Do you play it? If so who?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

- Start date
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Trying my best to not play it. It literally isn't positive in any way, shape, or form.
Games take 30-60 minutes (too damn long)
It's EXTREMELY frustrating/rage-inducing and stressful
It's not fun when you're winning, and downright unplayable when you're losing
Good luck ranking up with how bad your teammates are
I used to play it a lot. Started before Season 1 was official and completely stopped playing at the beginning of Season 5. Ended up in Diamond 4 and Plat 1 for both of my accounts in Season 4. I did lots of boosting during Season 3/4 and made some nice spending money doing so; not to mention it was lots of fun crushing bronze/silver baddies. I mainly played top bruisers like Jax and Irelia, but also played a lot of assassin-type mids like Talon, LB and Kat.
It is definitely a rage-inducing game when you have teammates who act like children (or are kids themselves) and refuse to cooperate when you don't let them do what they want. Lots of toxicity in the game, but it does have its fun moments when you have friends to play with and don't care for the outcome of the game.
When Riot released the new summoner's rift, I basically had no choice but to buy a new computer if I wanted to keep playing the game (I have a very old Toshiba laptop; I averaged 28-30 fps on the lowest settings BEFORE the updated map). In a way, I am glad that they did that. Instead of playing hours of league, I focus on working out and improving myself. The best benefit is getting rid of all the stress associated with playing.
I still think about playing it from time to time, but I know it's just a time-sink. It has also changed a lot since I stopped playing, so it'd be more of a hassle to get up to speed on the meta, new items, etc.

I played in LoL beta and so on, it was alright. I like Heros of the storm better, mainly because of all the nostalgia from the characters. I'm a blizzard fanboy at heart.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

How do you deal with online turds and bossy dinks?
I have found that telling the team I'm a girl from Japan usually makes them come to my aid quicker. When my friends and I play we all pretend like we are a group of gamer grrrrls and the turds seem to fall in line. The only problem with this is that, in almost every game, someone will try to add me and then proceed to hit on me or follow me around the map trying to protect the lane, LoL.

Used to play it a looooooong time a go for like 6 months.
Around 3-4 hero releases before Irelia got introduced.
Played mostly Kat, Talon, Irelia as I remember.
Blizzard fanboy for life. Started playing Brood Wars when I was like 8 or 9. Played lots of DotA 3.7 in WC3 Reign of Chaos then All Stars in TFT and Dota 2. Played HoN briefly after it went F2P. I liked it (DotA) miles better than LoL, although the time commitmend was significant. Adding countless heroes during its the games life span seems retarded to me. Which was one of the reasons I dropped it ( FOTbiW).
I rarely play anything at all at the moment and don't see myself being sucked in anymore ( game industry going to ****e + not having the time to practice to the extend I could want to), burried with hobbies. If anything a round or two of CS:GO with work colleagues.
