Because of guesting (invite people to be temporary 24hour guild members without losing their actual guild affiliation) you'd end up with teams of like 4 actual guildies (minimum required) and 4 of another, or like 4 actual 1 1 1 1 and like the same 20 people just playing on whichever tag had 4 guildies on at once, that sort of thing. But then when you have like two guilds with 4 you'd end up with one guild (or set of people) being butthurt over being out-chosen, and then certain guilds preferring people not-in-the-guild over guildmembers because of superior skill etc.

Well, it's really perfectly normal to rage, just don't do it in front of people IRL. They'll think your addicted and they'll do their best to pull you away. It's really fine.Also I find that yeah it's a lot more rage brewing in team games especially when your team just sucks. Like the skill difference is retardedly huge and you team basically doesn't know how to play, and only you do. In the end you just get really pissed off because you lost. I know how you feel. Either way just do your best to have fun, don't care about winning or losing. That's really all. Just have fun.
I have an announcement to make, "Moo!" That is all.

I never played LoL seriously but I also uninstalled a few days ago. There's a long list of things I've never liked about the game (in hindsight I really wish I'd chosen HoN) but I tolerated because it was fun. Now, it's not so fun, and after my pathetic grades last semester something's gotta give.

I'm done with these games

I agree, it becomes such a strain to "stay on top of things" and I'm just not willing to go all-in anymore. There're some people that can find fun in the game regardless (like Shake) but I just can't do it. I can't I can't I can't and trying to play the game just pisses me off now, with very rare circumstances (like when I'm just trying to give a Kassadin show).
haha. i know just how you feel. i tried to calm down after WCG (when Marcou made me rage on a daily basis) but i just couldn't. i had to get 1 rank higher in ladder, i had to tryhard duo with Tree and Loco. i had to prove that i was #1 KATARINA/CHOGATH, that my nidalee was one of the very best solos in the whole damn world.

then there's all the drama- knaan retiring, friends being banned for hackedshotgg, raging more and more at RIOT, koreans all hating each other, arguing who's good and who's bad and why i'm better, all the shit-talking involved, preseason high Elo elitism, etc etc.

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, it's all over now and i have so much more free time it's crazy. i won't lie and say i don't occasionally miss the e-peen boost once in a while. i mean no feeling is greater than to know that you are part of the elite, to be accepted into a fraternity where you know every other member simply because they are good, to know that anyone can claim they are good but its actually true when you say it, to be recognized and feared by people you don't know and have never met before.
