If you guys didn’t know, I have quit League of Legends, the “#1 game in America” I feel over the 3 years I have been playing it, it has done nothing good to me, maybe made me a couple of good friends, allowed me to get closer, but all of these could have been done without League. I quit because it was controlling my life in a negative way more than it has been positive.

-League has made more enemies than my friends, its ever-growing toxic community has been ruining and hardening our hearts to adapt into this atmosphere of negativity. It has mad such a negative change, I would take this negativity in real life expressing it to my friends and even to my own parents.

-I absolutely hate this “rank labeling” created by League, I admit I have done this too. Calling people “bronze” might be a joke but it makes a lasting effect that turns into insult after insult. I have a couple of friends that still this day labels each other by their skill in this game rather than the other qualities that a person is gifted too. This destroys friendships, and I have firsthand seen that in my life.

-It wasted my time and provided me a false sense of security when I played this game. It took time from my studying time and also I hated being dragged out of a game by my parents once I have started a match.

-It has been a complete obstacle and my challenge to get to quit this game because I knew this game was preventing my fellowship with God and growth. This was my worldly desire that God was calling me to get over and this summer I have finally answered his calling.
I am not saying playing this game is a bad thing, but encourage people to open their eyes about their addictions and how damaging it can get if it goes too far. Whether it be fame, money, school, girls, any addictions, I am writing this as a warning of how damaging addictions can really be.
