Seeing a lot of people suggesting that people avoid playing or especially streaming any of their games tomorrow to coincide with the planned #ActiBlizzWalkout but in all seriousness, you should make that a permanent break not a one-day thing.

I think at this point every single one is free, or free up to a certain level cap, so feel free to try a few and find one that gets its hooks in you.
If you're a Diablo junkie, you similarly have an absurd abundance of options. Path of Exile is basically the same game, and free.

If you're an RTS junkie, that's a much less active genre, but maybe try one of these? slant.co/topics/9373/~-…

still have like a dozen other games with that exact aesthetic all over the place. Just skip that one from Riot because the whole point here is NOT supporting sex creeps driving their own employees to suicide.
