Wait. Wasn't there a huge discussion at one point about how horribly old and shitty you were as a parent if you didn't have the courtesy of leaving your family alone while they played an online competitive game that involved the time of 9 other people?
So Belasco and other interrupters are the bag guys here right?

Just to be clear: I am also a gamer, it's not like I don't understand how much it sucks to be interrupted...omg interrupting me during a cutsceen I haven't seen before can be frustrating, but usually I just hold up a finger or say "gimme a minute" and all is well. I don't take people's heads off 'cause in the middle of a self-induced adrenaline high.
it's not the high
League is a competitive game. You are competing against the other team to decide who is best. A lot of times in competitive environments like these people will decide that yes, they care very much about being better than the other person at this game or sport or chess match, because I have attached some of my self-worth to how well I perform at this thing that is nominally for entertainment purposes only. And so, when you do not perform, you get upset because maybe your self-worth has been taken down a bit.
Plus the whole "I am letting my team down" when you are taken away from a game that can't be paused. These are powerful emotions because we're social creatures.
I'd almost say they were crucial to our early survival but I don't know enough about that stuff.

wait belasco no
get them high as shit
they cant get salty at u if theyre blasted out of their gourd
if you start mobas when you know you there is high risk of you getting interrupted (e.g: dinner in 40 minutes) you are a dumbass and can't complain
otherwise i mean, it shouldn't be expected for them to drop what they are doing unless its an emergency but they shouldn't be rood about it
I wish I could just ban LoL from the house, but I don't have the energy for the explosion it'd cause. And, honestly, a lot of the time it isn't an issue. There's a rule in the house that one has to get permission from me before they start playing and that permission is only good for one game. That rule isn't always followed, but largely it is...still, I don't get it, I don't get wanting to dive into something that causes that level of intensity. And, I'll admit, that maybe I don't get it 'cause I was born with a vulva. *shrug*
I like the moving out angle, I'll go get a hotel room and blow the last of our savings while spool32 looks for work. We can just be a series of stereotypes and see how that works out!

It's not about dropping what they're doing, it's about the answer to questions like "Hey, where does this thing go?" and "Oh, hey, does anyone want the last x" not being answered in a format that causes massive fighting for days

It's just that the guys get super tense and if they're interrupted there's about a 70/30 chance they're going to respond, um, let's call it "unkindly". This has lead to many actual arguments, so I see LoL as a thing that has the potential to start fights in the house. So I want to kill it with fire and bleach.
This is how we get when we're under the effects of Adrenaline.
It's not personal, but we're basically in flight or fight mode.
Maybe set some boundaries on some game time being uninterrupted or something unless it's an emergency.
yeeeah, no. I'm not limiting how the house functions around a game. here's a recent example:
spool15 asks spool17 (who is playing LoL) for confirmation that's it's really okay for him to borrow something right before leaving the house...spool17 jumped down his throat, huge fight ensued that lasted nearly a half hour.
spool15 is playing spool32 asks him to do the dishes when he's done with that game, spool15 says something shitty, spool32 grounds him from gaming...huge fight ensues, that one lasted nearly a week on and off
spool32 is playing, I have a migraine, the boys want to go to a friend's house since they have to tip toe around our place 'cause I'm near death - they tentitively go ask their father, much yelling later I'm puking my guts out and spool32 feels like an asshole for days.
Explain to me how a game that induces these reactions is fun?

There is a certain amount of satisfaction that comes from winning a game like that. I felt that feeling before in WoW pvp, but after a while it just became too exhausting and stressful. I'd rather just play a really immersive single player game these days, though on occasion I do miss PVP stuff.

More like how naive and dumb it was to think that a video game is more important than real life, at any time. People leaving games... it happens. If it was so important, you should have scheduled it and made time for it, just like any other important activity.
You want to be given the courtesy of being an adult and all that etiquette stuff? Then act like one.
Randoms on the internet can suck it. Your rating doesn't matter, like, ever.

How do people fight for days? How do people have energy to fight for days? Over a video game. It's like cave-persons.
"You said words while me play game hit things unga mad!"
this is a parent and teen fighting for days
I had fights with my folks that lasted over a month
We've had fights that lasted like... 3 month spans of time! you're not like, continually fighting, but any time a small fight happens it is related back to the central issue that you're both still pissed about, and it goes on until the core issue is actually solved and/or your anger about it peters out.

it's also not pausable like a single player game, or drop in/drop out like some competitive multiplayer games (tf2, etc)

For example, when Spool17 gets bizarrely furious at Spool15 for asking borrow his things, it is because Spool15 went through a period of not asking, and then losing or breaking those things, and while '15 is trying to improve, '17 is not ready to bury the original hatchet.
