The Community.........

So i thought bc my main account was started when i was a fresh young bright eyed noob, that was the reason I am in ELO hell and dealing with a reported community. Turns out I'm wrong. I started playing in season 2 preseason, me and a friend. Struggled but kept on it. Learned the game in season 3, and got to be average placing S3 in season 4. After experiencing ranked, realized i wasn't ready, stopped playing ranked and went back to norms. Was unaware of stat decay and in S5 placed B5 (didn't play any preseason which i know does affect placements NOW) after stomping 8/10 and winning 9/10 placements. Whatever. Thought it was my fault, I didn't play WELL enough, sure i won and we stomped but was like sure. Made a new account. That is when I realized after playing the game for 5yrs that, no its not me, its the community. The "dude chill its a game" attitude that not all of us take. I played on a 5 man team recently curse voice and all and had the time of my life, only to go back to norm draft to be thrown back into the community and that is when i finally realized everything. These people who want to do nothing but waste their own time being jackasses who get lobbied with us only to waste our time, and not only our time but putting our hard work and hours we cant get back into the dirt costing us points. If you wanna play a game go fucking play COD with your little brother who's controller isn't really plugged in. If I'm willing to invest 20-75 mins of my life I want you to take it just as serious as i do (I'm not saying win per say, but FUCKING TRY), I know that is asking for too much, but doesn't anybody agree?! Well on this new account I took a friends advice and just didn't chat unless absolutely needed (I was mean in chat bc irritated). I smart pinged like a mofo still trying to communicate just as much, if not succeeding in communicating more. I have learned that IF its not my IP address that is just boning me into ELO hell no matter what account i sign onto then there is only one common factor. THE COMMUNITY. Some of you are just terrible human being who just don't give a shit about ANYTHING. You single child children who grew up getting anything and everything you wanted bc you threw a fit and your terrible parent would give you whatever just to shut your ass up instead of disciplining you. There is no way i can go from being a trash player to being a pretty decent, i wont say GOOD bc good players wouldn't make some mistakes (not warding, face checking, SLIGHT map aware deficiency are my main weaknesses) but I am FAR better than i was, and fucking place lower than I did when I didn't know that you could pop Anivia's Q whenever you chose to!! I have grown to absolutely LOVE the game. I watch LCS, LPL, LCK, just because that's how in LOVE wit the gameplay I am. But playing the game, being thrown into a team with 2-4/5 of you who just couldn't care less, is what has broken me. The community is SO GOD AWFUL that as of today as much as it pains me to stop playing I am done. My friend quit around 1 1/2 years ago and i couldn't understand why bc i WAS that toxic/troll player that he was referring to as being the reason why he is done. I HAD to rant bc it hurts. I have devoted countless hours and sleepless nights to this game because i love it and now it's over. I will keep watching the LCS/LPL/LCK (CLG gonna take MSI! NA ALL DAY) and keeping up with patch notes so i can be fully aware of changes that are going to occur to the pros, but i don't think i will be updating my client post 6.9. It is going to be weird, but after almost 6 years of playing I'm done. So long League, and good riddance to all of you troll "it's just a game" players, those of you who will comment on this with only hate. It's people like you, who are the reason I'm done.

UPDATE. Same night, was talking to said buddy turns out since I have been playing for 7 years. (I'm 22 and have been playing since freshman). That is 7 going onto 8 years of true love for this game. And as a viewer ONLY, more to come.

Unfortunately it feels like Riot is actively trying to shape this game into something noncompetitive.

There is no motivation to play well, or enforcement for really bad behavior in game (minor afks, trolling, etc).

You aren't allowed to expect even a basic level of effort from the other players, let alone competency.

The cleaner, more strategic aspects of the game are being dumbed down in favor of loud, game-breaking objectives and explosive mechanics. Basically stuff that looks good on broadcast and catches the eye of a child who will spend money for prettier explosions
