While I love League of Legends it is one of my favorite games it can completely break a man down into a babbling depressed fool. Anyone else on tilt please post and we can wallow in our self pity together. 

I tried it, but I couldn't get into it.

I've had roommates that play it, and they've scared me enough to where I never want to play it, let alone play it with someone.

One of them would scream insanely loud if someone took his kill away, and would resort to actually throwing stuff, hitting his computer screen, or beating his keyboard because he lost.  He went through I want to say 4 different computer screens because he ruined them from his incessant tantrums, and a couple of keyboards as well.

The other was more quiet with swears, but he's gone through having to replace his phone multiple times because he's thrown it at the wall whenever he gets incredibly frustrated with the game.

I've heard of many others similar in that regard, so I stay away from it.  If you're having that much of an issue with a game, then it's not even fun anymore.  That's like playing Candyland and you pull ahead of someone, and they reach out and forcibly push/throw the pieces out of the way because they hate losing.

In the end, it's just a game.  If you're seriously getting that pissed off over something completely virtual, then it's not worth playing it.  So I stick to games that I know I'll actually enjoy, rather than have it soured by other people of all types.

Those sort are exactly of people that cause me not to want to play.

I'm pretty shy playing with strangers in a game to start with, but I'm just not going to accept being berated because I 'stole' a teammate's kill or because I'm not doing things to another person's satisfaction. To me that defeats the entire point of being in a team and just isn't fun at all. And it's not always just strangers...I was first introduced to the game on a website for gay nerds, and after only playing a game or two I was invited to play a game with the site owner and some of his friends cause I happened to be around. By the end of the game this person was SCREAMING orders at me through Skype constantly, and it just wasn't any fun. It seems to attract a lot of people that would rather win than have fun, actually...

In fairness, I have played when we could get together 4 or 5 friends to make up most if not a whole team, and I had a much funner experience there...it's rare that that happens though.

Well essentially it's the same reason I stay away from Call of Duty or multiplayer areas of Halo or the like...because you're more likely to hear people in your own team screaming and cursing at you than actually being...well, a team. Everyone's a diva that has to get the most kills/wins above everyone else in their team, and if you hinder that, you get yelled at for it.

Why is that something that's considered fun, again?

I love league... So much... I know so much about the game... I'm on the normal server and the beta testing environment... I'm versed in every single champion and every single game mode to where I can be reasonably effective... I've been playing for years and almost all my friends play...
