Why I lost interest was the rising costs of new sets plus the introductions of the vouchers. Combine that with the power creep of the new sets it just was a bit much for me. I had to resort to buying packs though hive engine to get a slight discount. Just staying in a tier where I could still earn was getting to be a grind, battling what seemed to be endless bots.
Then I was just only fighting brawls for my guild. Which was still fun. But now my guild is pretty much dead at this point with fellow members not even brawling anymore.
I'm not complaining , just stating what I went through for all that's worth. I love the game but when you step away from it for a period of time it's hard to get back into it, like most things in life.lol
I did the same. Stepped away, and when I came back, everything had changed. I did take the time to learn again, though, and after a short time with many lost battles, I started to figure out strategies - and that's where the fun started.
The guild problem is something many guilds are facing. Especially now, with a new modern. Of the 8 possible battles I get, only 2 or 3 enemies have a sufficient summoner, and most don't even show up. If you ever consider coming back and are looking for a guild, let me know - we're always looking for active players ;-)
I understand.
We have lost a lot of players that way. The loss of individual leagues in ranked battle is the one that hurt personally the most. And yet, I couldn't stop that, and also I couldn't bring it back. I tried though, but failed.
