League of Legends by Riot is by far the largest MOBA on the market. Many streamers and YouTubers became famous through the game. One of them is quitting now, even though he has never had as much fun with it as in the last seasons.
Which streamer is it about? The German Twitch streamer and YouTuber RvNxMango has streamed League of Legends for over 2,500 hours on his Twitch channel. On his YouTube channel “Fließende Mango”, he has regularly uploaded content about the MOBA for several years.
What is the reason he is quitting? In the latest YouTube video from May 8, 2025, RvNxMango explains why he will no longer spend time in the Summoner’s Rift of LoL for the time being. Although he had more fun than ever with the last and current season, which brought one of the worst bugs, another feeling crept in.
Before every new match, he found himself thinking that he had to start the next match, not out of desire, but because he had streamed LoL as a full-time job for the last 4 years. While playing, he realized that it brought him no satisfaction. Another statement from the video is as follows:
Thinking about the next game before the next game somehow gave me anti-desire.

Viewers understand his feelings
How does his community react to the video? The comments under the video are almost universally positive. Many lament that they will no longer receive LoL content from their favorite streamer, but they understand and can empathize with RvNxMango well.
The viewer domeking97 writes on YouTube: “You really speak from my soul. I love League, it has accompanied me for years and I can’t stop watching people play it, I just can’t play myself right now. I can understand you well. I still have your streams open and just find it good to listen to you, no matter what game.”
Another user named blueyeon807 writes (via YouTube.com): “I find it very relatable! Something similar happened to me. Ever since Marvel Rivals was released, League has also died for me, even though I played it every day for the last 4 years.”
The streams continue without LoL
What is RvNxMango streaming instead? In the same video where he talks about LoL, the streamer also says that he is currently “in heaven.” After a few days of not playing anything, he started again with Pokémon. The monster hunting is currently working great for him, both emotionally, as it is his favorite game along with LoL, and in the stream, where many people come in to watch.
The empathetic and strong community supports Mango and watches him even when no League of Legends is being streamed, as the user TheMaster2685 assured him in the comments: “Honestly, just play what you feel like. I watch you because I like you as a person, not just because of the game.”
A break from League of Legends is healthy for everyone, just like letting some of your enemies turn into friends. One of the largest and most well-known Twitch streamers of League of Legends did this by playing the MOBA with his arch-enemy and even having fun: For 3 years, Tyler1 despised the nicest guy on YouTube, now he plays LoL with him.
