So you want to uninstall League of Legends? Let's Break Up (with your PC)
Ah, League of Legends. The game that brings people together... to argue about who stole their jungle farm. But hey, maybe it's time to call it quits. Maybe the allure of those sweet, sweet champion skins just isn't enough anymore. Maybe your teammates keep blaming you for their downfalls (it's never your fault, by the way). Whatever the reason, you're here, ready to uninstall and reclaim your PC from the clutches of the Rift.
But wait! Before you click that uninstall button with the fury of a thousand ping spikes, consider this: are you sure you don't want to channel your frustrations into a glorious montage of your best outplays? No? Okay, moving on.
