If you've ever played league of legends, you'd know that about half your games, you just get ragers or bad games.

Sometimes and these things happen quite frequently, you get leavers, lag (some people get this), ragers, and it just isn't fun to play with any of these things. It's just that when you have 5 people on your team you're bound to have at least one prick.

Most games are over by the 20 minute mark. It's just that the game continues for ten more minutes as one team gets a larger and larger advantage off of jungle farm, barons, towers, and dragons.

Then there's the fact that the game does not have enough communication, so games will often be lost by one little mistake, either your own or one of your 4 allies. If one ally gets caught, then that could mean that your team loses two turrets and an inhibitor or a baron.

There will always be people who are off farming when they really shouldn't be, leading to a 4 man group losing to a 5 man group when a member gets caught and then losing the game. And in cases where this doesn't happen, a really farmed champion can sometimes carry their team.

There are games where people are well mannered and don't scream at each other. Where no one leaves, and the game lasts longer than thirty minutes without a decisive winner. These are really the exception now.

Even when I play with my friends I can tell that one of my friends is raging. He single-handedly makes the game suck. It's just become... not fun anymore. The net fun of all the games you play... is at most 0. We play ARAM almost exclusively and even this is ruined by competitiveness.


The worst part is that I still want to play. Even though there is no build that I want to try right now.


When did the fun go away, Spongebob?
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]

It went away when you started playing it all day and all night, skipping school and neglecting your personal health and obligations.


These games. I addict to them. I want them. I must be such a messed up individual. It's not hard to make a bridge and see that an addiction to starcraft wouldn't be hard to achieve either. I don't want that. Even though starcraft is a better game, where you never raged... (I still don't rage in LoL just get frustrated), where you have fun, I don't think I should play it. I'm done with playing these games for the rest of the semester. That's it. Done.

Go ahead. Tell me I'll be back in a week.
</rant>

edit: this probably could have gone in the shikyo QQ thread.

edit: feb/4 It hurts so much not to play... I want to see what minion armor is.. and to make videos.. and put them on youtube... and jungle more twitch... and lane teemo vs classical bot lanes QQ

edit: fuck I did play again. Seriously though I do have a lot of work to do and while I do spend time on TL it's nothing compared to the time I'd game. w.e commitment back on.

edit: I feel like such utter shit today. I just want to play a few hours to escape it. But I shouldn't.

edit: disappointed myself this reading week and first two days of school. Didn't go and missed a lab. :c

"Going ahead. Telling you you'll be back in a week."

It is true, games are addictive, they are made to be that way. Strange one still goes bored with them from time to time.

Thanks for the support everyone. TL community 2 gud :D

It's a relief to just say this, and to get these brief responses. Makes me feel I'll never truly leave TL or starcraft BW/2+ for good.

Maybe there is some fun ~ but again it's balanced by grief.

Not many games are fun until you find someone to play with or until you meet people online. Taking the time to make a friend is the best and most addicting way to get hooked onto an online game, be it bw, sc2 or lol.

I got into this game cuz it was fun to play with friends. It's just not enough for me to just play with them. I often want to play on my own when they aren't online.

Haha, I see.

If this is mostly from ranked.
+ Show Spoiler +
If you don't want to rant then I don't think you should be playing ranked. Really, thats where most of your rage comes from, isn't it? The fear of losing ELO and being angered by the bad teammates for losing your points.


Riot has already addressed theres an issue with snowballing and not being able to beat the team that has even a small lead. Hopefully, they'll fix it in the unforeseeable future.

You need thick skins to play a team based games, all MOBA in general. I've played HoN for like less than a week and I quit from the intense rage, believe it or not, its much worse than the LoL community. This also goes for DotA, compared to dota back in the day you can call the majority of the LoL community friendly.

I'll see you on the LoL forums again :T

I felt that I just got mad at everything, because everyone u play with doesn't know proper English and you just loose more and more ELO score. I just decided to just remove it from my PC. I had about 650 wins in normal and 200 wins in ranked. Then the Russians and Polish people started playing and that when it became REALLY bad... because sersly, they can't play for shit.

I only play LoL in groups of 4 or full team. That said I only do it to take a few hours away from sc2 to get rid of a bit of stress. It works really well for me even when I lose its normally not a huge deal. Get friends who are decent at the game to play with you!

Go into the games expecting your team to be retarded, that is very likely the case anyways. Then when you lose you don't really have to care but if you actually win and your teammates weren't retarded then you can be happy and surprised.

If you play normals you really can't expect anything although the sad thing is in ranked there are way too many trolls too. Basically just focus on playing as good as you can and don't worry about winning or losing since either way you did your best and since it is a team game you can't really do all that much if you play with 4 retarded monkeys.

the matchmaking can be pretty stupid sometimes.

I just tried to play a game and I queued up with "Imbannedlolz" and he just intentionally fed and then stood AFK the whole game.
