Although I feel it should've been obvious by now I won't be making League content on my own channels. I also know some people will ask "DOES THIS MEAN YOU'RE QUITTING MOE'S CHANNEL?!?!?!?" As I said in the video, no I love my job. My time is super limited and playing League gives me 0 satisfaction, only frustration. That being said if you were only here for League content (even though I haven't posted any in years) thank you for your support and it was nice having you around. I'll be continuing to create content for the games that interest me and hopefully show you guys who do ONLY play one game that there's a LOT more to video games than you think. Love you all and see you next month where we talk about Team Reptile's upcoming game: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk!
Idk man. But as soon as riot made a big changes to lol. I didnt feel any more happiness playing the game. But yeah, professional plays are fun to watch but the game isnt specially if youre playing solo
Yeah, I avoided talking about this for years cause I was always sick of being asked about it. I'm glad I managed to get it out as concisely as possible. I understand League is big for a lot of people and that's totally fine, I just couldn't handle it anymore.
@@Pinoy. yeah playing league 10 hours a day and getting so engrossed into it to the point where its affecting how you act irl and the way you talk to ppl is really scary. its like an endless loop where you cant stop playing and just became a shit person. Ive quit for the same reason and legit feel like 10x happier and less toxic playing other games. again thanks for making this bro :D
lost 2 of my frens coz of a league game. they were my friends since they were just friends to being a couple (basically im a third wheel but they didnt mind). now they wont even ask how i am now. i miss them. but i just think of that as my punishment for being a garbage person who said harsh and personal things (since i was their friend, i know about them a lot and i used that to hurt them) to my friends just becoz they cant play the way i want them to play. i dont know how to approach them anymore
@@leonardoc0rtez289 Unsubscribe from all channels related to league and anything else that might remind you of the game. Uninstall and quickly find something else to distract you for the next few weeks. Another game, netflix, work and school, friends, anime, politics, whatever. After some time you realize how shitty of an experience league really is and wonder why you sticked to it for so long.
Think about the benefits of LoL, do you get anything good from it? As the one above me said, find a new game, maybe one which you can play offline! I didn‘t play LoL for 3 Years now. All I did was to give away my Computer and find a hobby (drawing). I was done waking up early in the morning until late evening only for LoL
This video perfectly summarizes my experience with league, and why I dread even touching the game. I love league's characters, lore, music, and its art. However, the game just isn't fun to play, mainly due to its extremely toxic community, and bad/greedy game design choices by Riot (among other things) "The league community has normalized toxicity to such an insane point, I can't stand it" On point.
When he said "I feel like I was having more fun when I was LEARNING league" hit so hard. Back then, when I would lose it would be "whoops! I messed up" or "Noooo!!" (But in a fun way ya know) NOW, when I lose, it's because I was micro managing my entire team and I knew what every champ can and cannot do. I would blame them for not playing that champ how I play it.
I feel like sharing here: I had a very similar expierence with league to the point it consumed me so badly that I lost on sleep, ditched friends and barely even left my room. After years and years of going through with it because I forced myself to have fun with it because I was scared of loosing my friends. After having a horrible expierence with my mental, to the point where I saw myself becoming the toxic person,I hated so much, I just stopped it all (I usually tried to shift blame onto myself, the mindset of "i cant change my team, i can only change myself"). I wish I had called it earlier and invested those years into something more useful but hey, I would also not give up those years because they made me who I am. The break showed me I had a lot to learn about myself and that I actually have other interests besides videogames. This was a 4-5 year long break and I am happy to say I found other games that fullfilled me more in the down time. Fast forward to mid 2019 or so, i picked the game again just for the sole purpose of dicking around in normals with friends and kind of "reliving" the old fun times. Sure the game can still get on peoples nerves every once in a while but most of the time we have a blast playing it together and dicking around. I kind of respect the people going through the grind kind of just because I know how horrible it can be / get. In my opinion the best way to play league is just to have fun. And if you cant, take a break or quit. The game can get addicting and ruin your mental very quick. Obviously in no way am I trying to indicate that you should try it again, god bless you were strong enough to quit for good, I just really felt like sharing this after watching your video!
Tip for everyone who started playing league just recently dont take that game to seriously otherwise it will ruin your life more that drugs i know what im talking about Good Luck
or simply dont play ranked, it just takes out the seriousness and competitiveness from the game, since i stopped playing solo q and started playing aram and normal only i started actually having fun in this game
I quit after getting the prestige teemo skin on July 31, because I wasn't having fun. I hated Nexus Blitz. I played horrendously afterwards, 1 thing wrong and I became instantly frustrated. My friends told me I was taking the game too seriously and I should play for fun. Then I quit because I couldn't. I don't understand how to have fun in League when I'm always crushed by enemies. Idk if I'm gonna return but I will use this time to think about what's really important and better for me.
I saw this advice all the time. Thought it was weak, just giving up. Played ranked for the first time yesterday and ohhhh boy. I was wrong. Best tip for league is mute all or uninstall.
@@DaRkJ4ck Oor have a background while telling his story, which I'm pretty sure you don't give a fuck about, and you're just a hater who has dedicated a lot of time on hating someone. Sadder than raging in league.
This is the problem with any game that gets a huge fanbase. The more people there are in any fandom, the more toxic it becomes. It’s as inevitable as the sun rising. It’s just the way things work.
How are u everywhere I go... tho I kinda agree, there are toxic people in every game. But some games have a toxic environment and it became acceptable to flame and ruin others people experience and sadly this happens more and more these days...
@@thesevenchickensontheroad8209 well if u take into consideration games that arent team base like fighter games, It's a lot less toxic cuz as he sais u can only blame yourself
every online multiplayer game will have toxicity to some degree because people need something to compensate. if the game is competitive and a rank is behind taht even more so. its like with sports, which have become more and more toxic as well. and the more people join in the more toxicity develops. Although in an online game there would be certain things taht could be done to reduce toxicity by a large margin but Riot doesnt really care tbh. Now especially since League isnt the only thing floating their boat. The balancing became hilariously bad over the last 3-4 years. nobody watches live LEC or LCS , hell the co-streams have more views. if riot doesnt change shit up its pretty doomed my bois. a lot of people o know and i read about are quitting/ about to quit. 70% of my friendlist is gone in the course of this year. Well see if and when how Riot turnes this around.
I mean it's probably been a buildup of a bullshit mountain, but that Amumu has to be a specially bred type of cancer. "Oh look, my teammate is doing well! What to do now? Of course, how could I forget! We INT because nobody is allowed to have a good game on my watch!"
Earlier in my last p1 promos my support locked in nunu then changed to smite and trolled our jglr stealing all his buffs took a look at his match history he was 10/5 wih pyke last game and lost so he decided to int us :)
@@nagato2k633 Sounds just like my plat 4 demotion game to gold. Had a support main lock in anivia support and literally wall me forward in lane during trades so I couldn't walk back and died. He was gold 2 and lost the past 5 games going 0/7 on average. Needless to say, I haven't played League in 2 weeks since then and if I ever start playing again it'll be strictly in normals or ARAM. Nothing is more demoralizing that being demoted because players are upset at their loses and take it out on their next team like the manchilds they are.
Man. This was literally me last week. Told my friends i'm over the game, done. They joked and said "No one quits league" or "What will we play together?". Literally any game but League. Win or lose it's not even fun anymore. All thanks to the community. Great vid. Oh, Subbed and now following your twitch :D .
I related so much to the "I looked like a zombie" moment. Its even scary having to remember that I used to be like that about some 20 lp. Nice video as allways Pinoy! Also Lethal League video hype is real my dude!
I've never related to something so much man. Good for you. Im proud of you for moving on. People dont realize how addicting and heavy that game is. The toxicity genuinely degrades your humanity. Also, youre awesome for you, not what you play. So keep playing what you want, streaming and recording what you want, and making moe's videos all the more hilarious too. Also also, the persona music in your videos slaps harder than donkey kong down b.
Bruh this is so goddamn relatable, I only have Lol installed to play with the boys from time to time, but there is much better games out there, and its not even worth to play ranked anymore
I just watched this video and I realized that everyone I met on solo queue isn't ejnoying the game at all. We are just all addicted. I should unninstall this game when they reworked Aatrox and Akali at almost the same time. When this happened I couldn't enjoy this game anymore. I've been playing Taric in jg, getting plat and make new account over and over with the same sequence. I am unninstalling it right now, Thanks a lot Pinoy! You are going to change my life for better.
It's literally me every time I think about league The issue is, I keep playing it for only 3 reasons 1 my pc has very bad graphic card and I have no way of changing it, so I have to stay with low req games 2 Diana (seriously, she's the only champ I enjoy both winning and losing with, because even when behind I'm still useful if I make right decisions) 3 for some reason, toxic games are very rare for me. Probably because people understand that if they type too much they waste time :3
@@laundrysauce354 i play ranked purely of the fact whenever sb notices i play league, the first question is "what's your rank" and it honestly feels terrible to answer that I'm silver

Quitting League when my school re opens. When I play League all I do is get mad and always encounter toxicity even though I don't even say anything. My friends are also toxic when they die they blame the game mechanics instead of themselves. They also insult the enemy for playing their own play style for some reason. So I'm happily quitting league
I feel this so much, been getting back into single player games(currently playing Persona 4 Golden) I've realized I've missed so many great games throughout the years and there are so much coming out. Competitive gaming can really take away the fun of video games sometimes.
I been playing League since 2012, never been banned or chat restricted. Its all on you. I have all the patience in the world. And I'm still the same person, in fact, better. I met so many of my amazing friends because of League and idk where I'll be without them. I understand frustration in League games. But theres no point in raging. I've never raged before, and i see no point in raging.
You are so right its all about the mental, fuck skill fuck bad teammates you cant control 4 other people but you can learn to make the right decisions. Where did i go wrong or what should i have done. A simple example of this is when you get ganked 3 times in a row so you start blaming your jungler why didnt you come, when in fact you overextend 3 times for 2 caster minions. Point is ego is the biggest problem in the community, i know everything you dont
I want to call bullshit because there's no way you haven't raged a single time. Playing any game can be fustrating at times, that's a normal part of games. You just shouldnt be raging 24/7. If you really haven't before, then uh, grats? But yes, if you act badly in game, then it's all your fault.
You are right 100 percent ive raged before ofc but the point of the game is to have fun right, yes its a strategic game that not everyone can understand and master, but its fun learning it right, at least for me
I remember playing Divinity Original Sin one day on a whim, and had so much fun. I had forgotten what fun in a video game was. I quit league then and there.
@@haruhirogrimgar6047 Wait, why? You're supposed to be having fun playing games, so if you're not having fun, then why bother to continue playing it? Although there are a few exceptions, such as if a game is said by A LOT of people that it gets better later on
@@sanstheskeleton679 There are many games that are supposed to invite feelings of fatigue, depression, force uncomfortable contemplation, or even just heartache through a combination of mechanics and story. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is super boring and a slog to play by the halfway point and you are only there to hang out with Roxas's friends. And at the same point in the story that is exactly how Roxas feels, the game is greatly enhanced by becoming a chore to play and only makes you want to play more. Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice and Death Stranding are other examples of games intentionally uncomfortable to play for the purpose of their narrative to great success (and I could talk about them for pages upon pages.) And even in other games there are segments where they de-power the protagonist/player character. This both makes gameplay less fun, but also supplies a lot of perspective for how far the game and your character has come. The "Fun-game-only" mentality is disgustingly pervasive among Nintendo games and fans. The medium of gaming shouldn't be restricted to being a Mario game. No story except one that makes you smile once a game, and something where it feels nice to control the character, but nothing past that.
Haruhiro Grimgar I respect that, but really there’s no point in playing a game if you don’t enjoy it. You mentioned how certain games are meant to make you feel certain things, but in the end, did you enjoy how those feelings were delivered? If you did, then you had fun. Even if it was extremely depressing the entire play through, the game was successful in making you feel an emotion, and that can be enjoyable. If you don’t like the emotion it gave you, why bother?
It’s honestly sad how league has normalized toxicity to a point where telling someone to kill them selves is a normal thing that happens in 80% of the games you play
@@SawyerFan.1 elo doesnt matter. i know for fact that "kys" is no1 bannable word in league. Ppl who watch youtube know that u take a risk for saying it ingame cuz several youtubers have talked about this.
@@SawyerFan.1 he's right, In league "kys" is more forbid than 1000 other curse word. That said toxicity is definitely a problem, its just the players playing around the system not to get banned.
I'm right there with you. You can only bear an unenjoyable experience for so long before you realize there are better games out there. I guess some people just can't break the addiction cycle.
I will tell you my experience with this game, i started it seriously in 2012 also i was in 8th grade, i was always a really extrovert kid and pretty popular around school, yes i played games since i was a young kid but not to the extent i would play league of legends, when i started it everything seemed nice i would play it on short bursts and it wasn't interfearing with my studies or social life, but then the short bursts started to transform into long gaming hours where i would yell at my family if they even dared to disturb my play time, my grades started going down too, i never was a genius in school but i would say i had above average grades, during this addiction my grades fell to the point where i would pass the courses just barely, my social life was gone also, declining meets with other people, and breaking bonds, when people gave me money as gifts for example on aniversary or christmas i would spend it on league nothing else, eventually i got to 11th grade and quit school because of league of legends, i can tell you that maybe this game gave me 1 year of happiness at most, and ruined more than 6 or 7 years of my life, I have since quit league and i have tried to install it again and try to play a match and after it i uninstall it because the game is so boring to me and just brings bad memories. Now i am 22 years old and my life is back on track thanks to my family that helped me overcome this, i just have 1.5 years of college left and i will graduate as a mechanical engineer(Automotive sector). Sorry For the long wall of text but i strongly dont recommend this game to anyone that wants to try it, there are much better games out there, where you will have much more fun and not ruin years of your life
you are 22 years old...you are way to young to say "Destroyed my life" . Your life hasnt even began yet. Also, the fact that you distant people, its clearly your fault because of the addictions you created to League. This can happen with every game. In my 17s i played Skyrim 24/7. My sleep was 3-4 hours and the next day i had to go to school. Its not Skyrims fault, it was clearly me...What did i gain? Nothing,i just know how to play skyrim and that fantasy part remains in my mind. League Of Legends its a good game playing with a friend, not the best but its good. Everything you do requires balance in your life, gaming, working, socializing etc.
@@g.kalomiris League is literally designed to be addictive in so many ways just do a little research and don't dismiss this person. I'm an avid gamer and no game has ever come close to destroying my life like this worthless excuse for a game has. Sure, some people are more prone to addiction, but this game literally targets those people and preys on their weakness. It's predatory and disgusting. This game needs to be boycotted and abolished.
Pinoy, you’re like an inspiration to me. I have no idea what im doing with my life but i know i like to edit videos and stream. Great video man! Im glad ur doing well!
I won't lie, I wasn't here back when you played league, but I was here when you played P5, and I loved that shit. So I don't give a damn why you quit league, just keep playing what makes you damn happy.
Your story is kinda relatable. I stopped feeling happy playing the game as soon as I took the game seriously. I never flamed my friends or anything like you did but, I still ended up in the same situation. It was only after some 16+ loss streak that I realized that I stopped feeling happy when I won and stopped feeling sad when I lost. It used to piss me off when someone fed or afkd and flamed me but I just didn't care. Instead of quitting LoL, my friends and I just play it in the background as a time waster or as some chat room game. Riot's art and music team are super good but every other department sucks so much. They have the same shitty client riddled with bugs for so long. Each new champion like Sett, Aphelios, Senna, Yuumi etc. has some insane new mechanic that makes them broken (except yone and lilia from what I know) and if they aren't doing good on release, they overbuff them and neglect to nerf them for months. When problems with their game is brought up, they just make a post or announcement that makes empty promises that say they know and are working on it. Like that useless lobby report function that came from voyboy's statement. You can report someone in champ select now! Too bad reporting doesn't do jackshit in the first place!
You pretty much hit the nail on the head man. I get where you're coming from as well with League becoming a social game. It just didn't happen for me due to my fear of getting addicted again.
I have an account since beta days and i can tell you right now that this game ruins lives, you may think i am exagerating but i am not, there are numerous people that will tell you the same, as you as you start noticing your mood changing quit the game and don't come back, don't tell me i didn't warn you
Played LoL 2015-2017. I mostly remember getting pissed, and eventually becoming toxic myself. Only fun moments are the games with friends, but even those memories still had toxicity. I haven't delved into multiplayer games as much...
Riot is not the best at solving problems. But literally anything that has a huge fanbase will have a shit community. Literally put any team based competitive game + huge fanbase and it'll have a bad community 100%
@@LixienXIII You could not be more wrong. Halo when it was a popular competitive game, Heroes of the storm before Blizzard cancelled it. Hell you could name practically every competitive FPS game and they're all infinitely less toxic than League. Your blanket assumption that "gamers playing together on a team will inherently create a toxic community" is just moronic and has no logic to it. CSGO for example, for as much shit and trolling that happens there is not nearly the degree as League. The person or company that the community is founded on has control over what type of community they want. They have every bit of power to mold the community based on what behaviors they want to tolerate vs what behaviors they want to ban. Riot themselves openly endorses griefing and have publically on many occasions. It was either last year or the prior in which during the pre-season they literally endorsed griefing with showing a diana building 6 IE's and saying "experiment!" in a video they released trying to hype the pre-season. Now compare that to blizzard, a company who everyone knows just how dogshit they are publically and how terrible their grasp is on balancing and not sucking the fun out of their games. What did blizzard do on several occasions when various pros would get upset at solo Q and grief their teams? They banned those players from competitive play for a year and banned the accounts they were playing on. What did Blizzard do when people would dodge drafts and not care about holding lobbies hostage? They added "silencing" and leaver buster which made you have to play AND win 3-5 normals before you could play ranked again and silencing made it so if you queued up any mode, you'd be put in low priority queue and you'd be matched with mostly other people who were also silenced. For all the horrendous problems that game had and blizzard still has, they actually did things to at least attempt to stomp out any toxic players and streamers/pros/community figures that got "tilted" and griefed games. Even if it was 1 game they would get punished because with how the replay system worked you could save replays locally and thus there was always evidence to upload online. Riot on the other hand has done literally _NOTHING_ to even address this problem. It took Voyboy, fucking Voyboy, a guy who was effectively the Mr Rogers of League to make a video about what was obvious for YEARS now: League's community was ruining the game and not just in a minor or unimportant way. What did Riot do? They literally just copy+pasted the report function from the post-game lobby into the Draft and said "let's call it a good day's work!" And let me make one thing clear: No one cares about the toxic manlet typing a storm in game chat. We all can mute that person and Riot gives you the ability to disable all forms of in-game chat so if you ever do see flame in-game it's because YOU chose to see it. What we can't mute however is the 0/2 top laner that gets upset because he played lane bad but doesn't want to take personal responsibility for himself and instead spam pings his jungler and literally just AFK perma fights his laner when he's down items and levels already because of his personal mistakes. I CAN'T mute a teammate's griefing like that. I don't care what someone types to me online or over voice chat. I played xbox 360 during the Halo3/CODMW2 days. I know far worse verbal toxicity than League. Riot doesn't care to address this problem because, namely, it isn't a problem that they can monetize. There's no financial gain out of spending weeks and weeks and paying employees thousands of dollars to fix a problem that not only cannot be permanently fixed but also will require a consistent punishment system with a fair amount of manual review. There's also no incentive in doing that as they made this bet years ago that players would continue to complain about actionable toxicity (griefing, inting, holding games hostage, etc.) but they would also continue playing the game even if Riot did nothing because they are addicted. Riot made that bet and it paid off. So all these threats by streamers mean nothing because Riot also is aware of the obvious fact that most of those streamers NEED league as their main source of content for their job as a streamer.
you've inspired me to take my first break from league in 2 years. Starting today I'm not going to play for at least 2 months. I've become extremely toxic, something I never was before league.
Make sure to have a fun replacement activity while you're at it. Sometimes even if you know you don't want league, you might just end up falling back to it by habit (and it's okay). So it helps to have a new thing to dedicate your time and energy with.
I completely agree on the fighting games part. It's all 1v1. No one to depend on other than yourself. It's also fun as fuck to watch 2 very skilled players duke it out and see who comes out on top. IMO, it's the best pvp experience you'll ever get. There's no luck, teammates, stats, or items involved. It's all on how well you use your character and how well your opponent uses their character.
Hey man, respect, good vid. I myself tought countless times to stop playing league and play something else, but I simply can't bring myself to stop playing a game I spent thousand of hours learning, but I do believe the time I say goodbye to league will come soon enough, again, good vid.
I question my League motives as well (and I just started playing in march lmaooo) but then I have those games where I hard carry, or our team is behind and we come back, and those very hard fought for games make me happy and motivated. I wish all league games were very close and can go either way, but most of the time the game is decided within 15 minutes. Rarely I have a game go on for longer than 30 mins sadly.
Pinoy, Im 16, never really started playing games like LoL and other online games (just watching them) and I am happy to say that I am intelligent enough not to do so. Id only play minecraft with the homies and trolling around. Im happy that my interests are in music production and I have met so many amazing friends in this industry and I have already achieved so many things (the amount of followers and subbers has nothing to say). An Im always happy to see people like you just helping others out and giving them a smile. I am so happy to know you Pinoy!
Honestly the game is so fucking addictive, I've only played for like 3 seasons but the thing that always makes me want to play is seeing myself improve. I just love the feeling of climbing the ladder even though it makes me rage and is often quite frustrating. I guess it's just my winner mentality or my strive to be competitive but the game/community really destroys people with toxicity and hate so much so that the players are unbearable. Just glad you were able to quit it.
Honestly I hate what I've become from playing League, starting playing pre-season 8 and as a person I'm much more 'pent up' and just toxic in general, after watching this video I uninstalled and hopefully can stick to it
@@CookieMonstaSport same here but i started in season 8 in the start i was enjoying the game cuz i knew nothing but now im empty and depressed cuz i cant climb and everything
I am SO GLAD that I ran into this video. I have stopped playing league of legends on and off after all the countless bad experiences that I've had with the game. This game is NOT fun at all, the only reason why i always come back to it every now and then is because of the feeling that i have put too much time and $$$ on skins. Thanks for helping me realize that that's not a valid reason to continue playing a game, I've finally uninstalled this trash game!
Couldn't agree more with your points especially about the Amumu. In a reverse scenario to your D5 promos out of plat, about 2 weeks ago I was in my demotion game from Plat to Gold. I got a support player who was on a 5 game loss streak and decided to lock in Anivia support with ghost ignite and he would use his wall ability during trades/situations where I wanted to walk back to block me in from retreating and effectively made me feed. After dying twice I just let the enemy bot lane push the wave to my tower to farm but as you guessed it, once he was 6 he'd use his R on the wave to deny me the CS. I lost that game and got demoted down to Gold after spending about a month for the first time in about 2 years of playing League to actually "Tryhard" and focus on self improvement. I climbed from Silver 2 to Plat in 1 month. There was a lot of fun in the grind for Plat (which was my goal) but there was even greater frustration and numbness to the experience. I wasn't exactly like you where you didn't enjoy wins, but every time I'd lose 2+ games in a row I couldn't help but think "God damn it, now I have to play 3+ more games to back to where I started the day just to break even." I came from SC2 to this game and it just shocks me how much the playerbase of this game in particular is vehemently against self improvement and self analysis. In SC2 that was everything because you had no one else to use as an excuse for why you lost. The inherent nature of a 1v1 game forced you to take accountability. League doesn't.
@OriginalFake i wanna see you balance 150+ champions and over 300 difirent items with difirent effects that can be used on every 152 champs The game can be out for 30 years but such a big game can never be balanced
I played Overwatch and CSGO before I started League of Legends. I was never toxic. Actually, I usually tried to make the team less tilted when playing them. Then I got into League. I played it for 3 months seriously after playing it for a year. I would get angry when someone would do poorly, which doesn't seem like that, but I wouldn't get annoyed at all in any other games, so this really changed me. The game is really annoying to play when you tryhard in ranked. People are toxic for no reason. The few matches I carry with a cool play, I get excited, play another match, and get annoyed. I got Gold, and now I only play normals. (Technically just started to weeks ago.) The game is fun, but if you play it through tilt to tryhard, it gets boring. Just enjoy the game and stop flaming all the whole time, especially in normals. I might stop playing completely because even Nexus Blitz and ARAM are toxic.
@@banananinjavacationbanana2257 That's what I keep on hearing, but they could never tilt me like League could. Overwatch toxicity was nothing compared to League.
I started playing LoL in 2019, after my friend, Kos, had introduced me to this game. Both of us were noobs. My friend was playing Jax at the time and I was playing Kayn. At the botlane. We were eventually so bad that we said things like "I DON'T NEED ITEMS I CAN SHRED HIM EASILY". I got addicted to this game and after a long time, I started playing ranked with Kos. We were quite good. Usually I was winning my lane, and so did he. However, everytime he didn't inform me that his enemy was out of lane I became toxic and started yelling at him saying "WHERE IS THE SS MAN". I wish I had never done that... I even spent 110 into LoL... In March of 2020 my account was permanently banned because I called names at two trolling premades. I had no idea how the ban system worked. 1-2 months later Kos' account was banned as well for exposing Riot at the chat. Both of us stopped playing this "game".
The key to keep enjoying League is: have variety in what you play. Don't overplay the game, don't say "I'll go to bed whenever I win", know when to stop, take breaks, and learn from your mistakes AND your teammate's mistakes too. Also have other games that are stress relievers, either PvE shooters, solo games, or strategy ones. Or just do something else. I still enjoy League and I've been playing since Season 3 and never quit until this day. Of course: Quitting or not doesn't make you better either way though, it's just games lol.
8:38 ON IS THE TRUEST SHIT I HAVE EVER HEARD. it was so much more fun learning I made new friends we squared up in normals and everything nowadays people only care about ranked and I feel bad about telling someone I am a for fun player. league has definitely changed and not for the better Edit: oh my lord i remember I was learning yasuo I literally emailed you and moe about tips. that was years back
Good video brother. Im surprised it took you this long to quit league. I started playing begin season 7 and I already gave up on playing league. Stopped enjoying the game at the end of S9 already.
The legend himself, bless you bro. I honestly don't know i kept it up from s2 to s7 or whatever it was. I've been a lot better mentally since I stopped playing the game and after years of just kinda avoiding the topic I felt like I needed to "book end" that part of my life. I hate thinking about how I used to be, but it feels good to finally let people know WHY I always avoided the PINOY PLAY LEAGUE question lol.
Such a great video, everything u said is true. I quit league like 1 month ago for practically the same reasons. The game became way too competitive for me and all I cared about was some goddamn points on a video game( LP) and ranks, despite the fact that they mean practically NOTHING. I had no fun anymore playing the game. The only thing that gave me joy about it was participating tournaments and clashes with my team. They were very fun. But they weren't enough. Most of the time I had to grind and get a good soloq rank, frustrating myself and forced to play with doshit players all the time which just piss me off and ruin my day. If anybody reading this comment is thinking twice about quitting League of Legends, I highly recommend u to not even think about it. Just do it instantly. If u can't uninstall the game, start playing a lot less than u are playing right now. Focus on something else. Once u get busy with something else, u will feel like u have no time to play league anymore. You will also get a new source of dopamine, which will mean a lot more to you than just some numbers on a video game. Good luck out there, I love u
this is so true, league was so much more fun when i didnt know what the fuck was going on and just played the game for playing the game, but when i started to actually learn how the game worked it just stopped being fun. the only fun i have when i play is when i stomp them so hard i start to almost feel sorry for my opponent on how bad they are
Man, all the things you mentioned in your video hits right in the kokoro. i've been a league player since 2012 as well, and have been addicted to the game since then. Chose league over other games since i needed to climb the ranks every season until I got to the point where I'm not enjoying the game anymore, and i guess the continuous stress and frustration from the ranked queues made me stop playing the game. Been on hiatus now for almost two years and I'm really happy about my decision to quit. I stopped playing competitively for online multiplayer games as well and now just plays these games for the fun of it. Also, after i stopped playing league, I've had more time for my console games which is hella lot more fun! Hehe Kudos to you sir! And goodluck on your future endeavors.
My experience is similar to this. I quit playing many mobas and team games and started playing card games, fighting games and such and boy am I glad I did it.
Idk i've been playing for a year now and still have fun. Even when i play my main role (support) it always ends up fun to me unless the enemy team is literally 50/0. I also love riot's music, lore and cinematic teams. I am absolutely in love with all the stories and beautiful places from the world of runeterra(plus the characters). yes people flame me once in a while but i forget them within a day. I haven't enjoyed this many things about an online game for a long time but i guess it's just me
This is exactly why I quit League almost a year ago. I'm just happy playing games I enjoy, and when I don't enjoy a game I quit and move on to the next game
Everytime I have the urge to play league again, I quickly remember all the negative experience i had playing it and that immediately kills the urge to play it again.
This vid reminds me of the old days of me playing League. It is when the map is dark and old, the players are not that toxic (Philippines Server), and Yasuo hasn't been made yet. I really loved the game until a friend of mine introduced to me how to play "competitively" and made me play rank. That's the time everything goes downhill...
An Amumu was the reason why I didnt win my promos to d5 in season 7 too. It was the last game I could play before the season ended and he went afk aswell. Didnt play for two years after that.
Do you miss it? I just got suspended bc of how i trash talk inters or afks. This game has won my heart but I no longer feel like im in the right headspace to play it anymore:( i lost 50 bucks on the game and i hate myself for it.
Dude this video hit me so hard. I´ve been stugglinf cause i dont find joy in games anymore, and its nice to see that someone has been in the same place. Now i play with all my friends, and just chill with ANY game. Thanks for the video my dude
what he said in 8:38 is so true. learning the game and new champs back in 2014/2015 was so so fun. plus, back when I used to play a lot with friends online and irl friends. these days, after about 5 years I know (on an average level) what I need to do/build in order to win and rlly only enjoy about 5 champs and very rarely any other ones. i dunno man this game was much more fun back then when I was younger as well, now I've dealt with relationships, breakups, family stuff, money stuff, general "future" worries. it's been a lot. but I still play it bc I rlly have nothing else to do in my freetime if none of my friends are at the beach or going out. plus, with the whole corona virus thing it's best to avoid leaving the house, right? idk.. man times are weird. stay safe everyone.
@@KtoNeznamo No ban system is perfect and can be easily abused. Didn't you hear what pinoy said about getting blamed for an amumu going afk just because he got a pentakill. The team most definately reported him en masse for that
@@finnheisenheim8274 because it's their game. You should be able to control your product and those who use it to a certain degree. You can't catch everyone, but you can influence the player base and minimize it. It doesn't help the company has a toxic environment in their own company 🤣
I have played 750+ ranked games every season from s6 to s9. this season i played about 40 and came to the realization that if i win i feel nothing, if i lose im upset. I was having 0 fun in ANY game i played and it was like that since s8. It was like an addiction. I had to play league no matter how it made me feel. I quit playing league about 6 months ago and only play TFT now. It is so relaxing and I genuinely have fun playing win or lose. I've never related to a video so much in my life. Thank you Pinoy
I played leauge because I like toxicity. When players are not toxic the games get boring for me. I played other games but they aren't as fun because there aren't any trash talking.
I think for many people it's an addiction, especially if you're a highly competitive person, and if you've invested years into it. Riot knows it. That's why they invented these side quests/achievements to give yourself a feeling of accomplishment/stay hooked, while they pump out new skins every 2 weeks for you to give them your money.
man I keep having dogsht team, I go ham every game always getting the first blood, buying pink wards, roam like a madman and ping like a robot. BUT I ALWAYS GET DOGSHT TEAM I CaNT CLIMB BACK TO MASTERS AGAIN IM D3 STUCK. if this dont improve ill quit league for real and switch to a pvp game that focus on solo and not team play
I am really grateful to one of my friends for opening my eyes about this subject. I started playing at the end of Season 3 and was able to play ranked at the start of Season 4. My first rank was bronze 5 (lmao) and i was just climbing slowly, next season b1 then silver. At this point i quit because it just made me really frustrated. After 2 years i returned. I got gold and now, this season I am at my peak P2. This happened when i started 1tricking achampion and having a pocket pick. For 4 years of playing ranked, I wouldn't care about playing a role, learning it and becoming better. I just wanted to play. Oh i just bought a new champ. tImE tO tRy It OuT iN rAnKeD. And it would work for 1 game (somehow idk most likely got carried) and then play it again, and again and lose. At one point I would have like 800 games of Ranked AND NOTHING ELSE. To me, normals didn't exist, neither did flex, nor ARAM. I started playing normals in Season 10 with my friend and i started having fun by playing troll shit and just having fun in game and laughing. TL;DR Was a shit bronze 5 player who would play random champs in ranked, started 1tricking got higher ranked, realised it was boring, started having fun with friends in normals.
Its good someone finally notice the different from 2013 gameplay vs 2020 gameplay in LoL i guess the old is much better than new one cuz the new one has many toxic player and griefer .
My favorite part of old league was there really was no set rules on how to play. Sure the community made up the meta and lane roles but Riot encouraging it is what made it worse. Before we could go anywhere and people get annoyed but adapt. Now if you dont go your lane then people quit, feed on purpose, report etc. League is communism. But the biggest reason Riot encouraged a one set play style is they made it that way. They changed the champs so they can only be strong in one role. They deleted or changed the items so they can only be used for one role. There is basically 1 or maybe 2 ways to play each champ now. Before there were hundreds. So yeah, I dont like league anymore. Its a play to win game that Riot made "fair". Also how is it fair that Riven can feed my ass on purpose then some how still do damage and survive damage? The game makes no sense anymore. The dude is right. Win or lose, the game isnt fun anymore. For me, it was more fun playing characters in crazy and un-expecting ways. Not this communist crap.
reasons why i quit in mid 2017 >Cant go to computer shops since my teacher warned us (that was after my computer broke so i had to play at cafes) >after not playing for soo long i wasnt used to the game and its nee mechanics >cannot adjust fast >most of my main heroes like xin zhao was changed and im not used to his new >lastly i got bored
Not gonna lie I had the exact same feeling with league, after I started playing single player games I felt like i was enjoying my time. I had all these games with amazing stories that I could play instead of league and when I did I loved every second of it. With league and other “online only” games I feel like im wasting my time, and it’s the reason why I don’t play alot of overwatch anymore
Couldn't agree more bro. I still enjoy playing a fighting game or halo/splatoon from time to time, but nothing beats the experience and feelings I get from single player games.
Same man, i have the same feeling i love trying new things but but i started just completely not getting any fun out of league. its just so stressful and its the only game that i really only rage at
Doesn't matter how good you are, if you have someone who afks, feeds, or trolls then you just lose and that's it. League is so trash now and im glad I quit.
I wanna share my experience as someone who played from late S4 and after years of playing casually decided to play rankeds in S10. Bear with me, it is lengthy. All of it is basically what you already said, you lose, you win, in the end you feel like a robot. Now, it is easy to say League is toxic and toxicity is very well accepted (because everyone does it, including me), the simple soulution is to just mute somebody, right? Which I totally agree upon, but you know it is really really bad when you just go /mute all on every match just because you already see the typical signs of people getting ready to flame you or your other team mates. I am currently climbing for the first time and for a ''first timer'' I am doing very well (I still mess up a lot) but it really really is frustrating, as a support main, when your carries mess up a lot and make you lose your team. You can buy all the needed supp items to keep a team alive i.e Redemption, Solari. You roam the mid lane and stay at bot, keep two lanes strong and alive, so your jungle can focus on top, you keep the enemies weak or make them lose cs, you tell your team to group up as FIVE and they do the oppossite, you tell them not to fight in a jungle against a cc-heavy team with carries that are superb in close combat and they just do it again. I do not expect to be the highest on the ladder, but after years of hearing about ''elo-hell'' or ''hardstuck'', I finally know what people know by it, undeservily. It is different than when I play a fighting game such as FighterZ, where I know I mess up because I lack experience and practice and I see my deadly mistakes. Another issue is the acceptance of smurfs, like every new friend you make says he/she has a smurf. It ruins rankeds because you are not playing against someone NEAR your rankeds. But once you point it out, people come out with excuses such as ''Yeah, I just do it for fun'' or ''I just have a bad day and want to have it not so hard'' or even worse, when they justify it with ''Well, people learn from losing against someone with better skill. They will benefit from'', it is like saying it is totally fine when a master in Martial arts cripples a child because the child will learn from someone who is better. I really really hate how much it is accepted that people, who finally struggle in a competitive mode, who finally got the rank they belong to and where they can grow, can just make a new account to just have it easier again. And no, I do not feel good when I notice I have a smurf in my team, the win feels undeserved and shitty. Another issue is with the community is the meta, I swear, people always play the same. There are over a hundred champions, tens of runes and keystones, but people always and really always use one way of playing the game (looking at you Klepto Ezreal and GP). People do not main champions, they main metas. I can partially understand them, because Riot really refuses to change things, just look how long Conqueror exists and just look how many champions use, I swear, the cheer amount of times you see this rune, even on champs such as Cassiopeia or Katarina, not just bruisers. And this brings me to my next point, the champions Riot Games is releasing. It is very easy to say a champ is broken, just like to point down a community is toxic, but the last champions, except one or two, are so overloaded. Just look at the amount of dashes, cc, mobility and damage the newest champ, Yone has. Another good example is Senna, a ''support'' who is so overloaded, she can heal and damage a lot. And you know what is the worst? Sure you can bare those champions, but then Riot Games god damn buffs them coincidentally at the same time these champs get skins! Honestly, why should I main something fun like Bard, a champ who needs a lot of skill to be used efficiently, when I can use more and double with half the work when I play a being such as Yuumi or Senna? I can tolerate old champions having their big issues, really, I can even tolerate a Pentakill Machine such as Yi. Because those champions are old, they can serve as an example how to do things wrong, but what Riot does is just using these champions as an inspiration. Honestly, why should the community even think about changing, when Riot really delays or refuses to do good change. And no, I do not hate everything about Riot Games, I do like this Season the most actually, but all those good things that I like feel so futile when I just see new releases such as Yone. And when that is not enough, Riot just nerfs or buffs champions all based on Pro-play. Not the solo-queue, just role-play. So the fun champion you learned the whole time, trying to master it because he/she needs a lot of skill and are very unpopular, yeah they got nerfed because >1% of players abuse him to death i.e Release-Ivern and Release-Aurelion Sol. TL;DR After 6 years decided to play rankeds. Wins and loses make me feel like a robot. Community made me /mute all every match. You giving your best as a supp main, help other lanes and buy the right items are meaniningless because of carries deciding to not coordinate and communicate. The normalisation of smurfing and even justifying it with pity excuses. People do not main champs, they main metas. Riot is very slacking into fixing or removing things i.e Conqueror ruin. The newest champs are really really overloaded i.e Yone, Senna and they get even buffed when they get a skin. All the good things Riot Games does are pretty great but become futile with new releases such as Yone. Riot cares only about Pro-play and buffs and nerfs champions accordingly, even when it means it could damage solo-queue.
I started playing league last year and after going on the ranked grind for the first season. Now i realise that normals and chill while following the pro scene is the best league experience.
Ngl I needed this. I’ve been looking CONSTANTLY for a reason to quit league. This was it. Literally every point you made, I feel. Not worth it. Thanks man. I don’t watch Moe videos cause he’s as toxic as the rest and it’s annoying but for real, I’ll be watchin your stuff. Cheers. And thanks
Although I feel it should've been obvious by now I won't be making League content on my own channels. I also know some people will ask "DOES THIS MEAN YOU'RE QUITTING MOE'S CHANNEL?!?!?!?" As I said in the video, no I love my job. My time is super limited and playing League gives me 0 satisfaction, only frustration. That being said if you were only here for League content (even though I haven't posted any in years) thank you for your support and it was nice having you around. I'll be continuing to create content for the games that interest me and hopefully show you guys who do ONLY play one game that there's a LOT more to video games than you think.
Love you all and see you next month where we talk about Team Reptile's upcoming game: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk!
I havent enjoyed league at all the few times ive played this summer, might quit as well
Quitting League is probably the best choice you could ever make
yes daddy!
Try out monster hunter world iceborne, its one of the best if not the best game in terms of combat system. plus the monster fights are awesome af
If you end up quitting, there are lots of great stuff out there to sink your teeth into.
"When you win or lose and you feel nothing." this hits so hard.
Time to quit then bro
When you have two feels: tilted and not tilted yet.
Ikr dude when I heard this I felt it
Idk man. But as soon as riot made a big changes to lol. I didnt feel any more happiness playing the game. But yeah, professional plays are fun to watch but the game isnt specially if youre playing solo
Thats my feeling as well. Im grateful for this recommend video.
"I just got a pentakill, and Amumu got mad that I got a penta and he went afk. Then my team started to blame me for making him go afk."
Wtf
every game of mine
And the fact his team started blaming him for that is what makes me WTF even harder
League players in a nutshell
Yeah i had a stroke hearing this ( maybe because i hadnt played a ranked game at all)
Get the amumu ign, and report to riot idk
this vid hits so different when you've been through the whole league toxic phase, great vid man
Yeah, I avoided talking about this for years cause I was always sick of being asked about it. I'm glad I managed to get it out as concisely as possible. I understand League is big for a lot of people and that's totally fine, I just couldn't handle it anymore.
@@Pinoy. yeah playing league 10 hours a day and getting so engrossed into it to the point where its affecting how you act irl and the way you talk to ppl is really scary. its like an endless loop where you cant stop playing and just became a shit person. Ive quit for the same reason and legit feel like 10x happier and less toxic playing other games. again thanks for making this bro :D
Yeah league is super toxic but I like the game so I try to ignore it as much as possible
lost 2 of my frens coz of a league game. they were my friends since they were just friends to being a couple (basically im a third wheel but they didnt mind). now they wont even ask how i am now. i miss them. but i just think of that as my punishment for being a garbage person who said harsh and personal things (since i was their friend, i know about them a lot and i used that to hurt them) to my friends just becoz they cant play the way i want them to play. i dont know how to approach them anymore

This video perfectly summarizes my experience with league, and why I dread even touching the game. I love league's characters, lore, music, and its art. However, the game just isn't fun to play, mainly due to its extremely toxic community, and bad/greedy game design choices by Riot (among other things)

When he said "I feel like I was having more fun when I was LEARNING league" hit so hard.
Back then, when I would lose it would be "whoops! I messed up" or "Noooo!!" (But in a fun way ya know) NOW, when I lose, it's because I was micro managing my entire team and I knew what every champ can and cannot do. I would blame them for not playing that champ how I play it.
Tbh I just don't take the game seriously and still try to play as good as I can. If someone flames me I just mute him.
@Corefornia You don't get it. Teammates aren't under your control.
@Corefornia Only thing to learn everyday after mechanics and warding are done from SOLO Q, is gank the right lanes and mute the flamers.
@Corefornia Yes.
@Corefornia Why did you bring that up?? that doesnt make any sense
I feel like sharing here:
I had a very similar expierence with league to the point it consumed me so badly that I lost on sleep, ditched friends and barely even left my room. After years and years of going through with it because I forced myself to have fun with it because I was scared of loosing my friends.
After having a horrible expierence with my mental, to the point where I saw myself becoming the toxic person,I hated so much, I just stopped it all (I usually tried to shift blame onto myself, the mindset of "i cant change my team, i can only change myself"). I wish I had called it earlier and invested those years into something more useful but hey, I would also not give up those years because they made me who I am. The break showed me I had a lot to learn about myself and that I actually have other interests besides videogames. This was a 4-5 year long break and I am happy to say I found other games that fullfilled me more in the down time.
Fast forward to mid 2019 or so, i picked the game again just for the sole purpose of dicking around in normals with friends and kind of "reliving" the old fun times. Sure the game can still get on peoples nerves every once in a while but most of the time we have a blast playing it together and dicking around. I kind of respect the people going through the grind kind of just because I know how horrible it can be / get. In my opinion the best way to play league is just to have fun. And if you cant, take a break or quit. The game can get addicting and ruin your mental very quick.
Obviously in no way am I trying to indicate that you should try it again, god bless you were strong enough to quit for good, I just really felt like sharing this after watching your video!
Tip for everyone who started playing league just recently dont take that game to seriously otherwise it will ruin your life more that drugs i know what im talking about
Good Luck
Player since 2011:
this is so fuckin true.
or simply dont play ranked, it just takes out the seriousness and competitiveness from the game, since i stopped playing solo q and started playing aram and normal only i started actually having fun in this game
Too late lol
I quit after getting the prestige teemo skin on July 31, because I wasn't having fun. I hated Nexus Blitz. I played horrendously afterwards, 1 thing wrong and I became instantly frustrated. My friends told me I was taking the game too seriously and I should play for fun. Then I quit because I couldn't. I don't understand how to have fun in League when I'm always crushed by enemies. Idk if I'm gonna return but I will use this time to think about what's really important and better for me.
Been playing for 6 years still haven't quit lol
"league toxicity is so bad"
Me, who has had chat disabled snce 2017: My inteligence is beyond human understanding
I see you too have discovered the secret to life
This right here. Without this I would probably not be playing it either.
yep i discovered it like 2 months ago and i never was tiltless since i muted all these idiots
Then they go suicide in your lane.
I saw this advice all the time. Thought it was weak, just giving up. Played ranked for the first time yesterday and ohhhh boy. I was wrong.
Best tip for league is mute all or uninstall.

This is the problem with any game that gets a huge fanbase.
The more people there are in any fandom, the more toxic it becomes. It’s as inevitable as the sun rising. It’s just the way things work.
How are u everywhere I go... tho I kinda agree, there are toxic people in every game. But some games have a toxic environment and it became acceptable to flame and ruin others people experience and sadly this happens more and more these days...
Any game with competitiveness in it will always have a toxic fanbase
@@thesevenchickensontheroad8209 well if u take into consideration games that arent team base like fighter games, It's a lot less toxic cuz as he sais u can only blame yourself
You again?
every online multiplayer game will have toxicity to some degree because people need something to compensate. if the game is competitive and a rank is behind taht even more so. its like with sports, which have become more and more toxic as well. and the more people join in the more toxicity develops. Although in an online game there would be certain things taht could be done to reduce toxicity by a large margin but Riot doesnt really care tbh. Now especially since League isnt the only thing floating their boat. The balancing became hilariously bad over the last 3-4 years. nobody watches live LEC or LCS , hell the co-streams have more views. if riot doesnt change shit up its pretty doomed my bois. a lot of people o know and i read about are quitting/ about to quit. 70% of my friendlist is gone in the course of this year. Well see if and when how Riot turnes this around.
Me watching this video while queueing for a game,
“The future looks bright.”
That amumu was responsible for someone quitting the game. Imagine...
that amumu deserves a honor.
I mean it's probably been a buildup of a bullshit mountain, but that Amumu has to be a specially bred type of cancer. "Oh look, my teammate is doing well! What to do now? Of course, how could I forget! We INT because nobody is allowed to have a good game on my watch!"
Amumu was the cure. Thanks to him pinoy was free.

@@nagato2k633 Sounds just like my plat 4 demotion game to gold. Had a support main lock in anivia support and literally wall me forward in lane during trades so I couldn't walk back and died. He was gold 2 and lost the past 5 games going 0/7 on average. Needless to say, I haven't played League in 2 weeks since then and if I ever start playing again it'll be strictly in normals or ARAM. Nothing is more demoralizing that being demoted because players are upset at their loses and take it out on their next team like the manchilds they are.
Man. This was literally me last week. Told my friends i'm over the game, done. They joked and said "No one quits league" or "What will we play together?". Literally any game but League. Win or lose it's not even fun anymore. All thanks to the community. Great vid.
Oh, Subbed and now following your twitch :D .
Man I just quit league this week for the same exact reason🤦🏻♂️ this game is a toxic addiction. Never will play it again.
I related so much to the "I looked like a zombie" moment. Its even scary having to remember that I used to be like that about some 20 lp.
Nice video as allways Pinoy! Also Lethal League video hype is real my dude!
I've never related to something so much man. Good for you. Im proud of you for moving on. People dont realize how addicting and heavy that game is. The toxicity genuinely degrades your humanity.

Also also, the persona music in your videos slaps harder than donkey kong down b.

I should unninstall this game when they reworked Aatrox and Akali at almost the same time. When this happened I couldn't enjoy this game anymore. I've been playing Taric in jg, getting plat and make new account over and over with the same sequence. I am unninstalling it right now, Thanks a lot Pinoy! You are going to change my life for better.
It's literally me every time I think about league
The issue is, I keep playing it for only 3 reasons
1 my pc has very bad graphic card and I have no way of changing it, so I have to stay with low req games
2 Diana (seriously, she's the only champ I enjoy both winning and losing with, because even when behind I'm still useful if I make right decisions)
3 for some reason, toxic games are very rare for me. Probably because people understand that if they type too much they waste time :3
Same w the bad PC :'l it's basically the only fun game I can PvP with friends on so I stick with league but I don't play ranked cuz it's cancer

Quitting League when my school re opens. When I play League all I do is get mad and always encounter toxicity even though I don't even say anything. My friends are also toxic when they die they blame the game mechanics instead of themselves. They also insult the enemy for playing their own play style for some reason. So I'm happily quitting league
I am also planning on doing the same
Y’all take it to seriously
I’m doing the same for the end of this summer :/

@@clyddnyl9684 no2 not just the toxicity
Its wasting our time
I feel this so much, been getting back into single player games(currently playing Persona 4 Golden) I've realized I've missed so many great games throughout the years and there are so much coming out. Competitive gaming can really take away the fun of video games sometimes.
The difference in the emotions on Pinoy’s face in the facecam between League and other games is astonishing. Glad to see pinoy happy and smiling.
I been playing League since 2012, never been banned or chat restricted. Its all on you. I have all the patience in the world. And I'm still the same person, in fact, better. I met so many of my amazing friends because of League and idk where I'll be without them.
I understand frustration in League games. But theres no point in raging. I've never raged before, and i see no point in raging.
39 perma bans here :(
You are so right its all about the mental, fuck skill fuck bad teammates you cant control 4 other people but you can learn to make the right decisions. Where did i go wrong or what should i have done. A simple example of this is when you get ganked 3 times in a row so you start blaming your jungler why didnt you come, when in fact you overextend 3 times for 2 caster minions. Point is ego is the biggest problem in the community, i know everything you dont
some people can handle the toxicity of the game itself and others cant. pretty much the same as it is with drugs
I want to call bullshit because there's no way you haven't raged a single time. Playing any game can be fustrating at times, that's a normal part of games. You just shouldnt be raging 24/7. If you really haven't before, then uh, grats?
But yes, if you act badly in game, then it's all your fault.
You are right 100 percent ive raged before ofc but the point of the game is to have fun right, yes its a strategic game that not everyone can understand and master, but its fun learning it right, at least for me
I remember playing Divinity Original Sin one day on a whim, and had so much fun. I had forgotten what fun in a video game was. I quit league then and there.
"The game is fun. If it's not fun, why bother?"

That quote is so terrible and painful to see people still take it to heart.
@@haruhirogrimgar6047
Wait, why?
You're supposed to be having fun playing games, so if you're not having fun, then why bother to continue playing it? Although there are a few exceptions, such as if a game is said by A LOT of people that it gets better later on
Haruhiro Grimgar you have an anime pfp lmao
@@sanstheskeleton679 There are many games that are supposed to invite feelings of fatigue, depression, force uncomfortable contemplation, or even just heartache through a combination of mechanics and story. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is super boring and a slog to play by the halfway point and you are only there to hang out with Roxas's friends. And at the same point in the story that is exactly how Roxas feels, the game is greatly enhanced by becoming a chore to play and only makes you want to play more. Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice and Death Stranding are other examples of games intentionally uncomfortable to play for the purpose of their narrative to great success (and I could talk about them for pages upon pages.)
And even in other games there are segments where they de-power the protagonist/player character. This both makes gameplay less fun, but also supplies a lot of perspective for how far the game and your character has come.
The "Fun-game-only" mentality is disgustingly pervasive among Nintendo games and fans. The medium of gaming shouldn't be restricted to being a Mario game. No story except one that makes you smile once a game, and something where it feels nice to control the character, but nothing past that.
Haruhiro Grimgar I respect that, but really there’s no point in playing a game if you don’t enjoy it. You mentioned how certain games are meant to make you feel certain things, but in the end, did you enjoy how those feelings were delivered? If you did, then you had fun. Even if it was extremely depressing the entire play through, the game was successful in making you feel an emotion, and that can be enjoyable. If you don’t like the emotion it gave you, why bother?
It’s honestly sad how league has normalized toxicity to a point where telling someone to kill them selves is a normal thing that happens in 80% of the games you play
Well it doesnt happen cuz its bannable but if it wasnt it wouldve been more like 100% percent of the games

I'm right there with you. You can only bear an unenjoyable experience for so long before you realize there are better games out there. I guess some people just can't break the addiction cycle.
Some toxic LoL players are even trash talking another moba game for being just simpler!
I will tell you my experience with this game, i started it seriously in 2012 also i was in 8th grade, i was always a really extrovert kid and pretty popular around school, yes i played games since i was a young kid but not to the extent i would play league of legends, when i started it everything seemed nice i would play it on short bursts and it wasn't interfearing with my studies or social life, but then the short bursts started to transform into long gaming hours where i would yell at my family if they even dared to disturb my play time, my grades started going down too, i never was a genius in school but i would say i had above average grades, during this addiction my grades fell to the point where i would pass the courses just barely, my social life was gone also, declining meets with other people, and breaking bonds, when people gave me money as gifts for example on aniversary or christmas i would spend it on league nothing else, eventually i got to 11th grade and quit school because of league of legends, i can tell you that maybe this game gave me 1 year of happiness at most, and ruined more than 6 or 7 years of my life, I have since quit league and i have tried to install it again and try to play a match and after it i uninstall it because the game is so boring to me and just brings bad memories.
Now i am 22 years old and my life is back on track thanks to my family that helped me overcome this, i just have 1.5 years of college left and i will graduate as a mechanical engineer(Automotive sector).
Sorry For the long wall of text but i strongly dont recommend this game to anyone that wants to try it, there are much better games out there, where you will have much more fun and not ruin years of your life
you are 22 years old...you are way to young to say "Destroyed my life" . Your life hasnt even began yet.
Also, the fact that you distant people, its clearly your fault because of the addictions you created to League. This can happen with every game. In my 17s i played Skyrim 24/7. My sleep was 3-4 hours and the next day i had to go to school. Its not Skyrims fault, it was clearly me...What did i gain? Nothing,i just know how to play skyrim and that fantasy part remains in my mind.
League Of Legends its a good game playing with a friend, not the best but its good. Everything you do requires balance in your life, gaming, working, socializing etc.
@@g.kalomiris League is literally designed to be addictive in so many ways just do a little research and don't dismiss this person. I'm an avid gamer and no game has ever come close to destroying my life like this worthless excuse for a game has.
Sure, some people are more prone to addiction, but this game literally targets those people and preys on their weakness. It's predatory and disgusting. This game needs to be boycotted and abolished.

I won't lie, I wasn't here back when you played league, but I was here when you played P5, and I loved that shit. So I don't give a damn why you quit league, just keep playing what makes you damn happy.
AWWWW THANK YOU MY MAN
Same didnt even know that he played the game actively before this and had second hand knowledge from yassuo
Your story is kinda relatable. I stopped feeling happy playing the game as soon as I took the game seriously. I never flamed my friends or anything like you did but, I still ended up in the same situation. It was only after some 16+ loss streak that I realized that I stopped feeling happy when I won and stopped feeling sad when I lost. It used to piss me off when someone fed or afkd and flamed me but I just didn't care.
Instead of quitting LoL, my friends and I just play it in the background as a time waster or as some chat room game. Riot's art and music team are super good but every other department sucks so much. They have the same shitty client riddled with bugs for so long. Each new champion like Sett, Aphelios, Senna, Yuumi etc. has some insane new mechanic that makes them broken (except yone and lilia from what I know) and if they aren't doing good on release, they overbuff them and neglect to nerf them for months. When problems with their game is brought up, they just make a post or announcement that makes empty promises that say they know and are working on it. Like that useless lobby report function that came from voyboy's statement. You can report someone in champ select now! Too bad reporting doesn't do jackshit in the first place!
You pretty much hit the nail on the head man. I get where you're coming from as well with League becoming a social game. It just didn't happen for me due to my fear of getting addicted again.
@@Pinoy. man I am really glad that you met up with moe and life started popping off for you, love brother.

Eh depends. If you mute all, and dodge trolls, it’s not that bad
I have an account since beta days and i can tell you right now that this game ruins lives, you may think i am exagerating but i am not, there are numerous people that will tell you the same, as you as you start noticing your mood changing quit the game and don't come back, don't tell me i didn't warn you
leave while u can
play arams never rank up
Played LoL 2015-2017. I mostly remember getting pissed, and eventually becoming toxic myself. Only fun moments are the games with friends, but even those memories still had toxicity. I haven't delved into multiplayer games as much...
League: *suffers from bad community
Riot: “Let’s nerf some champion by 5 movement speed! Problem solved!!”
And let's buff champion that are already strong when they get a skin!
Riot is not the best at solving problems. But literally anything that has a huge fanbase will have a shit community. Literally put any team based competitive game + huge fanbase and it'll have a bad community 100%
@@LixienXIII Wrong comment, my dude
@@LixienXIII You could not be more wrong. Halo when it was a popular competitive game, Heroes of the storm before Blizzard cancelled it. Hell you could name practically every competitive FPS game and they're all infinitely less toxic than League. Your blanket assumption that "gamers playing together on a team will inherently create a toxic community" is just moronic and has no logic to it. CSGO for example, for as much shit and trolling that happens there is not nearly the degree as League. The person or company that the community is founded on has control over what type of community they want. They have every bit of power to mold the community based on what behaviors they want to tolerate vs what behaviors they want to ban. Riot themselves openly endorses griefing and have publically on many occasions. It was either last year or the prior in which during the pre-season they literally endorsed griefing with showing a diana building 6 IE's and saying "experiment!" in a video they released trying to hype the pre-season.
Now compare that to blizzard, a company who everyone knows just how dogshit they are publically and how terrible their grasp is on balancing and not sucking the fun out of their games. What did blizzard do on several occasions when various pros would get upset at solo Q and grief their teams? They banned those players from competitive play for a year and banned the accounts they were playing on. What did Blizzard do when people would dodge drafts and not care about holding lobbies hostage? They added "silencing" and leaver buster which made you have to play AND win 3-5 normals before you could play ranked again and silencing made it so if you queued up any mode, you'd be put in low priority queue and you'd be matched with mostly other people who were also silenced. For all the horrendous problems that game had and blizzard still has, they actually did things to at least attempt to stomp out any toxic players and streamers/pros/community figures that got "tilted" and griefed games. Even if it was 1 game they would get punished because with how the replay system worked you could save replays locally and thus there was always evidence to upload online.
Riot on the other hand has done literally _NOTHING_ to even address this problem. It took Voyboy, fucking Voyboy, a guy who was effectively the Mr Rogers of League to make a video about what was obvious for YEARS now: League's community was ruining the game and not just in a minor or unimportant way. What did Riot do? They literally just copy+pasted the report function from the post-game lobby into the Draft and said "let's call it a good day's work!" And let me make one thing clear: No one cares about the toxic manlet typing a storm in game chat. We all can mute that person and Riot gives you the ability to disable all forms of in-game chat so if you ever do see flame in-game it's because YOU chose to see it. What we can't mute however is the 0/2 top laner that gets upset because he played lane bad but doesn't want to take personal responsibility for himself and instead spam pings his jungler and literally just AFK perma fights his laner when he's down items and levels already because of his personal mistakes. I CAN'T mute a teammate's griefing like that. I don't care what someone types to me online or over voice chat. I played xbox 360 during the Halo3/CODMW2 days. I know far worse verbal toxicity than League. Riot doesn't care to address this problem because, namely, it isn't a problem that they can monetize. There's no financial gain out of spending weeks and weeks and paying employees thousands of dollars to fix a problem that not only cannot be permanently fixed but also will require a consistent punishment system with a fair amount of manual review. There's also no incentive in doing that as they made this bet years ago that players would continue to complain about actionable toxicity (griefing, inting, holding games hostage, etc.) but they would also continue playing the game even if Riot did nothing because they are addicted. Riot made that bet and it paid off. So all these threats by streamers mean nothing because Riot also is aware of the obvious fact that most of those streamers NEED league as their main source of content for their job as a streamer.
@@YuYuYuna_ ironically you could not be more wrong. R6 Siege, Overwatch, CSGO. All games that have toxicity similar to League. Also TLDR
My man doesnt even play league but hes still carrying moe
you've inspired me to take my first break from league in 2 years. Starting today I'm not going to play for at least 2 months. I've become extremely toxic, something I never was before league.
keep it up man you can do it!
Make sure to have a fun replacement activity while you're at it. Sometimes even if you know you don't want league, you might just end up falling back to it by habit (and it's okay). So it helps to have a new thing to dedicate your time and energy with.
I completely agree on the fighting games part. It's all 1v1. No one to depend on other than yourself. It's also fun as fuck to watch 2 very skilled players duke it out and see who comes out on top. IMO, it's the best pvp experience you'll ever get. There's no luck, teammates, stats, or items involved. It's all on how well you use your character and how well your opponent uses their character.

I question my League motives as well (and I just started playing in march lmaooo) but then I have those games where I hard carry, or our team is behind and we come back, and those very hard fought for games make me happy and motivated. I wish all league games were very close and can go either way, but most of the time the game is decided within 15 minutes. Rarely I have a game go on for longer than 30 mins sadly.

Honestly the game is so fucking addictive, I've only played for like 3 seasons but the thing that always makes me want to play is seeing myself improve. I just love the feeling of climbing the ladder even though it makes me rage and is often quite frustrating. I guess it's just my winner mentality or my strive to be competitive but the game/community really destroys people with toxicity and hate so much so that the players are unbearable. Just glad you were able to quit it.
Yeah me too, I just wish I could quit lol, guess it really is an addiction

I am SO GLAD that I ran into this video. I have stopped playing league of legends on and off after all the countless bad experiences that I've had with the game. This game is NOT fun at all, the only reason why i always come back to it every now and then is because of the feeling that i have put too much time and $$$ on skins. Thanks for helping me realize that that's not a valid reason to continue playing a game, I've finally uninstalled this trash game!
Couldn't agree more with your points especially about the Amumu. In a reverse scenario to your D5 promos out of plat, about 2 weeks ago I was in my demotion game from Plat to Gold. I got a support player who was on a 5 game loss streak and decided to lock in Anivia support with ghost ignite and he would use his wall ability during trades/situations where I wanted to walk back to block me in from retreating and effectively made me feed. After dying twice I just let the enemy bot lane push the wave to my tower to farm but as you guessed it, once he was 6 he'd use his R on the wave to deny me the CS. I lost that game and got demoted down to Gold after spending about a month for the first time in about 2 years of playing League to actually "Tryhard" and focus on self improvement. I climbed from Silver 2 to Plat in 1 month. There was a lot of fun in the grind for Plat (which was my goal) but there was even greater frustration and numbness to the experience. I wasn't exactly like you where you didn't enjoy wins, but every time I'd lose 2+ games in a row I couldn't help but think "God damn it, now I have to play 3+ more games to back to where I started the day just to break even." I came from SC2 to this game and it just shocks me how much the playerbase of this game in particular is vehemently against self improvement and self analysis. In SC2 that was everything because you had no one else to use as an excuse for why you lost. The inherent nature of a 1v1 game forced you to take accountability. League doesn't.
he quit league of legends to become a hentai protagonist
Lool well said, he just took this game personal. It's his own mistake not riots

Yo Where's your Pfp from
What are the odds I find this? Well, I'll tell you that it's Seyana, a vocaloid.
I played Overwatch and CSGO before I started League of Legends. I was never toxic. Actually, I usually tried to make the team less tilted when playing them. Then I got into League. I played it for 3 months seriously after playing it for a year. I would get angry when someone would do poorly, which doesn't seem like that, but I wouldn't get annoyed at all in any other games, so this really changed me. The game is really annoying to play when you tryhard in ranked. People are toxic for no reason. The few matches I carry with a cool play, I get excited, play another match, and get annoyed. I got Gold, and now I only play normals. (Technically just started to weeks ago.) The game is fun, but if you play it through tilt to tryhard, it gets boring. Just enjoy the game and stop flaming all the whole time, especially in normals. I might stop playing completely because even Nexus Blitz and ARAM are toxic.
WOOF U JUST CANT CLIMB NOOB EXDIROFLMAO

@@J420-m8h Lol. Hope this comment was trying to sarcastically be an example of League toxicity and not unironic.
Don't you just love RANKED ARAM?
I started playing LoL in 2019, after my friend, Kos, had introduced me to this game. Both of us were noobs. My friend was playing Jax at the time and I was playing Kayn. At the botlane. We were eventually so bad that we said things like "I DON'T NEED ITEMS I CAN SHRED HIM EASILY". I got addicted to this game and after a long time, I started playing ranked with Kos. We were quite good. Usually I was winning my lane, and so did he. However, everytime he didn't inform me that his enemy was out of lane I became toxic and started yelling at him saying "WHERE IS THE SS MAN". I wish I had never done that... I even spent 110 into LoL... In March of 2020 my account was permanently banned because I called names at two trolling premades. I had no idea how the ban system worked. 1-2 months later Kos' account was banned as well for exposing Riot at the chat. Both of us stopped playing this "game".
The key to keep enjoying League is: have variety in what you play. Don't overplay the game, don't say "I'll go to bed whenever I win", know when to stop, take breaks, and learn from your mistakes AND your teammate's mistakes too. Also have other games that are stress relievers, either PvE shooters, solo games, or strategy ones. Or just do something else. I still enjoy League and I've been playing since Season 3 and never quit until this day.
Of course: Quitting or not doesn't make you better either way though, it's just games lol.
i've dropped league early this year, after 8 years , it's been a big relief
it felt like a damn curse
8:38 ON IS THE TRUEST SHIT I HAVE EVER HEARD. it was so much more fun learning I made new friends we squared up in normals and everything nowadays people only care about ranked and I feel bad about telling someone I am a for fun player. league has definitely changed and not for the better

Good video brother. Im surprised it took you this long to quit league. I started playing begin season 7 and I already gave up on playing league. Stopped enjoying the game at the end of S9 already.
The legend himself, bless you bro. I honestly don't know i kept it up from s2 to s7 or whatever it was. I've been a lot better mentally since I stopped playing the game and after years of just kinda avoiding the topic I felt like I needed to "book end" that part of my life. I hate thinking about how I used to be, but it feels good to finally let people know WHY I always avoided the PINOY PLAY LEAGUE question lol.
I gave up on league in 5 months. My friend was like: " dude wait level 30 then you play ranked thats the fun part!", yeah... no ahhah
Such a great video, everything u said is true. I quit league like 1 month ago for practically the same reasons. The game became way too competitive for me and all I cared about was some goddamn points on a video game( LP) and ranks, despite the fact that they mean practically NOTHING. I had no fun anymore playing the game. The only thing that gave me joy about it was participating tournaments and clashes with my team. They were very fun. But they weren't enough. Most of the time I had to grind and get a good soloq rank, frustrating myself and forced to play with doshit players all the time which just piss me off and ruin my day. If anybody reading this comment is thinking twice about quitting League of Legends, I highly recommend u to not even think about it. Just do it instantly. If u can't uninstall the game, start playing a lot less than u are playing right now. Focus on something else. Once u get busy with something else, u will feel like u have no time to play league anymore. You will also get a new source of dopamine, which will mean a lot more to you than just some numbers on a video game. Good luck out there, I love u
this is so true, league was so much more fun when i didnt know what the fuck was going on and just played the game for playing the game, but when i started to actually learn how the game worked it just stopped being fun. the only fun i have when i play is when i stomp them so hard i start to almost feel sorry for my opponent on how bad they are
you know it’s serious when pinoy is on the stairs
why do I keep coming back to this video
"The league community has normalized toxicity" works for moe...
Man, all the things you mentioned in your video hits right in the kokoro.
i've been a league player since 2012 as well, and have been addicted to the game since then. Chose league over other games since i needed to climb the ranks every season until I got to the point where I'm not enjoying the game anymore, and i guess the continuous stress and frustration from the ranked queues made me stop playing the game.
Been on hiatus now for almost two years and I'm really happy about my decision to quit. I stopped playing competitively for online multiplayer games as well and now just plays these games for the fun of it.
Also, after i stopped playing league, I've had more time for my console games which is hella lot more fun! Hehe
Kudos to you sir! And goodluck on your future endeavors.
My experience is similar to this. I quit playing many mobas and team games and started playing card games, fighting games and such and boy am I glad I did it.
makes me feel lucky for not tryharding all these years, just learned that it's the reason why I haven't burned out yet
ive ttryharded since s3 and here i am. I just take breaks during the school season
Idk i've been playing for a year now and still have fun. Even when i play my main role (support) it always ends up fun to me unless the enemy team is literally 50/0. I also love riot's music, lore and cinematic teams. I am absolutely in love with all the stories and beautiful places from the world of runeterra(plus the characters). yes people flame me once in a while but i forget them within a day. I haven't enjoyed this many things about an online game for a long time but i guess it's just me
I lost my promos and it totally wasn't my fault...
This is exactly why I quit League almost a year ago. I'm just happy playing games I enjoy, and when I don't enjoy a game I quit and move on to the next game
Everytime I have the urge to play league again, I quickly remember all the negative experience i had playing it and that immediately kills the urge to play it again.
This vid reminds me of the old days of me playing League. It is when the map is dark and old, the players are not that toxic (Philippines Server), and Yasuo hasn't been made yet. I really loved the game until a friend of mine introduced to me how to play "competitively" and made me play rank. That's the time everything goes downhill...
An Amumu was the reason why I didnt win my promos to d5 in season 7 too. It was the last game I could play before the season ended and he went afk aswell. Didnt play for two years after that.
Do you miss it? I just got suspended bc of how i trash talk inters or afks. This game has won my heart but I no longer feel like im in the right headspace to play it anymore:( i lost 50 bucks on the game and i hate myself for it.
Me to every player who wanted to play LoL: That’s Hell you’re walking to
Dude this video hit me so hard. I´ve been stugglinf cause i dont find joy in games anymore, and its nice to see that someone has been in the same place. Now i play with all my friends, and just chill with ANY game. Thanks for the video my dude
what he said in 8:38 is so true. learning the game and new champs back in 2014/2015 was so so fun. plus, back when I used to play a lot with friends online and irl friends. these days, after about 5 years I know (on an average level) what I need to do/build in order to win and rlly only enjoy about 5 champs and very rarely any other ones. i dunno man this game was much more fun back then when I was younger as well, now I've dealt with relationships, breakups, family stuff, money stuff, general "future" worries. it's been a lot. but I still play it bc I rlly have nothing else to do in my freetime if none of my friends are at the beach or going out. plus, with the whole corona virus thing it's best to avoid leaving the house, right? idk.. man times are weird. stay safe everyone.
I too have quit league. Haven't touched it in over a year now and I'm glad I did b.c I'm having more fun playing way better games 🎮
League doesnt suck the ppl who play it do and literally everyone is guilty of this
Its weird when people blame the company for the toxicity. Like how can riot control the behaviour of people who should know better
@@finnheisenheim8274 lmao like create a proper ban system for toxic players? Toxicity happens in every game, developers should control that.
@@KtoNeznamo No ban system is perfect and can be easily abused. Didn't you hear what pinoy said about getting blamed for an amumu going afk just because he got a pentakill. The team most definately reported him en masse for that
@@finnheisenheim8274 no it's not♥
@@finnheisenheim8274 because it's their game. You should be able to control your product and those who use it to a certain degree. You can't catch everyone, but you can influence the player base and minimize it. It doesn't help the company has a toxic environment in their own company 🤣
plot twist: the reason he left was because of the second yasuo
I have played 750+ ranked games every season from s6 to s9. this season i played about 40 and came to the realization that if i win i feel nothing, if i lose im upset. I was having 0 fun in ANY game i played and it was like that since s8. It was like an addiction. I had to play league no matter how it made me feel. I quit playing league about 6 months ago and only play TFT now. It is so relaxing and I genuinely have fun playing win or lose. I've never related to a video so much in my life. Thank you Pinoy
THAT STATEMENT "whether I win or lose, I feel nothing" sheesh this is 1000% mee
honestly those players who stay playing league for so long until now they are strong mentally. :D
Or too tilted to quit
@Sam Claus do you know d word sarcasm? haha
thanks man
I played leauge because I like toxicity. When players are not toxic the games get boring for me. I played other games but they aren't as fun because there aren't any trash talking.
Sam Claus league is an unhealthy addiction but it really can’t be compared to drugs lol. That’s on a different level.
the real question is why isn`t everyone quiting league
Slowly we are... but now I'm on valorant.
Because many people still get fun playing the game. Is just a game at the end.
I Quit playing lol for no reason
i still play league with friends but i definitely prefer dota
I think for many people it's an addiction, especially if you're a highly competitive person, and if you've invested years into it. Riot knows it. That's why they invented these side quests/achievements to give yourself a feeling of accomplishment/stay hooked, while they pump out new skins every 2 weeks for you to give them your money.
man I keep having dogsht team, I go ham every game always getting the first blood, buying pink wards, roam like a madman and ping like a robot. BUT I ALWAYS GET DOGSHT TEAM I CaNT CLIMB BACK TO MASTERS AGAIN IM D3 STUCK. if this dont improve ill quit league for real and switch to a pvp game that focus on solo and not team play
I am really grateful to one of my friends for opening my eyes about this subject. I started playing at the end of Season 3 and was able to play ranked at the start of Season 4. My first rank was bronze 5 (lmao) and i was just climbing slowly, next season b1 then silver. At this point i quit because it just made me really frustrated. After 2 years i returned. I got gold and now, this season I am at my peak P2. This happened when i started 1tricking achampion and having a pocket pick. For 4 years of playing ranked, I wouldn't care about playing a role, learning it and becoming better. I just wanted to play. Oh i just bought a new champ. tImE tO tRy It OuT iN rAnKeD. And it would work for 1 game (somehow idk most likely got carried) and then play it again, and again and lose. At one point I would have like 800 games of Ranked AND NOTHING ELSE. To me, normals didn't exist, neither did flex, nor ARAM. I started playing normals in Season 10 with my friend and i started having fun by playing troll shit and just having fun in game and laughing.
TL;DR Was a shit bronze 5 player who would play random champs in ranked, started 1tricking got higher ranked, realised it was boring, started having fun with friends in normals.
Since you put so many Persona 3 songs on the background AND the Jet Set Radio at the end, I'm subscribing and liking. THANK YOU.
i completely quit online gaming, single player games ARE FUN!
Its good someone finally notice the different from 2013 gameplay vs 2020 gameplay in LoL i guess the old is much better than new one cuz the new one has many toxic player and griefer .
It’s less of the game but more of a change in the community.
My favorite part of old league was there really was no set rules on how to play. Sure the community made up the meta and lane roles but Riot encouraging it is what made it worse. Before we could go anywhere and people get annoyed but adapt. Now if you dont go your lane then people quit, feed on purpose, report etc. League is communism.
But the biggest reason Riot encouraged a one set play style is they made it that way. They changed the champs so they can only be strong in one role. They deleted or changed the items so they can only be used for one role. There is basically 1 or maybe 2 ways to play each champ now. Before there were hundreds.
So yeah, I dont like league anymore. Its a play to win game that Riot made "fair". Also how is it fair that Riven can feed my ass on purpose then some how still do damage and survive damage? The game makes no sense anymore.
The dude is right. Win or lose, the game isnt fun anymore. For me, it was more fun playing characters in crazy and un-expecting ways. Not this communist crap.
reasons why i quit in mid 2017
>Cant go to computer shops since my teacher warned us (that was after my computer broke so i had to play at cafes)
>after not playing for soo long i wasnt used to the game and its nee mechanics
>cannot adjust fast
>most of my main heroes like xin zhao was changed and im not used to his new
>lastly i got bored
Not gonna lie I had the exact same feeling with league, after I started playing single player games I felt like i was enjoying my time. I had all these games with amazing stories that I could play instead of league and when I did I loved every second of it. With league and other “online only” games I feel like im wasting my time, and it’s the reason why I don’t play alot of overwatch anymore
Couldn't agree more bro. I still enjoy playing a fighting game or halo/splatoon from time to time, but nothing beats the experience and feelings I get from single player games.
Same man, i have the same feeling i love trying new things but but i started just completely not getting any fun out of league. its just so stressful and its the only game that i really only rage at
Doesn't matter how good you are, if you have someone who afks, feeds, or trolls then you just lose and that's it. League is so trash now and im glad I quit.
yep. unfortunately i am still playing
Bronze 5!?!!!? Bronze 5?!?!? “Gets up and assaults the nearest wall”
Only in murica you can hit a whole into a wall xD
I wanna share my experience as someone who played from late S4 and after years of playing casually decided to play rankeds in S10. Bear with me, it is lengthy.
All of it is basically what you already said, you lose, you win, in the end you feel like a robot. Now, it is easy to say League is toxic and toxicity is very well accepted (because everyone does it, including me), the simple soulution is to just mute somebody, right? Which I totally agree upon, but you know it is really really bad when you just go /mute all on every match just because you already see the typical signs of people getting ready to flame you or your other team mates. I am currently climbing for the first time and for a ''first timer'' I am doing very well (I still mess up a lot) but it really really is frustrating, as a support main, when your carries mess up a lot and make you lose your team. You can buy all the needed supp items to keep a team alive i.e Redemption, Solari. You roam the mid lane and stay at bot, keep two lanes strong and alive, so your jungle can focus on top, you keep the enemies weak or make them lose cs, you tell your team to group up as FIVE and they do the oppossite, you tell them not to fight in a jungle against a cc-heavy team with carries that are superb in close combat and they just do it again. I do not expect to be the highest on the ladder, but after years of hearing about ''elo-hell'' or ''hardstuck'', I finally know what people know by it, undeservily. It is different than when I play a fighting game such as FighterZ, where I know I mess up because I lack experience and practice and I see my deadly mistakes. Another issue is the acceptance of smurfs, like every new friend you make says he/she has a smurf. It ruins rankeds because you are not playing against someone NEAR your rankeds. But once you point it out, people come out with excuses such as ''Yeah, I just do it for fun'' or ''I just have a bad day and want to have it not so hard'' or even worse, when they justify it with ''Well, people learn from losing against someone with better skill. They will benefit from'', it is like saying it is totally fine when a master in Martial arts cripples a child because the child will learn from someone who is better. I really really hate how much it is accepted that people, who finally struggle in a competitive mode, who finally got the rank they belong to and where they can grow, can just make a new account to just have it easier again. And no, I do not feel good when I notice I have a smurf in my team, the win feels undeserved and shitty. Another issue is with the community is the meta, I swear, people always play the same. There are over a hundred champions, tens of runes and keystones, but people always and really always use one way of playing the game (looking at you Klepto Ezreal and GP). People do not main champions, they main metas. I can partially understand them, because Riot really refuses to change things, just look how long Conqueror exists and just look how many champions use, I swear, the cheer amount of times you see this rune, even on champs such as Cassiopeia or Katarina, not just bruisers. And this brings me to my next point, the champions Riot Games is releasing. It is very easy to say a champ is broken, just like to point down a community is toxic, but the last champions, except one or two, are so overloaded. Just look at the amount of dashes, cc, mobility and damage the newest champ, Yone has. Another good example is Senna, a ''support'' who is so overloaded, she can heal and damage a lot. And you know what is the worst? Sure you can bare those champions, but then Riot Games god damn buffs them coincidentally at the same time these champs get skins! Honestly, why should I main something fun like Bard, a champ who needs a lot of skill to be used efficiently, when I can use more and double with half the work when I play a being such as Yuumi or Senna? I can tolerate old champions having their big issues, really, I can even tolerate a Pentakill Machine such as Yi. Because those champions are old, they can serve as an example how to do things wrong, but what Riot does is just using these champions as an inspiration. Honestly, why should the community even think about changing, when Riot really delays or refuses to do good change. And no, I do not hate everything about Riot Games, I do like this Season the most actually, but all those good things that I like feel so futile when I just see new releases such as Yone. And when that is not enough, Riot just nerfs or buffs champions all based on Pro-play. Not the solo-queue, just role-play. So the fun champion you learned the whole time, trying to master it because he/she needs a lot of skill and are very unpopular, yeah they got nerfed because >1% of players abuse him to death i.e Release-Ivern and Release-Aurelion Sol.
TL;DR After 6 years decided to play rankeds. Wins and loses make me feel like a robot. Community made me /mute all every match. You giving your best as a supp main, help other lanes and buy the right items are meaniningless because of carries deciding to not coordinate and communicate. The normalisation of smurfing and even justifying it with pity excuses. People do not main champs, they main metas. Riot is very slacking into fixing or removing things i.e Conqueror ruin. The newest champs are really really overloaded i.e Yone, Senna and they get even buffed when they get a skin. All the good things Riot Games does are pretty great but become futile with new releases such as Yone. Riot cares only about Pro-play and buffs and nerfs champions accordingly, even when it means it could damage solo-queue.
I started playing league last year and after going on the ranked grind for the first season. Now i realise that normals and chill while following the pro scene is the best league experience.
Ngl I needed this. I’ve been looking CONSTANTLY for a reason to quit league. This was it. Literally every point you made, I feel. Not worth it. Thanks man. I don’t watch Moe videos cause he’s as toxic as the rest and it’s annoying but for real, I’ll be watchin your stuff. Cheers. And thanks
