step 1: find happiness
step 2: tell your parents you are thinking of continuing league, and that you would like to have a respectful and scholarly conversation about it (right then). If they say no, tell them that they'll say no, without even listening to your points of views.
Make the case that you have found happiness. Assert that while League frustrates you sometimes - like everything human beings are passionate about, league gives you happiness as well, but you just don't show it. Don't victimize yourself, but in a non-condescending tone of voice, tell them (politely) that if they continue to not let you play this game, you have other means of attaining happiness (justify this), but they would still be preventing you from doing something that you are passionate about.
Don't raise your voice in front of your parents. IF they say no, don't fret, and ask for justification. You can try to retort if you would like, but you probably won't get what you want when it comes to this point.
If they backlash at you, just leave, and be quiet around them for a bit - maybe up to a day or two. If they come to you and apologize, you just won. Tell them that while League is a source of happiness for you, you recognize that it isn't making them happy. Tell them that they are just misunderstanding league, and invite them to learn more about league. For example, if your parents ask you how your game is going, talk to them about a team fight you just had - it's okay if they don't understand a word about what you're saying. Just be either neutral or excited about how you're playing.
IMO, the chances that they let you back into the game are between 40%-76&, depending on your presentation, and also the attitude of your parents.
Remember - the more you act like an adult, the more they have to act like adults

Well, my parents say that LoL doesn't help you. But I think it is good because it increases your focus and you get used to thinking before you make a decision.
However, I am 15 years old as well and this years I have to take an important exam. I don't play LoL very much, just 1/2 hours a day. I think that you should talk with your parents and tell them what League of Legends means to you.
You can tell them that there is a professional scene and you can earn money from streaming. You can even tell them about this website, MobaFire, which is full with people that make the LoL community a better place.
Oh, and show them a documentary which states that video games don't make you angry.
Best of luck :)

As I didn't ready everything here, this might repeat sth.
But even if you do not actually notice it, playing LoL makes you ''mad''.
Not only ingame / swearing in ts etc.
But also if you get asked a little question, you do not even realize the way you answer it because you are concentrated on the game.
Naturally, you will see it as totally normal to answer in a hasty way and maybe only listen to half of what they asked you.
But to them it is like you ignored them, and the hasty and maybe loud answer (due to the headset) seems like you are aggravated.
So try to explain to them that it has nothing to do with the game, but just you concentrating on the game. Same as them, if they are concentrated into cooking or whatever, and you happen to ask something. They will answer in a very hasty and maybe annoyed way.

As a general rule don't complain about your parents to strangers on the internet; it'll make you look like a spoilt brat.
There are exception of course. For example if your parents are abusive or neglecting and you don't know what to do, but even then there are better places to ask that than a ****ing fansite for a fairly brainless MOBA game.
