I tried playing league of legends for the first time a few months ago. I haven't done any gaming in easily a decade or two and figured why not.
Like many (most, all?) games are now it was so damn complicated. There's hundreds of characters, infinite matchups, all these different potions and powerups etc. I thought I had the basics down but the other players told me very clearly how much room for improvement there is in my game. I feel like every game I've seen and heard of lately is like that.
Back in the day we'd get the guy from the left side of the screen to the right, and sometimes you had to jump over something to get there. Where are those games now? I'm busy and don't have time to get a phd in your game's lore, I just want something simple and mindless to unwind.
LoL is a esport competitive game, so it definitely breads a competitive player base. Not every game is made for every single person to enjoy. Which is fine.
Plenty of games are released daily that you could instead play that match your wants. If you give more insight outside of "just wanting an easy game", I could sort out list of reccomdations and send them your way.
I think the last new game I played was Mario Wii in 2012. It was challenging and engaging but easy to learn with a good walkthrough easing you in with the basics.
I still play C&C Red Alert now and then. Just dusted off my joystick and installedX-Wing alliance (upgrade at least, not the OG version from 1999). That's pretty much it. All the other games I've seen recently are either way too complicated (LoL) or just not engaging enough (Mario Kart for Switch for example, it's fine for a bit with friends but I just don't see myself playing it a lot.)
Oh, and I've been playing a lot of chess lately, currently rated around 1600 ELO.
I think it's very possible I'm just not a gamer..
