Sometimes you have to just take the plunge and stop 'cold turkey', finding other fun games or hobbies to occupy the time you spent on HS. I haven't quit HS, but I did quit WoW, one of the games I loved playing, despite having played it for 10 years, almost 300 mounts at the time (including multiple TCG mounts, some retired mounts, RBG mounts, and many 1% drop dungeon/raid mounts). Not to mention all of the other achs, pets, transmog, etc.
It can be hard to walk away from any game after spending a lot of money/time/effort put into it. Just got to have other fun and enjoyable things to do in its place if/when you want to come back.
Whoa yeah coming from WoW like that really put it into perspective. Thank you, Lyra!
If you're not playing to have fun, you probably shouldn't be playing. If you're concerned about losing your investment, that feeling will only get worse the longer you play and invest more money into it. Just quit now and like Shuckie and Sinti said, you paid for all the fun you had, so it wasn't money wasted. Maybe after a break you'll want to come back and feel a fresh interest. But either way, stop playing if it doesn't make you happy.
Sometimes i forget that the first priority is to have fun, lol. Thanks for reminding me!!
What Shuckie said. Also you can look at it this way: did the money/time spent provide for an entertainment for the time being? If so, then just accept that and see it as an investment into your hobby. Some ppl spend more money on a single night out than it costs to buy a preorder for an expansion for example.
Just see it as money/time spent on having fun, dont feel obligated to stay with something you dont have time for just cause you invested into it. You eventually stop partying as well (or as often), once you dont have time for that anymore either :)
Yea it's actually just like any other entertainment where you pay up front, right. Thanks for your insight!
Here's a useful extension to your options: leave until you get an urge to play again. Your account and collection aren't going to disappear, so stopping playing doesn't waste previous investment (even ignoring the sunk cost fallacy).
It may be that you are happy to never come back, when the sunk cost fallacy will tell you that is fine, or you do come back and nothing was lost anyway. Either way, taking a break from HS is not a commitment to leave forever, so you don't need to feel like it is.
More of this, please! As a newer player (2018) i feel like i missed a lot, so to know things of the past (wether memorable or detestable) is delightful.
Dont worry, mate. There's this deck that can kill you in T1 with the right hand, Khadgar HP on Dalaran Heist, and your spell cost blood perk, preventing you from even trying.
I even lose to that while playing the +1/+1 zero mana twice a turn deck.
Yea i feel the same way towards those wildcard. I guess it is because our inability to decide so we rather let the game decide for us, and then we follow it up.
But if i were the OP, i would just craft Sejuani because it is what you originally wanted, right. Just think of it as another form of the game giving you Sej.
Yes, with the duplicate protection you also can "condition" your champion capsule to open any champion you want.
Example: You want Sejuani on Freljord capsule, you can craft 3 copy of all 4 other champs (12 cards) to make sure you open it. I know it kinda expensive, but on freljord you already got some starter champs.
Props to swimstrim for this. Hope this help some people.
Does this mean that balance patch will be on 1.7, 1.9 and so on? Or maybe it's the changed day from Tues to Thurs?
Whoa yeah coming from WoW like that really put it into perspective. Thank you, Lyra!

Yeah i probably will play every other third day just to clear quest like you said, thank you good mate!
Yea it's actually just like any other entertainment where you pay up front, right. Thanks for your insight!
Ah yes, i can see it now, thank you
How do you guys feel when you need/want to leave HS (for whatever reason) but already spent 'that' much (value is relative right) money in the game?
My work is taking so much time and yet i 'kinda' feel forced to keep playing HS so i'm not feeling my money and time spent is wasted.
I know it's irrational but damn it's hard to fight against.
Mind sharing your perspective, senpai?
Yeah im playing what i call BIG Pirates (Sej + GP) with The Tuskraider.
The deck work by nabing your opponent in the early game and finish em with double stats units. Love the theme!

So basically Riot will rework cards just like reworking champs in LoL, right. I like that.
Okay this buff has fuel my fire again to get back to make noxus allegiance work.
Is there any news for any change on epic cards in patch 1.4 ?
Yea i think its kinda lobster-crab type of creature. From the photo it seems like it is walking sideways, too..Invalid Deck ID
I like #6, just clean.
Who is Chonk anyway? Is it a poro infused by the power of the Volibear?

Yeah totally relate to this. On Tuesday it means happiness is sort-of-divided across the week.
Okay it makes sense now, thanks.
Well same for me, but my way of explaining things is
