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 +
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.
|
What level are you and how many games have you played?
|
Get premade and WIN. The game is kinda dull without friends.
|
|
|
you'll be back at it tommorow~_~
|
All team games suck with pubbies, not just LoL.
|
pubbing w/ randoms is never fun. just hit the "find match" button in sc2, get your passion restored.!
|
I quit LoL too, and I even uninstalled it. now its just bw again, and never looked back.
|
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.
|
Just do what I do play with 4 other people and ur good
|
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!
|
It's probably not what you wan to hear, but if you're any good you can carry at the level you're playing at.
|
Play Dota
Then see how you rage
*evil smile*
|
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.
|
I find MOBA games to have particularly socially inept people. people LOVE to tell you what to do, where to go, and suicide themselves while typing to you.
Basically any unranked match will be horrible, I recently picked up the game and played maybe ~20 matches or so. To me it seems like the game is basically not worth playing without a) buying a super hero (why the hell did they make 3 levels of heroes) and b) bringing friends who wont act like total doucheknobs
|
Pretty much why I gave up on playing team games a long time ago.
Although I have trouble focusing and taking things seriously when there are other people on my team in general - I either goof around (with friends), or simply don't care and just mindlessly spam clicks / keyboard (with random people). The only way for me to be competitive is in 1v1 games / modes.
I attract so much hate/rage in LoL when I play (it's actually mostly justified, but it's just a brainless timeburner game for me).

@OP: Just go play on the Korea server, man.
|
You should try dota. Let's see how far you can go without raging
But to be fair, at least in dota, games are usually not over by the 20 minute mark.
|
I don't play any Moba game without at least 2 other people that I am friends with for this very reason. If we win, yay, and if we lose it was because we did something incredibly stupid for funsies.
|
For the same reason, I haven't been really able to get into any of the major MOBA titles. Games like LoL, DOTA (1/2) and HoN just seems to have a particular theme in which your team's ability to win a match can pretty much easily be compromised by just one player being less aware/skilled etc compared to the other which leads to ALOT of bad manners. Players just don't want to spend 2-3mins queuing for a game that can be thrown away due to some other random player.
|
dota is like 10 times much harsh than lol is and ever will be.
you can get way behind at the very start by not able to deny creep/last hit because the lane lineup or partner isn't good.
You can't spam spell as easily as Lol can etc
Dota also doesn't even have any ranking system, you are just hoping the good player is on your team, the game most often would turn to: the team with the good player usually either win straight, or just he carries the whole team while the other team tries their hardest to stop that one player
still, it has its fun, also extremely addictive
|
LoL is an absolutely terrible game anyways, so I'm not sure why you're playing it in the first place...
At least HoN and DotA had some semblance of skill, though the problems you've pointed out persist across games. It's a genre issue, I think. The problem is that the games are designed such that you need everyone to work together to win fights, and one person can't actually carry a group of idiots who actively ignore you and feed.
Compare that to counterstrike where if you pug'd at least you stood a chance to carry the team by yourself with good shots.
The way I see it, MoBAs are like playing basketball where one kid is standing around picking his nose the whole game. Wouldn't you want to punch that idiot in the face? You can see why it makes people rage so hard now, I hope.
Anyways, I quit HoN (and I was playing at very high level) about 2 months ago and I don't really care to go back. I don't think I'll play DotA2 either. It's just a horribly frustrating experience and not worth my time.
|
You really can't take LoL pub games seriously. I just use normals for trolling or trying out free champions. If you find a group and only play when your group is on, you'll find LoL a lot more fun, and won't take too much of your time either.
|
Are moba games even competitive? I always see them one sided, where one small mistake after small mistake just snowballs and then there's no chance of even a slight comeback for the team.
|
I only play LoL with my friends/cousins because I always get matched up with feeders/ragers xD
I play for fun anyways :0 only competitive in sc2 <3
|
you'll be back playing in a few minutes
