User blog comment:YourPrivateNightmare/Reasons to quit this game/@comment-24896347-20150926142215

Personally. I only play the game with my friends at this point. Its always fun having a salt fest together and complaining about a single champion that we go up against. Its fun just playing some matches, but I will never play alone. I'm only gold 5 currently with a 60.2% win ratio out of 168 games, but I haven't played ranked in 3 months. Ranked to me is just not fun, too much flame and I cannot be stuffed with it, im gonna be going back into ranked another time.

The main reason I don't like this game is the community. Whenever I see "gg, surrender at 20" or "Report (insert champion name here) for feeding" I have the sudden urge to stop playing for the entire day. If my friends didn't play this game, I would have quit a long long time ago. Like I only play normals, and even there you will find flamers, afk's and babyragers or salty mofos. Like, its a normals, it counts to nothing but they still rage. I will never forget taking AP Tryndamere into a normals once into Renekton and feeding the Renekton to death. This was like 1 and a half years ago back when I first started playing the game, I was only about lv25 and I went up against Renekton with full runes and who was gold 5. This Akali at mid flamed me for a straight 25 minutes till we surrendered, they said Ap Tryndamere is shit and that I should go uninstall and commit suicide. Instead of taking it personally, I made it a meme with my friends.

Do I still enjoy this game as much as I did when I started playing?

I enjoy it more because I can dominate games all the time and teach my friend, since he wants to climb the ranks, its always fun teaching him about the game.

Do I still have fun playing my favourite champion or do I play just to win?

I still have fun playing good ol Darius, it gives me joy seeing everyone complain. Play to win? Not anymore, I play just to pass the time nowadays and have some fun.

Do I still get satisfaction out of doing well other than the relief of not being the reason your team is losing?

I just get satisfaction out of doing well and relief at the same time so no one has a reason to flame me.

Do I really want to queue up for another game even if I don't get any excitement or joy out of the anticipation?

I only queue up for another game if my friend is up for it, if he isn't, then I go off.

Can I really keep calm and play the game in a community as tainted as this?

I never really pay attention to flamers. However, an afk or an intentional feeder is the thing which I really cannot keep calm about. I remember calling an intentional feeder a pile of shit mother****** who has a mental disability and should be reported to a mental institution like the dumb **** he was.

I have a question for you though, would you come back to the game if mostly some of these things that made you quit were addressed abd improved to make the game more enjoyable?
