The game intentionally gives you a 33 percent chance to have a game you can't win. That alone is enough to destroy anyone's mental. The playerbase is so dwindling that most trying to play swiftplay anymore are just trying to eek out a quick win, it incentivizes cheese strats, making fair games even less likely. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say I really want to be done playing league forever -- my online mate recently became a fan after arcane season two so it's been tough.
