league players do not even want to have fun
I have played League for years and I honestly cannot remember the last time I opened ranked because I expected joy.
I queue because I lost the previous one and need to get the LP back. Then I win and queue because maybe I can get one more. This is not a hobby, this is a broken vending machine I keep shaking.
Every match starts with somebody checking profiles. Our autofilled jungler has a bad win rate. Mid picked an off-meta champ. Support did not swap pick order. The game has not loaded and we already found three reasons to hate each other.
Then one invade goes wrong and the surrender vote appears on cooldown like a pop-up ad.
I used to blame teammates for being hardstuck. Still do when I am mad. Truth is I tilt queue, change roles after two losses, first-time champions because I saw one good clip, and type when I should be farming.
My mechanics are fine enough for my rank. My brain is the inter.
The stupid part is I still love a close game. The five second silence before an Elder fight. Tracking the enemy flash. Winning because our support landed one hook after missing twelve. Nothing else hits the same.
So yes the game is terrible. See you tomorrow.
