re: thunders post - hey - whatever you find fun, bro. Hope you've been enjoying playing it up with you other pals, though.
We have a blast joking around and it is undeniably fun in a way to be the best player in the game, however the frustration with teammates in games that I play with my one Bronze IV buddy are not worth it sometimes. The other is getting really close to Silver so those games aren't nearly as bad.
One reason I didn't mention before is that I don't want to play Ranked 5's with you guys because of my lag situation. It's gotten significantly better after altering the QoS on the router, but it still sucks.
Not knowing when my bandwidth is going to take a dive has made me less likely to play in games with people who are more on the competitive side. In Silonze games with my friends, I've still been able to carry hard as Swain during a laggy game and when I'm queuing up with MC's who don't grab Flash on Amumu, I feel less bad about having a poor performance y'know?
It's not just the Support position that I'm not as into anymore but League in general. Not being able to play with people I know during prime hours, not knowing if I'm going to go from carrying my team to losing the game for them cause I start lagging during a crucial teamfight... just kinda saps your motivation to get better y'know?
But!
I'm moving into a new place in a few weeks where I'll have my own connection. Got an appointment with the ISP and everything. Love of LoL and Thresh should be restored at that point...
