Is League of Legends Any Good in 2022?

- I've been playing League of Legends for a while now and some things about the game's current trajectory have started to worry me. It's not that the game is dying, or that the community is any more toxic today than it was before, or that I'm openly quitting League of Legends. It's more to do with how Riot has been handling champion releases over the last few years and how it's set a dangerous precedent for the future.

Guess we can also consider this video a sequel.
What, did you expect to find that massive wall of text talking about the video's topic like every other video does at the end here? Nah. I'm not interested in playing that game.

you can still delete this video .... you should delete this video why are you trying to get poeple to play this game ..... delete this ....xDD
I stopped playing League because of toxicity but I came back when I discovered how to deactivate chat.
turned off all bout to turn off team
People saying they hate the game and still continue playing it because they are addicted and not because they enjoy the game … like bro ur addicted because you enjoy it. Thank you for shining some light on this game hated by its own community.

I disagree with the very first argument. I would agree with it if riot focused on actual casual game modes instead of just ranked.
I really wish we got more fun/goofy modes that would stay with us, and others that rotate sometimes.
Nexus Blitz is sorely missed!
Really the first argument that I'm making also has to do with how basically everywhere you look on Twitch and RUclips, the tippity top content has to exclusively do with rank and in turn that leads to a rather large vocal majority in my most viewed video talking about "how I can't have an opinion because I'm low rank". Therefore, the statements I make are admittedly a little jaded _but_ not completely without merit. There are some exceptions to the rule, like Skooch building his own explosive brand of content off of a far more casual approach or Necrit delving deep into the lore side of things, but otherwise it's all "Iron to Challenger!" and high elo stream highlights everywhere you look, at least in terms of what reigns king.
I could honestly go on and on about all of the great small-to-miniscule channels that have some real talent (Fizzlenuke, Hypersugar, Silvxs, I am Bason, etc.) that isn't centred around a similar mantra and are genuinely creative people. Regardless of whether casual modes are released or not though, the environment that we've cultivated in the realm of content creation along with the systematic removal of casual modes combined with the sheer amount of cash that goes into the pro scene, the only thing that a lot of people _are_ often left to care about is what rank you are.
It sucks and I wish that there was a way to promote casual play more, I just haven't figured it out yet.
@@SojournerKai I personally feel that the reason casual play is not as common is just due to the path that riot is taking the game. The game has just gotten harder and harder every season. You have to commit so much of your time to the game literally just to be able to play at an iron level, the learning curve is steep. It definitely turns off a lot of casuals because since everyone is so tryhard, if you don’t commit all your time and effort into keeping up with patches, you’re gonna fall behind really quickly. Riot is definitely pushing league towards competitive and I can understand why. League’s esports scene is huge. That shit brings them so much attention. But it’s unfortunate that they don’t really cater to their casual player base at all. They refuse to simplify the game, they don’t add new game modes or bring back old ones. It’s always urf, one for all and ultimate spellbook. With such few game modes it gets stale really quick. I wish they would just bring back a few old game modes and slow down the patches a little bit.
Unfortunately riot doesn’t have much of a reason to do that tho, since they’ve shown that rotating game modes don’t really bring in that many players, which really sucks. I would love to experience the odyssey onslaught game mode.
@@SojournerKai basically riot just doesn’t really have a reason to promote casual play
The legendary 2nd video of the year from Kai of the year is here
Can't believe they allowed me to make two.
This man does it all. Hot takes, good editing, jokes that definitely didn't make me choke on my quiche in the lunchroom at work... What's not to love?
I just found your channel and im super glad that i clicked on this video, because its a fking banger, what a great video dude, keep up the banger content you will make it one day
a general tip for less toxicity is... play aram
True!
I think Akshan embodies the problem with modern champions perfectly, especially with his lore which imo have been also getting progressively weaker, he's not even a champion he's just the flesh puppet of the absolver and that thing's mere existance contradicts so much about the established canon that it'd be impossible to explain all of it in a youtube comment.
Funny enough, I have a video here on my channel where I specifically talk about Akshan and how he's a disjointed mess of a champion.
Your video is actually underrated
Banger video
Ends with an lor promo AND cotl music
Based epic and cool 😎
I play league only either in fun modes or in flex with friend. I cannot stance the toxicity so I dropped soloq and I enjoy very much the game
This is my biggest issue with league champions. They all visually seem the same. I wish it was a bit more diverse like DOTA 2
I still can't wrap my head around to learn any champion that isn't Shen but hey at least I try
I've seen you pop off with Tahm Kench at least once.
Short answer: Absolutely not.
But we still play anyway
I agree with I think every point.. except playing/starting to play this game now.. Its very tough cause you have to learn so many things which takes almost months to just understand the basic concepts + champs.. how to play against what.. and even know what exactly is what..
New players are just getting abused in their game every game.. I talked with people who started to play and alot of them were scared to play jungle because they dont know how this role exactly work and they would get shit on by their team for not playing the role appropiate..
So idk.. I think like 80% of the community is getting somewhat influnced by the teamchat or participating with the flames there are spreading with blaming each other..
Everygame I have to type /muteall in chat so I dont get tilted..
So yea.. mute everyone and get better at the game and enjoy it somehow.. or just dont play it, because u get addicted and depressed after a while
Aw man, I'm so far into the game now that I do genuinely forget about the learning CLIFF that exists in this game. Not only do you have to know what four abilities _your own_ champion possesses, but you also have to know the abilities of enemy champions so that you know what to look out for. You have to know how to move and, God forbid, last hit minions, or manage your resources effectively so that you don't get shoved out of lane. Totally agree with you, League is not friendly in the slightest to new players.
Great video, I am so addicted and I respected all your points! (shit, I am scared of the world respective) -A 49% winrate plat
I'm playing it with intense happiness and crippling pain, because tas how league of legends works.....
this was a great video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :D
Another banger by Riot SojournerKai
I think quitting a game because you have to interact with people you find unappealing or toxic is perfectly fair. It's exhausting and it's a multiplayer game. Even if you can't see chat, you'll still get people who grief you or go AFK and so on, and repeat FF vote while farming sidelanes and avoiding objectives. It makes the experience not fun eventually. That said, League is not any more toxic than most online games, it just has a reputation for it. The lore is by far the most enjoyable part of the game so I'd start there if I wanted to get into League.
Yeah that's a good point! Not wanting to queue because of the possibility of having someone run it down or having to deal with children makes sense. However, I am subscribed to the idea that if the game is enjoyable enough to you, then those things should be a non-factor in your decision to play anyway. The issue therefore doesn't arise from toxic people directly, the issue arises from how the game itself is designed in a way that it can lead to exhausting interactions amidst repetitive gameplay that doesn't feel as rewarding as it used to. In other words, growing tired of the game itself rather than the community.
Look at the most in the background of Nilahs slpash art, why can't I play as or fight that. this riot mmo needs to hurry up before I get sad
Funny enough, that creature is a card in Legends of Runeterra called "Terror of the Tides".
cheeky '?' spotted :D
Thirty seconds later I wrote "y'all picked ziggs top into melee and still can't kill me 2v1"
@@SojournerKai nah man you're just tryharding obviously
Hell yeah my dude
It’s 1:20 am so I not going to finish the video but I agree and disagree with you. Riots doing an amazing job taking care of 90% of its players with new content and expanding their reach into different genres. However I think you’re wrong about leaks. Nothing is less entertaining then being pummeled by a new champion because you don’t know what they do. That’s the equivalent the wizard did it, ontop of that “leaks” are intentional by riot they are trying to make hype around the characters by not giving everything at once I think every major moba and game does this now.
Also being silver and talking about the stat of the game is not indicative of the whole game. I think you need to consult some higher ego players to get their views aswell
Or just play TFT. Great, actively communicating devs, chill playerbase and you can play most of the champions. It even builds on the lore with new sets like dragonlands
New set does look pretty fire ngl
👍
Good video, I disagree with the thought that a "toxic community" is not a valid reason to not play a games. Playing with friends helps the experience, playing with shitlords does the inverse. Leagues community is consistently toxic and makes people not even want to try and find the diamonds in the rough.
I can understand the argument that a toxic community does not make a game bad, but its more than acceptable to be a reason you don't play it.
It's a great game
if they fix ryze id love the game
Man, poor Ryze, I have him as an M5 myself, but he's outclassed in so many ways by other mid laners. He's also left to suffer because of his efficacy at high ranks and pro play :(
@@SojournerKai ive been playing him since his machine gun iteration and i gotta say i lost all intrest in realm warp the moment they took away ult zohnyas. I understand why they took it but still. Theyve destroyed everything about Ryze that I liked in order to save his pro skewed ult. Now everytime he has like more than 10 games in proplay, (what they balance him around) they just use it as an excuse to nerf him again.
LIES
The game back then was slower paced by design, not as much mobility, true damage, % health damage existed, you could actually Solo Carry Games, there was no turret shut down gold, no tower platings, Xp was distributed differently, no 1000 Gold Shut down that is given to you by a nonsensical system, Rift Herald did not exist to push in turrets, Dragons gave Gold not buffs, so no random factor there either, ap supports did not have that much Gold on their hands supports were actually that, supports, supporting. Not Senna as a 2nd adc, or Pyke with a Darius ultimate that teleports him around, Ap Supports, if played, did not have enough money to stack Ap Items only, they had to buy wards and Items to support their team. The annoying plants did not exist and champions were not designed so that some korean shoutcaster can scream his lungs out 5 Minutes into the Game in bot lane, seriously Proplay being such a cashcow was one of the worst things that ever happened for the Games overall health. It was overall a way more fun game to play.
13:26 a really bad one in fact
NO
I can see why you're silver but you had some good points.
Xou tired positive and thats nice. But yoi forget the we dont have enough ban those new champs and riot creating more and more get of my face and my game champs thats simple make the game unworthy of your time cuz riot simple dont care anything only money. The client are bug machine. The game unfixed beta version. The new that 200+ year are too many and coming more. That game is too bad to playing if they force me or playing to me i cant change my mind this is beta version in every aspect and riot dont work on it to can be better
no
Why not?
i love leakers because the events gonna be disappointing anyways
Ah yes, chaotic neutral.
isn't because of leakers that riot just basically stopped doing thing like GP rework event? not telling that the event would be good without leakers but we would had a lot more without them sadly
no
Why not?
@@SojournerKai no no he makes a good point
@@somasaasaa4850 Fair enough, carry on
the game itself is good, its getting better and better but balancing the champions seems impossible now.
unbalanced champions is what i hate about the game.
and also the old special events were better and more fun.
