Taking a break.

League is a fun game at its base, don't get me wrong. It has all the fundamental parts for what could be an amazing game, but it just falls short. Not because of balance, or graphics, but because of the community. When I started out this game, I preferred the lvl 1-20 grind more so than the rank grind. Many players at lower levels were much less skilled, and everyone was overall more friendly. When I was introduced to ranked and Bronze, games became more competitive (even in normals) and people became increasingly toxic. Maybe I'm sensitive. Maybe I'm not tough skinned to insults. But I feel like the community as a whole has gotten more and more prone to lash out. Whether at each other or at the enemy. Because of this, games started to become stressful. I simply was not having fun anymore. If I lost 1 game, I started to lose more and more and even make stupid plays. I don't think it's worth it to sacrifice close to half or an hour of your life to feel less pleased at the end of it. The game is also very addicting. I constantly procrastinate my own work from school just to play. I don't blame Riot. It is entirely my fault. But it shows. Marks drop, and the reputation I've had is also diminishing. So I'm taking a break. I might start a new account, and level from there after said break.

What I want for you to take from this is that if you feel like you aren't in tune or in love with this game anymore, or if it's taking too much of your time, uninstall just for now. Re-discover yourself. Find out what you truly enjoy besides League of Legends. It can really help.
