Just wanted to thank everyone here for everything these past 3 months.

At the advice of some of my friends, I uninstalled the game a few days ago. As was pointed out to me by them, I was only stressing myself out even more by trying to rebuild my old account without any help, and basically couldn't get much help due to where I stood compared to them.

(Level 21 with meh MMR + a bunch of level 30s with high-Silver/low-Gold MMR = bad time for all, as I learned from the two times I'd tried it. Small sample size, yeah, but matchmaking's generally iffy when it comes to pre-30s + 30s anyway.)

If there's ever some sort of thing instated in the future to try and earn an account back, I may return to try it. Otherwise, I probably won't post much anymore. I still wanted to thank everyone for being so cool to me over these months, though.

I unfortunately wasn't able to make much of a difference myself. I had one guy add me in-game (on my other account) to tell me he'd read my threads and thanked me for the good advice. I then spectated his next game on a whim and watched him tell the enemy Udyr to kill himself several times in all-chat over the duration of the game, and just in general be a fairly abhorrent person, and it really bothered me. (I should've saved some screencaps of all that, but I didn't think of it at the time.)

I'll try to find something new to occupy my time with. Not sure if anything can potentially bring me the same sort of fun time League used to, though. Especially so long as most of my friends still play it. That's life though; nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Thanks again to everyone who offered me advice and a show of faith. If nothing else, I wanted to at least show that sympathy DOES exist on this board for people who show the effort to change, or at least understand where the fault lies.

Best of luck to you! You might want to try Dota2. Honestly, it's a lot like League, just harder. HotS was way to easy for me. If you like shooters, Overwatch is pretty good, or Paladins is in closed beta but you can get in for 20$. Anyway, good luck to you in whatever you do down the road.

I actually didn't mean to submit this thread, oops.

I typed it up, figured it sounded kinda stupid upon reading it, but then something came up and I had to leave. "Don't lose what I typed" senses kicked in and I submitted it instead.

Ah, well, it's here now. No sense deleting it.

I wish you all the best, Reaper. It's a shame you're leaving this game behind, but you need to do whatever makes you feel good. Seriously. All the best.

If anything, this game has taught you patience and concequences of your actions.

Hope to see you in the future. Best of luck.

Well, two days later and I've installed the game again.

I really don't know why, though. A part of me just wants to play again, but trying to play on my alt account has brought me nothing but grief and frustration. The tier 2 runes only being 1 IP is a bit of an improvement, I guess, but considering I'm coming from an account that had a ton of T3 runes, I'm not too keen on them regardless...

I don't know why, but despite my best efforts, I just can't leave this game. I don't have any other games to go to (mainly because they're either harder or more complex, and I'm not even that good at League to begin with), and I have more than a few friends here. I'm just literally torn between trying to force myself to play, and forcing myself to NOT play.

Frankly, I feel pathetic that a video game's wreaking this much havoc on me.
