I tell myself every time I'm going to quit playing online games but I keep coming back to League. I can deal with the squabbling and bad play from teammates, but the level of inattentiveness is staggering. FFS turn your phones off, kick everyone out of the room and turn off the tv. The number of times I've seen "oops, tv distracted me" If you're going to play a competitive game (in ranked mode no less) you need to devote the entirety of your being into the game for that 30-45 minutes. Otherwise what's the point in playing a competitive game? Turn it the fuck off and do something else then. Go play a story based game, or some casual phone game if you're just trying to pass the time or looking for idle entertainment. I have limited amounts of free time to play and want to take this shit seriously, but I guess the concept of ranked is fucking lost to some people...
It's like joining a local competitive sports league and not giving your all. Just because you're not a professional doesn't mean that while on the field you shouldn't do everything in your power (within the rules) to dominate the other team. Thats. The. Whole. Point. If it was called "casual" or "fuck around and drink beer" league then fine. It's not.
