  • League of Legends esports has now existed for well over a decade. During this time players from all around the world have had opportunities to make complete careers out of becoming professional gamers. However, despite the widespread success, the representation of females in the space has been non-existent. Though, some "teams" have made attempts.
    Team Siren was one of these teams.

The 'average man vs average woman' argument doesn't work when you're talking about one-in-a-million, tip-of-the-bell-curve exceptions to the norm, which is what people like Faker, Chovy, Showmaker and so on are. The primary reason there are no female players at that high of a level is that there just aren't that many highly dedicated female League players to begin with. Also, there's a stark difference between LCS competitive and LCK/LPL competitive too (to the point that most teams in NA have Asian players in them, but no successful teams in LCK/LPL import from NA) but that doesn't mean Asian people are genetically predisposed to being better at League.

Women are better at people(unless it's other women they feel threatened by) and feelings etc. Sure there are women that's more compeititve than your average man but they are not more driven or competitive than the most driven and competitive man. It's really simple, how many women/girls do you know(of) that grind and actually try to improve at a game, we talk 10 hours+ per day for years. Sure there are some streamers but in my experience they are more driven by social networking and their community than the game itself. There are always exceptions but they are very rare. Adding to that gaming is traditionally a male hobby. I don't see this as a sexism issue or whatever as some would have you believe, men simply enjoy, competitive, games more for whatever reason. If anything I have seen multiple female gamers(that's decently good but nowhere near pro-level) getting to take shortcut by playing with real pros and learning from them.

    I feel like there a tension here that makes it hard to make it as a female player. It's probably not an accident that a lot of these women are unusually beautiful; that's a trait that's great for marketing, especially to young men, and it's likely a large part of the reason they got so much attention. But the most beautiful players are not necessarily the most talented. I'd be curious to know if a league were formed of women who were just the best female players in the world regardless of appearance could do well.

      We won't and it is never happening as it is based on natural reasons. Women, in general, are a lot less interested in competitive video games compared to men - this mostly comes from their biology and the same could be seen in traditional sports (that's why women football and basketball is basically laughable compared to the men). I could see it changing but it would require a gigantic culture shift and trying to encourage young girls to try as hard as they can to become good in a video game which, as it is proven, most girls are not interested in. It is not an underrepresentation issue and it will never be. That's how we as humans are and we should accept it and leave it as it is. There could be a successful individual cases in the future but man will still dominate the scene because they are simply better at competitive e-sports. We could potentially have an all-women local league but then do you think people would be able to assemble at least 10 teams of women ready to compete at this level? And do you think that people would actually watch that gameplay? I do not think so.

      You can cry about "misogyny" if you want, but the fact is that most female gamers play into this. I started avoiding any lfg posts where the host is obviously a girl gamer because they always behave the same way. They flirt and talk about sex, play poorly because they seemingly aren't paying attention, and I've actually been kicked by multiple parties after it's mentioned that I have a girlfriend. I'm assuming they do this because they can get carried easier by thirsty kids, but honestly I don't know.
      Either way, after a couple dozen experiences like this, I just started avoiding them. If someone doesn't mention that they are a girl/doesn't have some thirst-pic as a gamer profile, I wouldn't care and I'd give them the same chance I give anyone else. But by the actions of the girls I've played with I've learned that if I want to have fun and have some good games, don't play with girls. They are too toxic.

How do you expect women to perform in games that require call outs and lost of gaming experience??? point being. its harder. guys will never understand what its like to be a girl because when we get hate on the internet you turn the other way. when there is a weird pushed narrative that when have it easy.. we get more harassed. imagine being 9 and having guy in lobbies hit on you. or be in lobbies and people simple think ur just a little boy. or being a girl and getting kicked just because they think ur jailbait or a pedo.

    Imma be honest, the best female gamers I know, not including myself bc I'm not really good at league, they don't want to be professionals because it's too much training time.
    Having to play everyday between 4h to 8h is too much for anyone that has a more social life style, and the girls that aren't sociable don't play games like League, because it's not a game that makes them feel welcomed by.
    So there's a lot more issues with a girl gamer being PRO aside from the fact they need to be good.
    They just don't want to go through that torture, and more often than not, they don't need to.

      I would say it's more about understanding that men are tossed into annything without any support and uplifting from anyone in 99% of life, and when you are used to that, being flamed in a compedative game just becomes backgrount noise you can tune out and focus on being better, since only women and dogs are loved unconditionaly, and a man is only loved with the condition that he provides something, and in gaming that is generaly skill or entertainment to the audiance of said game. Things where you have to eaither be at the top, or fail misserably, since gaming in it's primal form is pure meritocracy.
      Women on the other hand have grown up from the verry beginning being loved unconditionaly and given things without even puting in effort, so when they enter a meritocracy, to them it seems like bullying.
      Thies are the general treatments in western societies of the genders, men are worthless unless they are usefull, and women are held up even when usless.
      If you REALY want women in a meritocratic field, you need to make them adapt to meritocracy, or you will eaither kill the field due to it not being meritocratic annymore, or failing all the women you force into that field who cant adapt.
      All in all, men like meritocracy in general, due "fair play" that they learn while being challanged cooperating and competing from the get go, while women close to never get that mindset due to them being sheltered and already loved so meritocracy would be a downgrade over the sophistry they are used to

      no that is not how it works, they were already far too old to even being. You do realize that esport players begin playing their respective game at early ages like 8 - 10 yrs old and then play that game for a decade with thousands of hours and they already had great talent to begin with, in Starcraft 2 an example is CLEM, he was only 17 I believe when he became top three terran in world (one of the only players not from south korea lmao, instead he's from france!) and at that point he had already been playing for over 7 years, the same game for hour almost everyday.

There is no physical reason for women not to be excellent at gaming unlike in sports. Women just aren’t built to rise to the top. There is no evolutionary advantage to it at all. Men on the other hand live by a different set of evolutionary rules. It’s the truth.

    It will be very difficult for any female player to do well even if they have the skill, due to the fact that a lot of media outlets and the public will attribute the outcome to her being a girl, and not to her actual skill. It sucks that girls and women are going to have this uphill battle in eSports and gaming in general. Hopefully there will come a day where people don't care about your gender, and care more about what you do, but I doubt that will happen in the world at present.

    • @HauntingSpectre
      @HauntingSpectre 2 года назад +11

      When and If a woman ever has the skill to compete, there will be no "Uphill battle". Results don't lie, and no team worth a damn would argue against results.
      There will be jokes, sure, but being female isn't holding anyone back. There's just no one good enough to break that ceiling, probably because they don't invest 8-20 hours a day practicing, like some of the highest level male players, and I mean actual practice, doing drills, and scenarios, and maths, testing builds with numbers backing them. Not just playing ranked for 8 hours straight with zero focus on actual skill development.
      And men get equally ridiculed and harassed when they lack skill, just no one gives a shit when male gamers get insulted. No one bats an eye when a terrible male player gets called a no life loser, or to touch grass etc. Men get dunked on all the time online.
      Skill level in E-sports is blatantly and readily available for viewing. So if the player performs well, consistently, it can't be chalked up to sexism / sympathy. Unless the claim is that the other teams are intentionally throwing to make this single player look better, which I doubt, when money is involved for winning.
      Men outnumber women at least 10-1 already, so for every 1 pro male, there's probably 1,000 awful wood league males. So by basic statistical probability, of course theres going to be more male high level male players. Then factor in the above, that men are more likely to Precision focus on their goal (Even if they are terrible wood league players) and you're already seeing tougher competition.
      I went to College with HotshotGG and we all laughed at his dumbass when League came out, Guy dropped out of Engineering school to try to go pro on this game that was "Up and coming". Well, safe to say he got the last laugh, to our hubris. Thats the kind of laser focus I'm talking about. Even if it is often stupid (I still would not advise dropping out of Engineering school to try to get famous on a video game).
      I'd hit Challenger a few seasons in a row, but that was by investing literal 10-14 hours a day playing, whenever I wasn't at work, I was playing, and listening to other pro players, watching their game play, analyzing, going over my own replays, the works, and it was exhausting. And I never went pro, and I'm sure there are thousands of other players who are better than me, who have the same fate.
      TL:DR Nothing is holding women back in e-sports except their willingness to fully commit, and legitimately train/practice. It's not enough to just want something, you need to put in legitimate, hard work - which may NEVER pay off. Male or female.

      @@sofiabruiz17 And do you watch how other streamers get stream sniped and Swatted? Happens to both genders. Just because we ignore it when it happens to men doesnt mean it doesnt happen. Hell Ive seen male streamers have people break into their house while they are streaming. Having literally hunted them down to streamsnipe irl.
      Show me a female streamer that can compete with top level players. Chances are they cant.
      Being "high level" isn't enough. You need to be Elite. Like I said, I hit challenger and that wasnt enough, but a team of diamond level players were expected to compete?
      Your claim that it "happens to women more" is completely unverified. You would have to be tracking literally all streamers to make that assessment with out bias.
      The difference is when it happens to a woman, people acknowledge it more and treat them with kid gloves.
      When it happens to a dude, nobody cares at all, unless hes super famous. Ive seen streamers playing single player games get stream sniped and hacked.
      The reality is, is that women are just generally more sensible than men and not going to take the same risks. Such as commiting 14 hours a day to a video game for a chance to go pro.
      Theres thousands more men who have tried, and failed, than there are women who even attempt it. So of course there are more succesful men.
      When and if a woman has the skill level, it will be recognised. That doesnt mean they wont get hate. Even the top male players get hate mail and trolled. As do most famous people, whether they be olympic athletes or rockstars. Such is the nature of jealousy.
      It also doesnt help that men have better reflexes on average. Which gives them an edge. Especially when precision focused.
      Women see colour better, but thats not really a tangible benefit in a MoBA. Nor is being more empathetic.
      For every successful male streamer / esport player. Theres probably 100,000 failed Male players.
      In comparison to the maybe 1000 failed female streamers / esports players.
      And this is not me shitting on women. As I said they are just more sensible and not remotely as likely to go balls to the wall hardcore on something. Which yes, does affect those who try to become pro because they arent 100% committed.
      Where as a man will be drowning, diving headfirst into a 2 foot pool chasing the dream of being a pro even though he may never leave wood league. Which is why too much determination / laser focus is not a good thing unless you have the talent to back it up.
      The irony is you say Im biased, but Im saying that women can compete, and it wont be an issue. IF they have the skill to compete. Men also need the skills and if they dont have them. Guess what. They dont deserve the spot either. But again. No one cares about how many men failed. They only see the 20-40 successful ones. Ignoring the literal millions of others who never made it.
      Where as you and buddy are basically saying "itll never happen. Society hates women. Dont bother".
      Female gamers absolutely can compete. They just need to be as dedicated as the COMPETITION.
      Which happens to be predominantly male, simply because men are more stubborn and competitive. For better or worse.
      Like really. League is what. 90% played by men. And there are what. 50-100 pro players. Now subtract that from LOLs daily player count, and look at how many men ALSO are not skilled enough to be at the top.
      Its not remotely easy to be elite level at anything. Especially when those who are elite play and practice more than any regular person feasibly can. They dedicate literally their entire lives to that one thing.

So infantilizing women and claiming they are unable to compete because they cant handle toxicity, is in fact, you being sexist. Treating women as if they are too fragile to handle the exact same toxic behaviours that happen to males.
      Doesnt matter what kind of toxicity it is. Toxicity is toxicity. You either develop thick skin and the skill to win, or you give up. Male or female doesnt matter. Asian players experience racism. They still manage to be top level, and in fact dominate even at the elite tier.
      Doesnt matter what "ism" the toxicity is. Toxic is toxic. Simple as.
      Does it make it right that people receive it, of course not. But it goes with the territory.
      You guys are claiming women are too emotionally pathetic to deal with toxicity like men do, and thats why they fail.
      When in fact its a skill issue.
      Dont know about you, but id rather be told to "git gud l2p scrub" from my opponents, rather than "youre a woman society hates you. Youll never win" by people claiming to support me.
      Its people like you who hold women back, because you're basically telling them "you'll never make it so dont bother."
      When instead you should be saying "prove to the haters that you cant and wont be stopped become so good they CANT ignore you".
      Which is a very similar Mantra Mike Tyson's boxing coach gave him when he was a 13 year old boy.
      The road to triumph is not easy. For anyone. Its filled with doubt, and hate, and people trying to keep you down. No matter what you do.
      If you see obstacles as road blocks that cant be beat. Youll never be anybody.
      Its about perseverance, dedication, and a willingness to fail over and over but keep improving. No matter what people say about you.
      And the truth is, even that isnt enough. For men or women. Less than 0.5% of all players, athletes, singers, musicians, etc will ever reach Superstardom, or mass success at an elite level.
      But people try (and fail) despite that.
      Doesnt matter if you think you can, or you cant. Your right. And if you make excuses or doubt yourself. Youve lost before you even started.
      If you want to be a boss bitch, then be a boss bitch. Roll with the punches and swing back harder.
      Dont make excuses and pretend someone else is holding you back. Quit holding yourself back.
      Edit: There are literally people im severe accidents who are semi-fully paralyzed who are told by Elite doctors and surgeons and specialists "youll never walk again"
      And yet those people still drag themselves on the floor. Little by little. Refusing to give up. And to everyones surprise. They walk and move again.
