If you want to quit LoL but can't(game is heroine), here are 5 compelling reasons why you should

Halfroot·7/5/2018, 5:16:37 AM·3 votes·1,754 views

I started my league career in Season 7, while I haven't thrown away my life savings "supporting" the game developers(The most I laid down was 20 dollars). I have dedicated a lot of time and owned 3 accounts Riot eventually banned. I do not want this discussion to go off - topic, therefore please do not bring my previous offense up(I will ignore them), if you scroll all the way down, realize getting banned isn't even one of the reasons I listed. The most I will go into right now is how these accounts were banned, the first was for intentionally feeding, the second was for account sharing, and the third was for inactive participation.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, here are 10 reasons why you should quit LoL:

  1. Chat restrictions but more importantly, how people are getting them I haven't played LoL longer than most people have, I have however heard complaints that shouting at a teammate in a non - constructive criticism has lead to permanent suspensions, but this was back in season 5. Now it's gotten MUCH WORSE, it's so bad that people are getting banned for telling a player what to do even in a constructive manners as it is now seen as passive aggressiveness. Arguing is now considered flaming, even if you're only trying to defend yourself by trying to justify your plays or style. I simply do not understand why Riot has taken this stance, disallowing a player to show even the slightest bit of resentment or frustrations towards another player because that is in Riots eyes, toxic behavior.

Riot hypocrisy:

Making up excuses and lies and treating some players better than others:

  • I've had a player who told me to kms twice in a single game, he wasn't punished, but I was. We were both arguing, we both said the same amount of lines, I was in fact even trying to defuse the situation more than anything but that's mostly irrelevant.
  • Riot unbans someones account, I ask Riot to do the same for mine. I get a response, the person who had his account unbanned was an exception because they only did this in the past. The guy who had his account unbanned had it in season 2, my account however was created in season 7 therefore the same rules somehow do not apply.
  • I get a 14 day suspension for feeding in ARAM, I try to limit the amount of times I die each game, and then get permanently banned for inactive participation.

Repetitive:

There are only 3 maps and less than 10 viable champions for each role. The only way I was able to climb consistently was playing the same champion 1000+ times only to peak at platinum 5. I was unable to continue as an OTP after my champion reach a 50% BR, making most of my invested time useless. Every game feels similar to the first, I do not feel like I learned anything new or improved, even after I dedicated my entire weekend playing league. There are so many things that can only be learned from first hand experiences that unless you're familiar with MOBA's or a future LCS player, you won't be able to hit diamond unless you are willing to play for several seasons.

The time investment(Ranked):

It takes 5 - 10 minutes to get into a game, longer if there are any remakes. The game length can vary, but usually takes 25 - 30 minutes. Now, depending on whether you won or lost lp, you would have to spend twice as long to get slightly more or less back. There are some tiers that are very difficult to get out of, even as a platinum I consistently struggle in silver Elo. I probably spent longer in here then getting out of bronze and gold because of the non - stop feeding I see every game.

Stress(Ranked):

Games, even those that are competitive are meant to provide enjoyment. However this is the only emotion I feel when I'm playing league, so much, that I don't even want to start another game because of the overwhelming feeling I get. I do not feel happy when I play league, it's impact have lead to RL issues and damaged the relationships I had with friends and family as well. Maybe this is my fault, I was responsible when I decided t play, but I am not the only victim who is willing to admit this.

here are 10 reasons why you should quit LoL

i count 7

, I have however heard complaints that shouting at a teammate in a non - constructive criticism has lead to permanent suspensions,

I suggest you don't base your reasoning on hear-say

it's so bad that people are getting banned for telling a player what to do even in a constructive manners as it is now seen as passive aggressiveness. Arguing is now considered flaming, even if you're only trying to defend yourself by trying to justify your plays or style.

sigh

There's no such thing as self-defence in chat - you're not in danger from people's chat and typing back doesn't protect you from anything. The only thing in danger is your ego. Muting is the actual self-defence.

, he wasn't punished, but I was.

How can you tell that he wasn't?

You don't always get notified by the system even if a punishment happened. It's intentionally setup that way sioo as to avoid spam.

We were both arguing, we both said the same amount of lines,

More often than not, two players flaming may be on different levels of punishment. Thus, the same slur that got x permabanned because x was just out of a two week ban, would just give y a 10 game chat restriction, because it's his first offense ever.

Thats because punishments are based on two questions:

Was he toxic?

Did he get punished recently and which punishment was it?

it's an easy rethoric to follow:

the 10 game chat restriction is based on wether you cared more about your ego than about the game.

the 25 game chat restriction is based on wether you cared more about your ego than about the game AND on wether you were already punished with a 10 game chat restr

the 2 week ban is based EITHER on wether you cared more about your ego than about the game AND on wether you were already punished with a 25 game chat restr OR wether you used 0 tolerance slurs

the permaban is based on wether you cared more about your ego than about the game AND wether you already had the 2 week ban

Riot unbans someones account, I ask Riot to do the same for mine. I get a response, the person who had his account unbanned was an exception because they only did this in the past. The guy who had his account unbanned had it in season 2, my account however was created in season 7 therefore the same rules somehow do not apply.

I get the feeling you're talking about tyler1. Please do your research in his particular case before coming to a conclusion based on facts you pulled out of the conveniently close nether regions.

I get a 14 day suspension for feeding in ARAM, I try to limit the amount of times I die each game, and then get permanently banned for inactive participation.

You'll need to elaborate in what you mean by all that. And by "you", I mean OP, not the peanut gallery that are fond of assumptions on what OP may or may not have meant by that.

and less than 10 viable champions for each role.

if you only care about what's in the meta, then sure. some people play off meta tho and it works for them just fine. please don't generalize!

The only way I was able to climb consistently was playing the same champion 1000+ times only to peak at platinum 5. I was unable to continue as an OTP after my champion reach a 50% BR, making most of my invested time useless. Every game feels similar to the first, I do not feel like I learned anything new or improved, even after I dedicated my entire weekend playing league. There are so many things that can only be learned from first hand experiences that unless you're familiar with MOBA's or a future LCS player, you won't be able to hit diamond unless you are willing to play for several seasons.

there are prople who have played for several seasons and are still in bronze 5. did it ever occur to you that the reason you got stuck at plat is because that was your limit?

there's a certain player who has several accounts in challenger by playing just Teemo . He periodically makes a brand new account and gets it to diamond+, with the others, with 99% Teemo. Last time i checked, Teemo was never in any sort of meta and yet it works for him because Challenjour is his limit. i suggest you get better at the game instead of blaming it on other things more convenient for blaming.

i'll be needing clarification on this one too because as far as i can tell, your problem with this one is that i's not as fast as you'd like

TOUGH!

I do not feel happy when I play league, it's impact have lead to RL issues and damaged the relationships I had with friends and family as well. Maybe this is my fault, I was responsible when I decided to play, but I am not the only victim who is willing to admit this.

i wish more people admitted personal blame for not being happy after playing league. good on you!

It's honestly pretty funny how you list Riot's supposed hypocrisy and non-stop feeders as a problem.

You don't want people to discuss your past punishments, but even if one ignores the glaring coincidence of you getting banned just before compiling such a list, your previous punishments actually sit at the very heart of the point you are trying to make: You are still trying to pose as a victim rather than a perpetrator, by trying to pass off actively sabotaging your team as a "playstyle".

Arguing is now considered flaming, even if you're only trying to defend yourself by trying to justify your plays or style. […] I get a 14 day suspension for feeding in ARAM, I try to limit the amount of times I die each game, and then get permanently banned for inactive participation.

The second quote being extremely ballsy, btw, given the fact that your 14-day ban wasn't given for dying too often. It was given for precisely the same reason. Refusing to actually participate in the game.

The fact that your previous account was actually banned for feeding in ranked games is just the icing on the cake here.

As said, your alleged victimhood lies at the heart of all of this. That's why your previous punishments are very relevant. Understanding that they are justified is to understand that this is nothing but a rant of an angry banned player still trying to convince people that he/she has been wronged.

This is spot on! I am done with this game as well. I spent around a grand on this game and played since season 2. Community has just gone down hill.

Heroin and Heroine are not the same thing.

One is admired for legendary, amazing, outstanding qualities and is often considered to be of semi-divine origin.

The other is just a female hero.
