So I made a decision...

It's a really hard one. Playing LoL has given me lots of hours of fun, recreation and opportunities to meet new friends.

But... LoL has also given me lots of hours of frustration, endless negative rants/taunts/humilations in chats, loss streaks beyond normal, and technical issues at evening play primetime.

I really can say that no game in my gaming career since 1984 (!) has made me feel so frustrated. Thats really a sad thing.

People told me so many things to motivate me again. To improve my skills, to ignore bad players, to calm down and not shout back... Read More

Well there he is, the count of dunes or Imperator of the Sands, and with him this army of sand soldiers appearing out of nowhere.

Seeing him a few times now in some games, I remembered the movie "The 5th Element", where there is this scene in the ancient Eqyptian tomb at the beginning, when the Professor tries to decipher the symbols and constantly calls for more light:

"Aziz!" - "Aziz! Light!"

and the poor young fellow is soo tired of holding the mirror up for his boss...

And then the Mondoshawan appear and finally, there is ENOUGH light :)

Ah again it happened!

Played my last game to come into promo (B5 => B4).. and I get just enough points to NOT enter... now 99LP, thank you LoL :)

Really, is it bad luck or what´s the matter? It happened a few times now. Seems it´s on purpose. I could understand to do this in high ELO regions, but please, B5 should MOTIVATE you to play more and to try to improve...

So what will happen now: My average win rate is for sure not above 51%.. I will win next game, then fail 2 games, then will be back on 75LP or so. Damn! Read More

So where to start? I told all friends last week, I stop playing solo ranked now, and this time it´s for real. And then again, I started again on the weekend.

Nah! Can´t be! I fell for the constant humiliation by "Easy"-saying opponents, for being trolled 24/7 and for AFK´s, leavers, haters, etc.

And that´s why: I still believe there must be some sense in playing this game, specifically this game mode. There must be an answer somewhere to why this all happens. Why people play 1st time Udyr in ranked games, and fail 0/11... oh my!

Someone said, you cannot get the right... Read More
