Personal Issues I have w/ LoL

So lately I've been on the fence about how I feel about the game. I've taken a break from the game for like 2-3 months, before I played again only to be discouraged to stop playing again. I've been thinking about how much fun I used to have with the game vs how much fun I have with the game now (My friend has my account now [Yeah, I know, that's bad, but I don't feel like playing and it's a waste of an account]). I just wanted to vent out my two sides on how I feel about league lately:

Why I would play the game: (1) My friends still play

  • I still can play with friends at times if I do decide to pick up the game again (2) I've spent a crap ton of money on this game already
  • I've spent a butt load of money on just in-game purchases (say like 500 or something around that amount) (3) Ranked
  • I still care about my ranked a bit since people know it's my account, but at the same time it's a chore for me

Why I wouldn't play the game: (1) It's a chore

  • I just play out of obligation via the first three reason honestly, because even then my friends don't often play with me (rather they leave me out) (2) The community I've been dealing with lately
  • When I jump back into the game, you would expect me to perform way below average, right? Well the community doesn't help when I get flamed for every mistake. (3) Adapting
  • This game feels too fast changing but the in-game pace is really slow, and it really just disinterests me to read up on how to catch up on the game. (4) Conflict of interests
  • League isn't a game where I can play quickly before I can go; you have to secure tons of time to invest into it, and I just can't find that kind of time now unlike before.

So I just want to know if I should just keep playing or just overall stop.

I'm at the same place as you. Been playing for 2.5 years (which is about my norm for online games), and I'm just burned out. It's like you say in number 1 of the con list, It feels like a chore. I started out only messing with ranked and just playing lots of diff champs in norms for fun. Now I really only like ranked anymore. But as we all know, it feels like a struggle to climb. In the end, what do we get...a border and maybe a skin or some other swag. Increasingly I am getting irritated with feeders. It's like people don't know how to play safe at all. And every win seems like a battle. I'll admit, fortnite (and now sea of thieves) has taken up some of my LoL time (as well as some solo games that I have from past Steam sales). In the past, I would play a little something else, but them back to LoL (you know, it's my main game). But now, it feels like a side game. So perhaps it's time for me to move on. I'll probably play another game or two or just think about it hard the next few days and just make a decision...rn, leaning toward quitting.
