I'm sick of it, quitting LoL (really long Rant)
Dear Riot and the LoL comunity, this rant is gonna be (As they say) ''all over the place'' (Also, english isn't my main language)
So, i've started playing LoL last year (on Bard's release) and i got sucked into LoL, i've loved every little thing there is (even Teemo), i've bought Sona and her DJ skin ASAP, my first champion (and main), got a few friends to play LoL aswell, my ex started gaming because i've showed her LoL, i've got her a PC so we can play at the same time next to each other haha, heck, even my 50+ year old dad plays LoL (he was even Silver 3 last season, and he doens't know english, wp, wp), i've played LoL every day for hours and hours and i didn't even look at the other games, in short: I love(d) LoL to bits!
Rant: But then, people started with the insults in chat, i mean, i wasn't even level 10 (profile) and people insulted me that i play bad, that i should delete my game, sell your skin, and worse and worse, so i've got pissed and said some bad things to them a few times, then Riot gave me a Warning (and it's was a nice, polite warning) something in the lines of ''hey, we know everyone has a bad day, but try to be nice'' (something like that), so i've started being nice... Like, no joke, they were good to me, so i was good in return, i know, hard to believe for a LoL player that is nice, right? Anyways, i wasn't toxic anymore, at least that i could remember, i didn't get any warning messages etc, i'd mostly mute if i was playing solo, some of my friends tend to rage so i try to keep them calm. But, in most cases, the warning message doesn't work, there are still a LOT of toxic players that are just too mean, even kids who are 15, 16 years old and less, they say some really... ''adult'' stuff (but that's not Riot's problem, but the parents's) Anyway, sometimes i forget to mute them or on the champ select chat was a nice conversation etc.. So when i get in the game, we keep chatting, just a simple ''gl hf'' or ''nice skin'' make a chat go on :P BUT, the second i make a mistake (and not just me), i get bombarded with insults, not always, but most of the time the one who made a tiny mistake gets bombared... I mostly play Sona/Support, 1st of all, i suck at the attacking roles, 2nd i'm not really selfish, i don't care about kills etc and tend to keep and eye on the objectiv/winning the game (That's why i love Overwatch, but more on that later), i always ward, my wards are always on cooldown for god's sake, anyways, i care about my team, but my team cares only about kills... If i died 2 times, i instatly MUST get reported for feeding by some logic, if i'm at the shop waiting for 30 gold for a OP items, I MUST be reported for AFK, i want to play Shaco on top and u MUST be reported for griefing/trolling... BY KIDS!?
Angry rant: See, i've loved LoL and Riot a lot, and i've spent a lot of money on this game, and i don't have a lot of money, and i don't really want to be insulted or reported because some kid's parents didn't gave him money for ice cream, i've played LoL to relax and dont' think about everyday problem that i have, i can't sleep a few years now because of some thing that bother me, so i play games to stop thinking about those ''bad things'', so i dont' really want to go in a game of LoL and get insulted, i'm sick of it, i'm trying to keep a calm head but you just can't ignore it always, there is a point where you just lose it all, you had a bad day, the last thing you need is a spoiled brat to tell you that you're a retard because you died or something... I've stopped palying LoL somewhere before 2016. started, then i've just played if i was really bored, but over time, i've got sick of it even more, now i only play it like once a week if my friend is asking me to play, and that's maybe just 1 round and that's it because people are still just talking s*** every time, from 10 rounds, MAYBE 1 will pass without any bad language, the ''report'' system for insults is not realyl working as it seems, some kids get banned, and they make a new account, they don't pay for skins, their parents do, so 1 banned account isn't a problem for them, that's why i'm trying to keep calm while i play LoL, i payed with my own 8low paycheck) money, i don't wanna lose that, i can't afford those legendary skins, (DJ Sona was a gift, other skins are just from the sales, skins over 1k RP are gifts), and i even bought some champions with RP just for supporting Riot because the game is free, sure i could've grinded a bit for Jax, but i bought him with RP even if i don't play him... But i've came to that level of not caring that i dont' care if i get banned, i wouldn't even notice it, because i don't play LoL anymore as i used to play it,
As i said, i play it only to hang out a bit with a friend from a different country, but we both have Steam and Bnet so it's not a big deal (but she loves LoL so, meh), she bought got Diablo 3 and Overwatch, so we have other games where we can ''hang out'', the comunity on Overwatch isn't that toxic, i didn't see anyone insulting anyone, not even those ''ez'' at the end of the game, they're all... nice... Dont' get me wrong, i've met some cool people thanks to LoL, and that friend i'm talking about, i've met her thanks to LoL, but the majority of the LoL comunity is just toxic, everyone insults everyone, they all act tough over the screen but we all know that those kinds of people are cowards IRL, but in Overwatch though, they're all team mates, that's what i like about it, if we have to many attacking characters, they change to tanks or healers to balance the team, but if you dont' chose the ''meta'' one, they don't really flame you, yeah they cna be upset but not in such a bizzare way like i've encounter in LoL, and they ask if someone would like to change their role, if not, they change it, and you dont' have a KILL COUNTER in Overwatch, which i like a LOT, it's a objective team-based game, and people are doing that, focusing on the objective, in LoL, people just can't ignore kills, they must get kills because they think that matters the most... Sure, it gives you exp and gold, but i've been to a lot of games where we have more kills and gold than the enemy, and we lost because there was a sneaky Shaco backdooring on top (Banner of Command ftw <3 ) or they've got Baron with 4 people, and the 5th one was a decoy to lead us away from Baron (i do ward Baron after 20 a lot though haha), but you can win a match without a single kill, you can damage your opponent enough so he'll retreat, but you dont' have to kill him... In Overwatch, yeah you have guns, but as i said, kills don't matter, you can get at the end of the game on the top players list for taking most of the damage for the team with a tank, or most healing done, most time defending the objective etc... And, it's costs a lot! Which means, less toxic people, less kids... Again, i don't a lot of money, but yet again, i have even less patience to deal with salty people who are angry at the world because someone banned their Fizz or the jungler didn't gank bot because he was helping top... I get it, peopel get angry at games, but come on, this is too much! We're a team, we should help each other, not talk s***, if someone plays bad, HELP THEM, don't insult them! If someone is a ''noob'', then thech them how to play instead of telling them their noobs and don't do a damn thing, that ''noob'' is in your team, so no matter if you're good, if that ''noob'' loses the match, you'll lose aswell, as a team you must act as 1 in sync, yeah the pro players get it, but the majority of LoL players aren't pro... I'm at Bronze 3 atm and i'm support, yeah i can't blame other people/my team if i'm stuck at Bronze, but i can't really say that i'm not helping out... I ward always, i stay damage the minions sometimes so my ADC can last hit them (idk if the exp is sahred, but it works for CC a lot), i usually try to get in fron of my ADC if he's low on HP so he can run away, i flash in fron of Caitlyn's ult so my ADC doesn't die, they've aced us and got to Baron, i've stole their Baron alone with Sona, flashed in the pit and hot a hit on him... I died, but at least the enemy didn't get Baron... And yet, i get s***talked that i suck, yeah i'm not a pro, not even close, i die a lot, or as the salty kids would say ''report Sona for feed'', but i tend to think a few steps ahead... I ''yell'' (all caps) at someone if he goes where my Banner of Command mindion goes, i dont' insult them, i just all caps thing like ''DONT' GO TOP'' so the enemy doesn't see the split push on the map etc.. i dont' wanna sound like i brag about it, i still think i suck at LoL (my goal was to get in Gold, nothing more, i don't care about Plat, Diamond etc), mostly because there would be better/harder player, so i would learn more (Gotta love that Darksouls mindset)...
Anyways, i'm quitting LoL, not sure if i'll delete my account, but i'm deleting it from my Pc... Maybe i'll play a last match with my friend for a good bye to LoL, but that will be it... It's sad to think about it, i had such great times with it if i don't look at all the insults... Call me sensitive, but keeping up 1 whole year with spoiled brats talking s*** to you isn't really gonna make you feel any better, i'm not really strong on pride so i mostly let the other person ''win the fight'' because idgaf, but oh well... I'll still be a fan of Riot, they're really done some good stuff, but i think Riot can manage without me, right? 1 less player isn't gonna bankrup their company, they won't notice me that i'm gone, heck, they won't probably even notice this post...
Again, english isn't my main language so sorry for some bad writing, and if anyone reads this, please try to keep those ''KSY'' and all those mean comments to yourselves, because tbh, i'm afraid people will comment those things everywhere today...
Have a nice day, cheers
And
is the best ^^
