Can We Talk About This? Quitting League of Legends

[NickyBoi]

Cheers man, you've been such a great friend and an inspiration. You helped me find my passion and pushed me to improve every step of the way. I'm sad to lose another League of Legends content legend but BEYOND excited for the next step of your journey and what you got cooking in the over for the future of the channel. We're behind you dude :)

[Dumbs]

Damn this video really hit home. So many good points and also reasons why I have also lost some motivation to grind on big videos. It’s just simply not worth it. Love you Skooch and hoping for the best of luck on your future content <3

WE WILL BE WATCHING

As someone who has quit league about two years now I have to say that I'm glad that you see the issues too. I remember jumping in solo and actually having a lot of fun even with the other team. We would support each other even if it meant we lost the game, just because it was fun and meant nothing to us (as all games should). I wish league understood their main community will never be eSports based, and would strive to make them the happiest.

You know what’s fucked up? When I saw all the can we talk about this subjects fly by and the skit at the end I teared up just a little bit. Not enough to where you blink and it runs down your cheek but enough to get me excited for what’s gonna happen. Do whatever your heart desires skooch and your fans will follow. Even your skooch.mp3. Stay true to yourself king 💙

After you posted this I decided to take a break from the game. Haven't gone back and honestly I have felt so much better. Been playing ffxiv, an amazing community of people, and I think thats really what I wanted. Appreciate your content and will keep watching. Thanks for helping me take the step I needed to take in having this game play a much smaller role in my life.

It’s really sad to see you drop the game, especially as someone just getting into the game at a for fun level, but I’ll be sure to stay around!

I really hate "I'm quitting League" videos in general but you managed to make this one so fun and wholesome, I friggin love it

I started playing league around the end of S4 and the beginning of S5, and that was the best time I had playing this game. I quit because I realized it will never go back to what it was anymore, it's just not the same game I used to love...

I almost got kicked out of university because I couldn't stop playing during my first and second year. My grades, friendship, and social life suffered to the point where I cannot even recognize myself anymore. Moreover, my life was completely filled by playing league everyday for countless hours, and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about my gaming addictions. I tried to quit by uninstalling the game quite a few times before, but it was only since June of 2020 when I managed to quit completely. On the day that I quit, I was so angry and frustrated that I lost countless ranked games in a row, to the point where I almost raged after I lost a couple of meaningless ARAM games just trying to win for once. I was no longer having fun but rather playing just because couple of friends who introduced me to the game were still playing. What really hit me was the sudden realization that I've put my blood and sweat over all these years, yet I was still hard stuck gold and couldn't win a single game that day no matter how hard I tried. I had never lost my mind like that before and I knew that I just couldn't take it anymore, so I deleted the game one last time for good. Since then, I haven't touched the game and I absolutely don't have any desire to play it again.

I regretted wasting six years of precious time, life, and money on this game, and it's something that I can never get back. Looking back at it, I don't miss this game at all. It was simply one of the best decisions I've made as it changed my life completely. I became a much happier person, as I found my purpose and calling in life through my church. In terms of my career, I made the decision to pursue a career in education after I quit. More importantly, just a few months after I quit I met my girlfriend, and we have been dating for over a year now. Honestly, I don't think I would have gotten a girlfriend if I continued playing. Your life will be in a much better state when you stop wasting your money and time on something that's literally a virtual reward and data. Seriously guys life is just too valuable to continue to waste it on something like this... it's never too late to quit and turn your life around.

When Dunky stopped making League content, he started producing the greatest variety content on the entire platform. You're gonna be great, Skooch. I'll be here for it.

I started playing back when Jinx was released. I remember watching her music video and I was obsessed! Thanks to league I met my husband and we now have a son together. I will forever be grateful, but like Skooch, I too, am saddened by how much league has changed. To me, it's like watching an old friend change and grow distant with me. I no longer have fun like I use to back when league was for the players. It aches my heart but I have also decided to quit league. I will always be thankful for what it brought to me and the doors it opened, but like a family member on their deathbed, I can only say I loved you and let them pass. Goodbye league, may you continue to thrive wherever you go as you become a fond memory in my heart.

I don’t follow you and did not know who you are but this video touched me man. I was a league fan since season 2 and am sad at the state of the game and also the esports scene, you captured a lot of the issues really well.
Good luck on your new chapter, You’ve earned a new fan!

22:26 “I promise I’m going to do everything in my power to earn your respect elsewhere”

You already had it Skooch. May this next era be something that we can all talk about forever

[eboyvic]

Came for league, but I stayed for you man
Looking forward to everything you'll do in the future!

[SojournerKai]

Best of luck to you homie! It's been an immense privilege to be your former editor and current friend for these past few years. Your creativity and zeal truly knows no bounds and I cannot wait to see what you come up with next.

[RyanBlakeKain]

When I was playing League, and watched the YouTube content I enjoyed start dying or not being made, I thought I'd never find more stuff like it.

That's when I got recommended your first "Can We Talk About This?".
That nicely filled in a bit of the hole so much of League content disappearing had left.

In 2020, I did decide to just stop playing League, so 2 years after that, it's interesting to see you doing the same.

I wish you much luck with all your future endeavors!

[dunkaru_]

I truly miss the era of the content you and the Karp crew made. You nailed how I feel about LOL. Came for the League content staying for the creator. <3

[caleb]

I liked the "Can we talk about this?" series because of your humor and creativity and it just happening to be tied to something I used to obsess over. If that humor and creativity continues, I think you will be alright. Hope you have a good Christmas and happy new year.

[falconshield]

I'm still making content 🥲 but honestly...it's not enough to grow, and doesn't really feel like Riot cares. Used to get some pull which got me ears in front of League players, but...these days I'm mostly doing it for my own enjoyment. I don't recognize the community since many years.

[MidnightHedgehog]

How bittersweet is this. I got into league of legends about 8 years ago because my friends wanted to play it with me. They quickly left me to play other games and I got stuck playing it because I was still new and it was fun. Years later I still play it and kinda live through youtube content to validate my opinions and have a laugh caused I don't really have anyone to talk about current league with but one other person. I'm sad to see you go Skooch but even happier that you're going to make content on things that you love! The spark isn't there anymore and that definitely happens! If someone like me can stick around then I'm sure others will too! And if not who needs them! Grow with the fans who love you not the ones who use you.

[philipfrementitis]

After almost 11 years of playing the game I was thinking this for the last 2 seasons. This video was so good that it literally made me cry. Thank you skooch <3
