    Thought it was well known the reddit league mods had some sort of connection to riot (even some being riot employees?)

      Same here. Both turned into gigantic assholes and ditched me because I was a lower rank than them and got fun out of playing off meta champions.

      I wish 1v1 MOBAs were a thing, because the worst part about playing League, Dota, Smite, etc is the community.

      Oof. I’m in the exact opposite boat. I’ve made a dozen friends from playing the game. I’ve been playing since season 2.

        No they became super addicted to the game.

        They neglect their families and friends because of the game

            Addiction, compulsion, whatever you want to call it, it’s well known a lot of games have mechanics intended to keep people playing a long time, and for some it can be a serious problem. I’ve had friends (yes, more than one) addicted to MMOs who would play for 48+ hours literally non-stop. That’s not healthy, especially if real life responsibilities and connections are being neglected for it. Skinner box mechanics can be as bad for players as loot box mechanics.

            They wouldn’t act like this, if this stupid game wouldn’t exist. They never neglected other people, this started with them playing lol. I tried playing with them, but they kept insulting me for dying and even started a kick vote against me the last time I played with them. This game changed them and destroyed our friendship.

              People with an addictive personality will find an addiction, self control must be experienced and learned, and you can’t blame a game for this.

                this is utterly bullshit. Everybody can get addicted to something, this has nothing to do with the personality. The game changed them, they were never like this.

                  You have a very biased and immature mindset towards the situation tbh and I can’t really waste any more time on this, but blaming the game for your friends not being nice to you anymore is just not realistic
