Im surprised league of legends gets even new players when the average new player experience is getting dunked by 9 smurf players and they flaming and reporting you for being "bad" at the game
i started playing and knew about the games reputation so i just acted oblivious and tried out whatever champ i liked the look of until i finally got the hang of lane
I tried to play league once 5 years ago because my friend was some crazy rank and I always did WoW arena with him so I thought it could be fun.. game 1 I roll gangplank (idk funny pirate man) I have no idea what items and game ramping are, I have no idea what tower/minion mechanics are. I'm in a match with dudes in gold who are telling me to kill myself, "ok that was toxic and yeah I suck for sure, I literally have never played the game" let's try another. Gangplank again because I figure it's better to learn the fundamentals on one champion than it is to try 40 characters. Get sent an Amazon affiliate link for a helium tank and a breathing mask to kms 😅
I played with bot till level 55, it was so terrifying and ppl were so mean, i didnt wanna play with ppl at all. Im 650+ now and dont really care but i dont want to introduce any of my friends to the game lol
Pretty sure many league players are just waiting for another game to be released that establishes itself as an esports title that has everyone start from 0 to make a switch. At least I am, as a former league players. No way I am going back to league, but I'd give any alternative a chance and see if they can do a better job than league at toxicity and game ruining players while keeping fun and engaging gameplay. Personally, I'd love a game similar to WoW Solo Shuffle with voice chat and equal playing field (make gear irrelevant so you can hop on and play whenever).
i remember learning to play league and my friends told me to pick a champion in the support tab that was free to play. i picked Nami and then the next day the rotation changed. i was floored that i had to start playing a different champ lmao keep in mind the only games i had played that were pvp before this were minecraft, dark souls, and CSGO. so EVERYTHING was a huge learning curve
i think league is good but has a gigantic learning curve and its difficult to master, it doesn't help at all that the devs are constantly sabotaging and the playerbase is so deranged
Yeah, I kind of agree with that, but I don’t care how competitive your game is if one mistake can make you lose the match and matches are an hour long. That’s ridiculous.
@@Vexatiouss This is only the case once your past 30 mins in and no one can win ^^^^, so first team to dies, loses. First team to get caught, loses. Understanding this as well, is how you can go 4/9, and win the game for your team.
@@mortysmindblowers6438 Yeah, only at low elo lmfao When people know how to play the game correctly at like around high masters, being 4/9 is a game losing mistake no matter what you do lol
this game only became truly fun to me after my 3rd year XDDD I started playing in 2019 and I was literally bronze last year october. Only then after all that time did things start to click! I peaked plat 2 last split and after placements I'm plat 4 again. its actually ridiculous how much time it takes to understand basic concepts and integrate them into your gameplay.
Are you really this stupid? Platinum is quite literally above average. To even consider learning the basics to be plat level is just cringe. PIease shut up
Everyone saying League is a bad game but ask yourself why you play it. Because it is actually a good game and very addicting. You just don't play it 12 hours a day
It's so true I made a new account pre 30 and it's basically no new players. Whoever has the most smurfs on your team wins I remember playing in season 3 and everyone was new no joke. Noone knew how to play thr game
Best advice I can give is just mute chat and try different characters. The best way to understand how a champion works is to play them. This is coming from someone who’s unfortunately played this game for 11 years.
I have never played league but come from rainbow so I have some idea of what it’s like for a game to have a shit ton of hero’s. But I just had an idea for how to make the game more accessible to learn. It would be interesting to see how it would play out if there was ranked style game mode that restricted hero’s. So at copper or what ever you only have only have access to the basic hero’s , but as you climb, the more hero’s you have access to. So if you are stuck in say gold, it narrows down how much you have to learn. It could be stupid , but might be the only way to make games like that accessible to new players
@@vividly94 I would say the ban phase is to ban hero’s that are op or annoying to deal with, not hero’s who you don’t know what they do. There is certainly some overlap, but I think being able to limit how much you have to learn at once would be helpful to new players.
@@SuperDevilDucky I never ban the OP champions unless i'm playing a champion the OP champion counters. Most of the time, i literally ban champions i don't know how to play against lol ever since i first started.
It's interesting because every point he made about there being no new players because there is an expectation to have 15+ years of knowledge and developed understanding of the game can also be applied to the new player to WoW experience.
I don't think so, yeah wow is difficult but there are so many difficulties to choose (LFR, myth0) especially now where myth+ is mega easy even high keys. I often have friends come to try the game, and they are more off-put by the general gameplay or lack of casual things, but difficulties are more than enough, making one eventually finds his spot where he can chill. I agree however that the game is complex to understand at first, with so many expansions and stuff, but once one tries the current expansion for a bit, he gets how they all work. This is not the case in LoL. In Lol if you make mistakes you are fucked, and the punishment for making them is 100times worse. If you go top the opponent can problably knowledge-check you in a million ways, and you can nothing but feed if you don't know what to do in that situation. If you are bronze and you found your spot in bronze, there you don't chill, you get bullied still, more often than not you never find a confortably spot, because the game is never comfortable. It pushes you and requires you to gain more knowledge without stop. Hell is have to look up a guide every time i play a new character, i never do that in wow, especially at low difficulties no one tells you anything if your dps is low, because they can carry by themselves.
@@robertrubas2634eh people hype up the knowledge checks in league but below gold players literally can't read. if you read your class' items tab and your 3 champion's tooltips you'll get gold.
of coures it has lot to take in to understand because its moba, cmon all of you have been there no matter the game what you played DOTA2, LEAGUE, HON, anything cause this genre of game has a lot aspect and things that makes different genre from another like shooting game only just shoot, fighting game justt pressing the button and do inputs.
League shit, sucks to be a new player, yada yada, yet it's somehow remained relevant and played and streamed by so many people for so long. They're doing something right. Just don't know what the fuck it is.
@@Mr_Mistah Paragon died long ago and whatever extra they're making is very sub par. Also smite is different cause it's a 3d moba, I mean something similar to league eagle eye view.
What they're doing right is implementing micro dopamine releasers and so you're constantly taking hits of your drug that kills you at the same time. Last hitting CS, finding a ward to clear, successfully ganking, landing skills etc, etc.
"too much to learn" for new players? It's nothing compared to dota. I started my moba addiction with Dota2. Left the country, lost my group, stopped playing mobas. Came back to the states and just dipped my toe in league. Easy to pick up. Easy to understand. No issues. Tried to go back to dota? Impossible. I will never be able to play that game again. I have NO CLUE what is happening in the 2 games I played in. Just 0-100 dead with no impact or dmg done to anyone and I could not tell you why because that game has way to much going on.
I'm glad ppl are starting to realize this outside the league community, its really bad out here. its not that you cant succeed as a new player, but low elo where they are supposed to learn with other new players is just a hell hole you cant escape. so why would they keep playing when some random dude riot refuses to ban or let rank up teams up with them and then gets mad cause they cant perform. its honestly not good but I wouldn't really blame either party they both have good reasons to be upset. riot just doesn't fix the problem. I just tell ppl when I know they are brand new to go play unranked. not even as hate. Its just your gonna hate yourself if you try learn the game in ranked
I don't think anyone has mentioned yet that if there was no rank system or world's that the game just isn't fun to play. If I was told I had to only play draft I'd just not play it. Just a boring game with lopsided matchmaking.
i just play aram and have fun. it's also hilarious watching people tryhard and flame in ARAM games. then you have people calling them out because those people are simply having fun. haven't played ranked since season 7 and my mental is great
Well I can just counter your argument by saying that I stopped playing ranked back in season 6, and draft has made the game much more enjoyable for me. Maybe don't state your subjective opinion as fact, especially if you don't have data to back it up.
@@samuelmacek8622 or you fuk over your friends experience because he comes from vs coop int play vs this plat teemo one trick... Imagine seaperate mmrs like good games (like sc2)had for years.
it's weird to generalize ppl assuming they're all casual players. Maybe certain european and na demographics it's true. But you have to realize all the sweaty regions like latin america and asia look at league and it's mot that the game is hard but they lack interest
only reason i play new accounts is because unlocking all champions takes forever so whenver i wanna try something new i just make new smurf my main got banned back in 2013 for typing and i quit until 2018 so yeah i cba they should just let you have every champ for free but instead they are greedy goblins and they extract money from you with the xbox game pass lol
Dont really agree with the no new players because I just recently got my brother and his friends into league and none of them have played it before. They don’t know everything about it but are learning champs and are having fun with playing with each other
I've been saying this for a while man. If you are a new league player 2024, and actually continue playing, something is wrong with you buddy. I'm sry, but you need to be on a list. I started playing right after Nocturn came out and even back then it took ages before you actually knew what you were doing. Doing that today??? Bruh.
You can delay your stream up to 15 minutes, which means sniping your stream they would be 15 minutes behind making it pointless so i have no idea why they dont do that while streaming league.
The craziest part is watching these new streamer's like Forsen be CONVINCED they are 100% right and know what they're talking about. There is something about league that brings out people's EGO. Like day 1 of League someone is like "I'm terrible." Day 7 they're like "I should be challenger my teammates suck."
i got a fuckton of aram games so knowing what each champ does is not a problem but in the rift there is so much more shit to consider. Is the old faker take "if you want to learn league the easiest way, play ryze or twisted fate" still true?
Last year I reinstalled the game with a fresh account after like 8 years of not playing. Wanted to just play ARAMs, cause I'm a filthy casual gamer dad now. To play aram you need to level your account to lvl 3. I actually uninstalled before getting there. The game is so incredibly HOSTILE to new players it's not even funny. Every single game there is at least 1 loser who loves to just stomp noobs and goes 20/0. For every off meta item you buy, every mistake you make you are flamed, or people just leave the game or they just report you so you end up banned. The game is insufferable.
I’ve always been saying that league isn’t even a real game. Half of the streamers and content creators play 1 champion and say “climb to challenger” whilst using dollar store earbuds and a laptop.
Yeah, league is doomed. Based on my friends, I know for a fact that they would happily make the switch and play something else because they are all just fed up - ngl they are annoying as shit in discord too, cant believe I was one of them at some point. They play the game because they've been playing for so long, climbed to "above average" elo and just get a kick out of it when they stomp someone who isn't playing their usual role. They don't want to make the switch and compete with tryhards in other games who have been playing that game for years - because we all know they would get stomped there. League's trend may go up for another 1-5 years, but all it really takes imo for leagues downfall is a new esports title being released (not necessarily a moba) that has everyone - old or young, student or 9-5 andy, casual or streamer - start anew at a similar level. If youve read until here and you want to stop playing league this year. Try uninstalling league before you go on vacation. When you come back, there is a high chance you are either cured and dont want to play it or you reinstall, play a few games and realize how miserable this game makes your life and uninstall it again - worst case nothing changed and you continue playing.
ppl said that alrdy like 6 years ago xdd, reality is no game gives you such a emotional roller coaster and that's what keeps people addicted, not to mention it eats a tremendous amount of time so you're always missing another round
Bad players really have a coping problem with how many smurfs they think are in the game. You have to remember that the game works to where you're just as likely to have a smurf on your team as you are likely to be playing against a smurf. And even so, you really don't encounter that many and they really won't affect your ability to climb until Diamond1/Master+. That's where there's literal GrandMaster/Challenger smurfs in about 25-50% of your games and they have 3-4 smurf accounts in Master+ meaning they are occupying spots that other players should technically be allowed to hold. I mean if every challenger has 2-3 smurf accounts in Masters+, that means there's around 400-600 spots that are artificially filled by smurfs which at the top 1% of players is a MASSIVE chunk compared to Diamond 4 and below.
Here's a simple logic so you can understand. Smurf = good ratings in game = paired with other smurfs New player = mains 1 champion = gets good at it = good ratings in game = paired with other smurfs So when a good new player gets paired with other smurfs who knows the mechanics and skills of champions for years, he'd lose. Simple as that.
bro ever used op gg or anything like it? just count for one day how many level 50 or below players get into ur matchmaking... Ofc those are just new players with 60% and higher winrates that chose to just play one champ since they created the account.
His point is that even low elo players have secondary accounts which they play on to cool off from a tilt, play with friends etc. There's so many low level accounts even in low elo playing like you could obviously tell that these aren't new players and that's his point as an actual new player; level 30 accounts complaining why he doesn't know how all 160 champs work.
just cause someone is in silver doesn't mean they aren't a "smurf", you've people who play this game for 10years on/off and will prob play their 4th character rn and be stuck in silver. They might be bad but they still have already thousands of hours of experience and knowledge about the game. Longtime players literally can't understand how it must feel like to see Yasuo, Syndra or Nocturne and not even know wtf these characters even have for skills at all. You're correct tho that actual smurfs from good players are never even playing below anybody under p2. Idk how it is rn but for the last years starting MMR was E2
That donor at 5:40 "ppl dont realize they're shit at games until they tried league" lmaoo some of the most loser shit I've heard 100% if he actually plays fps games he aint doing shit. League is more strategy while fps and other games are more mechanic based
A game that makes profits of millions of dollars from players all over the world, including those whose job is to play videogames. He can rightfully criticise and be angry about it, right or wrong.
Soda will never fall off. Dude can average 10-15k playing literally any fucking game ever which is insane to think about considering he's been doing it for so long.
such a bad take honestly. the worst thing about league is as worse as you and your teammate's mental. sure there are frustrating things that are out of your control ( bad teammates, ego smurfs on your team inting, smurfs on enemy team diffing, stream sniping ) but let's not pretend that when these things happen ( to even us ) and we complain, we are complaining out of a blameless position. you could have played better too and probably made MANY mistakes (especially if you're gold elo). rarely do I see players have the humility to say "MB" and be accountable for their OWN faults. positive mindset to improve on your own gameplay will make you enjoy the game because it is actually enjoyable and not focusing things outside of your control
Insanly stupid take from you. With the way snowballing works the average silver and below game is just who has the lane with the brain dead pice of a monkey who will die 5 times before min ten, lol is a team game where you can hardly win allone but one teammate can run it down and your forced to pretend that there is a likelyhood above the avaerage dc rate to still win. About "rarely do I see players have the humility to say "MB"" what could be the reason the cancer community which only catalyst for there selfhatred is to devalue other people even more than they do to them self? No, the 1/8 top lane would never start blaming the jungler after one failed gank at min 15 for there inability to use there brain...
The game is just more enjoyable if you don't care about winning. As long as I'm consistently making fun plays and not getting shit on I'm having fun. I just peaked diamond 1 recently as sup teemo, mental really is everything lmfao.

yeah great set up for streaming, lot of interaction potential there...
At that point just post the vods to RUclips after the fact because you're getting 0 engagement streaming.
The craziest part is watching these new streamer's like Forsen be CONVINCED they are 100% right and know what they're talking about.
There is something about league that brings out people's EGO. Like day 1 of League someone is like "I'm terrible." Day 7 they're like "I should be challenger my teammates suck."

Every other game? Bro its every game
Just to be more realistic 😆 like when a person says "a lot" instead of "most" because they're aware that they don't actually know if it's most or not.
i got a fuckton of aram games so knowing what each champ does is not a problem but in the rift there is so much more shit to consider.
Is the old faker take "if you want to learn league the easiest way, play ryze or twisted fate" still true?
Also playing against a champion in lane is vastly different than playing against them in aram
Last year I reinstalled the game with a fresh account after like 8 years of not playing. Wanted to just play ARAMs, cause I'm a filthy casual gamer dad now. To play aram you need to level your account to lvl 3. I actually uninstalled before getting there. The game is so incredibly HOSTILE to new players it's not even funny. Every single game there is at least 1 loser who loves to just stomp noobs and goes 20/0. For every off meta item you buy, every mistake you make you are flamed, or people just leave the game or they just report you so you end up banned. The game is insufferable.
How can you be a father while still being a child yourself 😂 yikes bro
I’ve always been saying that league isn’t even a real game. Half of the streamers and content creators play 1 champion and say “climb to challenger” whilst using dollar store earbuds and a laptop.
this makes no sense lol. So is mario not a real game too than?
Actual Ioser WTF 😂
League is like a Chinese mobile phone game but for the PC, except it's somehow worse.
Yeah, league is doomed.
Based on my friends, I know for a fact that they would happily make the switch and play something else because they are all just fed up - ngl they are annoying as shit in discord too, cant believe I was one of them at some point. They play the game because they've been playing for so long, climbed to "above average" elo and just get a kick out of it when they stomp someone who isn't playing their usual role. They don't want to make the switch and compete with tryhards in other games who have been playing that game for years - because we all know they would get stomped there.
League's trend may go up for another 1-5 years, but all it really takes imo for leagues downfall is a new esports title being released (not necessarily a moba) that has everyone - old or young, student or 9-5 andy, casual or streamer - start anew at a similar level.
If youve read until here and you want to stop playing league this year. Try uninstalling league before you go on vacation. When you come back, there is a high chance you are either cured and dont want to play it or you reinstall, play a few games and realize how miserable this game makes your life and uninstall it again - worst case nothing changed and you continue playing.
ppl said that alrdy like 6 years ago xdd, reality is no game gives you such a emotional roller coaster and that's what keeps people addicted, not to mention it eats a tremendous amount of time so you're always missing another round
i love riot games and the great chinese state long live xi jinping
Bad players really have a coping problem with how many smurfs they think are in the game. You have to remember that the game works to where you're just as likely to have a smurf on your team as you are likely to be playing against a smurf. And even so, you really don't encounter that many and they really won't affect your ability to climb until Diamond1/Master+. That's where there's literal GrandMaster/Challenger smurfs in about 25-50% of your games and they have 3-4 smurf accounts in Master+ meaning they are occupying spots that other players should technically be allowed to hold. I mean if every challenger has 2-3 smurf accounts in Masters+, that means there's around 400-600 spots that are artificially filled by smurfs which at the top 1% of players is a MASSIVE chunk compared to Diamond 4 and below.
Here's a simple logic so you can understand.
Smurf = good ratings in game = paired with other smurfs
New player = mains 1 champion = gets good at it = good ratings in game = paired with other smurfs
So when a good new player gets paired with other smurfs who knows the mechanics and skills of champions for years, he'd lose. Simple as that.
Ok league cuck😂
bro ever used op gg or anything like it? just count for one day how many level 50 or below players get into ur matchmaking... Ofc those are just new players with 60% and higher winrates that chose to just play one champ since they created the account.
His point is that even low elo players have secondary accounts which they play on to cool off from a tilt, play with friends etc.
There's so many low level accounts even in low elo playing like you could obviously tell that these aren't new players and that's his point as an actual new player; level 30 accounts complaining why he doesn't know how all 160 champs work.
just cause someone is in silver doesn't mean they aren't a "smurf", you've people who play this game for 10years on/off and will prob play their 4th character rn and be stuck in silver. They might be bad but they still have already thousands of hours of experience and knowledge about the game. Longtime players literally can't understand how it must feel like to see Yasuo, Syndra or Nocturne and not even know wtf these characters even have for skills at all.
You're correct tho that actual smurfs from good players are never even playing below anybody under p2. Idk how it is rn but for the last years starting MMR was E2
Dota for children.
That donor at 5:40 "ppl dont realize they're shit at games until they tried league" lmaoo some of the most loser shit I've heard
100% if he actually plays fps games he aint doing shit. League is more strategy while fps and other games are more mechanic based
Sodapoppin sounds like an absolute child.
he literally just stated how it is
jeeeez, his job is to play a videogame so stop cry
A game that makes profits of millions of dollars from players all over the world, including those whose job is to play videogames. He can rightfully criticise and be angry about it, right or wrong.
Crazy that Sodapoppin is still even around. I genuinely thought he fell off super hard.
What does "fell off" mean according to you?
@@Mr_Mistah Massive % viewer loss, no longer seen on front pages of their respective games, etc.
@@Leon14000 not really, aint no xqc but still gets 10-20k views live, so think hes doing fine.
Soda will never fall off. Dude can average 10-15k playing literally any fucking game ever which is insane to think about considering he's been doing it for so long.
viewer amount doesn't define how entertaining a person is, at all
you can have 100 views and still possibly have the most fun stream on the platform
such a bad take honestly. the worst thing about league is as worse as you and your teammate's mental.
sure there are frustrating things that are out of your control ( bad teammates, ego smurfs on your team inting, smurfs on enemy team diffing, stream sniping )
but let's not pretend that when these things happen ( to even us ) and we complain, we are complaining out of a blameless position.
you could have played better too and probably made MANY mistakes (especially if you're gold elo). rarely do I see players have the humility to say "MB" and be accountable for their OWN faults.
positive mindset to improve on your own gameplay will make you enjoy the game because it is actually enjoyable and not focusing things outside of your control
really not a bad take, what you are saying here is your experience after x amount of years playing this shit
Insanly stupid take from you. With the way snowballing works the average silver and below game is just who has the lane with the brain dead pice of a monkey who will die 5 times before min ten, lol is a team game where you can hardly win allone but one teammate can run it down and your forced to pretend that there is a likelyhood above the avaerage dc rate to still win. About "rarely do I see players have the humility to say "MB"" what could be the reason the cancer community which only catalyst for there selfhatred is to devalue other people even more than they do to them self? No, the 1/8 top lane would never start blaming the jungler after one failed gank at min 15 for there inability to use there brain...
The game is just more enjoyable if you don't care about winning. As long as I'm consistently making fun plays and not getting shit on I'm having fun. I just peaked diamond 1 recently as sup teemo, mental really is everything lmfao.
@@CuddleCakez even basing fun around that is tough when you try everything for a good play and end up short
@@mementomori1174 True enough. I guess playing easy champs like shroom teemo and malz does the trick for me. x.x
