The most fun I've ever had in LoL.

Quite a long time ago I used to play League of Legends pretty seriously. I tried hard to win, and would get angry if I died or lost a game. I eventually decided to quit playing because I was tired of raging, as well as was tired of the general hostility I experienced from other players in the game. I realized I wasn't having all that much fun. So I started a new philosophy, only play a game if you are having fun doing so.

Eventually over time I started to miss LoL, and would play a game here and there. However I kept with my philosophy and didn't play seriously. I picked whichever champion I felt like playing, ignored any meta and just played for fun. This often caused issues with teammates who were playing to win. I often ran into people that were rude, bossy, trolling, etc. It was still a bit stressful, and I lost often as I was never that great at LoL.

More recently though I've still had a desire to play LoL, just to enjoy playing around with a champion for fun. I didn't want to deal with the usual hassle that comes with a pvp match, so I decided to play against bots in the beginner setting. The games were easy and stress free, I was able to relax and just enjoy the game. I was able to try out all sorts of various champions I was inexperienced with, and discovered which ones I liked.

As for my fellow teammates, they were usually a pretty friendly sort. It was all very casual and no one cared if I screwed up. I got to meet a lot of newer players, they were often surprised they were teamed with a level thirty. I became friends with one of the newbies and we now team up often. I was telling them the other day that "This is the most fun in LoL I've had in..." and I realized that this is the most fun I've ever had in LoL.
