For as many times I’ve hated this game, there have been 20 times I’ve loved this game. It’s a great game, especially considering how long this game has been top quality. Plus it’s free to play. Even if I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on it, that’s because I’ve wanted to, not because I was forced too.
That bit about it being perfect at 5v5. In hexakill the whole game is vastly different and more fun with one character not being meta. Dual jungle, Double support, double adc, top lane tag team, or just someone to take lanes so no one needs to leave a lane empty. I'm sure if it was permanent there would be a meta but honestly not knowing what that sixth player will do makes it so much more exciting.
I did love hexakill but for some reason 5 works so well for competitive it would be cool to see a more long term version of 6v6, maybe adding an extra minion on each wave or somethin
I think one thing you missed is the diversity and profound impact of items in the game. The way that building differently on a champion completely redefines them; their strengths, their weaknesses, the overall feel of playing them... it opens up so much room for experimentation, and for crafting your build to suit your playstyle and your needs in a lane matchup or team composition.
Hey GBay. Ive known about your channel for a while and watched occasionally but lately as I have been trying to escape bronze I've been watching so many of your videos. Theyre golden and I really love what you do here, and if I ever do escape bronze it will be thanks to you man. Always keep creating please
Just get good with like 3-5 champs and try to have a support main for when you get autofilled One thing that helped for me was to swallow my pride and start by playing the "easy" champions Also try to communicate with your team as much as possible
Yeah, I had a really bad loosing streak where I lost about 10 games and hit me right back to Bronze V, but just today I got up to Bronze IV so im climbing XD
Nicholas Ford, good luck! - Look at the map often! - CS well! - Ping - Stay calm and focused - Help other lanes! - Ward!!! - It's okay to play easier characters! - Focus on one to two roles! Be able to play support! - It's good to let yourself get carried too ^^ - Don't die when you don't need to! If you can trade lives or have to immediately back, it may not be worth it! - Pick your fights!
The best way to escape bronze is to pick one mechanically easy champion(Jax, Annie, Tryndamere...) and only play that champion. In bronze it's not about playing better than the enemie, it's about letting them play worse than you. Games usually tend to be one-sided(at least it used to be like that when I was in bronze), so getting an early lead can help out a lot. I recommend playing jungle or support if you are mechanically bad and/or have high ping, and mid/adc if you are confident in your ability to carry and are mechanically good. I, personality escaped bronze playing Jax jungle(this was back in season 6, my second season, when I was placed in bronze 3 and dropped down to bronze 4). Usually you will slowly climb until you get like a 10 game win streak, then you will make a breakthrough. Anyway, good luck in the new season when you escape bronze!
Hello gbay99! Hopefully you will see this comment. I have a small question. What software do you use to edit your videos? Furthermore, what filter do you use on all your videos as I see the same crispiness and nice colour balance on each video! (if people could upvote this so that he sees my message, then that would be greatly appreciated!!!) Many Thanks!
If you watched this video on the 31st of December, 2018 @ exactly 22:24:55, you would end the year with Gbay's longest video ever! Or just click off now and never come back, probs just as good meme i love you gbay
You clearly haven't watched gbay enough. He's video of behind the scenes about making road to masters was 1 hour 50 mins. That's not even the longest one. The one with he's thoughts about every champ is like almost 5 hours....
Jesus Shaco Some tanks doesn't have mobility, but they build mobility, items like Righteous Glory which even gives slow, randuins gives slow. Also, you can't play around them that much since they got point and click abilities, some tanks don't. But, how you will kite Singed or Olaf?
I listened to this kind of like a podcast. I played it in the background while I was playing league and I thought it was a very well made video. Everything you said seems like you put a lot of thought into it and expressed it very well and expressed your honest and genuine opinion your favorite game. Love you Gbay99
good to see you find your place in the league community with these videos. last I watched your videos i heard you were feeling down but i'm happy to see you bounce back
You even time stamped - god bless Gbay. Some of the stuff I was not /as/ interested in, so it was nice to jump around, come back and all that. Keep up the good work, man!
Gbay you're the best LoL content creator. You actually make solid points and good intellectual comparisons about the game and you think of it on a higher level than a lot of people. Great job man
1:13:57 in GW2 the best tanks also serve as the best supports and take quite a bit of skill to pull off properly, they don't necessarily heal but they provide absolutely necessary buffs to the raid group. Super well done by the way, I had this in background but still alt-tabbed every now and then. Yeah you totally didn't need the gameplay but it was nice at times to showcase points, definitely more suited for a vlog-style video. Keep up the great work.
I think the main thing that's kept me around since S2 is that the highs of League stick with you more than the lows. My only misplay that I can remember was yesterday when I got a bit too optimistic about fighting Warwick on Shen after I killed Jax, and got my face nommed. However, I can still remember a play I made (also on Shen) a few months ago when I killed 3 full-health enemies while at about 1/4 health in the late game. Hell, I can still remember a play I made years ago when I got this huge 5-man Gnar ult in the jungle near the enemy red buff. We won the game off that and I didn't stop smiling for days.
Hey Gbay! Cool video, some nice words about the game we all love and adore, but one thing that stood out to me, that you did not mention was how fun League is to learn. When you first start you have have no idea what youre doing and you are trying to figure out how things work and it is really an amazing experience discovering the game on your own and finding out all "tricks" and facts and stuff you can or should do. I remember it was such a weird moment for me back when I first started a couple years ago, I was looking though the champ list looking for an interesting champion to buy next and i stumbled upon a champion I haven't seen in a game before, despite having played the game for a couple weeks at that time. That champ was Udyr and it was so interesting to me that this guy had no active skills, just different buffs he gave to himself. I was dying to try him out, but at the same time I wanted to play all these other champions and learn more how to play them and get better at them, and in the end it took me a couple days before I actually played Udyr, because even though he was something completely new to me, I was always finding more new stuff and finding out more new information that it was hard to focus on one thing. And that I think is one of the beauties of League too. Just a little bit o reminiscing. Thanks for the vid and keep up the great work! - long time fan.
David Rojas Sorry but we ain't no playboy. A woman can give you consent then call it rape the next day to get ez money. Or she takes your condom so she can get pregnant and sue for child support.
When I started League of Legends, I only did it because I had to play either this or Heroes of Newerth, while waiting for the release of Dota 2. One thing that I remember amazed me in its gameplay (in comparison to other Mobas) is the itemazations philosophy. In Dota, the game is built around the 3 attributes, Strenght, Agility and Inteligence, where specific heroes are oriented to a certain attribute, so when they build it, it also inmcreases their attack damage(not sure if its still that way, however.) Riot decided to remove the complexity from that and just divide types of damage into either magic or physical damage. So they added scaling to the spells, which i found is a very interesting thing of the game. I mean, the simplest things, like that a spell can scale with ability power so hard that it does lots of damage late game seem natural to us, but they werent back in the day. the game started focusing harder on the gameplay than the graphics, and later, when they already had established a pretty unique and smooth gameplay, the focused on making the game look cool
I am a Diana onetrick. There are quite a few things i like about her: - even though she has a simple concept it is hard to play her good (if you're bad you might get kills but you die just as often) - over time you learn small Details that change quite a lot (her e can stop rammus when he's rolling towards you) - because a lot of people forget her they suck at that matchup and people underestimate the damage she can do - nobody picks or bans her - i can learn the makro game without having to struggle with the champion Playing nearly only Diana for most of season 7 made me have a 70-80% winrate in that preseason (havent played too much S8 rankeds yet)
I like long talk videos like these. Cool to listen to rather than visually watch. League's ranking system is keeping me highly motivated to keep playing, compared to any other game. My mmr has been increasing after each season and it feels so good to improve. I'm aiming for diamond since I finished with platinum in season 7. League will be here for such a long time if the Riot team keeps doing what they are with the game.
The part about the map is blank for me in the video idk why. So around 34 to 39 minutes the screen is just black. Awesome video man I am absolutely addicted to watching your documentaries! Thank you for all of your hard work!
Your description of Xerath is the main reason I love Lux (although she's usually considered easier). Gotta make sure my teammate don't dodge the shield!
1:22:37 I don't know viegar very well, but Nasus is a true raid boss juggernaut. He gets pretty tanky and can potentially one shot anyone, but he has trouble getting into range to get that one shot. He actually falls off super late game when ADCs are full build, and supports have max cdr on their cc.
But like real shit, gotta tip my hat off to riot. Love her or hate her rivens design and complexity has puzzled me for many years. Her kits been nearly identical since her release, and her skill ceiling is insane. Idk any other champ has had such a love hate in the community but still holds such a difficult kit to manage, mainly referring to animation cancelling.
16:47 - Well managed by Riot I really am glad riot has league, and the fact they make so little out side of league, is amazing, it allows them to focus on it so hard that the game is amazing. Steam has so much that nothing is supported an 90% of games they make die in a year.
actually gbay i think balancing nasus and veigar are actually very easy to do, all you have to do is figure out the average game time, and since you can control the minions spawn timer, you have to make it so that these characters can get enough damage to be useful by a certain time mark. You can just adjust the amount of damage they gain per minion kill without going too overboard or making it too underwhelming.
Great video! My only nitpick would be, as a support main, I really wish you had better insight into the support role. I know you don't play it, in fact I've seen you dodge games when you got assigned support, which I find very unfortunate, but I for one would love to watch you "discover" the support role. Make it a series or something!
Huhu :) I don't really know who you are, but I guess it is fine because you also don't really know a thing about me. What I would like to do is say thanks for making such great videos which all mostly amble along gaming. It is hard to describe, but all the way back when the first one of your videos was suggested to me by youtube I already enjoyed the way and stile you use. After I managed to land on three of them, I began to consciously remember you and take the 'gbay99' as some sort of quallity. Now I still only saw very few of your videos, however in each single one I found that this thoughtful and admirable meaning does exist and I'm greatful to see someone presenting it that well. Clearly you are aware of what happens to you and just the way you are filling it into a learning experience on a philosophical approach feels inspirational to me. All of this would easily go into a small 'thank you', but I like to make it a little bit more meaningful even if it only is from a stranger to a stranger and surrounded by strangers^^ And if you have read all that far you may think alike, so why do you not also leave some kind words below for someone you apparently enjoy watching as well? Alrigthy, finsihed here! Goodbye says Phy :)
When you were talking about people playing for a long time and people never getting board, I was also thinking of how a person can play for a long time not be that good. I've been playing since season 1 (took a small break here and there) and I'm only in Silver. Gold has been my goal for YEARS. Ah well, lets see if I can do it this year. Still love League Stories of amazing time in Leauge E-sports history? TPA winning season 2. Need I say more.
I bounced from role to role for about six months, trying everything else before settling into the adc role. It's always fresh for me, even as a "one trick", because I have no idea what support I'll be with.
The only league youtuber that makes interesting discussion content. Incredible how much you put into these videos. Thanks for continuing to do what you do
I really agree with you about basic things just being fun in League. Like moving and auto attacking. It's just fun and feel good. I tried playing Dota 2 after playing League and I hated Dota 2 because it felt so sluggish and unresponsive. I immediately went back to League because it just felt better to play.
I just watched this entire video begining to end, and I loved it so much. As some one who mains mid and support I especially loved what you said about lane, and everything you said about supports. I agree with almost every statement I this video. The only thing i disagree, is what you said about ADC. While its true that most DO focus on autos, there is one example that is different and that is MF. Her autos (aside from her pasive auto) are horrible. So she has this interesting mechanic where she doesn't sit back and auto like most ADCs.
Amazing to see how much effort you actually put in to these videos. It’s hard to not see how much you genuinely love to work with this kind of stuff. I think you would do very good in something that has to do with gaming development or something like that. Aim for that, you would fit perfect for it!
I think this is actually a very good video. League can be so toxic sometimes and i think that its good to step back and appreciate what this game has done and why it can be so fun/addicting to play
I think what makes League of Legends fun compared to most other games, is its abundance of skill shots. I only wish it had more of them and less point and click abilities.
I've been slowly chipping away at this video but it's kind of hard bc I lose interest in things fast and normally when I watch like LCS or a league youtuber play League it just makes me itch to play league so that's distracting me lmao. But it's been a great video so far.
Awesome content. Thanks for posting as someone new to the scene the history was very interesting and the more i play and learn about this game the more i can appreciate it.
Just dropping by to say that the whole deal with turn rates is super subjective. You may feel like turn rates makes the game muddy, but honestly not having it feels unnatural to me. Also turn rates are a very important part of game balance
yo, you touched on the starcraft-map balance thing: there are alot of different reasons why maps are STILL not balanced and balancable. first of all do the different races expand differently (a zerg for example usually takes greedy bases in "bad" positions because he can get away with it were as a protoss can absolutely not), more importantly tho do the different units influence map dynamic alot. everyone playing SC2 for a longer time now remembers how INCREDIBLY broken the siegetank-medivac harrass was on certain maps. the BIGGEST problem are 4 player maps tho as the spawns on these maps are completely RNG. you could spawn cross-map from each other and by perfectly mirrored, you could however both spawn on the west side and have one of the players be completely fucked because he would have to expand towards the enemy or something equally as bad
I love the video gbay and we all really appreciate the effort you're taking here. Also, if you like the movement in league, try warframe. The movement in warframe is so intentionally well made and I'm sure you'd get a kick out of it
hey gbay i was wondering do u think roit is so good with lol because they don't have to micromanagement different games, unlike the others ie blizz, valve, and such? also just wanted to say wow great vid, it seems like u rly put ut heart into this one, keep it up :)
The thing with quitting this game is that you can't sell any of your shit except for trying to sell your account. The reason I was able to quit CS:GO and Dota 2 is because I sold all the items I had for games on Steam, and because none of my friends played these games anymore, playing them got boring, and so I quit. In league I can't do that so there is the money aspect that keeps making me come back to this game. Eventually you lose the great feeling that you get from a game and only feel the bad emotions when you feed, lose and make the wrong decision. I think if I could sell all my shit in league I would've quit this game months ago.
Dude, this video was awesome, it may remind me what I love about the game too and make me enjoy it like I did before, thanks a lot and keep up the good work❤
The thing about elise is that she is so good but no one plays her in na. She is actually played alot in Korea because of how good she is. The problem with her is that she is good but it's hard to play her
Is lol done growing? I'm not asking if it's dying because i believe that even if all of a sudden no more people download the game and then people start leaving lol has a big enough core fanbase to sustain the game. Like how even before the remaster cod4 had enough people to find a game of tdm. I'm asking has lol reached its peak? Are future and planned update geared towards maintaining that player base or bringing in new players? I recently made a new acc and on my way to level 30 and in most matches something like 8 out of 10 players were smerfs too. And not once was i the only smerf.
ishmael arc that's because lol has an algorythim that looks at your in game stats to decide if you are a smurf or not. If the system thinks you are a smurf, you get put in "smurf queue" with other smurfs and higher ranked players. Thats why you are seeing so many smurfs.
ishmael arc i think for the most part lol has stopped growing (or is atleast growing very little). Riot once released data each year on how many people were playing. I believe they stopped doing that around 2015, and to me that’s a pretty good indication, that its not growing much (or atleast not booming the way it used to).
unbelieveable how much effort you put into your videos
???
Taedrem what?
sarcasm or serious?
you think he got the 10 min ads yet
MarreTheMan nah m8
I think he's got 10 minutes of video left to go
he would if it was considered "advertiser friendly" but he does video games on youtube so ... DEMONITIZED
@@absenteechild8542 is good xbbuscience uibut ya know it it was all

You´re one of the only RUclipsrs who can make me watch an entire 1½ hour video in one sitting. Well done gbay!
Ima finish this vid next year
Or after I sleep cause it’s 4:30am for me
Raymond Ly i read this, checked the time for me, and it was 4:30 am. I’m going to sleep now, thanks bud.
You misspelled silverware.
(EDIT: holy shit gbay liked my comment)
Kayn is misspelled in the description

Yeah, I had a really bad loosing streak where I lost about 10 games and hit me right back to Bronze V, but just today I got up to Bronze IV so im climbing XD
Maybe you will eventually be golden too.
Like me.
Nicholas Ford, good luck!
- Look at the map often!
- CS well!
- Ping
- Stay calm and focused
- Help other lanes!
- Ward!!!
- It's okay to play easier characters!

- It's good to let yourself get carried too ^^
- Don't die when you don't need to! If you can trade lives or have to immediately back, it may not be worth it!

The best way to escape bronze is to pick one mechanically easy champion(Jax, Annie, Tryndamere...) and only play that champion.

Hello gbay99! Hopefully you will see this comment. I have a small question. What software do you use to edit your videos? Furthermore, what filter do you use on all your videos as I see the same crispiness and nice colour balance on each video! (if people could upvote this so that he sees my message, then that would be greatly appreciated!!!)
Many Thanks!
Prospect Beats He does not use software he uses silverware ;)
Haha ya but for real what does he useee :angry:
Prospect Beats I have no idea, just had to drop That joke. Hopefully Someone can actually help You out :)
:( hopefully!
If you watched this video on the 31st of December, 2018 @ exactly 22:24:55, you would end the year with Gbay's longest video ever!
Or just click off now and never come back, probs just as good

That's not even the longest one. The one with he's thoughts about every champ is like almost 5 hours....
Tanks. Unkillable, massive damage dealing tanks. Especially Maokai. :^)
You spelled ornn wrong
The Ace Of Spades
Ornn is stronger, but he will get nerfed. A lot. And after nerf, Maokai will dominate again.
Tanks: immobile, short range, and especially easy to play around.
Just got 1vs1d by Maokai as fed Lucian with inferno drake at masters, FeelsBalancedMan
Jesus Shaco
Some tanks doesn't have mobility, but they build mobility, items like Righteous Glory which even gives slow, randuins gives slow. Also, you can't play around them that much since they got point and click abilities, some tanks don't. But, how you will kite Singed or Olaf?
35:00-37:15 black screen? ^^
I thought my monitor had blown up
Yeah. I was playing the video in different browsers to make sure it wasn't my players fault.
Same. Wonder why more people didn't mention this.
Im 5 seconds in the video but im sure that its the hentai

1 hour jesus
actually its one hour, thirty five minutes, and five seconds.
Aysar Aburrub and 23 microseconds 45 nanoseconds
And you're all virgins.
What?
@David Rojas .. you say this as if it's supposed to be an insult.
David Rojas Sorry but we ain't no playboy. A woman can give you consent then call it rape the next day to get ez money. Or she takes your condom so she can get pregnant and sue for child support.

Thanks for giving me something entertaining to listen to while I cleaned my house, haha. It was timed almost perfectly.
I am a Diana onetrick. There are quite a few things i like about her:
- even though she has a simple concept it is hard to play her good (if you're bad you might get kills but you die just as often)
- over time you learn small Details that change quite a lot (her e can stop rammus when he's rolling towards you)
- because a lot of people forget her they suck at that matchup and people underestimate the damage she can do
- nobody picks or bans her
- i can learn the makro game without having to struggle with the champion
Playing nearly only Diana for most of season 7 made me have a 70-80% winrate in that preseason (havent played too much S8 rankeds yet)
As a non-American I have got no idea what are all these NFL references you're throwing at us, but still enjoyed the video. Great work, keep it up!
I like long talk videos like these. Cool to listen to rather than visually watch.
League's ranking system is keeping me highly motivated to keep playing, compared to any other game. My mmr has been increasing after each season and it feels so good to improve. I'm aiming for diamond since I finished with platinum in season 7.
League will be here for such a long time if the Riot team keeps doing what they are with the game.

He actually falls off super late game when ADCs are full build, and supports have max cdr on their cc.

What a time to be alive.
Gbay is the guy you go to watch after you get tilted to lift your spirits. Every video is just relaxing analytics. Keep it up ✌
But like real shit, gotta tip my hat off to riot. Love her or hate her rivens design and complexity has puzzled me for many years. Her kits been nearly identical since her release, and her skill ceiling is insane. Idk any other champ has had such a love hate in the community but still holds such a difficult kit to manage, mainly referring to animation cancelling.
This is a long one, I'll watch it when I get home and hear thiccbay's soft whispers on my ear whilst snuggling with my doki doki body pillow
16:47 - Well managed by Riot I really am glad riot has league, and the fact they make so little out side of league, is amazing, it allows them to focus on it so hard that the game is amazing. Steam has so much that nothing is supported an 90% of games they make die in a year.
Just to let you know Steam is just a place where people sell games... Valve (the company that made steam) only has like 3 games that they still update
i know
90% of games they make die in a year? Almost every single game Valve ever made is a classic that will be knowen for decades still
I feel like Yasuo is the smoothest champ in the game. All his abilities work perfectly together. One of the best champs in game imo
And one of the worst designed champions to play against as well
Reece Robin no, he’s just a noob-trap. Grow up
Carrot 2 No but even if that were true, well designed champs aren't noob traps
What are these long black bits in the middle of the video?
actually gbay i think balancing nasus and veigar are actually very easy to do, all you have to do is figure out the average game time, and since you can control the minions spawn timer, you have to make it so that these characters can get enough damage to be useful by a certain time mark. You can just adjust the amount of damage they gain per minion kill without going too overboard or making it too underwhelming.
Great video!
My only nitpick would be, as a support main, I really wish you had better insight into the support role. I know you don't play it, in fact I've seen you dodge games when you got assigned support, which I find very unfortunate, but I for one would love to watch you "discover" the support role. Make it a series or something!
I'm 34 mins in and I love this format. I can hear the passion and like being part of the conversation. Thanks for the video.
I will never be able to talk about what I like for 1h30m in a monologue situation. Good Job
Everything I love about league 1hour 35min everything I hate about league- never ends
Man. Listening to gbay is just idk. He's such a smooth talker and has such a nice voice. He would make an excellent teacher
Huhu :)
I don't really know who you are, but I guess it is fine because you also don't really know a thing about me. What I would like to do is say thanks for making such great videos which all mostly amble along gaming.
It is hard to describe, but all the way back when the first one of your videos was suggested to me by youtube I already enjoyed the way and stile you use. After I managed to land on three of them, I began to consciously remember you and take the 'gbay99' as some sort of quallity.
Now I still only saw very few of your videos, however in each single one I found that this thoughtful and admirable meaning does exist and I'm greatful to see someone presenting it that well. Clearly you are aware of what happens to you and just the way you are filling it into a learning experience on a philosophical approach feels inspirational to me.
All of this would easily go into a small 'thank you', but I like to make it a little bit more meaningful even if it only is from a stranger to a stranger and surrounded by strangers^^
And if you have read all that far you may think alike, so why do you not also leave some kind words below for someone you apparently enjoy watching as well?
Alrigthy, finsihed here! Goodbye says Phy :)
When you were talking about people playing for a long time and people never getting board, I was also thinking of how a person can play for a long time not be that good. I've been playing since season 1 (took a small break here and there) and I'm only in Silver. Gold has been my goal for YEARS. Ah well, lets see if I can do it this year. Still love League
Stories of amazing time in Leauge E-sports history? TPA winning season 2. Need I say more.
Finally one who talks about good things in league instead of hearing people flaming the game all the time even tho they play it them self
I bounced from role to role for about six months, trying everything else before settling into the adc role. It's always fresh for me, even as a "one trick", because I have no idea what support I'll be with.
What in the world. Here I clicked on the video expecting 10 minutes, damn... I've got my night set out and ready for me now
The only league youtuber that makes interesting discussion content. Incredible how much you put into these videos. Thanks for continuing to do what you do
I really agree with you about basic things just being fun in League. Like moving and auto attacking. It's just fun and feel good. I tried playing Dota 2 after playing League and I hated Dota 2 because it felt so sluggish and unresponsive. I immediately went back to League because it just felt better to play.
The hentai?
yes
double yes
Triple Yes

I just watched this entire video begining to end, and I loved it so much. As some one who mains mid and support I especially loved what you said about lane, and everything you said about supports. I agree with almost every statement I this video. The only thing i disagree, is what you said about ADC. While its true that most DO focus on autos, there is one example that is different and that is MF. Her autos (aside from her pasive auto) are horrible. So she has this interesting mechanic where she doesn't sit back and auto like most ADCs.
id like to see this video remade 4 years later, see what has changed or added
Just remember to keep improving and putting in your 100%. You have amazing content and analyses. Keep it up
Amazing to see how much effort you actually put in to these videos. It’s hard to not see how much you genuinely love to work with this kind of stuff. I think you would do very good in something that has to do with gaming development or something like that. Aim for that, you would fit perfect for it!
Hey gbay. Your content is simply amazing. It gave me a lot of understanding of league. Love you ^^
Nice effort put into this vid hopefully people watch the whole vid.
I think this is actually a very good video. League can be so toxic sometimes and i think that its good to step back and appreciate what this game has done and why it can be so fun/addicting to play
Walking around in super fun in TF2. TF2 had classed based combat that was around before League. Tf2 pretty much relates to most of the things you say.
The best part that you are doing videos because of league.
#ILoveCrawlingUpYourButt
Hey gbay im from Brazil and i love this channel keep up the good work, this is a quality video
Gbay my man back at it again with quality content
I really like that you did this video, seeing that you are so negative (while still being realistic) most of the time. Much to watch now. ^^
Gbay, I have always liked your videos from eating a sock to talking about silverware, but this is getting ridiculous. I love it
I think what makes League of Legends fun compared to most other games, is its abundance of skill shots. I only wish it had more of them and less point and click abilities.
I've been slowly chipping away at this video but it's kind of hard bc I lose interest in things fast and normally when I watch like LCS or a league youtuber play League it just makes me itch to play league so that's distracting me lmao. But it's been a great video so far.
Gbay back at it with quality 1.5 hours NFL content
Awesome content. Thanks for posting as someone new to the scene the history was very interesting and the more i play and learn about this game the more i can appreciate it.
Holy moly, Gbay, this is quite the video.
oh bby *rubs hands in anticipation* this is what I've been waiting for.
Just dropping by to say that the whole deal with turn rates is super subjective. You may feel like turn rates makes the game muddy, but honestly not having it feels unnatural to me.
Also turn rates are a very important part of game balance
When i saw the title i was sure the lenght is 1 minute and 35 seconds LUL
yo, you touched on the starcraft-map balance thing: there are alot of different reasons why maps are STILL not balanced and balancable. first of all do the different races expand differently (a zerg for example usually takes greedy bases in "bad" positions because he can get away with it were as a protoss can absolutely not), more importantly tho do the different units influence map dynamic alot. everyone playing SC2 for a longer time now remembers how INCREDIBLY broken the siegetank-medivac harrass was on certain maps. the BIGGEST problem are 4 player maps tho as the spawns on these maps are completely RNG. you could spawn cross-map from each other and by perfectly mirrored, you could however both spawn on the west side and have one of the players be completely fucked because he would have to expand towards the enemy or something equally as bad
Ill watch this over the next week
Adcs can also play jungle/mid/top btw :) They aren't really restricted to bot only
THANK YOU GBAY I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING SUCH A LONG VIDEO I LISTEN TO IT AT WORK :D
Holymoly feature long film from gbay!!!
thx for this video man! opened my eyes again what an amazing game league ist
Not gonna lie if I were you I'd have made this an entire series, props to you I guess for not selling out though
"supports constantly beeing abused" YES! I feel abused by bad teams and espacially by Bad ADC´s D:
I love the video gbay and we all really appreciate the effort you're taking here. Also, if you like the movement in league, try warframe. The movement in warframe is so intentionally well made and I'm sure you'd get a kick out of it
why do I feel like you've made this topic 100 times
I actually watched the whole thing, gg Gbay.
Damn dude this video is massive. It hits lots of points which is cool but would've probably been better chopped into a series
I would have split this into 3 or 4 parts and release them in between major vids! props on doing it in one!
hey gbay i was wondering do u think roit is so good with lol because they don't have to micromanagement different games, unlike the others ie blizz, valve, and such? also just wanted to say wow great vid, it seems like u rly put ut heart into this one, keep it up :)
I could listen to this as an asmr video.and I'll probably fall asleep faster than an actual one
The thing with quitting this game is that you can't sell any of your shit except for trying to sell your account. The reason I was able to quit CS:GO and Dota 2 is because I sold all the items I had for games on Steam, and because none of my friends played these games anymore, playing them got boring, and so I quit. In league I can't do that so there is the money aspect that keeps making me come back to this game. Eventually you lose the great feeling that you get from a game and only feel the bad emotions when you feed, lose and make the wrong decision. I think if I could sell all my shit in league I would've quit this game months ago.
Dude, this video was awesome, it may remind me what I love about the game too and make me enjoy it like I did before, thanks a lot and keep up the good work❤
The thing about elise is that she is so good but no one plays her in na. She is actually played alot in Korea because of how good she is. The problem with her is that she is good but it's hard to play her
Is lol done growing? I'm not asking if it's dying because i believe that even if all of a sudden no more people download the game and then people start leaving lol has a big enough core fanbase to sustain the game. Like how even before the remaster cod4 had enough people to find a game of tdm.
I'm asking has lol reached its peak? Are future and planned update geared towards maintaining that player base or bringing in new players?
I recently made a new acc and on my way to level 30 and in most matches something like 8 out of 10 players were smerfs too. And not once was i the only smerf.
ishmael arc that's because lol has an algorythim that looks at your in game stats to decide if you are a smurf or not. If the system thinks you are a smurf, you get put in "smurf queue" with other smurfs and higher ranked players. Thats why you are seeing so many smurfs.
ishmael arc i think for the most part lol has stopped
growing (or is atleast growing very little).
Riot once released data each year on how many people were playing.
I believe they stopped doing that around 2015, and to me that’s a pretty good indication, that its not growing much (or atleast not booming the way it used to).
Benjamin Schröder just like wow used to and we know they tanked hard after warlords
