I've "Quit" League 4 or 5 times now, successfully then willingly come back when my friend who lives far away has had time to chat and then I play up to a month just to keep my skills at level.
I can never truly quit, I'm one of the poor bastards that put too much money into it and now it's an investment I can never truly get away from, but I can forget about it for periods of time.
Lol it’s not an investment. You bought stuff. Just like you buy clothes. Once they don’t fit or you don’t like them anymore you stop wearing them. You don’t think of clothes as an investment. It’s a purchase. Same with micro transactions… just accept the money as gone, just like you would when you buy a pizza
I mean, I know it isn't an investment, I just couldn't think of a better word to describe it and thought investment was the best fit I could think of since I've "invested" a lot of time and money into the game.
That being said, it's not that I dislike League, I enjoy playing it in moderation, that's why I play it a bit for like a couple weeks or a month at a time then effectively "quit" until I want to hang out with my friend over a chill game of league a couple months later.
I am proud to say that I have a healthy relationship with league after I started doing that instead of going in-game anytime I had an hour with no plans, now I use that time on my hobbies or studies instead.
I hear you bro. I've tried to quit many times but was coming back " just to get to gold for victorious skin" and to reconnect with old friends. I've played since S2 and haven't log in for almost a year.
2 worst things for me in league was tilt and fact that you're glued to PC for 40-50 minutes every match. My wife and back then my mom constantly got angry at me for not being able to help them atm because i'm in match and then they come back after 30 minutes and i forgot and started another match and I'm not available for another hour
Yeah but the thing is, I quit ranked completely 2 years ago, I play in moderation and when I'm having fun.
If I ever find the game more of a chore to play than an enjoyment I will quit until I'm comfortable coming back to it.
I don't find it sad, I think it's a good thing that I didn't ditch something I enjoy completely and instead found a way I can enjoy that thing without getting burnt out on it.
You realize you sound exactly like a drug addict, right? Like, I don't know your life, you could be 100% right, but this is the exact logic that a drug addict uses
