I have no intention to ever play League of Legends, regardless of continuing prompts to change this policy. The primary reason I cannot be bothered, other than a general lack of satisfaction with online competitive environments, is the lack of apparent context in the game: The fiction and setting of LoL is a thin veneer to that exists only to justify the digital sporting event contained therein. I must confess that I find it hard to stay engaged in an event when I have no reason to care about it, and LoL is a game that, like Team Fortress 2 or Unreal Tournament, asks me to care because the game's bare mechanics are ostensibly fun. But in the absence of escapism, fantasy, or story? I might as well be playing a football game.
