How much time should be devoted to League?

Since lolking.net's "charts" down so I can't do my piece on some of the Champions with the lowest win rate and why, I suppose I should do a brief update of why I haven't been posting as much as old wind bag (Stephen).

I haven't been playing League. In fact, I uninstalled it.

I'm in school right now and at the beginning of each quarter I usually try to distance myself from distractions for a few weeks. This quarter I'm also doing NaNoWriMo and working weekday nights.

Honestly, I don't really know where the balance point is for me and League. I'm sure a lot of people have this problem especially those who know a lot of people that play. A lot of the issue comes from the fact that games are so long but so frequently thrown, carried by unbalanced teammates, or victims of unbalanced match making. To that end, it almost doesn't make sense to play anything but ranked since going through two independent matchmakings stretches the problem out for longer.

So I guess the question boils down to: Can you improve and advance in League by never "practicing" outside of ranked?

I'll have to get back to that another time.
