For quite some time now my opinion of this game has been on a steady decline. I've always had a love/hate relationship with it, but enjoyed the dumb fun (with a hint of frustration) it provided me with.

Right now LoL disgusts me; I finally pressed the "uninstall" button.

The reason is the playerbase.

For several months now I've been having difficulty finding a match without having to mute someone. The amount of haters in this game is astonishing and long exposure to them makes me gradually become one myself. It feels like some players are more interested in fighting each other than the enemy.

On weekends, the game is unplayable. I haven't seen a proper normal or ranked match during that time in MONTHS. There's always someone trolling/*****ing on my, or enemy team, or both. Trust me, it's really not fun to have a hateful duo mid in a match regardless of what side they're on.

Seriously, even my last few ranked matches were boring and annoying. Either enemy had trolls on their team and I got a free win or my team had something along those lines going on with it. In the end I'm like: "So am I good/bad or just lucky/unlucky?".

Any*****, I really get no satisfaction from winning a match against a mid Nunu & Willump or ADC Orianna. Oh and yeah, everything's accompanied by *****ing. :I

Nearly all my friends that I used to play LoL with either quit, want to quit or started acting like hateful *******s in this game.

Did anyone here go through the same thing, or is starting to feel the same way? Thoughts?

tl;dr: Much flame. Very sadness. Such quit.
I don't play LoL anymore.

If your not enjoying this game, Then uninstall.

OH WAIT.

Play another video game, I've been playing a bunch of hearthstone in the preseason because i was so bored of league of legends, but you are not enjoying this game because of a different reason.

If im mad i usually just masturbate, usually that works if it doesnt work i go watch
twitch.tv/fable687 or twitch.tv/nl_kripp

Honestly nobody cares if you uninstall, i take it your one of those guys who doesn't watch LCS streams a lot or the twitch.tv/esltv_lol stream going on right now. honestly watching streams is how you learn to cope with this game.

I'm not asking people to care about me uninstalling. I wanna know what people think of the things I posted about the community. But yeah, I'm playing other games atm.

congrats, bro! It's tough to quit a game like league - even if you hate it, it's like a drug, it's really hard to not come back to it. This past summer, i tried quitting it, but i eventually relapsed :S

You are a nice and insightful contributor to mobafire. If not through commentating inhouse games, through at least your posts =)

Not saying this issue isn't game wide, but it seems to be much more prevalent in lower elos. This could be due to bans being issued and a high number of smurfs being created. Personally, my ranked games are generally competitive with little to no trolling.

If it's really causing you to dislike the game I'd suggest muting everyone from the start. That's unfortunate but it could allow you to enjoy the actual game without the distraction.

opinion of the community? kind of hit or miss. but honestly if you carry/win a game people shut their mouths real quick. i can't even count the number of times i have gotten flamed by my adc that i am not doing my job and in the end not only do i help my team to win but i end up with a better KDA than my adc cause in reality THEY SUCKED. ultimately they shut their mouths.

just don't talk back to the trolling/flaming/temper tantrums. play the game and win.

honestly I RARELY play games solo. i almost always have 1 friend in a game just cause it makes it more fun. and i know that at least 2 people in my game are not trolling.

never hurts to take a break though and play another game for a bit. or masturbate. you know. whatever.

Thanks to Hogopogo for my signature!

For me it's pretty simple: are you having fun? If not, quit. Yes? Go on.

I pretty much mute the **** out of every single person that is bad mannered. If they complain politely, I talk to them. If not, I don't say ****, mute and move on.

Hope you have fun doing something else!

About the quitting thing, I've thought about it just because the game starts to lose some of its appeal after a while and that's normal. There will come a time, I believe, when I will have no motivation at all to play League. When that day comes, I really hope Diablo 4 or 5 will be awesome.

Dota 2 has worse players because they think so highly of themselves, though almost all of them fail extremely hard at the game. Sure I misplay sometimes but they're still worse.

Basically how I play LoL

Gotta agree with this now that I read it properly. At least they make up for it by having a marginally better community, and even that depends on your opinion.

Well I don't think this problem is LoL specific. People of this age are like this, especially when their goal is to win rather than to improve. Best of luck finding another team-based game that doesn't have a whole bunch of toxic players.

The game itself is fun to me and no one can stand in my way to improve so I don't really care what anyone says ingame. I personally think changing your attitude towards it can help a whole lot but if it's the game itself you don't like, then uninstalling was a good decision.
