Don't really know for sure why it happened, but I stopped playing league from one day to the next. Just lost interest. I even had the elo deccay warnings and gave no *****.
It probably started happening when inhouses became a clique-based version of soloQ where Riot decided to let matchmaking go to ****, where even some of the funniest people started not caring about leaving their mic on since, you know, the focus was on winning and communication gets in the way.
Then I joined a team where everyone was at least one division below me, which was fun at first, but grew old feeling like I was constantly pushing everyone to victory without much respite: I did well, they did well. I did ok, we probably still won, they would do "well". I did bad, game was over. Meh.
The final touch was probably the revamps of champs I like, paired with same boring *** champs nearly every game. You'd think having 110+ champs in a game would stimulate variety but not really. It was a mix of having these champs I love feeling alien because their strengths and weaknesses got randomly reshuffled, the knowing I had at least one guide with 2 million views that was now absolutely worthless and being acutely aware that another chunk of my roster has been eyed for future reworks. No respect for dedication whatsoever, the only way people can play this game is with a "must win" zombie mentality where 75% of their picks are top rated picks.
Curiously, I almost never use Mobafire when I don't play League, but I suppose a few people might wonder if I died. It's been so circlejerk-y lately anyway. At least the memes are fun, but scouring through all the "look at how big my ***** is" and the "wow I'll suck yours if you teach me how to grow mine" is not worth it.
Will miss LevasK, LatestLegend, Pengu and Wayne from EUW, a few people overall (many of which already were pushed away in the last 1-2 years). I might rejoin or retry the game soon but for now the spark is completely snuffed. Also got a job, although this doesn't mean much because last time I had one I still played a lot *shrugs*

@Legend oh my god you collapsed all the puns you could into a single comment, makes me teary eyed and leaky :') I do hope I hear from you once the sex starts happening, I have a callendar ready for your name, I'll send it to you and will expect an autograph :v
@Janitsu Your memes bring all the Mobafirans to the yard and they're like "you wanna see my stats?" damn right, I wanna see your stats, I could share mine but my team sux.
@Vapora Wasn't nowhere near only you. Worse yet was "go to team channels" and realizing that "Wayne's room" was a team channel to where I got invited now and then, regardless of it making sense team-wise or not. Meh.
You're a funny meme too and I never disliked you. Just your ego sometimes getting so damned fat >:c
@MissMaw: You're always gone, away or rejecting inhouse invites uu I'll forever remember the Nautilus skin you gave me tho <3
I was starting to wonder where you went. I'll probably take a break myself too, so can't say I can't relate. Good to know you're still breathing.
I'll miss you too friend. I hope we can play / talk / circlejerk (some other game?) sometime. Goodbye! Have fun doing whatever you are and will be doing! (You were pretty into magic the gathering right?)
PS: Whatever the case, I'll think of you if I ever have sex. Consider that :^)
EDITS: Inside-joke sex memes are hard, if you get what I'm saying.
Believe it or not I'll miss you, before you bought whatever ****ty mic you're using now (or were when I last heard you) you were one of the most fun people to talk to on TS for me, but since you switched to that mic it was a real pain in the *** to have to put up with the constant background noise and then not even be able to understand a lot of what you were saying since the quality was really bad and my hearing isn't that great to begin with.
You'll probably remember most of our interactions as just being our more recent attitude clashes, but as visibly annoyed with you as I could get I really don't dislike you.
All the best with your future endeavours. :>
