Hey guys, today I asked myself this question and realised I don't know the answer.

On one hand I kinda like LoL, that's for sure. I've been playing on and off for several years. On the other hand my mechanics are ****ing garbage, many things annoy me to no end and I can't care enough to improve. I do have moments of brilliance every now and again though. :D

Any*****, in a nutshell it's like this: I'm not good, I don't really get better, every match I play is filled with *******s, I tend to become an ******* myself after long exposure to *******ry which forces me to take a short break (and then I'm ashamed as **** of how I acted) but I always come back.

So today I asked myself "The game is cancerous to me and I'm cancerous to the game. Why am I still playing this?" and couldn't find an answer.

What do?
I don't play LoL anymore.

First of all, if you aren't enjoying it quit. Just stop opening your client and find something else to do.

Second of all, if you know you can't care enough to improve and you like the game, then there's an obvious conflict of interest. Either start caring about the game or find something else you're interested in.

I had the same problem once with WoW. I played the game for a long time and started to create desinterest in the game. Created breaks over and over but I always came back eventually. However, eventually a moment comes by when there is another game that gives the same interest in it as you had in the beginning for the older game, in my case, league. Then I started to play some more league than wow, and more and more and more, and eventually WoW made a new beautiful expansion with all kinds of imporvements, and I just didn't care and never came back to WoW because it just bored me as fck.

Tldr; Try to find something that can replace the positive feeling of LoL in a form of another game, without sharing the negative feelings you had for LoL.
Change is gooooood

I too wish that the community was better, and henceforth the game was more enjoyable, but we'll have to live with what we have, gentlemen, and that is not bad at all if you manage not to get infuriated too easily. As many other, I have pondered about quitting, but it's the people we play with that make the game enjoyable, and as long as you stay humble about it, one should be fine.
F-y-n-e.


Tah beh, or nat tah beh. BOOM! Nat tah beh.

I just want to point this out, just because LoL is treated in such a competitive environment and light, that doesn't mean you have to treat it the same way.

As long as you are enjoying the game, that's all that counts in my head, it doesn't matter if you're getting better, it only matters that you are enjoying the game and having fun.

Heck, that's what games are there for in the first place.

If that's not the case, I suggest looking at what Meiyj said.

Thanks to YayaFTW for the sig.
