Hope you're all having a wonderful summer! If you enjoyed the video please let me know :) The next video after this one will be a project I am excited about. Stay tuned for that. Also, ban Neeko in solo queue. GLHF !
but to be fair madreds back then was the bomb item rush
visual clarity and more child like for kids......................................................... gothic content DIED
But today, Kalista pickers celebrated. We're back at 100% AD Ratio on Attacks!
Your content is genuinely very enjoyable. BGM is fine, Voice to BGM volume ratio is good, LoL history is a fun topic. All good.
Maybe consider a QoL update with timestamps. Idk.
Solid video Gbay99!!!
Season 5 was without a doubt the most fun season I've ever played. Thanks for the rush of nostalgia
:)
it was def the most unique it's and very frusterating at times but sometimes frustration builds charater
Same! I got to raise my hand and feel old when he asked who'd even ever seen Poacher's Knife!
I still remember being wowed by the map update, and the old smite buff system was always my favorite era of jungling!
The new map on the pre season and the most fun i had playing as a jungler
It was my first and definitely the most fun
I miss being able to drink expensive tea (mana potions) as manaless champions to flex on people
hahha
You could do that? Didnt know that
Bro I remember doing smite tp trynd top, stealing enemy wolves, teleporting to lane and getting first blood only to spam taunt and drink a mana pot... the good ol days
@@skojuzija Yeah you can, i used to pick Garen with 2 rejuv beads and 3 mana pots vs Shen just to flex on him for having no sustain.
@@KnightPezzthat's a giga chad move tbh, was it in the Era of the top jungle lvl 1?
I'm shocked that Burning Tides and the Gangplank rework weren't touched upon more. It was such a hype lore event that connected so many characters together. All the stories, music, skins we got. Gangplank being deleted from the game because he died is such an iconic part of League history. It was a moment Riot really engaged with us and the lore.
Remember Ruination?
Right now picture that, but the opposite. Instead of shitflinging awful its gold dripping amazing
That was Burning Tides.
Exactly. GP was deleted for, what was it, weeks?
@@channel6ixtycould've sworn it was a week at most. Though the amount of people that complain you would've thought it was a whole year.
@@Looknook1 Imagine being a GP one trick in Ranked and they remove him from the game.
They decided to not do that anymore, because GP players complained about the champion being removed, so , no more lore events messing with the actual game.
Not only is the season 5 nostalgic, but it is also objectively one of the best in history. The sheer amount of interesting stuff that happened..
now they can't even release a new gamemode on schedule xd
@@BuzzyBri and meta are looks like troll, like ivern top mid support, stattik on 60% of mages etc XD
@@scorpdelord883true. Feels like clown fiesta
This is just a rose tinted nostalgia glasses take. I started in beta and peaked in game time in Season 5 due to the fact that it was my first year in college, people then called it the worst season ever because of Fiora rework and Juggernaut update screwed the meta. It was the first year since game's inception that concurrent player numbers actually dropped, plus people were really mad about DFG removal. Only people who kinda had fun were jungle mains, thanks to purple smite making every single champ viable in jungle. But it didn't last long because blue smite ganking champs like J4, Elise, Lee Sin, etc dominated the meta for the entire year
@@Bellicose a rare moment when lee sin was in meta
never forget "I'm stacking my sated devourer" never gank master yi
Yeah but he could 1v5 once it was done lol. I miss that item so much. Sated Devourer Skarner and Vayne jg. Rip
@@dramamine755 i miss vayne jungle
Hahaha i totally forgot about that! and Yeah most of the time he completed it, He would 1v5 Penta or Side line and win so fast. Having Sword of the Occult as well was just insult to injury. GGWP!
Udyr, Shivana, Yi, Warwick, Jax, and Vayne
I don't know about the rest of the community, but I believe season 5 to be the golden age of the game just because of the weird rule: if everything is op, then nothing is. It was so fun for casual play, and for ranked there were so many changes in quick succession that experimentation and theorycrafting were the way to progress instead of following the meta.
If you want "if everything is OP, nothing is", DOTA 2 exists.
@@somerandomgamer8504 I prefer dota2 to league since some years ago anyway, and that might just be one of the reasons why.
Thats what makes league disgusting right now, back then there were 5 or 6 champs op but You were able to play around them due to not absurd mechanics
@@enzorossi9853 yep unlike today where op champs are extremely frustrating to play against
@@somerandomgamer8504 I tried to play DOTA 2 a couple of times, but game feels super weird after playing league for so long. It's so much slower and with such a big map... You just kinda get used to the fast pace of league after years. Oh and another thing is, there is barely any DOTA 2 content on youtube. Like for example, if I don't know how to use a champ in league, I can search for a guide super fast here and there are tons of them, for every single champion, also guides on wave control and so on. Try that with DOTA2... At least a couple years ago I searched and there were only a couple videos from 2 or 3 years ago, if that. So you just kinda have to learn on your own and that's another drawback in my opinion.
season 5 was the season that I started playing and will always be very dear to me. but it was a clusterfuck, and I love that
Season 5 will always be my favorite, it just felt like every lane could make an impact on the game
Yeah, top’s been an island for some time (I honestly take stacking Nasus mid now because it’s better) but back then? Hoooooly crap the whole game could move around top. Nasus wasn’t very good at this time, but Darius was a MONSTER and taking tons of flat AD runes was great for insane lane bullying. Nearly 90ad level 1 was madness on him.
Exil i swear, i stopped playing league and looking at league content this year as i changed games but i still wait for each and every one of your videos, i love hearing about the history of this game, the evolution i saw when in 2020 i touched the game for the first time after playing some matches in 2014 was wat kept me around while i was playing, and thats thanks to your videos too. keep up the crazy good work, love from italy
@@Exil22I don't know if that's heart or ass 😹
@@LeonYuL idk maybe i made some mistakes i’m not a native english speaker what i say is that finding out stuff like season 5 jungle makes me appreciate the game way more than what the present soloqueue experience is
@@pornhubmante I'm just trolling man, don't mind 😹
I loved season 4 and 5 so much, I didnt care about winrates or ranking up, it was all about fun and crazy stuff happening every patch or two
and I think you nailed why I miss the S4 map. It felt like you were in the clearing of a dense forest and it was really atmospheric, and now its super nostalgic.
Old map feels like a MMORPG , like World of Warcraft to be exact. It really feels like it's another game when you think about the past of league, I kinda miss it, even tho I didn't experienced it as much as others, since I started to play at season 4 and one season later it was over. But yeah, that old map, the simpler champions with point and click attacks, and overall more balanced. A support couldn't just oneshot for example, but now almost every supp does this, they can even get into top 1 or top 2 in damage in a game lol.
@@SilverSoulxd League started getting good right around the time when WoW started getting bad. A good chunk of my friend group came to League from WoW.
ye now it's only what koreans dictate what is meta, (which most likely is not it's just what they are comfortable with and retarded westerners deify them lmao)
oh man this video made me so happy and so sad to watch, Happier times - thanks Exil.
Hope Riot can recapture some of this
I really hope they don't, because it looked awful lmao
would love that this would be a series, as someone who only started playing in s10 its really fascinating to hear how league worked and looked back in the day
Oh how Ive missed these long format documentaries. As someone that only started in season 9 I feel nostalgic for something I never experienced
Season 5 will always be hyper nostalgic for me as I started playing the game in early season 5
Thanks for the content, I was just thinking about when was going to be the next time you were gonna drop a video!
I remember this season so fondly, how can't I? I peaked in D1 this season and totally swore off of ranked afterwards
i really enjoyed season 3 and 4 and i was super hyped about season 5 with all the changes and i had a lot of fun back then. Looking back tho its also the time when the game began to get worse.
At that time i didnt feel that way but there it all started and upon the changes they kept making changes i really didnt like.
Nowadays i play occasionally with my friends, lol is still a "good" game in its own regards but not even close as fun as season 3 or 4
Exactly this.
Same thought...peak league was s3 and 4
God I miss season 6 singed. 5 was rough. I was so bad during 3 & 4
Tank meta ZZZZZZzzzzz
@@GlizzyGoblin-wu5ps i take tank meta every time compared to the meta we have now.
tanks were fine back then bit now we have shit like ornn and ksdante who are tank also also oneshot you
Season 5 was when I played the game the most. They changed the game way too much and I simply cant play it anymore. Im sure its all nostalgia, but still. I just miss when the game had simpler champs in simpler times
I climbed from silver to diamond playing nothing but AP ez that season. Good times.
I started playing league in season 5 while i was still in middle school. It might be nostalgia, but i still think that this is the time that playing league was the most fun. I don't play often anymore (a few games every now and then), but i always come back looking for that same feeling i had back then, and realize its hardly the same game anymore. I wouldn't say its better or worse now or then. Just different
This was amazing. You briefly mentioned the Bot-Lane Mordekaiser rework which IMO is one of the most fascinating and confusing reworks of all time. Any chance you're ever going to do a Mordekaiser history video? Or maybe a video just about the juggernaut rework? I'm with you that this period of LoL is my most beloved by far and I love hearing you discuss it.
Tank Ekko, Yasuo and Fizz were season 6 classics
I remember that, ekko was so damn hard to kill lmao
Outstanding video brotha!
Glad you are back, I missed your videos
I will never ever forget about Twisted Fate with his teleport as a basic stun and AoE stun, and Heimerdinger being able to have 5 turrets at once and not having to stay near them (and his passive would regen all allies near him, including the team turrets!)
Those are way older than Season 5, though.
Thank you for the nostalgia Exil. Makes me happy to know someone feels the exact same way about league and it’s seasons.
I remember season 5 so well, i started playing when Bard got released and it was so much fun, the Bilgewater event is still top 3 events of all time for me (might be nostalgia too) and when i discovered what meta was for the first time and i played smite MF mid. Such a great video!
Nice video, great work !! (That moment i saw Paw on Ahri reminds me so many things !
Bro... I can't tell you how much I appreciate you for bringing up those old times. For 12 years now I'm playing this game, and you are the best at bringing up those memories. I sincerely hope you do it more haha
Man what a sad life :( I truly feel sorry for you
im so happy i got to wake up to see a new Exil upload
off to a good start 👀
:)
thanks for the nostalgic trip, from my early middle-highschool days and attending the season 5 worlds. cheers
this was a great video man. Nostalgic for sure. ABOUT TO INT TURN UPPP
Season 3 was my favorite point in league ever. It was chaos. It was heaven.
When exil uploads its a pleasure to see his videos
:)
I remember the Bard release. I was determined to main that champ after everyone deciding it was the absolute worst. Made it feel like a challenge of sorts. Made an alt account 'only play bard' and never looked back.
Bard was truly a bit weaker on release, but his main problem it was a champ completly different that we got at that time, people even guessing he was a jungler!! I think that his problem was that people didn't know to play with him, and around him, he needed a lot of months to actually start working on the game.
Bard was the loading screen when I started!
I started playing league since season 5. It didn't feel that crazy until you brought back all the memories haha. Thanks for the nostalgia
Ty for making this video
Brought back so many memories
I started just when season 4 ended so season 5 Will always be special
The minimap UI issue IMO was not that they moved it but that they reduced the size of the actual UI elements. I remeber this update It was SUPER hard to see the values. comapred to before where I would glance and know.
Its crazy to think I’ve played league for more than half my life. Back in 2012, the game felt so novel, and each year up to 2016-17 the hype just kept getting bigger and bigger.
What a sad, pathetic life :(
Wow.. what a time to be playing League. This is so nostalgic. Great Video!
I love the nostalgia for me in this year- you present it well!
Riot killed all the fun in order to make the pro level balanced.
lmao you're stupid
I lost so much enthusiasm when they reworked sion. Idk about you but i played a ton of ap sion and it was fun and skillful in its own way but you couldnt play it above diamond that well
Season 5 was the season where League went over the peak and begun the slow ride down. Honestly with all the changes made since then I think its fair to say We'll never have a season like the first few seasons, with the Mobility creep, the hyper snowballing, Fights being super quick now due to damage creep, the fact now they treat the champs like they are in a fighting game with bad matchups instead of a MOBA with hard counters. Season 5 kind of feels like it was the beginning of the decline. Mostly brought on by incompetance
Don't get me wrong Leagues still in a healthy place but its lost that Season 2-4 Magic and it'll never get it back
This makes me come back to my first year of League. So much fun moments. Amaizing vid
The quality of the video , and the editing from 0 - 30 seconds was very good job
2015 was the year i startet playing league. 2015-17 was the best time for me in this game. Didnt touched it since 1 1/2 years because its not league anymore, just some fast paced handy brawler.... really a shame.
League trash after that.
This was back towards the end of my time playing, feels like yesterday! Thanks for the memories.
excellent content as usual! I just happened to take a League break during that season xD
Exil.
One thing.
You do it every time.
You treat your community like they were not around, not knowing everything right before you say it.
We wer around. We do know.
We love the content because we love to remember this stuff.
No one starts league now and is like "hehehe i wonder what jungle was like".
Btw this was the first video were you legit made me feel like riot made so many mistakes.
Did DFG and Brutalizer oneshot people? Yes, very often.
Did we all fall in love with Deft and Imp because they could play even though these items existed? Yeah, we did.
Until the big shift, players had broken angles, that would switch around every patch.
So they had to learn and learn again.
With people having to adjust their, mechanics their "weak side/strong side" (/role),. The game was much more then a team game.
Faker, Uzi, Flame and Dandy... Players would dominate their role matchup with actual commitment, that resulted in kills.
Because it was an option. Yet, teams like T1, EDG and Samsung showed, that you could punish that great great individual skill with teamplay.
Today, players farm up.
A solokill is a big fault by the dead player. Not an actual great play by the Killer.
Where is the wish to dominate?
When did pve overcome pvp?
What pro gets a job for being confident... instead of being just one of five instruments?
And most important..
How can a team game survive, when you need to form a team before you can truly experience the game itself?
Good video as always, keep it up.
I think a big answer to most of this is that the playerbase as a whole just became so much better. we didn't do much of minion manipulation in season 5 because we didnt understand it. Back in those times only a few people could do lee sin insecs in elo lower then diamond but if you saw it in gold or lower it would have been a smurf now a days even in iron you see players insec. I think that even when you got something like wow classic and we went back to the first patch and played the same thing through the feelings wouldnt be the same a players are so much better mechanically.
Always good to see an exil upload, hope ur doing well big dog
another great video from Exil (even though I'm late). Keep it up, man!
As someone who started in s4 and played religiously year after year, i love videos like this it reminds me of how much fun i used to have back in the day even though i was trash at the game. I peaked gm this season but have played 2 games these last 2 months and have no desire to get back into it. It just feels like a chore playing it, i miss the days where i would look forward to play it cause there was so much fun shit to do in it.
I started playing during S5 and this was such nostalgia! Thank you 🙏
I have been playing since 2011 on/off and i can literally remember all you talked about, such a great trip down memory lane
I started playing league in season 4 but like one or 2 days a month with friends. after worlds in season 5 I really started my grind on league and fell in love with the game. I got so much nostalgia from this video I also loved playing sona with axe and purple smite in jgl that was so fun.
i could watch an entire 5 hour long video of this. brings back so many memories. S4 and S5 were my most favorite seasons.
Glad you're back best league vids on the entire platform
Season 5 was my very first season. Oh how things have changed. Great video!
i was randomly watching ur video and just realized that ur exile or exiled riven how time flies crazy
Ah nice an Exil video for breakfast. Season 5 was my first real season of league too, awesome subject material!
No wonder I still recall to these days, you made me remember lots of stuff. League was so funny back then haha.
You know it's crazy to think about it. I started playing after Braum came out 2014. I went to university.
I remember, came back from learning. All the doors in my floor were open at the dorm. And I hear an anthem. Opened my laptop and I got a notification about the warrioers cinematic.
Man the epicness. And I got to expreience everything Exil talked about in this video, AND it was my first time experience about league. Now I see why I got so hooked up for many many years.
The quality of this guys videos is insane, keep it up
Glad you enjoyed :)
Omg time flys.
I play League since 2012.
I know play that game since 11 years 😅
Thanks for the nostalgic trip 😊.
You have also grown a lot Exil still remember your old Riven Videos 😂.
the amount of nostalgia you just made me feel is indescribable by words
Devourer with rageblade's passive, tier 2 turrets giving shields, Avarice blade GP farming the sh*t out of top lane, machine gun Ryze rework
Man that was a WILD season, but it was fun as hell
my god i started at the beggining of s5 thank you for this video much love
Great nostalgia trip and history lesson. Thank you
Season 5 has so many good memories for me. I also remember the turret shields for when you were getting stomped too hard lol
For me, after watching and enjoying the qualities and truths this video uncovers.. Conclude you to be the Top G of League of Legends Documentaries.
(Great editing (visual articulation/point conveying))
I love these videos so much, man
I am glad you liked it! :)
I started playing league at the end of season 4, did my placements during preseason and played most of the year in gold 5
I'll never forget how amazing this game felt back then, how hooked I was, how incredible it felt to progress even a little bit. Every little thing I learned, when I applied it in game, I had solid evidence that I was getting better almost every day. Lee sin kicks were like Cod6 quickscopes. When you outplayed a 1v2 or more with a champ like vayne, everyone went crazy in voice and all the moves were named after players. Insec, vayne spotting or gosu moments, madlife hooks, doing an xpeke, trick2g udyr, boxbox riven, the sense of community was there and everyone had fun.
Now you go into games and everyone knows all the mechanics a champion is capable of. Hype moments are few and far between and require true perfection, and even this the reaction is 'clean' and that's it. No names are mentioned, nobody calls a backdoor an xpeke, you're more likely to be called tyler 1 for flaming in chat and that's about it. The reward for improvement? Clown games in higher elos with even more broken, miserable and quite frankly delusional teammates than the lower ranks could ever muster , nobody wants to improve, they just want to make you feel bad when they win, and not feel bad themselves, addiction is a hell of a drug i guess
The pro scene feels like its in its dying embers, maybe not in the east, but they've always had a different system more suited to brutal efficiency of play, the fun from the game is gone, western players thrive under unique novelty, our best results were when we played creative picks and new strategies, there is nothing new left in league, we'll simply move on to different games which havn't been solved yet.
If I could go back and do it all again, I probably would, and maybe I'd be slightly less toxic to my teammates, maybe if we all did that, the game would be different now.
Season 5 is when I started playing and man what a ride it was
I started league right around azir's release (and warriors', I get chills to this day listening to it) so I didn't know I was witnessing the beginning of an era. Old summoner's rift makes me so nostalgic, the jungle monsters, old items and splash arts make the game feel kinda spooky and from a different genre.
While I was hearing about the things mentioned in the video (like ww being broken and all the crazy metas) I didn't experience most of them in my games since I didn't even understand many parts of the game, although I became a skarner main 1 month before his rework and when the changes hit live I actually played worse than before while wondering why the hell everyone was saying he was broken lol. Season 5 was a blast because I remember trying all the champions and learning the game.
Thanks for the video❤
Its so strange seeing this being the "old" league. Been playing this game for so long that the release version is old to me and season 5 is still the "modern" version. I still miss twisted treeline and dominion and many fun game modes that have been removed over the years.
This is when I was a few months into the game and addicted. I’d be playing while watching qtpie stream. Man, the good ole days.
I played through that time and I was thinking "It will never be as crazy as this" and I was astonished by the amount of changes (and quite enjoy the chaos). I'm glab to have been part of it.
Kinda sad i didnt get to experience this - i started playing around mid-season 6
are you planning on making more videos covering seasons in-depth? id love to watch one of these for a season i was there for ^
My first game of league was season 5, but I got really into it season. I remember it being so much more fun back then too.
I honestly would love to see a video talking about twisted treeline, i loved that game mode when i first started playing league and im sad its gone
Bro, that year, along 2014, was my best league year, and especially for Kikis and UOL. I was a udyr and off meta jungler player, and that guy made me look and see my playstyle viable on pro play! For the first time i wanted to really learn the game since S2
From around the A New Dawn cinematic to pretty much January 1st 2016 is the golden age of League for me. I was actually making a script for a video on it before stumbling upon this. Burning Tides is the only thing I have to say to get people who played then feeling extremely nostalgic, still the best even they've ever done.
Im hyped 🎉 thx for the Video❤
There were a few items introduced with the Butcher's Bridge's second(?) release too-I remember one of them being a special type boot that effectively worked like Kayn's E
i cried a little, thanks for the nostalgia
Ah Season 5 the most and last fun season of League... Exil my friend thank you so much for the nostalgia!
I started playing the game at the start of season 5, this video was so nostalgic holy crap
Damn I missed the chance to be a early commenter. Great video, as always! Whenever people talk about Season 5 and/or 6, they speak with such passion and emotion, saying how great it was, how straight forward, simple yet fun was everything back then. Personally, I wasn't there, I saw some League footage, with that legendary TF Jungle match but wasn't very interested in the game. Now, In my 5th year of League, I still think back then things weren't that great, but I wish i could share the love for those awful times.
Bruh the BG music for Buther's Bridge...slaps hard!
I remember listening on it on repeat while playing Summoner's Rift.
Good times!
It's crazy how I started in season 5, never saw old league, but did see all these changes, pretty much. I remember the bilgewater event fondly, and have my own strong opinions into the direction league has gone afterwards. I'm cautiously looking forward to the removal of mythic items next season.
Quality content is always worth the wait. Thank you for once again reminding us of the times when this game wasnt shlt
I remember right after the jungle rework, I was just bored doing ranked and got jungle, which I never really played. So I figured I'd play WW just because it was my first time with him and knew he'd be easy to play. I carried so hard that game I decided to keep at it, and it was the first time I ever hit gold after being hard stuck silver since season 3.
Omg time flys.
I play League since 2012.
I know play that game since 11 years 😅
Thanks for the nostalgic trip 😊.
Was actually just talking about cinderhulk the other day with my buddy, used to take it at bot lane as Soraka, could build warmogs right after, and just tank and heal anything the enemy dished out. I miss those days.
I still play League with my friends, and I havent missed any meta since S2(Near the end of it), and in my opinion, people who got into league after season 6, they missed the most fun League of Legends EVER. Every champion was unique and there wasn't much mobility so ofc no champ seemed outdated like today, I used to main simple champions like TF, Ziggs, Anivia and tried everything ofc, and nowadays i main the most mobile champs like Irelia,Yone,Akali,Sylas, Yasuo, cuz they're fun ngl their learning curve it's fun, but I don't think it beats the simplicity that league had back then. Ty for the vid Exil
I remember one of the absolute favorite builds I've ever played, Blue build Ez. Build all items that are blue (especially the jungle item that gave a mini red buff) with smite on Ezreal. Such a fun time Season 5 was.
"Warrior is the most iconic song riot ever made"
Rise:"am i a joke to you"
I started playing in pre-season 5. It was a WILD introduction to league. Things ever changing, etc. It was a blast.
Season 5 was the season I had downloaded League for the first time. It was right after I saw the New Dawn Cinematic video just by chance on RUclips. I still remember the Bard Screen when loading the client as it was his release. Ahh, good times.
