I delayed switching my Win10 desktop to Proton because League brought Doombots back this week.

God, I am never escaping this game, am I...

I don't know what that means and frankly I think that's a blessing.

Count yourself lucky.

But frankly, imo League is overhated. I've been playing that game since I was 12 and no one has attempted to groom me on it. Meanwhile my time on Roblox and public Minecraft servers was...something...

Fair, I can see that. Whenever I hear a LoL player describe playing it it sounds like the time when I played WoT religiously and I don't have partially fond memories of WoT.

No, yeah, I won't say there isn't a segment of the playerbase that's addicted, but I do think it's a bit overplayed for humour. Same with the toxicity, I've personally heard worse in FPS lobbies with forced voice chats.

Also our GOAT is Faker, one of the most wholesome players across all of esports. A lot of players hang around the ecosystem for him specifically.

No they don't want to groom you, they would rather you dig a ditch and die in it lmao

Its time to move on. Come on we will get you into rehab, install a nice linux desktop for you and ease you back into playing some good healthy games.. like dota :p

Hello, my name is AnAbsurdlyAgitatedAnaconda and I am an addict. I started with LOL and later reached the highs in DoTA2. Now I am free from any kind of MOBA in straight 1907 days! Thanks for having me.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Toxic MOBA to Toxic MOBA sidegrade is crazy, bro

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 days ago

I'm kidding I've never played dota. i replaced my league addiction with factorio

You do have options. You could run Windows 11 Enterprise IoT edition, which is Windows 11 with lower hardware requirements and significantly less bloat. Or, you could switch to Linux and run Windows in a virtual machine for those edge cases where only Windows will do.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Listen...I'm trying to escape both Windows and League of Legends. Don't give me an out here, I beg.

In all seriousness, thanks for the helpful suggestion though! I was looking at the LTSC version of Win11 before I decided to at least give some version of Linux a go as a daily driver for a bit. I can always switch back if I really hate it, you know?

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, you absolutely can! It's not a forever decision. You always have the option to switch OS. :)

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

nope. it's a forever decision. Once you go linux, you'll never WANT to go back to windows.
