That's it that's the post. Idk why but the feeling of having my friends list completely lit up green brings me a feeling that I haven't felt for a long time.
I'm still friends with them, I never had a falling out. They just stopped playing League, but jumped from game to game. Last year they played Fall guys, Among Us, and I didn't completely joined the ship.
The last month until now were the greatest time, ever since I understood the game completely. Since they all started playing Valorant which is coincidentally a Riot game. So I thought hey why not?
The feeling was amazing! It felt lonely for a while, and I never realized how lonely I felt playing a game. I also never realized how I tried to replace that feeling with joining lol meme subs just for interactions.
Even games that can be offline like Minecraft didn't feel like this. It was just a blast playing Valorant for almost a month now! I didn't realize how much my friends are willing to play with me after a day in college or their shift on their jobs.
I have friends who told me they "forgot" how fast I could pick up mechanics in video games. Saying shit with terms I don't know like Bean Hopping? Either way it felt really uplifting as if I was some kind of prodigy lmao.
And it felt like my news feed for my social media apps are lighting up! I'm involved with a community that's very content driven and a never ending meme pump. I get tagged with shit.
I even made new friends since one of my friends streams and they found out I also play now! I got people asking me who I am and if when do I feel like playing competititve. And if ever can they help me, I never got that in League. It's a constant feeling of trying to solo carry games in a too polarizing way that I normalized.
It felts like a chore playing Lol again after playing Valorant with friends. I don't know what the purpose of making this post anymore after the 1st sentence other than sharing how you guys feel and how I pray they don't leave me again.
To end this I'd like to say one final sentence. I FUCKING HATE BREEZE And I don't even know the game completely yet.

Valorant’s community is so toxic it makes me not want to play anymore.

Will agents in Valorant end up becoming overly complicated in order to stay fresh?
