(2019) If League isn't fun anymore, take a break. Seriously. Try it.

I unintentionally did, and I regret nothing.

Granted, I've never been one of the "tilted every game, season X is trash, League is awful" players, but I found myself having less fun with the game in the past few months than previously. I tilted every few games, and I slowly stopped deriving enjoyment from losses.

Around that time, my university semester got crazy and I got really busy with my internship, so I pretty much stopped having enough free time to play League. I didn't play a single game for about a month and a half, although I still kept up to date on the game and watched my favourite LoLtubers every few days.

I graduated two weeks ago and started working full time. I started playing 3-4 games of League a day again. And I'm having so much fun. Tilted people make me chuckle. We can be losing hard as hell and I don't even care because I'm just so happy to be playing the game I love and reconnecting with the champions I have posters of on my walls.

You guys, it's normal to be burnt out of a game sometimes. It's been out nearly ten years. If you've been playing it as your main game for at least a few years, burning out is to be expected. That doesn't mean you have to pick between staying aboard the train-wreck or quitting the game forever. You can take a few weeks of break and, when you come back, it might be just like it was when you first started playing.

Take some time to play a single-player game you've been meaning to finish for a while. Go to your local library and pick up a book that speaks to you. Heck, pick up knitting! Do something else for a bit, and you might come to realize just how much you enjoy League of Legends.

Come back to us stronger than ever.

You deserve it.

I basically stopped playing for 4 and a half years (I'll admit to playing a few, but 10 games a year doesn't count!) and now I'm playing hardcore again and having a wonderful time. I was completely burnt out and hated the game prior. Although, it's quite frustrating to be Diamond 4 when I was consistently top 400 back in the day. I'll fix that though with my rediscovered love of the game!

aren't you taht warwick top player?

So much love for this post man, preaching the truth

Rioters also take a break every once in a while. I stopped for like a year. Back now as a Kled top main and having fun again
