I associate League of Legends with a time in my life that I had low self esteem, unhealthy friendships, undiagnosed anxiety disorder, and an addiction to the submissiveness built into the peniless support role.

*and I applied for an internship there* which I might not have survived

I dunno, the whole “work as a team but your avatar’s power depends a ton on your individual performance and whether the other team picks on you” dynamic seems to just create unhealthy social situations, especially in games like LoL or DotA with lots of downtime.

It’s both a stretch and irrelevant to say the design reflects the company’s culture towards sexist jokes and consent, yet in a short sighted way I feel a little vindication.
