December 16th (Thursday)

So it finally happened. . .snow :(

I really hate the snow which mainly comes from me hating the cold. . .enough on that though. . .

Today I think I played my last LoL (League of Legends) game for at least for a couple of months. It's an easier version of HoN honestly or I should say "simpler" version (not to mention it's free!). The game is fun but the game suffers from the same thing the others do which holds a lot of people back from playing which is egotistical people. I'm not the best at the game but in general the game revolves around basic fundamentals like any game. Farming, map control(or awareness), and common sense. There are a bunch of other stuff you need to know to play it and be decent but it's not much. . .common sense can get you pretty far but after that you need a team that has some type of composition with one another. Anyhow trying to play the game alone is like a chore because a lot of the time you get one person that quits early (probably right after he gets done feeding a lane) or you just get players who make horrible decisions (like picking a champ they have never played before in ranked). The problem is you can't tell anyone anything in the game because they all think they are better than the other which makes everyone say nothing. So now you have a team who literally doesn't like each other so we're obviously not going to do well unless the other team is just bad. I then realized I was becoming overly frustrated over a game which I usually don't get (which is probably because I don't play team based games often). Today's loss was probably the last straw and I figured I maybe need a break from that game.

However as frustrated as I became with the game it's still a fun game. I have played over 1000 games and I'm not trying to be competitive in this game so a break is probably best. The game is indeed best played with a group of friends rather than alone. It's free so I would suggest if you have some time and you like this type of game give it a shot. . .http://www.leagueoflegends.com/

So now I'll be playing some of my other games since I won't be playing as hard anymore because of work. I wanted to get much better at Street Fighter but I guess I'll have to get life straight then try again in the new version next year! Until then though gonna be playing the 4-5 action RPG's I have that I never play as well as some Wii games and try to relax.
