After this game I'll quit playing for some months at a time. Sound familiar? It's the game that makes the most knowledgeable people jokingly say "Play Dota instead," even if they never have. It's a game they will vehemently speak of yet continue to support. And strangely, it's a game most people at some point return to because they can't bring themselves to let it go. From the terrible community to the sometimes outrageous changes, League sits upon an iron throne.
I can't get too upset at Riot Games for the toxicity of the fanbase, especially since they've continually tried to improve up on it, but I can try and help others by explaining the reasons they can't quit.
No, you're not losing your mind. The perfect League -specifc insult you will ever hear is saying someone is in Bronze, the lowest ranked division you can place in. While it may not be a big deal to be in a lower ranked division, the League community has become a hivemind about it. Some don't even realize that the majority of the fanbase is actually in Bronze. Ranked divisions are set up in tiers of jewel importance - Bronze sounds dull next to Silver, and Silver sounds dull next to Gold.
It's a psychological system that makes people feel inadequate so that they can always strive to be better. But only small percentage of the population is in Gold and up. For many who are unable to dedicate all their time and energy to League of Legends , it's a fruitless endeavor that always barely is out of reach.
The scary thing is that if they play enough games, even if their skill level is not entirely in Gold, they can still obtain it through sheer will. This never-ending cycle of trying to be "better" than average creates a frustrated community who are in reality stuck in the same spot, but all believe they should be higher. Even if someone is in Bronze or Silver, the insult of "Bronzie" is a popular go-to because they mentally believe their placement isn't their fault. They will cite how they were higher last season, how they're only here because of trolls, how they're not even using their main, how their champions got nerfed, how they play with higher-ELO friends, and everything under the sun as an excuse.
The culture of "everyone on my team except me is terrible," makes people try again in the hopes that their "team will be better this time. Violence is something heavily featured in video games and also something that I personally do not think growing teenagers should be experiencing so heavily. When someone is playing within a virtual world where they can kill without consequence as an emotionless all-powerful controller, or even more, someone who feels excitement and accomplishment when they kill someone else, that has unconscious effects on how that person then feels toward these things in a non-virtual world.
Video games, like most outlets of entertainment, are focused around pleasure. Humans have natural desires for power, freedom and certain abilities and video games can give you all that. Creating an avatar that encompasses everything you may want for yourself, a thinner fitter body, great physical abilities, maybe even magical powers, is part of how the game designer gets you hooked. In a game like Fortnite you can play with your friends, creating a group that can take down other teams in order to win.
What does it mean when people start carrying what they learn in video games into the real world? I cannot say I am going to become a video game fanatic anytime soon, but video games are not going away, despite movements like Moms Against Gaming.

There's loads of reasons to hate - almost as many as people hating. It's a highly divisive game, and the reviews show this. Last edited by Alun1 ; 19 Jul, pm. They wanted more, so they backlashed about that. We had to end when we did, because what the show was really good at was breaking preconceived notions: Villains became heroes, and heroes became villains.
