So You Want to Quit League? Welcome to the Support Group That Isn't Really Support (But We Got Memes)
Ah, League of Legends. The game we love, the game we hate, the game that somehow manages to swallow hours of our lives whole and leave us feeling both exhilarated and emotionally hollow. But hey, at least you got that sweet mastery emote, right?
Look, we've all been there. You queue up for "just one more game" and somehow find yourself staring at the sunrise questioning your life choices. Fear not, fellow Summoner! There is a way out of the emotional rollercoaster that is League. Here's your not-so-scientific guide to quitting League of Legends (emphasis on the "not-so-scientific").
Step 1: Acceptance
The first step is admitting you have a problem. Deny it all you want, but those 3 AM solo queue adventures speak for themselves. Think about it this way: is League bringing you more joy or existential dread? Be honest. Brutally honest. This is a judgement-free zone (except for Yasuo mains, those guys are menace).
Step 2: Marie Kondo Your League Life
You wouldn't keep a pile of clothes you never wear, would you? Then why keep that League account collecting virtual dust? Here's your dismantling checklist:
- Uninstall the Game: Yes, I know, this feels drastic. But think of it like ripping off a bandaid. Quick and (relatively) painless.
- Unfollow the Subreddits: Out of sight, out of mind. No more watching montages of champions you can't play or reading patch notes that make you want to cry.
- Mute Those League Streamers: We get it, Tyler1 is hilarious. But trust me, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life right now.
Step 3: Find Your New Grind
Let's face it, League filled a void in your life. Now it's time to find something a little less, well, soul-crushing. Here's some inspiration:
- Try a Single-Player Game: Rediscover the joy of a story that doesn't involve flaming your jungler.
- Pick Up a New Hobby: Learn to knit a giant League champion plushie (therapy not included).
- Reconnect with the Outside World: Remember that sunshine and stuff? It's pretty great.
Step 4: The Struggle is Real (But It Gets Easier, Probably)
You might have cravings. You might find yourself absentmindedly humming the champion select theme. That's okay! We all have relapses. Just remember why you quit in the first place and high-five yourself for making a positive change.
Remember: Leaving League doesn't mean you have to abandon your friends entirely. There's a whole world of games (and activities that don't involve yelling at strangers) out there waiting to be explored. You might even find something you enjoy more!
P.S. If you see us posting about the new champion being totally broken, well, we're all human (or at least most of us). Don't judge us too harshly.
