "no" on a surrender vote, blaming them for doing so is just nonsense tbh, it`s not their job to make sure the game fit best into your tight schedule.

i understand that it can be very frustrating, and i hope you got some steam out writeing this post.

I think the league atmosphere and dynamic que really cause this issue especially in ranked. Until you reach high diamond games are constantly thrown (aka you shouldn't ff) and if the game goes to 50 minutes the gold should be even and then its anyones game. I would suggest finding a new game though because with dynamic que people seem to be very frustrated during game and honestly the sheer number of trolls isnt worth it anymore

TheSequelsRBad1 votes

I know this is kinda over done, but I would recommend Overwatch for you.

Non-ranked games are like max 10 minutes, and stomps are about 5 minutes, so it you can play several matches in a short time, and never have to worry if you have really bad teammates, because you can leave whenever in normals.

I would guess it would be a much better game for someone with limited time than League, where you have to commit 45 minutes at least to start and play a game.

Colgate Gator1 votes

By the sound of your rant, it seems you not playing anymore seems to be the best solution.

I understand if you have other things to do, but that being said, if you don't have the time to commit to a match, don't become a burden to your team by queueing up.

I'd suggest a game with shorter rounds, Overwatch comes to mind.

Azure Hamster1 votes

Ever been on a team that throws a won game at the last minute? Everyone on the other team who won that game did not surrender. Teams throw. Let them.

we had an afk, and a troll teemo who queues as support and afk farmed the entire game. placing shrooms just to farm assists/kills. we won because our wukong was a badass

Funny he has a child & another child on the way? Why the hell would you announce your immaturity to us? (I wonder he probably got her pregnant @ 18 years old). Well dude you got A LOT of growing to do still if your complaining about limited time.

I for one if my career was going steady i wouldn't have the time to play any videogames & with wife kids next up, basically it's family NOT You anymore.

  • Yea Adulthood is easy as pie if your smart enough to mange your time.
  • I'm 26 I'm single & waiting for someone serious
  • Full-time job/benefits pretty much, so yea i can still fit some games in because I'm Flexible

Please don't try and explain how life works/how easy it is until you reach that point. It's idealistic to think that you give up every aspect of your life as soon as you get married, or have a kid, but in reality it doesn't work that way. Having kids and a wife doesn't mean you stop being you, or that you aren't entitled to having a bit of time to yourself to do what you want.

Yep my personality willnever change, but if i get free time to yourself, it would mostly likely be when my wife wants her alone time for shopping etc..

Im also only on once a week, which means 5 or 6 games per week and a super slow time of climbing ranks. But I often like to take the other days to try and generate strats for my current OTPs

Denims Wrath6661 votes

the sad part is, yeah, that's still winnable. at that point in the game, the gold difference compared to your lane partner isn't actually THAT HUGE. one proper bush gank, and two free turrets easy. people are right about this, don't give up so easy. you waited that long to get in right? and have played for this long? you should have tactics by now, or get outta the game please. i know, its just normals... but then whats stopping you from turning on your beast mode?
