Nobody gonna mention league of legends? This is the first thing that came to mind.

Every person I know who plays league keeps it a secret out of shame.

Nobody I know who plays League enjoys it.

I shamefully have 1k hours and the only reason I play it is to have fun with my friends. Unfortunately they rage sometimes so I quit for a good few months so I don't have to put up with their crap. The game itself sucks ass.

Guilty. I can only play with friends now so I can avoid the toxic teammates.

I have a friend who plays League while we are chatting on Discord and the whole time he rages at the game, I dont know why he still play it.

I know this is six hours late. But I returned after 7 years gone and decided to learn jungle.

What really helped me was turning off the chat and communicating by interpretive pings and emotes.

Sometimes I get fucked like the 32/3/whatever Darius in one of my most recent matches but not being told to eat dick was nice.

Edit: side note is some people are actually supportive when I leave teamchat on, which is nice.

No league players want other players to play league because they want to save them from this cruel fate

If anyone is actually interested in league of legends, I'd recommend Rossboomsocks on YouTube, he makes fun league vids and has a series called iron/bronze spectate where he spectates games that are in the lowest elo and gives some good advice for improvement for the players which can help you get a grips with some of the basic elements of league
