I’m one of those people who didn’t know you used to make league videos. This is tragic, I thought you were cool.
I hope one day I can rebuild the trust you have lost
Is that professional "Dark Souls RUclipsr man" Aluminum Pomegranate? Big fan, dude.
Says the guy that made a video of himself and friends role playing Shrek and Donkey in Dark Souls? I love you man.
Man, gotta tell, never expected the funny dark souls man on the comments of the funny video game music man. Love both of your content dudes, hope you guys are doing well :)
@@yakkocmn Hey, I also quit League recently for the better good. I was also a Aurelion Sol/Warwick Main and would go off-meta with my friends back in the days. I was ranting so much when they butchered Aurelion Sol. I just hate League with a burning passion.
Good choice
The fact that you get more and more content to cover every month really supports this statement.
Ah yes, here is Vandiril, taking a break from posting his 25th video of bugged champions this week. Wonder why he doesn't like the game...
@@georgegkoumas5026 I actually don't like the game because it's too focused on competitive, I just like yakko would wish the game was more fun and casual oriented. It's just boring to me.
Doing vids about the bugs is more interesting however :D
@@Vandiril it's not even that, the game design team just sucks. Competitive sucks just as bad as casual if not worse.
@@Vandiril this is why i only play aram lately, it's way more casual.
One of my coworkers once told me I gave off "league of legends player vibes" and I actually don't think I've ever been more insulted in my life
bro if i got told that i straight up would never show my face ever again
@@anonymousfilipino3232 the worst part is they were someone I was interested in😭

@@donutholebandit6212 "the worst she can say is no" lmfao
As someone who’s never played League I’m constantly told it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made
words can't explain how jealous i am of u
Same here I played it once and I didn’t like it. Tho I didn’t play with friends because my friends and I play fighting games
tbh mobas in general have really great mechanics and it can feel very good to pull off something. but it is a strategy game, so you hav to train to get good, or toxic people may flame you
as someone who played that game for 10 years,
since it's very birth actually, i can't express how conflicted i am,
about not regreting even a bit quitting it forever
you'd think i'd have somes bittersweet feelings because of how much this game was a part of my life for so long,
but no, not even a single cell in my body express any guilt or even sadness
probably because even tho' i haven't played it for like 3 years, it dosn't even feel like it "died"
it was already rotting since years, and i just finaly realized the stench
it was dead since a longass time ago, it's like losing someone out to some sickness that's been slowly eroding at it's body
at some-point you can't even remember how it used to look since it has decayed so much,
it didn't feel like i was quitting a game,
i got so desensitized and apathic about the game, i didn't even care anymore of how important that game used to be,
it's like i was tacking care of a dying-flower for years, and one-day i just noticed how decayed it was and simply stopped doing something meaningless
anyway...
yes, not playing League of Legend is the best choice you ever made x)
saaaame dude idk why I'm here rn
There goes 100% of the Aurelion Sol playerbase
Better Nerf Aurelion Sol i guess
And now I'm the last Taliyah player
We left like half a year after the rework
Can confirm.

No joke this video made me tear up. It reminded me of when i first started league just as a way to have fun with friends, and slowly i became the only one that still played. You've inspired me to move on in the search of games for FUN again.
Don't want to force you or anything ,but try Warframe:D
Chill game and chill community.

@@rachelhughes8487 I don't know man ,but I doubt.
Quitting league has literally changed my life for the better. Imagine a game that bad it literally makes someone's life better to not play it. Riot hears people have fun then does everything to prevent them from having thay fun
That's so double handed, they want you to water your everything, but then take away things that you like making you not want to play.
I started LoL 2 weeks before and im actually having fun
@@ThatObjectionGuy Oh sweet child. That's hell you're walking into. Believe me, because we were once in your shoes. When you get to play Ranked - and believe me, you WILL 100% - that's when you will experience horror that you have never experienced before. As what the Divine Comedy says:
"Abandon hope all ye who enter here."
@@seia2758 im still having fun tho but cant play as much cuz i have highschool enterance exam
@@ThatObjectionGuy Hey still having fun?
Thank fucking God we have Legends of Runeterra
Thankfully, so we can enjoy League without playing League.
@@cookiecreep9204 EXACTLY what I said to myself before I looked at the comments, LOL. LoR lets me enjoy the world I devoted so much time to without being dragged down by the poisonous game it's attached to.
It actually uses the fucking lore. God damn top tier shit
@@Onyx1987 Not even my saying, its Bricky's from his vid, give it a go :D
a shame i cant stand card games....so league it is
"The brightest star shines on, long after they are gone."
best note to end the video on
Very well said
Currently 6 months from officially quitting league and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. Mental health got better, I feel like I don’t waste nights, it’s amazing. While I cherish the memories I have had with the game, I sometimes wish it was just a different game that wasn’t competitive in nature just to be able to go explore the world and stories it has to tell.
Great video, glad you also made it out!
I haven't played for 1 year. I feel awesome now
@@sxtxrnxd Yeah its just a game, but you have to take in consideration that we are humans and riot games its a company that invest in demographics investigation to sell its product which is league of legends. Its not only riot that does this, its a business model that ponder now, I dont think any single top game is actually a game but a service right now. Coach and casual games tend to be obsfuscated by a busines model that is still alive because there are people that live from it, content creator on any context its just another job for most people. So making a game fun has like a hue of meanings, what is fun for you its not the goal of the company. So yeah, thats why playing absolutely any indie game feels like "wow how he/she/they manage to do this excelent game and come with this great idea alone" because youre playing a game which doesnt have thousand of dollars on research for making the game a service through addiction, maybe its not your case but there are people that just is addicted to the game like its an actual drug. So yeah, for you its just a game, for someone else its his mood, for most people their job, and for them its service and busines model.
@@sxtxrnxd You've never been invested in league, shut the fuck up lol
i just dont play ranked anymore, but playing with ur friends makes u actually have fun in this game
I quit 2 weeks ago and decided to start gardening instead. I miss League but I feel better for it and know I’m doing something more constructive with my time.
I remember downloading the game, doing the tutorials, going in an actual game and getting called the f-slur and told to end myself 30 seconds in.

Biggest smile of this year
It's so sad to be reminded of how league has evolved over the last 4-5 years, and that all these legendary league youtubers like yakko, darkkmane, magikarp, etc. won't come back to this game and make another league video probably ever. During the montage I must admit I cried a little, wishing league could be as fun and wholesome again as it once was... Goodbye League :'(
@@paulj4955 yup ;-; yakko actually got me into the game, i hated it but then i saw some yakko vids and like, shit man
@@paulj4955 Darkkmane still makes league vids, his recent ones are AP Ez and Trundle
@@NeptuniumNecromancy Oh wait, you're actually right... I was just trying to think up as many names as possible. My bad
@@paulj4955 it’s fine bro
League stopped appealing to me when they forsook their original idea aka "There's a champion for everyone, pick your favourite and have fun" and started to pander the people who just played popular champions and bought all their skins. I mained Vel'koz and there was almost 5 year gap with him receiving one skin. Lux received 7 at that time including an ultimate and double legendary skin. There's now several champions with 2 legendaries while the majority don't even have one. It's awful and the game just stopped being made for someone like me. Also the competitive nature of the game became ridiculous thanks to the mastery and eternals system that drove people to just play their mains and tryhard even in normal games to get their S-rank and more points to their already million point mains.
Same thing was always part of the balancing. If an unpopular champion was slightly overpowered they wouldn't hesitate to nerf them immediately while the fanboy champions could be borderline broken for months if not years before they got nerfed.
Here in brazil they made various ads saying : "play league the way u like" then they proceeded and banned an brazilian streamer for playing his main in a uncommon lane... that is when it stopped appealing to me.
Season 1 player here,
You can't imagine how much grief I felt seeing riot slowly forget it's old-champions just to hyper-balance and focus on the more recent characters which are popular in competitions
Used to be a time league was for "everyone",
Nowaday it's a game only dedicated to competition, and they only listen to the pro-players
And even then, I'm not even sure league is made for them
I remember back when a tank was a tank, a mage was a mage, and a ADC was a ADC
Nowaday theses words don't even have any fucking meanings anymore, you have ADCs that can regen much better than any tanks could, and tanks aren't even really viable anymore
I think my interest in the game started wavering back when they took out the Occult-Blade, killing one of the most fun item you could pick on characters like Pantheon
They deleted and changed so much shit, at this point does anyone even remember the "Leviathan"?
It was the tanks own Mejai/Occult item, it would increase your max-HPs with kills and assists
Remember back when in the upper/left jungle there was a tombstone with the ghost of Urf appearing once in a while?
Last time I played league was last-year in winter and they didn't even bother giving the map a winter-theme if I'm not mistaken
I stopped playing the game when they changed IP for the essence-system,
Do you know why they even made that change?
Because back when they started fiddling with their lootboxes-system,
Players who already owned every characters and had a shitton of IPs like me had a way to avoid paying for new characters
Already back then every new-characters were worth about 6K IP
The thing is, you could unlock characters with tokens
You had to get at least 3 tokens, and the character you would get was random
But to use it was a really good deal, a token was worth about 900 IP on the store,
And not only you could buy theses tokens, but you could also get them for free in boxes
I remember having about like 13 tokens jut sitting in my inventory, waiting to be used for new-characters
So instead of paying 6K+ for a new-character, we just had to save thoses tokens over-time to get new-characters,
Since we already owned every champions, we would only unlock the new-one
So we amassed a shitton of IPs that way while also unlocking every new-champs for free
Obviously we didn't hurt anyone doing this, and only peoples who invested enough time/money to get every single champions in the game could pull this off,
But to riot having players unlocking shit for free without playing the game all the time was a problem,
So they decided to replace IPs with BE, and they got rid of the champions tokens to replace it with their current "renting-tokens",
The idea was obviously to force us back into having to use our ressources and stop us from playing passively while still unlocking characters
Good thing I had a shitton of tokens, because I converted them all into IP before the IP/BE conversion,
When the conversion finaly happened, I had about 160K+ BE,
Still more than enough to afford about any characters they released since then,
But the fact that I still managed ith it isn't the point,
My point is that they changed their entire fucking monetary system to force old-players back into investing time/money in the game instead of just having a game once in a while
Riot got that fucking greedy,
And obviously it didn't work out because most of my friends and I all progressively stopped playing the game after that
Anyway,
As they got bigger and bigger,
riot-games stopped giving a shit
Their studio changed and their view on what the game should be also changed
I think they understood they isn't have to try anymore when the game got to the peak of it's popularity
They didn't have to make it fun anymore, all they had to do was to get you hooked on ranked and keep playing
"The most played multi-player game on earth!"
It's also game made by no-one, and for no-one
Okay, so I get what you’re saying, but I just really like playing Lux man, I’m sorry.
As a fellow Vel’koz main, I share your pain brother... we all do
I never understood the dont play ur main on normals mentality. What if im only a casual player who enjoy one champ and play the game for only that champ. Why should i play something new so u can feel better about urself but I waste hours playing unfun shit. How come its only tryhard if the other people win. Cause u just go into a game thinking okay im going to lose on purpose.
One of the stranger experiences I've had was chatting with my younger cousin (a senior in HS at the time; this was some years back) while he played DOTA and my cousin is just completely calm and chatting with me like normal and I look at his monitor and he's just viciously insulting people
Like I imagined people would just be raging out but it seemed like something he was just casually doing, and he wasn't actually mad IRL, it was weird
Well... I get hurt by that, if not everyone.
I started playing pre season 1 and quit around season 6-7, life's been better since, I started sleeping better, got out more, made friends, got a job, a girlfriend, moved out, became able to read people's thoughts, fly, bend matter to my will, ascended to a new godlike plane of existence
This is DC levels of story progression
This hurts. I found myself agreeing on so many points that I had to pause at some point and legitimately ask myself "Why am I still playing this game?"
I think.. I think it's time to let it go. Thank you Yakko, this has been eye opening. And, ya'know, thanks for being an awesome content creator!
Felt exactly the same. I think it's time to move on!
Godspeed dude, you lost absolutely nothing
And I mean it, stay away from it and start actually playing games
Don't fool yourself, you'll come back in less than a week
I mean, i do as well but i only started playing half a year ago
We'll miss parts of the game, but there are companies and games who actually will conect with us and who deserve our attention and even economic support!
3:57 you put it so perfectly. this is most people's reason to leave league recently. Riot balances/releases champs for LCS, and then wonders why their game stopped being fun. honestly it feels like riot forgot it was a game at all. as you said at 12:19, to riot, it's a sport. Not a game.
15:15 there are so many good creators out there, its just the base doesn't care for fun, high effort league content anymore like they did in the old days. also the league partner program made it hard for small content creators to compete with the well established ones already in the program, worsening the overall state of content for league imo
its a rare type of content creator who can do so well breaking away from their niche like you have. MAD RESPECT and keep doing you!!
@SunnySplosion if you want to make a greater point of riot now, idk if this comment has any relation to what you said above about the riot partner program. How many days has it been from now since you kept sending that automated email to riot asking to joint the program? And if you are in the program, how many day since the start of the first email did it take to get their attention? Also love your vids by the way; both y'all creators I live to watch and follow.
i mean the problem is that there is 3 league : casual , soloQ , and pro .
pro shoul be the best of the player base , ut most of the player base on't play the same game .
in what world solo Q is representative of ur skill in a team game ?
soloQ only bring toxicity ,balance nighmare and unhealty addiction .
the rule of football are the same with your friends or in pro , so it can be a sport and a game . if riot go in the direction of removing soloQ , they loose addict , and therefore money . but think of the number of people that would come back or trie league after that .
anyway how are pat's balls ?
hey it's the lady who hasn't played asol yet!
ok i get that lol is trash, but people use the 3 min point to ralk shit about esports in general. It is fine to choose not to play competitively, but dont fucking call us dumb for choosing differently than you.
Where’s “playing Aurelion sol because his new ski- sike imagine having skins lmaoo”?
Thinking back on how I religiously played this game from when I was 17-21 makes me so sad. I spent so much time being so mad at something instead of doing literally anything else productive or enjoyable. I feel like so many of us really were addicted to this game and not in a good way in the slightest. This game made me a shitty, reclusive person for arguably some of the most important years in my life.
Hey man I feel ya too, glad you’re out of it!
Hunt of the blood-moon was so much fun for quick games. Great for warmups too. I wish they'd just make a playlist of all the game modes that would just rotate once every other day or something.
Or make them DLC or something. They'd make bank if we could pay $25 and replay Bilgewater, or even Spirit Blossom.
Or let us play customs with those modes
Well, riot doesn't care for actual fun and creativity, they only care about money and e-sports. They don't care about us casuals, new players
I still say “Nintendo Laaaabo” whenever I see it, brought a tear to my eye in the ending montage ♥️
my best league of legends joke was about nintendo all along
In all seriousness tho, came for the league, stayed for the childlike wonder. Your reasons are basically the same as mine (but I didn’t create content then lol)
i always say the mitochondria is the power house of the cell when i see zac in game
@@yakkocmn Yooo I hope that was a shot at them and not self deprecating, you deserve so much better duder. I constantly look forward to your every video and your Ring Fit one remains one of my favorites on all of youtube.
I love how you reading the list of gamemodes dead had me like
“Ooooo thats agood one! Oooo that too” over and over
Made me realize how sad I am that they're gone. They need a LoL party client where it's just all of those games
Me when I heard twisted treeline: *sheds a tear while saluting*
@@LadyGameshine That's what I don't understand, In DOTA2 we have a really big library of game modes and we can even create our own game modes, even thou it has a smaller playerbase
@Satama Gftyf How would it die? DOTA did the same thing and you can find matches faster than in League
Riot really made Aurelion Sol, just so we can feel bad whenever we try to enjoy his existence
I remember when, in the early days, League used to have in-game news updates about the events in Noxus and Demacia. The game felt so much more like an actual world with characters that actually existed. Those were better times IMO.
the journal of justice !!! the lore used to be so much better >:/
I will very much agree with all of your points, especially the lore and world building. I'm keeping my hopes up for the MMO they are working on so that we can experience more of the world and lore.
Didn't realize you were once a League fan Chef PK. Here's hoping the MMO blows our minds, I'm really looking forward to it!
Legends of Runeterra honestly did a fine job expanding the lore
Based PK
Don't hope. The problem isn't inherent to the game. A different game won't change anything as long as it's the same company, as long as the devs work for maximum profit, not out of passion.
Wait Chef you're old Leaguer too?!
RIP Aurelion Sol :(

where the fu-
At least he’s still cool in LoR... for now at least 😓
Wait why u here

what's funny is that I share your thoughts on competitive games, I really dislike the mentality and community that competitive games like league or csgo breed , but for some reason in january of this year I fell in love with fighting games and haven't stopped playing them, they're so good at having a perfect balance between playing for fun and playing for glory, and I play them solely for fun, and yet the process of learning and improving IS itself the fun, I even joined a few tournaments and like, it's so weird how I can join a competitive thing and completely not care about that competitive aspect and still have fun even though I lost 2-0 twice and got eliminated immediately, a lot of people don't find it fun when they lose but I'm so glad I can get absolutely bodied by veteran players and still have the time of my life
i know this comment is kinda old but i think its probably because fighting games are solo. you don't have anyone to blame but yourselves and so for a lot of people it's less frustrating to lose, whereas in league most of the toxicity is people's ego and blaming each other for mistakes that cost the game.
like literally every time i watch a lol stream its always just the streamer arguing with some random and complaining.
I had taken several breaks from the game, but the last time I came back I said some really hateful things to a stranger (who to be fair was also being toxic, but why would I let myself fall into it as well?). I felt like shit for what I'd said for the rest of the match, uninstalled the game, and left it that way for good.
"The brightest stars shine on long after they're gone" too true Asol
That sendoff touched my heart
@@wizardlizard6496 frrrr
League of Legends has the weirdest draw to it. It is like gambling, but you have slightly more impact on the outcome. This is why I had to quit because, at some point, I realized I'd only play league to gamble for LP.
League is crack let's be honest haha you get addicted to the brief highest of highs that you're willing to drown in the extremely toxic lowest of low for the majority of the time.
When you feel every game is a gamble, it probably means you reached the precise MMR you deserve. In order to improve, you should stop and analyze everything / study the aspects you're lacking. To prove my point: let's say you get matched with 9 players 2 elos lower than you, like you're gold and they are bronze. Would you believe the game to be a gamble? Absolutely not, right? You'd win at least 8 games if you were focused, regardless of feeding teammates, ragers or quitters.
@@mattcvlh Regardless, It's not fun.
@@mattcvlh There is literally nothing to analyze what's lacking when your top feeds the enemy top like 20 times and now they're level 18 while your entire team is still level 14 then their enemy top can just build *pure hp* and one shot your entire team with not even an ultimate yet a singular ability
And because of how the game works you're not coming back from that even with your entire team working together
ever

@@NaoNakashimaremind me that last week i asked m'y brother what made LoL the fun and i Nevers got a responce
The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when they didn't even keep Nexus Blitz as a permanent game mode. It was my last hope that they'd care about fun.
I can see why they removed it. To most people, me included, it stopped being fun after you played it for a few days. It, like everything else, just develops a meta that people stick to and it starts getting less and less fun until people stop playing it. I just wish they cycled through the game modes more often
@@world9870
Hoped Riot would make URF available more often. And not just ARURF but actual URF. I just want to play my BArDC, Critzclank, LeeShield and Assassinmumu again. Nexus Blitz became boring eventually for me.
Riot rarely keeps their promises, they said they would bring support to Dominion to make it more popular, after Dominion's removal they said the same for Twisted Treeline and that they would also support it, Nexus Blitz was made to be a permanent mode originally.
They lied on these 3 occasions
I don't know how to explain it, but it had the same exact problems as summoner's rift. You're playing a team game but with no communication in different lanes/roles. Games can feel real one-sided most of the time
Because everyone stopped caring about nexus blitz after the first week.
Watching this honestly is kinda making me reevaluate a friendship I have and this game. I played league constantly before my computer broke and after being away long enough, I noticed that my personality was more aggressive while playing it but I was still the chillest one in my group. Like, jesus.. I'm pretty sure one of my friends is only one of my friends for league cause that's all he fucking plays and mentions to me constantly while my computer is getting fixed. And when he mentions it, it's usually how I need to practice another role and get better at my shot-calling. Like, I don't want to fucking work and study, I just wanna game and have fun. Like you mentioned with nexus blitz, that was fun, but my friends didn't really play it cause they didn’t like it, most likely cause it was less competitive and more fun-based. Sorry for the rant but, thanks for the enlightenment. I need to stay out of league, or at least limit myself if I can't manage to do the first option. Good vid 10/10
After hearing about all of the events I missed out on, I understand what he meant about them needing to bring back more game modes
Man, that last montage got me right in the feels. I'm glad for all those times and glad for the new conten with more diverse games. Thank you Yackosemen
I miss so much when they used to care about the story, Like when they ACTUALLY killed Gankplank and he was gone from the game until he came back in the story!
to this day, this removal was the radest shit ever.
but even after that they cared about the lore and made good stories. but their major dropoff happened in the last year
I remember waking up and checking news on the Jhin release. Dopest shit ever. They don't do releases or changes like that anymore. Now its just "and another one".
That would mean after the ruination event Viego would be dogshit. That would’ve been great 😢
@@geraldohuff4220 yeah it would’ve been cool if his passive was changed to like idk maybe keeping the health he has, instead of regenerating health after each takedown
That last a-sol quote really is something Its like a whole wrap up of your experience with the game.
That outro was so beautiful yet so melancholic and sad.
"The brightest stars shine on long after they're gone".
As much as I found you, magikarp and bricky with league, I also enjoy WAY MORE the content that you and these youtubers do now. It's awesome, really. Keep up the cool work
Somehow unrelated but I am happy that Bricky and Magikarp transitioned to Warhammer 40k. It is a sick franchise.
'I couldn't miss your performance" Is what I feel about your content, thank you for all the laughs and inspiration, i am starting my youtube "career" and a lot of inspiration came from your videos and the karpcrew, will always be watching and cheering you on!!!
This is just beautiful. There's not much more to say, you're a great content creator Yakko. I hope you grow more and more as time passes. Be the best creator you can be.
This is a great video!
The part that resonates with me is "I love video games"
I have a core group of friends who likes taking league seriously, but they also enjoy relaxing and letting us all play a variety of champs.
I also make sure to take breaks from league and get through backlog when there are games I want to play, and having different locations for games helps me with that.
I play most single player games on playstation 4/5, and when I do on computer it's always with a controller. League has been a blessing and a curse over quarantine because it's such a time-sink to make the time feel like the quarantine hasn't been as long as it has.
I've never played League and so far everything has been reassuring me it's the right call
right now
it's only good with friends who knows how to play ( 3 people or +)
@@MagmaELava with even that i wouldnt recommend it. This game can break more friendships than freaking marioparty.
Play with a group of friends and don't let anyone tell you what to do or how to play, that's the only way I've found myself having fun with this game
For me it's sadly. Play with full party, or dont :/
@@bramt2000 Yep, that's a lot more like it. I think it's honestly too late for riot to fix what they've done because the community has been tainted forever and the people will always stay the same no matter what riot tries to change. But even then I'm being optimistic because knowing riot they won't change jack shit. I'm probably going to just switch over to Minecraft or Animal Crossing until Riot releases the League mmo, can't wait for that
18:00 so true, been playing since season 1 and the older I get, the more I value my time. Before a game I ask "do I want to waste my evening being depressed?"
And then you answer ''Nah I rather go do something that makes me happy'' and close the game one more time, maybe forever :)
@@walkelftexasranger I’ve said that like 3 months ago. I litterally told myself that there are so many other games I could play to improve my happiness and just quit.
nice pfp
@@_sick5_481 I don't know man, it feels like you guys are just taking it so serious lol, don't take league serious.
@@kaanny but that's the thing he played blind but still wishing for someone's death over a video game means there's no hope for you
I have started playing in covid, and at the start it was so much fun! every match we found new things to joke and laugh about, it was simple and there wasn't a lot of pressure from school yet so we actually had some time. after a while the jokes became jokes on the friends inside the friend group, you could see how we were more toxic and blamed each other a lot, after a point I stopped talking with them because they were so toxic and infuriating I hurt my hand from punching shit from the "bullying" they thought was cool to do. at the end it took a lot of time for me to recover and act normal to the again, and since then league was less and less fun for everyone, so we stopped playing it so often, now its just chilling, playing a random game we just found or playing TFT, which I think is starting to be more and more RNG based, another property riot is ruining... I just hope all of you know when to appreciate yourself and your time, because I sure don't, youtube is taking a lot of my time instead of studying, but that's a thing im optimistic about :)
Its also difficult to get back into the game once you've left for awhile, last ranked i played was in 2018, since then items, menu, map and all of the champions i played have been reworked. Seriously how are you supposed to keep up when you have responsibilities. You have to relearn everything every few months.
Its crazy how i never even realised you quit the game, I just kept watching your content because of how good it was. Keep up the great work dude.
Damn I didn't even tought this day would come for me... but with yuumi, seraphine, the sentinels event and their new awful design choices finally made me drop this game....
But hey at least Necrit will always back us up with some amazing stories!
Ok, now you're just tempting fate
Hate to break it to you, but they'll pretty much f*ck the lore next. characters like Seraphine then not including Yorick at the ruination event is saying something.
@@hubendraknirnarciso8573 they did include yorick. That says a lot about you
@@snappieboi5026 Well not heavily, since his lore is to literally face the ruined king himself. His lore is dedicated to that one thing and he's not even at the final fight. But they did include him to some degree, I didnt pay attention enough since I've lost interest overall so pardon if its not that accurate.
yuumi is a fun champ if you just play it for fun, the most fun i had in league since i started playing was when i was playing yuumi top
that ending montage was incredibly sweet, i have never been into league of legends and i never will be but you could really feel all the heart in it. Even if league has gone so downhill its something you truly loved and im glad you could give it a last sendoff. incredibly nice video.
I stopped playing League regularly in 2019 for other games, and now I come back every now and then. It's really only fun if you play casually or with friends, other then that it's not really unless you enjoy the competitive nature.
I'm proud of you, I've been out 4 years and it's been a godsend. Your content should be what you enjoy otherwise burnout is real, you're doing incredible.
Honestly my favorite memories of the game are in Ascension playing movespeed shaco and avoiding combat, just sneaking point captures
I did the same but with Rammus.
camping the points with teemo shrooms/heimer turrets was pretty fun
me with tank bard lol
Maaan. I loved ascension, really underrated gamemod
When Dominion was removed my fun was removed as well...
I miss you and magikarp so much. I go back and watch “d” and “yes” every now and then to cure my depression.
I randomly found your twitter when you tweeted about reviewing your takes on Genshin. No idea why I don't play nor watch the game. The entire time I was thinking "I'm pretty sure I know this guy" and yeah I didn't remember but I used to watch your league content years ago! Went and watched your other stuff and you make amazing content keep it up :)
Can't believe that after years of watching Yakko, MagicarpUsedFly, Bricky and other RUclipsrs have fun in league by doing new builds or team comps, even if they were stupid, would be something that I would miss this much. I remember going into league trying to have fun after watching them play the game and enjoy it believing that I'd have the same amount of fun! They were all over my RUclips feed, so I barely missed any of their videos, but now, everything is literally just "broken build" this or "broken champ" that, the fun is basically lost unless you're ready to lose a lot of games with friends in order to get a small amount of enjoyment out of it. Thank you for making all that good content for us, it was amazing
Now if you go off meta, you get flamed and then risk being perma ban because you wanted to do an off meta build that works
@@P.H691 i go off meta all the time, mostly toplane. I recently picked up aphelios top and i am having a lot of fun with it. I play with chat disabled(would recommend ANYONE to do so) so i dont even see anything other than pings, and i usually mute that too if my team mates are too agressive or bothering me.
And this is why I've stopped playing normal matches. Now I only play shit like ARAM or Custom games with friends where we do a lot of stupid nonesense.
The amount of times I have played a normal game and gonna against premise 5s or 4s going the sweatiest meta builds, perma banking with their whole team and then having the gold player etc shit talk the bronze/iron lane opponent as if it’s an achievement beating a definitely worse player is honestly astounding.
Don’t even get me started on Riot removing fun and unique items for 0 reason (twin shadows) like seriously why?
Oh, so that Skooch was some future warning by my recommendations. There goes 100% of the Bard and Asol playerbase
i will carry on the bard and asol torch
@@imblu7060 no man it a burden to big for one man to Carry
@@imblu7060
Lez go Bard mains, and A.Sol enjoyers.
Ayyy nice use of Jet Set Radio’s humming the beeline at 14:00!
Damn Yakko, you got me fucked up :( This video literally expresses a lot of the same way I feel about League and it is painful finally seeing it on paper.
This was absolutely beautiful. Made me reminisce about the nights I spent watching your, Matt's and Nithin's videos over and over again. I miss those times, I truly do, and seeing you or any of you guys upload some new content just makes me remember where this all started. Thank you for being a huge part of my childhood, and do what makes you happy the most❤️❤️
There was a conscious decision made in late 2017 by riot games to focus only on weaponizing their addicted player base as dopamine-rats over actually designing a fun video game for enjoyment. The shift was subtle at the time, but glaringly obvious in hindsight. They just realized who paid more money, and because of the rise of fortnight became so insecure about their ability to design a game that was competitive within the industry that they just did everything they could to lock everyone in by any means. Systematic removal and degradation of any mode other than SR, Intentionally snail paced, meaningless "2 ad" changes every 2 weeks, streak based matchmaking, artificial inflation and deflation of mmr, it was all addict those with high frustration tolerance at the cost of those who just liked to mess around. Sad to see my (our) favorite game of like 5+ years go this route, but what can you do. Feels bad. Especially feel bad for anyone still playing.
ARAM is very very fun tho
I've played the game since S2. It's always been the same, it still plays mostly the same. This is so drastic.
Gamers are fickle, and things staying flavour of the month for over a decade is impossible. Hence CS updating itself twice in it's history - still now losing it's playerbase to a new flavour in Valorant. Hence WoW slowly haemorrhaging players to FFXIV. I mean it's even why League got so popular, MOBA players wanted a new flavour and it came along at the right time to become bigger than DoTA.
Low elo shitter kekw
Especially when research found that rage and anger is the most monetizable emotion
Happy players leave the game and take longer breaks
And angry players rage stay untill they win. Or stay to prove a point that they are good
All of this is carefully constructed
To create a tolerable level of frustration
That make high feel very highs and lows feel very lows
Create an addictive
Loop set free on the mind of children
All this nonsense wizards fighting
for fake numbers on a video game
The only people who ever won anything in league are content creators or one in a million players who could play in the lcs
If your not challenger at this point your probably never gonna Get anything from league
Also u need to be high rank to profit as a booster
Streamers don’t want you to hate league because without it they would have no job
So they usually tippy toe on the problem at hand
To try to make it seem less a big deal
While others migrate
This frustration loop set free on million of children
created a generation of sad emotionally stunted teens for the sake of money
Driving up mental illness and saucecite
Video game addicts are known to Have almost no social skill and increase amount of apathy
Creating a generation of socially awkward virgins creating a virgin crisis
As we know today as incel crisis
I kid you not the latest patch has three champs who’s changes all read “-2 ad”
man that ending made me cry, now I want to play league again after years of not playing it because a ex friend pushed me away from it.
The creative team should be independent from the rest of the company. As Riot has pushed more and more for a generic mainstream formula the universe has taken the biggest beating, and since I don't play the game anymore I really just consume the lore at this point. Not even that though since I stopped reading the lore at the beginning of the ruination event
This opened my eyes after 7 years of playing this game I guess its time to quit its no more fun its literally just sport not a game to have fun with , Thank you for opening my eyes and making me deleting this cancer like game time to enjoy new fun games
3 tips I personally use to have fun in games;
Avoid service games, try them but don't get attached to them if you don't find your enjoyment in the first 10 hours,I only play service games when my friends do too.
Avoid spoiling yourself, hard to do, but so worth it, going in a game blind is a blessing, even when the game doesn't have a plot, the mechanics will surprise you and will push you to try things.
Try everything, even if it means you'll have to pirate games, I only buy a game if I support the developer, and I did multiple times.
I've been doing these for a while and it feels like i'm having more fun now ^^
Hello Yakko, let me get the obligatory “been here since the league days” out of the way first. I started watching you about 6 years ago, starting with “BARD’S BIG ADVENTURE”. I was quite young at the time (18 now) but outside factors and my own actions had already started a phase in my life where I spent maybe just a little tiny bit too much time in my room watching RUclips and playing video games alone, isolated from other kids when I wasn’t in school. I’ve never actually played LoL due to not having access to a good enough computer and also having having had gotten addicted to other games first, but I watched LoL content because the game franchise I did play a shitton (Monster Hunter) didn’t have much content about it on RUclips. LoL content was an extra way to fill the void. But as time went on I just kinda stopped watching you and league content in general, not because I got out of my room more oh no, I just wasn’t as interested anymore. I came back at around the time you were already on your way to transitioning away from LoL content and I felt a kind of connection because we now had something in common, the motivations were different but I didn’t think that far at the time. And as I started watching your newer content, having grown up a bit, I noticed that in comparison to some of the last videos I had watched from you, you seemed to be doing better, from a content and a happiness point of view. Now I don’t know anything about your personal life so I don’t know if this is actually true but it felt that way to me. That feeling of watching someone who was doing something they enjoyed kept me coming back. As I kept watching I found a core difference between us: you play a lot of games, I don’t. I am that kind of gamer you mentioned in the video who spends thousands of hours on one game (franchise in my case) and rarely plays anything else, the exact type of gamer you aren’t. And as I kept watching I rediscovered your channel as something new: a window into the gaming experience of people who “lived” in a subsection of gaming I was not familiar with: Indie games. This novelty along with the high quality of the videos and high brow, sophisticated humor is what has kept me engaged in the content you create and also inspired me to broaden my game collection a bit. Without you (and Dunkey) I would have probably never played Hollow Knight or Furi, or even Mario Odyssey, for this I thank you. I have since gone back to my old ways of mainly playing old world Monster Hunter but I still appreciate your channel and you as a person for sharing with me this new area of gaming and helping me to wonder(sometimes childlike, even) at amazing game design and soundtracks.
Thank you and I look forward to every next video you post.
Thing thing thing
not reading that
this is wholesome
@@ma-pf9lx understandable
Very genuine 💜
all the inspiring lines from the last league montage just give me goosebumps whenever I hear them. While League was a fun ride while it lasted, moving on to other projects and expanding your interest and ramblings in to other games is definitely a welcome change. Thank you for everything you have put out
I like how I'm just now getting into league and everyone is leaving it
The first segment of this video perfectly encompassed the problem I have playing League of Legends with certain friend groups or just alone in general. I finally have a video that I can refer back to whenever I question why I don't have fun playing League sometimes. Amazingly done, Yakko! I loved your League content, but I love your new content even more! Especially since you can tell how much fun you have with making your newer videos. Keep doing what you do, you're awesome!
hard hitting truths
The last cinematic was fullscreen worthy, thank you for making content everyone can enjoy, I'm sure we all look forward to seeing what you make next! Thank you
Man, I only knew you through Matt’s videos, but this was beautiful. I’m honestly kind of upset with myself that I never gave your channel the time of day. +1 subscriber for you, my friend.
I guess you'd enjoy the upcoming Arcane cinematic universe...
That montage at the end brought me back to the old days man, I was not expecting that last montage, it turned a day I would otherwise consider shitty and stressful into a good one. Thank you Yakko.
The way you feel about "hehe funnie character" is the exact reason why I mained Aatrox before he was made functional. I'm the exact same way except with the aggressively edgy characters instead of the quirky ones. There's something so delightful about goofing around and playing silly as like the embodiment of death or Shadow the Hedgehog or whatever
My favorite charaters are ones that i feel would befriend me but stab me in the back to further their own interests, this includes, jinx, jhin, sett, tryndamere, by that logic i feel like there i an untaped zed main potential within me
i used to play gragas with the santa skin whenever i could proclaiming christmas is early and just throw barrels doing laughs and whenever someone killed me id say "you get no presents" tripple dorans into needlessly large rod sorcboots inbetween.
very good times.
aatrox was awesome before he got nerfed into the ground and reworked into some pseudo riven.
glad i got banned and quit the game years ago.
cant even imagine how pozzed it is now.
@@Fallenstartheone oh I play a bit of illaoi and type mahalo every time I kill someone with my ult or my w
In ye old days before boris came around, I played Aatrox full tank attack speed guinzoo.
with the old "heal 6% missing health every 3 autos while toggled" I was litteraly unkillable, this sht was soooo funny.
the thing wasn't even practical, it would never work against really good players, but it wasn't the point, the point was, I designed a sht funny build, and it somewhat badly worked.
yoricks ghoul army even got ignored in the harrowing
I feel the same. I love everything aroung league, like worlds, lore, stories but except the gameplay and playerbase. I quit years ago, but i still enjoy knowing new characters or new contenders for worlds.
Well, this is the first time I’m considering quitting league because I really relate to what you’re saying
You should, I quit awhile ago and I feel much better
Honestly, my friends more or less quit ages before I did. I still like the game because of how I play, but after losing my computer I feel both better and bored.
Well, u should quit, League of Legends is legit a fucking curse.
I already quitted its PC Version 3 years ago, and will never touch the game again, and honestly, those were some of the best decisions I ever made in my life.
If you just don't feel like it's worth it , DONT it took me too long to realize i play but for what? Where is the fun or joy if i can't even play nami mid without people thinking I'm trolling
Just to clear things up I like the game, I think it has fun gameplay and I love a bunch of characters as well as the lore, but everyone is so serious… I like to play the game with my friends when we are in a good mood, because that’s when we have fun. So I don’t know if I’m going to 100% stop, but I am certainly not going to play nearly as much as I have been since I got the game (about a year). If there was a gamemode without runes, and you start lv18 with unlimited gold and an overall objective, I’d play because I’d like to try that out because comebacks are possible. But until then I’m gonna try to stray away from it
I started watching you MORE when you stopped posting about League. The amount of joy and care you feel towards your other content is very apparent and makes them more enjoyable to watch. Negative content draws crowds, sure, but positive content resonates better with people
If Riot is mistreating the game that i play, i might as well stop supporting them and discover new games while I am away.
this is the first time I've seen your videos and man that hit hard. You inspired me to play league a lot less like 3 to 4 matches a week and later quit the game. As a token, i subscribed and left a like.
Well League is like that one friend you’ve so much enjoyed being with and had the best time of your life with, but one day, over the night, he just became totally different person and now you just don’t want to spend time with him.
u ending the video by aurelion sol saying "the bright stars shine on long after they're gone" was perfect
League of legends gone
Humanity restored 🗿👍🏾
I'm not gonna lie, I really miss your Gameplays with the others, but understand where you come from. The important thing is for you to be happy and comfortable while doing what you love. Good for you Yakko. A big hug my guy
I actually miss the game a lot, especially the rotating game modes and the for fun gameplay. It was my only escape from a shitty childhood and it will always hold a place in my heart
This video is by far the video i wished for, for a long time i wanted to make something similar but knew it wouldn't matter since my channel is so small, seeing yakko talk about it in a way that I have felt about league for a while. Thank you so much for this yakko
Yep, my favorite night of league was when I played with a friend and 3 randoms we met on some teamspeak. Our sole purpose in life was to play a team that was centered around traps and using blitz to pull enemies in a hell off teemo shrooms, heimer turrets and caitlyn traps. We had never spoken to those guys before and never did afterwards but for the time it lasted it was amazing.
Shiiiit, literally me. I quit after Aaatrox "rework". They've destroyed several of my other off-meta unique champs too, but my boy Aatrox was the last straw.
*Boris
Yakko, I've been around since your league montage videos. They were my favorite. On an extra bad day, I'd watch your snowdown Orianna video. I'm happy you've found your spark in other things, and no matter what videos you make I'll enjoy them regardless. The ending of this video made me cry haha, you've done so much for the community! We will never forget you
One businessman said "Don't bullshit your customers."
Riot has been bullshitting their players and when people realize this, they leave.
Hey remember the time they had a dungeons and dragons adventure book called “Darktides of Bilgewater” and they got rid of it? Haha me too!
Man we’re never gonna get a dnd adventure book based on the Ruination T-T
i am impressed by how much you covered throughout this video, including the extremely limited tools/software for supporting/upgrading content to upload. i found it hair-pulling to bother using the suite tools especially considering they'd break from micro-patches. for a game that was so upheld in the early years by player content, you'd think riot would have highlighted that a little more. great video!
Man, I remember the days I used to enjoy league, but then one day I realized I just wasn't having fun anymore. It made me angry, and I mean really angry. I was only playing to improve, and I felt like I just wasn't improving, and my friends that I used to play with weren't playing it that much anymore, so I decided to quit and move on, and that was the best decision I ever made.
Fast forward 2 years. I have a job, somewhat of a life, and been enjoying other games now and I'm glad I quit. I've also been enjoying my older hobbies such as art, and writing again. I still play games to relax though and have found my niche.
I do miss the times when you and your friends such as magikarp used fly, and darkmane made vids those were fun! I would love more videos like that even if you don't play league anymore I'm sure there are more multiplayer games you could play! I just discovered your channel you make good videos!
it used to be like, "Oh, yes I play league of legends!"
Now it's like, "oh... uhm... leagueoflegends...."
I'm emberassed to even say that I play it anymore. It's such a negative thing that honestly pulling away from it has done wonders on my mental health
I've had League installed for a while now, not that I play much. I've constantly avoided it because of that competitive toxic playerbase, and how much it turns me into a raging dumbass when I have no idea what I'm doing WHILE getting blasted by 4 people calling me a f*****.
But I'd like to think the reason why it *has* been sitting on my desktop for so long is the amazing art and story that the good people at Riot worked on.
I didn't ask for it, but I really needed this video (and so did my harddrive, lol).
I don't know... I used like the lore, artstyle and music really much, but with seraphine, gwen and all of this anime hot characters I think league is becoming more and more generic. I didn't like the ruination event and the new thresh, or the new karthus pentakill skin. Champions like Asol, Bard, Kindred or Ivern were so interesting concepts, the artstyle was so beautiful. But now everything is generic hot anime characters for more than two years straight. And I fear the MMO will be the same, like those chinese MMO phone games.
this video exactly explains why I stopped playing League. I would play ranked every Sat morning, and one weekend I left my room to get food after my matches and my roommate asked if I had fun. I just stared into the middle distance for too long and then responded... "I don't know". then I stopped playing.
The most viewed league of legends video is about Dunkey moving on from League to better games in 2015.
