    They’ve abstracted away the social element. It takes so much work now to make a friend. After a game ends there’s perhaps a summary screen or lobby, so you can add another player to your friends list, but you have no way of discussing that with them. Anytime I get a friend request, I think, who is this? Why are they friending me

      Half the time a friend request comes just so someone can continue to flame you after the match is over

          I wish this behavior was limited to a single playerbase. I haven’t played league in a million years and this still happens sometimes

          Can’t we all just get along? We’re here to play games darn it
