I'm starting a new channel as a way to put some creative energy into league and other games, haven't fully announced it yet so you can be among the first subscribers if you see this comment: ruclips.net/video/ux2qtmNec6Y/видео.html
haha wtf i just watched that blue crab pot like 20 mins ago XD
Bro this video is bad from 1 sec. It had no soul. Unwatchable for me. Please record yourself for min authenticity.
Dude, you role-played Yorick with Ezreal.
Yea, of course it ain't fun that way.
It would be fun if you play like that with Yorick; Ezreal is for skirmishing.
May I introduce you to "cockroach Udyr"? It's super fun seeing the enemy team rage when you can abuse ravenous hydra and a life steal build to gain 2-3k health off a minion wave with Ravenous active. They just stop playing to watch the madness.
Having fun pff weak mentality
That's why 90% of my games are ARAM nowadays ... (and even there ... "why so serious ???")
This! 90% of my games are ARAM and I'm loving it every day.
Yep. TFT, Aram or the Rotating flavor of the month, I dont touch summoners rift.
I've been 100% ARAM/TFT for the past 7 years at least. Arams the only chance to have a fun laid back f-around after school feeling game.
dude, I stopped League after ARAM got competitive... I was doing good then I started to get into diamonds and Emerald players, then the fun ended.
If your comp dont have a tank or initiator = pain.
If your comp is full ad or full ap = pain.
Then you are kinda forced to play something meta to have a 'ok team' and not just get obliterated for 20min.
Ppl start to dodge looking for a better comp, some have exclusive ARAM accounts to get better RNG in the champ selection.
Then I started to get flamed by my own teammates. ARAM got competitive then I stopped playing all togheter. Fuck that.
Sadly, most aram players play to never die and are so boring. Aram is about full sending and memeing.
What made it less fun for me was once I started doing ranked. I wasn't good enough to be high elo but I always wanted to play with people who were some what competative. Those last few months of league I was playing nothing but meme builds before I finally just walked away
Just watched the video and if I was that Ekko I would have been looking at stools and rope on Amazon
Bro i had a tah. Kench with poppy botlane,as shaco supp and mf adc.lets just say they had 20kills by the end of game
Would be good DLC for Rito. A rope and a stool.
You see thats part of the problem, if i was that ekko i wouldn't care cause having teemo support there means easier botlane plus it's just a game. What would piss me off if my teammates would start hopping on the flaming vagon and i have no doubt they did. "It's clearly a jungle diff" afterall when u don't get dragon alone against 4 enemies, all league of losers players unite on blaming the jungle for every missplay they do. It's pretty fuckin sad tho, your family and loves one won't leave you cause played bad at league 😂
Honestly I switch to fighting games and I could NOT be more happy. The community is better and I only have to rely on my own skill to win or lose. It's still fun for me to watch league from time to time, (i mean obviously or else i wouldnt warch ravs videos) but dear God. Everytime I see all chat it reminds me that I made the best decision.
Just so you know, the "I am sick of tryharding ranked so I am going to play normals and have fun/play aram and have fun" is the last stage before truly quitting this shit game
many do
Everybody who after 14 years didnt realize that you should play what is fun to you and not whats meta deserve to quit the game bcs they cant have any fun.
Everybody repeats "you have to play meta or you banned" and then there are challengers who just play shaco top, signed jngl, poppy supp and having fun...
Its not the game its the mentality of players
@@JimmyTheAIagreed. They are morons
@@JimmyTheAI While I see your point in general, I don't think it applies to competitive games.
Competitive games are not played for fun 100%. They are played to be won.
And in order to do that, the best way is to follow the trend of what makes it easier to do so, otherwise called "meta".
Now, should you or people call for "banning those who play outside of said meta"? No, of course not. That is just a toxic mentality fostered by the game's lack of control over its community.
hence why there are ranks and norms
We used to have 2 more maps, which they removed, and a lot of game modes. Now we get 250+ skins to buy every year instead.
Man.... I miss ascension....
@@ValSempai I suppose you never played dominion.
@@sofakingdom3076 and hide n seek dominion
Saying league of legends was ever fun is one of the main symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome.
hot take, game was and always has been fun. and I'm the biggest hater. game is just fun
it just depends on how you play it. have had chat off for years and 80% of the games I do is either with friends or random arams
I have fun playing it every day after work. doesn't stress me. doesn't annoy me
just don't take it seriously and you'll still manage to have fun
It's not SHS, it's more akin to enjoying a food until you real8ze what it is. It tastes good, until they tell you these oysters from the rockies aren't your normal oysters.
Stacking 5 thornmails on Rammus and rolling mid was always just "ok".
I liked this game a lot till season 4, enjoyed it a bit till season 6, struggled to find reasons to play till season 8, and afterwards I completely dropped, and it's been years now since I played this game.
No, it was fun back in 2010-2013
"the 2 toplaners that identify as midlaners"... :DDDDDDDD
at this point people should start make a guide on how to have fun playing this game
thats basically what the 3 games in this vid are trying to do, but might double down on this idea at the risk of ppl calling me a troll
One shotting always puts a smile on my face
Guides and videos are one of the reasons the game's fun died, because everyone now wants to follow guides to the letter and if you dare to deviate, you'd get flamed and trolled.
Everyone has fun in different ways tho?
urf
I got into the habit of disabling vanguard when I turn my pc on each day. That way if I want to play league I have to restart and it gives me a moment of clarity to say “not today”
Damn I thought I was the only one XD I still restart it tho…you have more will power
I went onto all of my accounts and just typed the n word a few times before quitting the game. Best deicision I've ever made and saved me from queuing for 14 hours a day making no progress.
'chasing wins isn't fun" -- proceeds to show 3/3 games he won
Having fun doesn’t mean losing
winning is fun, it just depends on HOW you win. For example winning a game where someone on the enemy team is literally inting and then afks isn't fun because it's a 4v5 and someone is intentionally making the game unwinnable. Winning games where you got to do nothing in them but hit minions is also not fun. Winning games where you roamed a lot or got a bunch of kills from playing well and fighting IS fun though.
Chasing wins and winning aren't the same thing
@@YuYuYuna_ just had a slaughterhouse match where my team was taking major L’s but a couple amazing fiddle ults entirely turned it around and I had a blast -at the end of the Match-
I know damn well everyone else was miserable and trying to ff constantly. It’s all about perspective.
I bet those 3 games wouldn't have been fun for him if he lost them. Low elo just tired of being low elo for all his life and blames the ranked instead of playing normals or aram where people don't care at all.
another problem is LoL itself
"having fun? NOT PLAYING META!? *BANNED!* go have fun on some other game, LoL is serious business!"
Funny thing is that ppl actualy are having fun and inventing new builds and strategies but all those who just following a guide or a trend are suffering. And you wont ever get banned for picking off meta pick, you get reported if you finish the losing game with 0/8/0 and a lost lane... Which wont do anything if you actually dont do this every single game.
So.. have fun, stop playing what you think you should.
@@JimmyTheAI Not true at all, Ive went AP yummi mid and would go positive in lane. People would report anyways and when I got banned riots response was that even though I was not griefing by their own admission, I had been reported enough so they had to.
you literally dont get banned for that though xD
@@lionssin4983 I mean are we talking playing AP yuumi mid in Normals or Ranked? If it's ranked I would report you. People like the OP like to cry about ppl being meta slaves but I don't care if someone's pick is off meta as long as it's not completely troll in the role they are playing. For ex I've played with teemo supports, leblanc supports, sion supports, etc. and while it was janky it was, key word, playable. On the other hand I've had games/drafts where my support locks in Smolder support, sylas support, etc. and lane was an auto loss and they just fed their asses off because they can't do anything and can't walk up without dying to the slightest gust of wind. I'm all for off meta picks... as long as the idea behind them is plausible and you can understand how it could work. I've played with sion mids, I've played with alistar top lanes. I'm fine with people picking off meta if that's what they enjoy but it has to be within reason. Yuumi mid vs anyone that has hands is going to feed uncontrollably. That's pretty much my metric if something is troll vs just a niche off meta pick. How likely is it that they turbo feed and go down 80 cs at 15 minutes? If it's above 50% then it is troll to me and should be bannable.
@@lionssin4983 How many times you went positive and how many times you were steamrolled when you were reported "enough times"? Ive played some wild picks but there are always honors to keep you not banned.
this teemo reminds me of my game where my supp picked shaco with smite, solo invaded and stole first 2 buffs from enemy jg, and after that their whole team literally was chasing shaco for 15 minutes and then surrendered
It's freakin' hilarious!
I remember the good old times when there was a new champ every 2 weeks and I used to play Cho adc in the 3v3 map
twisted treeline. we won a tournament there published by garena.
Remember when champions dind't change every two seconds? They re-worked all champions, wtf am I supposed to play now. Changed my Akali, reworked mundo, to hell with this game xd but... I guess Im "old", so they don't care of people playing this game if they aren't teenagers lol
@@aurelianspodarec2629 True, only Dota 2 heroes reached 20 year old kits like Pudge, I can't remember Void's W but rest of his kit was the same since the mod from WarCraft III Defense of The Ancients.
@@MangaGamified Interesting. And how about Ryze? lol They could have created like 10different champions instead of re-working him that many times xd
I wonder why they are doing this :(
@@aurelianspodarec2629 I'm confused as well, they're the only group that does this.
...I think it comes down to that famous quote by Soren Johnson, who worked on the Civ games.
"Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game"
Things are so optimized, that they're no longer fun. You can't go silly builds anymore. AP Yi or GP just isn't a thing anymore, unless you're "trolling". You won't find people doing silly experiments, like AD Tank Vlad... Overall, things just... Too optimized to be fun.
I didn't make the bot army.
That's boosting accounts to lvl 30 because rito made it 100X harder to get to 30,
I also didn't make the bot army that's spamming accounts to diamond to sell to wallet warriors.
I play TanKarma on arams, Hearsteel+SV R+W and I can take both all attacks from enemy team AND hate towards my build (from the enemy AND my team).
And if my team plays around my trolling, we most often than not get a win, with reluctant honors to me because "ok yes you did tank 3 enemies under tower to let us push+kill"
@@SeventeenGhost ok?
@@thedeadliest4380 I think I answered the wrong comment..........
you can play the game for fun... its called draft mode. the problem is people mix "fun" and competitive. So, its okay when you want to have fun but its not okay for people want to be competitive? You can play all the BS builds you want, dont play it in ranked. Problem solved.
When I notice that me having fun correlates directly with another player not having fun I figure the game is bad and stop playing
Thank you, i get Ravs point but you are queing up to a 5v5 pvp game and are like its not fun to try so let me ruin 4 other peoples games because OMEGALOL is such a terrible way to think
@@Krapahirlin No wanting to follow meta like a religion is on them. It's a game it used to be absolute fukkery cuz everyone just did whatever role pick build wise and it was hilarious.
For me the single most annoying thing is the matchmaking outside of ranked, I've never got above silver when playing ranked ( I know I suck) but for the last few months I've not had a game where one or both teams have at least one person from plat or above. Games for me just seem to be which Smurf carries more.
for real. I was about to break out of iron, then I get 5 games of either a bot, or bottom getting ruined 5 to 30 sort of game. So even if I was 12 and 4, it was useless.
Same, but even in ranked I'd get put in games with everyone 2 ranks above me for some fucking reason :/ I suck at the game rito, let me play with other people that suck
@@Shadow-the-scribbler Play some games get some losses and then your mmr will drop and you will play with worse players.
@@Antixandros My account is from season 3 it has enough losses on it, i know im not a great player but its every game now theres people from 3 whole divisions above me in my games. thats not an mmr issue.
That doesn't change anything, people in normals are just as sweaty as people in rankeds. Try to pick off meta and watch these clowns go crazy.
Edit: oh and even if nobody flames you get to play against someone with 500k mastery points on his champ.
As game progresses it's gonna get more stale in builds and more competitive.
It's just the natural cycle if you aim your game to be fit for esports
Even if you don't if the community of a game is competitive they will inevitably find whatever is the most optimal way to play the game and try to min max their gameplay. Heroes of the Storm (when it was still alive) was a great example of a game that had an esport, was being made to foster an esport, and yet the overwhelming majority of the community was casual and while there was a meta and top tier champs to pick most people in ranked would play whatever they find fun.
@@YuYuYuna_ And thats why the Community that is left in that game dont know how to play the maps or there own Hero. And it also shows that sooner or later if u have a casual game in a competitiv genre the competitiv players will leave which turns the game into an insufrable pain that makes all the other players leave too. There are good reasons why Heroes of the Storm died and no its not cause it was "too late" game could have come out at the same time as league of legends and it would have still ended the same way.
@@freakdavid4085 Exactly. Without the hardcore player base aka the "Competitive players" casual players will quit too. Because casual players are, Casual. They dont care. DO NOT balance for them, or even care for them. They aren't loyal or invested, then dont be loyal or invested in them. They simply do not know what they want. You cannot play both sides, Do not try to. Its either all fun, or competitive. One survives decades, and one dies out in a year. Because at the end of the day you need to feel like you are actually doing something thats worth it to continue playing something, even if you are a casual player. If theres nothing at the end of the tunnel, whats the point? Secretly casual players look up to the pros, even if they dont say it or sound like it. Games without pro scenes always die out unless they have a very special element to them that make them a exception.
This is absolutely true, which is why many other games has been trying out variations of the main game mode.
This year, Dead by Daylight did some limited time game modifiers, with a higher emphasis on fun, starting with the Light's Out mode, where every map was pitch black, and you could not see anything outside of maybe 12-16 meters. Then of course, we got the april fools mode, and lately, we had a perk randomizer mode. Moving away from meta builds and all of that, and just casually having fun, while still playing the core game was such a refreshing breeze, and something the game needed for such a long time.
Overwatch 2 has also done some cool limited time modes as well, starting around April Fools with the "Balanced Overwatch" mode, which was anything but. Everything was overpowered, and super fun, and every character was outfitted with giant googley-eyes. Then we got "Mirrorwatch" where certain characters had brand new abilities, which was really fun. And lately we have a community created balance mode. So refreshing and different from the regular gameplay.
League definitely needs to do these limited time modes more. And expanding the limited time modes with new ideas, as well as bringing back the old classics, like Doom Bots, Hexakill and Nemesis Draft. I know the community, especially among the veteran players would love to have a "classic" mode at some point
It's interesting hearing this pov as I originally only played normals for my first 2-3 years of League with a family of gamers I met online, and I had a complete blast with them. Then, one of the older members had a heart attack and died, and I think they all quit League because the memories associated with him and League were too painful to bear. This resulted in me starting ranked which completely shifted the way I interact with League. My sense of enjoyment shifted from just playing the game to being better at the game. I derived pleasure from climbing, and each season I went a little higher resulting in my continual enjoyment of the game. I still remember how amazing it felt when I got Master for the first time and I was in awe of how talented the other players around me were. Yet now, I can casually get GM and barely scrape the bottom of Challenger, but it feels so empty. I used to all chat in a positive way or tease when I only played normals, making a ton of new and fun friendships. Even after a decade, one still holds to this day. We've literally never met (she's a Vietnamese national living in the UK), but occasionally check in on each other every now and then and she's one of my first picks for Clash. But, these days I almost never all chat because in ranked, people practically never have anything nice to say, so I've just trained myself to not interact with chat. Straight up, someone adding you back in the day was always a friendly gesture. These days, 9/10 times you're gonna get flamed the shit out of lol. Looking back, I think I never should've touched ranked and kept my purpose for gaming pure. To simply have fun.
Do I need to remind you that last pick used to be forced to play support? IN RANKED.
Picking your roles is a new feature that wasn't around since the beginning.
As much fun as you had playing whatever you wanted, it was equally as painful trying to play ranked back in those days. Good luck playing Mid or Top if you're not first pick.
well people would fight over who was in which lane. Then somebody would not leave the lane.
I miss old LoL. The shit graphics was actually endearing, And the old kits were actually fun as fuck. I miss how you could build off meta and still be viable but now the reworks force you into a play style that makes almost all off meta builds a reportable offense to your team.
League to me is like the syringe pit in 'Saw 2' except there may or may not be a cookie at the bottom of it.
As someone with a severe needle phobia. I hate you for reminding me of this scene.
@@anthonyfaiell3263 Conquer your fears for Schrödinger's cookie.
It's saddening how right this is. I've tried so hard to enjoy league recently but just can't, it's the same mind numbing game every match ❤️
i used to have 2500 ranked games in one season 4 years ago. Now i just 15 ranked games. League isn't fun anymore but Fortnite is 100%.
Im wating for Supervive
not to mention ... their Vanguard system..
spyware system.
Vanguard error 72 system
Thing with oldschool league of legends is people played for fun when it first came out.
shortly after it came out Esports became super popular and everyone and their moms turned from "playing for fun" to only "playing to win"
Now everyone will FF at 15 if their team isnt winning thinking theyll somehow become pros in esports in the future.
people just don't want to waste time that's why they ff @ 15...
No everybody was playing to win even "back in the days" there was just less competition and nobody knew what they where doing but everybody allways wanted to win. Just cause u play with your friends and they dont know what meta is or what is the optimal way to play dosnt mean that if they find something that works that they wont abuse the shit out of it cause they will. People who say things like this sound to me like they just want to win without putting in the effort, they are basicly saying "what is this? i used to be able to win doing stupid shit and halfassing the game why dosnt that work anymore?"
@@freakdavid4085 You are exactly right. Which is why they complain about ranked instead of just playing quickplay or draft pick. Secretly they want to rank up, but dont want to put in the effort.
@@nashambenyisrael7689 If they are playing League, they're already wasting time xD
@@freakdavid4085 LoL was more chaotic before. You didn't know what would work and what it does. Now, it's all about playing meta. What is meta? Following a recipe, a set of rules and principles, and repeat them every game hoping you'd win.
Where's the fun of doing the same thing over and over again?
Duo top even used to be a thing back in the day. Today it's unplayable.
Or, how now junglers can't farm lanes. Why? There was this Taric top + Yi funnel thing. They nerfed it because "pro play doesn't like it" and you know what? PRO PLAY CAN SMA !!!!
I am jungle main, climbed from Silver to Plat. I can safely say Silver was the most fun I ever had in LOL. In silver there is actually a good amount of cooperation, players are willing to listen and I could be the shotcaller when necessary.
Gold and Plat was a mental asylum, typing or pinging was futile. The only way to play was mute all and play extremely selfish, I noticed high elo streamers played this way as well. As a jungle main who focuses on macro and teamplay the game became unplayable.
And it's really not the players fault, it wasn't this bad before. There was a marked decrease in game quality after Riot nerfed pings to the ground. Literally every attempt to ping is now stifled by the ping limit, and typing instructions is impossible with fast paced gameplay. Every other competitive team game has voice chat.
A team game where the team is unable to communicate. That is the problem with League of Legends. The game is quite literally encouraging narcissism and sociopathy by design, ironic considering they pay so much lip service to ending toxic behavior.
It is a form of torture to be strapped together with 4 strangers where you must somehow cooperate to win, yet can only communicate through grunts and clicks.
Yes. I am currently in Gold, losing every game.
I tried to play Gwen/Kayle and wait for late to carry. I can't reach late because the game ends minute 15 as my bot goes 0/20.
I tried to play Irelia mid, works better because I have more control on the early stages, but unless I am last pick, I get tons of counter picks.
I tried to play support... I literally roamed the entire game and got my mid and ADC fed with ganks and good engages. But...my ADC decided to go from 6/1 to 6/9.
I tried to play Zac jungle...works...I can bring a game by myself up to the minute 45 and somehow lose it. I sweat like the ultimate tryharder trying to gank everyone and counter-gank the enemy jungler, and my team instead of ENDING when it is the moment, my mid goes to farm jungle, my adc goes base, while ALL ENEMIES ARE DEAD AND WAITING FOR RESPAWN.
So they catch up and we lose.
At this point I can't. I am a programmer and this game is affecting my mental health and my day performance. I waste hours on stupid games, I gain 15lp per win and lose 35 per defeat.
I can totally understand what you said, in silver people are trying. In silver, if you are gaining a lead, people will use their mind, leave ego aside and listen to you.
In gold, everyone plays for himself, while the enemies are always one for all and all for one.
2 years ago I was plat, and I remember I had multiple Draven/Twitch/Kaisa mains who were running it down mid like Tyler1 used to for simply disagreeing with them or accidentally taking one minion when ganking.
I remember one Draven going afk and trash talking in the all chat because the support stole him the quadra kill by mistake (it was Blitz's thunder passive). I think he also inted a little.
@@alexale5488 I've thought about coming back to League and inviting my team to voice chat during champ select. I've seen some people do it. Even if only one person joins, I only need one teammate to play off of to have a chance in jungle. And I feel like that's the only way people will realize they're playing with fellow humans. Probably wouldn't hurt to find a duo as well.
@@alexale5488 1 vs 9 bots Ai, Npc. Not humans. A few games feature people, but then more and more games are played with artificial intelligence.
That's why there's no voice chat and games are getting worse and stupider, because they can't program these bots. Mistakes and stupidity (rito) are one thing, but the point is that you play this game more often than necessary. E D I T: The ranking system is also broken. Probably on purpose! He will keep you in Iron and that's it! Or a specific rank. If someone has no life, they will reach Master (if the game doesn't target them, because that happens), but if you don't play a lot of games, you won't advance very high. Your skills are not that important, you have to play! Then he will let you go higher, and without it, you will remain at the rank you are at.
10:30 Flash dubstep ignite... aww man, what a man of culture
Why do so many people play League when everyone seems to be miserable doing it?
It's called addiction..especially many people who play ranked (which on higher elo is governed by a repetitive meta) are so deadset on climbing that they pay with their sanity, enjoyment of the game and common sense. As sb who was stuck in this hell for 10+ years, the most fun I had was playing with full premade teams/friends and just playing for fun. Playing this game alone day in day out on ranked does sth to you and I'm glad I was able to cut it from my life.
It’s free to play and with video games costing 80 dollars now it’s a good alternative to playing an online game. It can play in a 200 dollar laptop. At least in normal games it’s gotten less toxic, sure someone might rage and just be in jungle but it’s not like it was before where they would tell you to end your life if your weren’t good.
this is why i just dont play ranked anymore. fuckit. :V
normal draft memes all day long bb.
oh and arams too.
havnt played mutch ranked ever lol. i ahve tho found a lot of fun in arena and with jgl singed, ap malphite mid and fiddle support/top
good job! ranked is for ranked players and everything else is for you casuals! u figured it out! like you say "thats why i dont play ranked anymore" as if its the games fault, why were u playing RANKED in the first place if you didnt want to have a RANKED experience?
@WorldKeepsSpinnin well this is a dumbass take. Because you can still want to be competitive and have fun. The problem is when you have random douche bags that ignore their own states to focus on yours while you're doing better than them. Some of yall try hards need to be told the cold hard true of "YOURE NEVER GOING TO BE A PRO PLAYER. OR GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF THIS GAME CALM THE FUCK DOWN"
Realistically, League began the downward spiral when the focus was on "omgcompetitiveesports!!".
Was that the game's prime? No, not really, but it was the moment when people stopped playing for fun and everyone wanted tier lists, everyone wanted perfection cause a youtuber or a pro showed perfection, everyone wanted 1v5 because they saw a montage of some random youtuber where they 1v5, it slowly killed the fun of LoL and replaced it with sweaty tryharding because that was all that mattered, meta slaves to the end or you get reported.
the downward spiral was when you clowns stop care of ranked and come ranked play what ever champ and role you feel like it instead of uyou playing what you good at.
and when you guys spend so much time in arams and arenas then q up for 1 or 2 ranked games to only feed.
Idk why people love to beat this "meta slaves to the end or you get reporte" shtick but it's so hilariously false. You CAN play off meta and not get banned. The difference is are you playing off meta and going 0/8+ every game or are you playing off meta, some games you do well, some you don't and it's about 50/50 overall? I've played with plenty of off meta supports like sion, teemo, leblanc, etc. and it was weird but it was PLAYABLE. It's fine to play off meta, no one really cares ultimately at the end of the day as long as you are trying your best and your pick isn't objectively inting if your opposing laner has more than 2 braincells. I saw another comment complaining about "meta slaves" and they said they played AP yuumi mid lane... like no shit you are going to get reported playing AP yuumi mid lane. I'm sorry but yes there comes a point where it's no longer "off meta" and is just inting or soft inting or w/e term you want to use. If I locked in blitzcrank ADC or Thresh JG I would expect to be reported because that is griefing. Now if I'm playing gwen JG or Darius JG or some shit like that it's not the greatest and can be punished but it is playable / workable.
@@YuYuYuna_ The problem is he was using "inting" champions in 2 out of 3 games in this video. And the sole reason he could even win was because the rank he plays in is d0gshit. There is a reason it is meta. I play Sett top which is not really the best toplaner. Just fine, like 50% wr in diamond+ and i can feel the reason for it, He is incredibly slow and easy to punish. Meta is meta for a reason, play draft if you want to "have fun".
That's not a "League" specific thing, though.
It seems that every multiplayer online game is super sweaty and focused around esport.
Most people's idea of a fun casual session is just hopping in on a smurf account and destroying people who are worse than them at the game.
@@marianorivera3272 Because the games are competitive in nature, they arent built for casuals. So they will not be casual. They have casual modes, so play them. Stop complaining about ranked. Ranked is for ranked players, go play draft pick if you want to have "fun" (For you people, "fun" just means you give up on trying to get better at the game)
I dont understand why any of you care if "ranked doesnt matter". Then dont play it.
It's legit sad that nowadays even if you perform well with an off meta pick it's not uncommon to get flamed. You can perform to the best of your ability but if that isn't enough you still get told to kys. Even muting everything doesn't work because just because you can't see the flame doesn't get rid of the self defeating thoughts. "I'm terrible" "I'm not having fun' "I know I can do better" "I need to win" "One more game".
There is a reason for something to be meta. He only managed to do well in 2 out of those 3 games because he plays in gold.
@@hyd3334 If you're playing in norms there is literally no reason for people to flame you for playing off meta. Especially if you're performing well.
@@765craven4 But isnt this video about ranked? Regardless, off-meta is not a problem, especially in draft. In ranked? Questionable. But he was playing teemo supp and sona top which is 2 out of 3 games he has shown. Which are very clearly int picks. I agree with your comment, if an off-meta pick does well honour him, if it does fine, oh well. IF you lose who cares, but if you int reported. Off meta is off meta because its not optimal, if you make it optimal who am i to judge you?
I garuntee you if you were performing well, you would not be flamed because it doesn’t make sense too.
If your team is winning, no one is going to flame because your going to win.
If your team is losing but your doing well, someone or everyone else is losing, and if they are flaming you, that just makes themselves look worse.
I’ve seen plenty of off meta picks, and everyone always congratulated the off meta picker because of the very fact that everyone has super low expectations of the off meta picker, so the fact that you do well is surprising.
@@zeragrogen5129 I've personally had Normal Draft games with picks like Shen Jungle and Tryndamere Mid where we lost despite the fact that I performed very well and had allies blame my pick for the loss despite them losing their lane super hard. Personal experience aside it's a fairly common occurrence in Tilterella videos. Even Bausffs when he does stuff like Smite Sion Support. Sure, those are Ranked, but in all cases if they're getting results why flame? I personally think it's an ego thing.
It's so wild to hear the RUclips short I just watched about southern "bawled" crabs, in a video like 2 days later about someone doing the same exact thing. Afk pushing and watching shorts til respawn... I'm mind blown
When we stopped dancing in the river it all went downhill, it got watered down, buried under skins, terrible balancing and pushing the game into faster, action based gameplay where there simply is no time to interact with each other.
Pentakill 3 concert was my last few weeks with the game, the sunken cost phallacy holds me no more.
the game balance is the best is ever has been as long as you are below masters
@@nartin9 at the cost of identity and clarity, it's clear to me now that i'm League free that it's been going downhill for a while, modernization, emphasis on e-sport, focus on flashy, explosive plays where you can barely make out what tf is happening half the time.
Game got faster, way too fast for my liking and all it's identity and grace just washed away under skins that make you question which female champion it is that killed you in 0.2s
Pentakill forever.
League is over.
@@durandmefew This is a lot of cope, you can just say you got worse at the game. Go watch Faker's outplay on Zed vs Ryu and tell me that wasn't blinding fast, a decade before you claim the game went down the drain.
@@BasicallyMogar I left League some 6 months ago my dude, i've been here for it all and it is slowly degrading into a mobile game. Hell, id say Wild Rift is a more pleasurable League experience than actual pc League.
@@durandmefew More delusions. It's cool man, hope you enjoy your life.
league hasn't been fun since season 4 this old news
Wait, you play this game for fun?
Abusing double sunfire on Shaco... who remembers?!
Adding voice chat capability would single handily improve the game. A username and character dehumanizes players and makes it even easier to be extremely toxic.
Having to speak directly with that other person naturally activates empathy in the brain. You are forced to see that other player as a person even if you hate them. It makes being inhumanely toxic something you would have to purposely try to be.
Secondly, it allows you to explain your actions and intentions. And thirdly, it allows you to do all this without having to stop to type.
There's a reason COD lobbies with all the raging is fun, but league isn't. The toxicity has a limit.
Must be nice to play in NA because voice chat wouldn't do shit in EU.
isnt there already a built in league of legends voice chat? i remember having to manually opt out of it, but it might be something your forced to opt in now.
@@megasora4 There is, but it only allows you to talk with your premade party, not the rest of the team.
And why isn't there a voicemail?
Because they haven't taught Ai how to speak yet.
1 vs 9 bots can only write and play with us. That's why today there are very strange games and results.
If enough people quit Surley I’ll have no choice but to be promoted to challenger
When roles were enforced, instead of 'do whatever you want, decide for yourself'. That's when it went wrong.
I mean that's the natural difference and evolution from peewee sports and the major leagues. Competition to be the best drives efficiency and performance to the finish line
I play ranked since s2 and roles were always forced... in fact people had a better understanding of the game in general because they had to learn a few off role picks in case they had to play other roles. Now you get an autofill jungle and there's a 99% chance you lose that game. And you have no way of knowing that, unless they mention it, since champ select is anonymous.
I am really just struggling to play, draft and quickplay send me to 45+ minute wait times ALL THE TIME, not just in low pop times in OCE.
Yet i queue aram and arena and get 1-3 minute queues all the time, never more than 5 even at low pop times.
i just want to play the actual game but literally cant unless i want to queue ranked and try to play through OCE mid diamond more than i already have. i just want to play top briar instead of try harding on my OTP in ranked.
I don't think there's an inherent problem with the competitive nature of League of Legends.
It's toxic, it's unfriendly, it's sweaty and it's stressful but there is an audience, a rather large one, that seeks that kind of experience.
I don't think the problem is that League of Legends isn't fun, it's that the game has evolved past a point where the casual experience isn't the forefront.
If being the best and constantly challenging yourself in unfavored odds is your type of squeeze, then League of Legends is the pinnacle. For casual gaming, though? You're better off playing Smite or more recently, Predecessor. Or better yet, just don't play MOBAs.
Side Note: I know exactly what RUclips Short/TikTok that boiled crab guy was from. I saw it yesterday. Bro has the most modern, futuristic crab boiling station I've ever seen.
We're now reaching the critical mass of the "Git Gud" era
The first few months of Helldivers 2 was the best casual experience until the fking sweats infested it
You don't even need to love the grind to enjoy league, tho. Just stop caring about all the toxicity, the sweat, all that jazz, and enjoy the game how it supposed to be.
"I don't think there's an inherent problem with the competitive nature of League of Legends.
It's toxic, it's unfriendly, it's sweaty and it's stressful"
I swear you are a victim like many like me so i will tell you why because they can't and btw they have the same feelings and judgments that you have but they have a huge trust issues so they will act and they will blind your vision over the game and break your experience with it ....
it means they must be your problems playing they game so they will rush to tell other about you at the end who can fall into feeding ? the only person who tries most of times even to learn but them ? they bait you even if they have damage and fed cause that's the game when it comes to them "feelings and judgments" and they are not even try harders when even a smurf will try hard in your game for example .....
League stopped being fun for me, but the problem wasn't League, it was my own life. The Lockdown was really bad here, I lost my job, got fat, and argued with my Mom. I was unhappy about my life so I was unhappy in game. The change started with sending 1 resume every few days to a random job on google. After a month I got a job 2 days a week, which gave me the money to buy a gym membership to fix my body. After I lost weight I was fit enough to work more hours. Then I started following my dreams again (I want to be a stand up comic), which helped me feel proud of myself for the first time in a long time. Now League is fun again and I play sometimes 6 games in a row with my friends like I used to when I was a teenager. The game was never the problem, the problem is inside ourselves.
That's a logical fallacy called *Anecdotal* --
You used a personal experience or an isolated example instead of a sound argument or compelling evidence.
It's often much easier for people to believe someone's testimony as opposed to understanding complex data and variation across a continuum. Quantitative scientific measures are almost always more accurate than personal perceptions and experiences, but our inclination is to believe that which is tangible to us, and/or the word of someone we trust over a more 'abstract' statistical reality.
Example: Jason said that that was all cool and everything, but his grandfather smoked, like, 30 cigarettes a day and lived until 97 - so don't believe everything you read about meta analyses of methodologically sound studies showing proven causal relationships.
And.. *False Cause* --
You presumed that a real or perceived relationship between things means that one is the cause of the other.
Many people confuse correlation (things happening together or in sequence) for causation (that one thing actually causes the other to happen). Sometimes correlation is coincidental, or it may be attributable to a common cause.
Example: Pointing to a fancy chart, Roger shows how temperatures have been rising over the past few centuries, whilst at the same time the numbers of pirates have been decreasing; thus pirates cool the world and global warming is a hoax.
@@MangaGamifiedwho shat in your cereal?
Acecdotal evidence is still evidence.
Calm Down Sherlock Holmes.
That's just *Special Pleading* -- You moved the goalposts or made up an exception when your claim was shown to be false.
Humans are funny creatures and have a foolish aversion to being wrong. Rather than appreciate the benefits of being able to change one's mind through better understanding, many will invent ways to cling to old beliefs. One of the most common ways that people do this is to post-rationalize a reason why what they thought to be true must remain to be true. It's usually very easy to find a reason to believe something that suits us, and it requires integrity and genuine honesty with oneself to examine one's own beliefs and motivations without falling into the trap of justifying our existing ways of seeing ourselves and the world around us.
Example: Edward Johns claimed to be psychic, but when his 'abilities' were tested under proper scientific conditions, they magically disappeared. Edward explained this saying that one had to have faith in his abilities for them to work.
*Strawman* -- You misrepresented someone's argument to make it easier to attack.
By exaggerating, misrepresenting, or just completely fabricating someone's argument, it's much easier to present your own position as being reasonable, but this kind of dishonesty serves to undermine honest rational debate.
Example: After Will said that we should put more money into health and education, Warren responded by saying that he was surprised that Will hates our country so much that he wants to leave it defenceless by cutting military spending.
And finally to no surprise, *Ad Hominem* -- You attacked your opponent's character or personal traits in an attempt to undermine their argument.
Ad hominem attacks can take the form of overtly attacking somebody, or more subtly casting doubt on their character or personal attributes as a way to discredit their argument. The result of an ad hom attack can be to undermine someone's case without actually having to engage with it.
Example: After Sally presents an eloquent and compelling case for a more equitable taxation system, Sam asks the audience whether we should believe anything from a woman who isn't married, was once arrested, and smells a bit weird.
@@MangaGamifiedwhat in the chat gpt essay did I just scroll through no one reading all that
@@MangaGamifiedwhat’s weird about the comment to me is it starts off saying “the game wasn’t the problem, my life was” then they explain how their life was going poorly and how it led to them not enjoying league which makes sense, it can be hard to enjoy something when everything else around you makes you depressed. However they suddenly apply this logic to everyone in the end with “the problem isn’t the game it’s you” if that last sentence wasn’t included the comment would just be a personal (and imo inspiring) story about how league felt bad to them specifically when their life was bad and felt better when they improved their life. Idk why they flipped their own story onto everyone at the end, maybe they just didn’t account for their own wording
When I created my account I was like the 50k player to sign up/in. I was an early adopter. I loved playing league. I, still, occassionally, play. But I only play ARAM now and even that is getting old. You queue up, wait for what seems like a lifetime till the game starts, usually have 1-2 people who go AFK or you get bots. The game itself feels like it has lost its identity. I feel as though RITO cares little, or not at all, for its players. Between the 50,000 different champs now, the limited maps and/or game play, or RIOT pushing the micro transactions League doesn't even feel like the same game. It's sad on so many levels.
SR is bad. ARAM is fun.
For me my highlight of playing ranked at the beginning of the year was doing one placement match which gave me gold 3 which was enough for me to be done with ranked for the rest of the season! I only do ranked for the skin reward, the end. Even in normals ppl flaming and sweating at each other about misplays and itemization I really struggle to vibe when the community has become this jaded.
first
nah u lyin
you hacked
Damn you were quicker than me 😢
Hi
No me😤
Leagues toxic community ruined the game nothing to do with gameplay. Always been like that. Smurfs never playing their actual rank, rage quitters, soft-int’ers, trolls, throwers, type racers instead of playing, the list goes on. When the community’s go to joke is about self deleting you know they toxic. Every now and then I get cope and think I can play a few games then I get one of these players my first game and I’m like yea nope.
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE... Riot can't program and repair their bots to behave normally, so they blame the community, and naive people like you keep repeating it.
Funny coincidence you uploaded this video today, I have been playing this game since 2011 peaked Masters and just yesterday i decided i had enough. Deleted this shit never turn back.
I actualy realized few years back that League is not fun anymore. It hit me in a URF game mode. I started to play this game in season 3, anyway Urf in begining was just pure joy I can't explain but people just did whatever they wanted. You wanted to play ADC Soraka on top lane, go ahead play it, you wanted to play AP jarvan, go ahead, like everyone just trolled and played whatever was most fun for them. And then few years back I relized its not a fun game mode anymore, everyone plays zed, lux, or whatever overpowered champion they can think of, like I don't remeber the last time I saw some just generaly playing for fun. I really miss thoes day. One more thing My frined list used to be full of online guys, now when i log in I see one guy playing ranked, try harding for a slightly better banner and skin chroma...
2 views? bro fell off
pls suk it
Was expecting atleast 2k by now
First 30 secs hit me in the nostalgia. I sometimes watch old league vids remembering being gathered round the tv with my mates watching the S4 worlds. or quiet S3 games that are still preserved. The game was so much slower and easier to see as there weren't so many major splash sprites and glittery visuals.
I thinks its valid to have fun and not try to win in normals, but if you play ranked it IS about lp, dont say you are tired of playing for lp and want to have fun but then que up for the next ranked game. Aram and normals are there for you. (not to disagree with rav and i think hes true that its stressful and not fun just to play for lp, but its your coice to make in the client)
I stopped playing LoL a year ago after having played it for an entire decade. But not because I wasn't having fun. I actually was. I've always loved scalling, becoming better at mechanics and more efficient in order to get the long run, that kind of stuff.
The issue was that, after playing the game for 10 years, it's like those 10 years passed in a flash. The reason being: that I have very few memories of those thousands of games. Or more like, I have memories, but not enough or significant enough. Every game was like 30 minutes or so(in average). And the moment you started the next game, you already forgot the last you played.
It was like empty entertainment that didn't improve me in any way other than making me better at the game itself.
League of Legends is the game I've spent the highest number of hours by a huuuge margin, like it's not even close. However, I can think of at least a dozen other games with which I have way more and better memories. And at the end, when I look back, those all seemed like a way better way to spend my time.
(Oh damn, I redacted this like shit. Sorry, I'm about to go to bed.)
the real reason it isnt fun is because if you solo q as a new player....just go ahead and uninstall. one of the worst games I've ever played in terms of actually learning how to play. it seems even when I q'd normal games, my teammates were way over the rank I should ever be playing with as a noob. really fun getting death threats simply for not playing the game since 2011.
l adore the moments when Rav plays enchanters or Sona. You really are saying true things, best to focus on having fun and not caring what the majority says. Just a game, we got to remember the joy of Season 1, how it was being experienced in terms of just having fun
It's overloaded with damage, new £500 skins, tanks that deal massive damage while being unkillable for most squishes. Ranks mean nothing now that you can get the victorious skin by playing enough.
Yeah. You tell me that Tahm Kench can oneshot an ADC just like an assassin can?
Why play assassins then???
you can do this on dota and not be called atroll, there are roamers, 2 kinds of supports, jungles are completelly optional, the champs are crazy fun to play, etc etc
I just play league cause my friends do
do not give this crappy game a chance, dota is just as bad as lol. better to quit altogether
I gave up my ranked climb at plat 1. I realized to get better and make that jump to diamond I would have to play smarter and not fight people so much.
And that's boring af so I said fuck that back to normals
Rav murdered me with the “aatrox came flying in hotter then a spoon at Demi levatos house”.
After climbing to diamond, I stopped playing league alltogether, I couldn't enjoy the game anymore
In my college days I and my friends used to play this game a lot. It used to be so fun. We never played ranked enough just normal SR. I stopped playing it when the squad disbanded as we graduated.
I started league in the very beginning there was no meta often there was no jungler on either team. Just a 5v5 team death match. I switched to ranked which introduced me to the rage and I stopped caring and quit around season 2-3. Then a friend convinced me to try again I played a few ranked matches with him before he showed me a new game type called ARAM and thats all I played till again the rage annoyed me and I quit not long after they switched to the current rune system. Still watch league content once and a while, usually of someone trashing the game.
Picking whoever you want and screwing around with friends. This is still how I play league with friends
I would say that Season 1 to 3 were the most fun times in League, man... those old Autumn/Winter rift maps and the introduction of Dominion or Crystal Scar and especially the classic login screens. Those days man I tell you.
watching you actually have fun with this game entices me to return
I'm not a regular viewer but doesn't Rav do one of these videos every 2 months for the past 3 years? xD
The game isn't particularly well designed for over 5 years and it keeps adding up. It's in a terrible state. RIOT knew this and they did change some things, like removing dodge from the game, but it wasn't enough. Indeed I laugh everytime I remember they removed dodge because it was random but kept crit in the game, then updated the crit "randomness" so it would be fair. If it's fair it isn't random.
RIOT just keeps gluing broken pieces and putting band-aids on their design flaws, which in all fairness could go past unnoticed, except they can't stop with the power creep which increasingly requires mechanics that don't exist in the game to further balance it.
You can't simply give a champion burst, %hp damage, true damage, slow, stun/snare, infinite mana or manaless, low cooldowns, range, move speed burst/dash, shields, lifesteal/regen, team fight initiation, escapes and peel. Meanwhile if you remove 2 or 3 from the above all recent champions have it.
A team game requires a champion's class to be respected, and a champion can't be fairly good at everything to be balanceable and healthy for the game. For a while RIOT tried to end the 1v9 champion mindset, but there is so much damage in the game that almost everyone can delete everyone. It's too fast for new players and most old players alike. It's not even tactical or strategical, the first champion to get caught loses the game for the team, which ironically was the reason videogameDUNKEY left the game and explained why on his "I'm Done With League of Legends" video. This was 8 years ago and the game is far worse than it was at the time.
I firmly believe the game isn't as healthy in player count as RIOT want's us to think, and they know they are losing players and getting hardly no new players. The game has too much everything. Too many mechanics, too many champions, too much grind for new players, ranked is in a terrible state for some years now, ELO was bad for a team game but MMR is also a joke. No new player will have fun being oneshot by hardstuck bronze players with 500k+ mastery on their champ when the new player barely knows what their champion does. Some of the mentioned issues can't be mitigated, but others can.
RIOT won't do a League2 until it is too late. They should have done it like DOTA2 was done, trying to mimic the original but on a DECENT engine. RIOTs client and engine are shit. But non the less it can be improved and I believe RIOT needs to do a full mechanical revamp on their game like it was League2. Remove some mechanics, remove power creep, etc. Of course, for this it would require they stop making champions, 100 champions was ridiculous at the time and it's nearing 200. I have been a player since the BETA I have no personal issue with this, but to keep the game in a healthy state sacrifices have to be made. Having 200 champions is not appealing at all for most new players.
Unfortunately, and in the wise words of Asmongold, "companies only see the money they aren't making and not the money they could be making". So they will drag the games sorry state until there's no one left. I am pretty confident that MOBA's are a product of their time, and just like RTS games were obliterated from mainstream gaming, MOBAs only persist because of their old playerbase.
This is the exact reason I stopped playing many years ago. I always loved playing off-meta weird picks, gangplank support for example (not sure if his kit has changed). But it got to a point where my team would just constantly abuse me for not picking a meta champion causing them to play shit and we would just lose every game from just pure toxicity.
I never gave a shit about winning and avoid ranked because of sweaty tryhards but I do like it when my teammates actually try to win the game and arent soft-inting.
The one thing that would massively improve my enjoyment is if they bring back the old 3v3, dual lane, mode. Twisted treeline, if i recall correctly. That was so fun.
But you're right in your points. It's also why i have really started to enjoy HOTS again. There is no carry syndrome, as everyine shares xp and there are no items. It has been great
I know the most people say not " YOU NEED SKILL blablabl) but when i play a game what have a rank mode then i play rank its the only thing what make sense wiht your time .... normal or arma is time waste not more... but when i see how much people buy acc like "400 lvl acc in bronze" or lvl 30 acc who not play like bronze its very frustrating to play this game and when i see platin-dia is way more ez to play then i dont know .... its like a never ending story.
I'm not much of a competitive player outside of the active match, almost never play ranked, so I'm a big fan of fights over pushing. I often play with friends who are less experienced than I am, so I'll usually end up way ahead of my laner due to matchmaking MMR differences. It was so bad in the beginning that I would just play picks like Leona Mid in an attempt to not stomp the game while my friends were learning.
Now I actively forgo objectives for kills and fights when ahead cause it's simply not fun to push a lane down when I have so much of an advantage. My friends can't really carry on their own just yet, which sucks cause I have lost us a few games over greedy fights, but I would rather keep doing it than putting my sole focus into winning before fun.
One thing i sometimes play is heimer, but i watch the enemy buffs closely and camp them when i think they want to get it. One stun grenade and its over
Holy shit I was the Veigar in the first clip. What a coincidence. I recognized the name Tobben cause we used to play together a lot. He's in some of my season 1 videos as well.
I know League content creation is going through a rough patch right now.. but Jesus It's always sorta amusing seeing all these creators all periodically at the same time make "League is ass now" videos every time their views dip because if there's one thing more popular than league content it's league content about shitting on the game lol
"brush your teeth tonight" is a goated reminder. Thank for that Rav
I play fiddlestick tank in mid, and roaming teemo move-speed demolish tank.
No regrets, the anger from my team fuels my enjoyment.
You should try completing all quests in OSRS without a guide. Would be super fun to see you play through that.
Join the Aram master race guys.
I had fun for 6 years back in 2013-2019 until college happened and got frustrated every ranked game I played, that's when I knew I should stop playing. I still love watching LOL Esports, but I don't play it anymore.
i... ive fallen from plat2 to silver 1 in the span of 3 weeks.
you are missing the point...
Just quit the game, my life is so much healthier without it
Ita pointless even if you reach world rank 1,what does it mean anyway ????
i realized try harding in league was pointless like 5 years ago. I peaked Plat 1 and got to diamond promos but never got to diamond. I noticed in higher elo everyone just wanted to try hard and rage at me for not doing so. I just enjoy doing 4fun builds on my champs and people rage at me every game for it but im at least having some fun
Dude, I used to go bot lane with Wukong when he first came out in 2011. Him, Ryze and Sion were my favorites back then. Twisted Treeline was so cool, cartoony and spooky. Please Riot...make League Classic and I will come back. Edit: you uh...have a link to that crab-cooking vidya?
Honestly if you queued up for ranked you already singed a contract that you are not going to have fun
There was a video a while ago that asmongold reacted to talking about streamers "ruining gaming" and I definitely think at least to a degree that's a big part of leagues change. The lcs turned league into more of a sport than a game and that overcompetitive attitude became more and more prevalent as egos grew and the disparity in skill levels increased. I think there's too many champs to properly balance with items that try to accomplish this balance while completely overtuning others, death timers are too long, no voice chat and a few other gripes I personally hold have held back leagues evolution. It's a competitive game that doesn't want to be competitive so there's no identity and thus no vision.
2:58 I get how you feel on this but I feel it's a matter of perspective and what is fun for you. For me I came to League from SC2 so I enjoy a mix of fighting AND strategy/choking my opponent out of resources in checkmate-like moves where they don't have much counterplay. Instead of 5 manning down mid with baron and 5v5 duking it out I would rather 4-1 split two lanes and get more value off it. Smart league is really enjoyable and fun for me to play. Basing instead of overstaying and giving away shutdowns, recalling 40sec to drag instead of greeding another wave, etc. That stuff is fun to me.
Used to play daily, now i open the game for 2-3 games of Arena at best whenever my friend calls me to play, literally spending entire week playing 2-3 games max. I think my soul has 99% healed from this game. I spend time playing fun singleplayer games now and im so much happier.
relaxing in a normal game/aram after work is nearly impossible without muting my team is nearly impossible but i still find myself watching lol content on youtube. and its hilarious how everyone is friendly in champ select and 10 minutes later im being told to uninstall
Oh that Teemo harrass was so satisfying to watch. Absolutely diabolical.
"...had him flashing me like a drunk chick who was given beads on Mardi Gras." Top 5 Rav quote of all time.
I started somewhere around s2/s3 and it grabbed me for a long time. Now its about 2 years? In which i played little to non league. Its not a fun anymore for some reason as it was back in the days...
well I tried to but they ping me thousand times for choosing an off meta / unoptimized, not ideal champion for that specific role. I always need to collect willpower before trying jungle ahri (not ranked, quick play)
iI quit playing a year ago. best choice ever. I got tired of every match having someone afk's and a second going 0/10 in the first 15 mins. playing against unbalnced champs, that people are try harding at.
This video can teach you two things:
1) How to get challenger 101, literally objectives all day.
2) That if you like the team fights aspect of the game, uncle rito should make a PVP TDM mode on Summoners Rift where you focus more on kills than minions and objectives. That way it'd be more fun and interesting, plus you get rewarded less gold from minions, towers and objectives, but more gold from kills. Whoever has the most kills by 30 minutes wins. Tie results in another 15 minutes. Rito make it happen
Alternate title: Dwarf Hunter gets sick of laning and learns the joys of playing jungle.
Just go play norms, I don't understand the constant need to go play ranked and troll. PLAY NORMAL GAMES, there is nothing wrong with that. There are other things you can play as well. When you become part of the problem the cycle continues. What I used to love about ranked was the challenge, but that is gone. It's usually a stomp fest because people want to grief for no reason. The mental boom I have witnessed the last 3 day has been atrocious.
That 3 and a half minute summary of that many modern online games are was something i felt deeply related to and that resonated with why i'm not enjoying many popular games. Because it's truly not just league, it's most of them. This seems like eternal live service model just prevented gamedevs from being innovative and trying out new things, which led to games being so sweaty and soulless, lacking any vision trying to make something similar to this or that. Not gonna elaborate more on the matter, "Going Indie" have a great video titled "Why dead games are a good thing".
Now if you'll allow me to get personal. I played league since 2012, quit completely in 2017 and never came back since, would quit way before if it wasn't for chill time with my buddy in game-two a day. The reason back in day being the lack of time and life circumstances. Though when i sorted things out and got my hands on pc, there wasn't any incentive for me to play again. Looking back at it, game's downhill'ing, the cc dominance became awfully worse, most abilities are the same reskinned versions of old ones(only something truly new being Renata ult, Akshan revive time reset), gameplay is the same it was 10 years ago if not more meta-this meta-that heavy, queue times seem to have dropped further, amount of rank resets is exhausting. Game became so utterly focused on punishing and domination that only enjoyable thing left was a sensation of prevail over the opponent. Which became more apparent as players began to get desperate and the smurfs became an inseparable part of the game, partially cause for many players it was their only way to avoid being restrained to constant hyperfocusing and meta-abusing to have fun playing freely as they like, trying crazy builds and strats. And the worst thing is? Riot realizes that. Which is why they're not doing anything about so overt thing ruining the experience for many, which could be easily regarded as violation of EULA(with it's vague wording on some points) to justify and taken actions against. Why they're not doing it? Cause they don't or don't want to care, since they know their dedicated playerbase, as well as know that statistically income received from one smurf exceed that of thousands of players who try and drop the game, the whale rule. They could've banned accs which were resold or make process of creating multiple accs more cumbersome, nowadays with everything being tied by hardwareid they can just limit the number of possible accs linked to the same device to, say, three or five. Yet they do nothing, cause they have no solid understanding of that made the game successful or what they want game to be, nobody of the og rioters who was at roots when they separated from dota1 team cause they wanted to share their own perspective on WoW mod, isn't in the company anymore, without getting into details i'll say most of them left because their goals didn't align with those of the higher ups management, who's seemingly primary intent is on making profit from cosmetics while keeping average playerbase occupied with clutter of things so they won't get off the hook.
Anyway, about the state of popular competitive games. After grinding another month in cs on faceit recently, i felt so exhausted for doing that i supposed to enjoy, and i wondered what keeps me going if i don't really care, is it merely to prove to myself that i'm worthy. Later i thought about how i don't like doing it, how it's pointless outside of ego chase, and i can't express the excitement when i got on Splitgate and had a blast, infinitely boosting myself "Portal" style to then fly through the map on insane speed and shoot rocket launcher into random unsuspecting player outta nowhere. The type of fun i didn't had since days of quake. To simply have great time playing without care for that effect will this triple kill have on the outcome of the match, enjoying the jorney. Without any goal of hyperfocusing to carry, most efficient meta or strategy, which is more of a buzzword of genre terminology and don't get fooled, many regular arena shooters and older games have similar if not more in-game mechanics depth and knowledge soaked in them, but they're just way better designed so that you don't have to ever read wiki for hours to gradually get the hang of it or learn a smoke throws/lineups. I feel like i got so much happier playing games without overly fierce attitude and not chasing imposed self-set goal of getting higher ranks to tease my own pride with intentionally bad gamedesign based on superiority over others to prove that i'm better than average, that i'm not a normie. And the immense pleasure of being able to drop the game at/for any time without feeling obligated or having the sense of "missing out" on something. Since i never cared about stats or status, i had that inner understanding which made me know that it's all meaningless and mostly for the showoff, it's all achievable with good enough starting point and conditions allowing for dedication, investment and practice. So this made me realize that it's better to spend this effort on something actually meaningful, and play games for something they were intended for, to have fun.
I don’t even bother playing the rift. I have a full time job and put my sanity and basic survival ahead of the game. I only aram and the amount of quitters in game is growing. Also all the constant changes make it a job in itself just to keep up and adjust
I stopped playing soloq since season 9, it doesn't feel the same anymore, been enjoying TFT and arams + any new game mode since then , much love rav the avatar
I agree before I could play 8,10 even 14 games a day now I q up 1 or 2 games and it's just not fun anymore. If I win it's whatever and if I lose I feel like shit and this is coming from someone that has been playing league for many many years and have been pretty high up in the ladder I hit gm 3 times. But like I said it's not fun anymore all my accounts are now decayed haven't even played a game after split 2 started.
i had to play lulu adc once, and even tho we were winning lane, my support ran it down, and started to roam.
needles to say i got a mute for trolling, even tho i was playing good
I remember playing twisted tree line with my two friends and just always having good time. In that mode we could play who we wanted, still have obj’s, baron esk boss fight with buff reward, and constantly action and fighting cuz it was a 3v3 maybe I’ll come back to the game if they add twisted tree line again
