'''Do I still enjoy this game as much as I did when I started playing? ''' I would say no... but for entirely different reasons.

Due to my studies early this year, I literally have no played a single game until May. And by the time the May semester started... I kinda lost the passion to play the game since I felt like I'm way behind the times. It's September now and I still have not played any LoL games.

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

Honestly, I don't know, because above. But prior to this year's neglect I enjoying playing what I want to play. Curiously, what does this have to do with you getting fed up with the game?

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

I'd say yes. If I lose, I blame myself first.

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

This is a rather biased and pessimistic question with the assumption that you will not get any excitement or joy for 100% of your games.

Can I really keep calm and play the game in a community as tainted as this? The community is already tainted since Season 1. Are we talking about a toxic community, or are we talking about Riot's way of handling the toxicity?

What I have learnt from the Touhou community is this - You are free to leave the community when you have lost the passion for it, there's no reason to sit on the fence. If you still like it, stay around and mingle. If you have stopped liking it, then nobody can stop you, just make your resolve.

This should apply in LoL. If you have really stopped enjoying LoL (or any other game for the matter), move on and reincarnate. Don't sit around feeling bad about it like some vengeful wild ghost prowling around.

As for LoL becoming "stale", one wonders why DotA isn't stale when it makes updates like, every 4 months. (lol)
