@@feitopuns It's not that those versions dont run League anymore, its that Riot decided to cut the support cause Windows is updating. League itself isnt updating its code, otherwise we'd have seen changes long ago, but it seems like it just gets worse with every new addition.
I accidentally quited LoL bc my computer decided to just randomly not work with the game anymore and i miss the game but honestly, my mental health never been better. I was actually addicted to this game and that is sad.
Human Beings have a reliable pattern of behavior and people who study human behavior can easily figure out how get a person addicted to something. The League Devs did exactly that and now many have been caught in the trap including myself.
@@realantagonist5324 Same with Food Companies, Product companies, even Health Companies and the Government. They have got human behaviour down to a science and use it to manipulate us
I wonder why LoL hasn't made a beginners LoL mode where there's only like 40 champs, and players can move into the full game when they feel comfortable
Because people would just smurf in that mode as well. There is no safe zone for a new player because there's no possible way to lock a veteran player/smurf out of anentire game mode
@@DraphEnjoyer Its not like Riot can't detect different accounts from your same device tho. They could easily limit it to people that have no high ranked accounts. Sure you can still have a new motherboard, spoof something etc. but that would be a really small portion of people doing that and prob. benefit the new players. The question is, when are you comfortable? How long should you be able to play that mode?
@@DraphEnjoyer Well, it's simple. You make it so that games in this mode give very little XP, or even none at all. Each game serves as a more in-depth tutorial than the current one, with other players helping you learn the champion you've picked through challenges like farming and using abilities.Wave ,items,objectives etc. This is in addition to normal games where you can earn XP to eventually play ranked matches. In my opinion, most smurfs aren't there to ruin the new player experience but just to quickly get to ranked and start grinding.
@@vanjamenadzer i know, i just said that they will do that, or else they will just keep dodging and dodging and, when they actually go into a game, their teemates will feed and get their asses banned just to make someone annoyed. and why they will feed is on purpose becuase some people actually do that lmao
@@erazemmedved6508 As long as trolls aren't on my team (which is sadly the opposite most of the time), I don't mind some free LP from all the stress this game installed into me. I only play when high because playing while I'm not chill with these low plat monkeys is exhausting.
I actually just got into the game and one thing I noticed is that the game is REALLY hard and unique. The mechanics are rough and more experienced players will just quit as soon as they know I'm new. Most people have been playing so long they can't even help me learn because everything is "common sense" and all the vocabulary is in acronyms no one wants to explain. It's really fun but the majority of the player base actively dislikes new players and it's gonna be rough until I can play minimum silver or gold level
Yeah, that's true. The game being so team-dependent can really bring out the worst in people. Since they generally want someone to blame, it's easiest to target the new player. I remember when I started playing this game over 10 years ago. I only played against bots for a good amount of time because playing against real people was way too stressful to handle.
I'm also a relatively new player. I've been casually playing the past 1.5 years and I don't play ranked often so Im only in silver. The game is really hard to learn but after you learn the basics you realize how easy it kinda is. The hard part is the macro and matchup knowledge of all the different champions. I started playing as a jungler which is the hardest role to learn as a new player but probably the best one to learn to get a grip of a lot of key points of the game. It's def. hard when people get so angry and tilted and toxic over little things (myself included tbh) but best thing I suggest doing if its getting difficult is watching champion guides (or quick guides) and also muting everyone including your team . Yes it will make the gam emore difficult but it will allow you to play as a new player without the extgra shitty toxic feedback certain teammates want to give you.
So coming as a person who is not a professional gold stuck and trained people who are now high gold and low plat, I always welcome teaching people new things. Granted there are way more people who will flame you for stepping 1 step too far out or you took the caster minion when they weren’t even close to it and it was gonna die anyway.
The funny part about it, they can just ask the community to do it for them, like dota 2 does that long time ago and now it's much smoother to learn the game.
@@GoznerPeterthat’s not what this is about, it’s about the fucking tutorial. No one new to this game is going to start learning by watching professional players, they won’t even know what to look for
@@dragomaster2422 More because of the button they add in league than anything, the question is will these new players even spend money in the game? Because otherwise i don't see it continuing much longer, also pvp rn is unbearably bad, no balance update for months is actually criminal to a card game
League is hard to learn, but as someone who learned League in the last few years, it wasn't impossible. Because of the SBMM, I only played against irons and bronze players when I was new so it didn't take long for me to catch up to those guys. I just took things one step at a time and eventually learned what everything does.
Thats the right way to do, sadly too many people complain about those games that have smurfs in it and blame it on them, while that can be annoying for those few games, most games aren't like that and if you get better you climb anyway.
@@Tudas The problem is that ppl want to play with the new players and smurf to make it easier for them but are surprised when they face smurf on the other team while they are smurfing themselves. if you get in league solo and play a few game without beeing premade with a smurf you will be well matched.
At some point, they need to add some sort of Lite game mode. Like, limited items and champions, so that new players can learn the ropes in a more controlled environment.
just like what Dota 2 did if you're a newbie to the game you will be matched to same players who have just started or recently started playing the game.
True, Faker leaving league as a pro play will hurt them a lot. I started playing league in 2019, and I knew who he was before playing. I hope that after he retires he remains in the scene like the coach of T1. For me I'm still palying thanks to Esports. The game it's good, it's fun with friends, but the community, and League players are among the dubmest people alive. It's proplay that kept the league fire in me, I see them do an amazing play, and I want to do it. I learned so much from thousands of hours of watching esports. I even learned hard champs without playing them from watching, like Azir and Aphelios.
@@OutsideJoke i think your take on this is completely wrong. also love how you state all of this and provide no logistics or evidence or stats or PROOF to back it up. Provide REAL DATA, that you have gathered yourself instead of making a bunch of baseless assumptions based on 'experience' There is much more to it than that and if you actually did REAL research and data then most of the things you would come to claim, prove you completely wrong. You don't know anything about this game from a one-sided perspective, try actually learning about the infastructure. You know? REAL INFORMATION THAT PERTAINS TO THE ACTUAL STATISTICS OF THE GAME. and seriously? You people are so ignorant to bandwagon hate for Yuumi that you yourself state to not understand why she is in the game, are you seriously that dense? She is literally for people who are not good at the game, my god gotta love when people have no freakin idea what their talking about.
I actually just got into League in April. And yeah, it was crazy hard to get into. I was at work watching guides and trying to find any bit of information I could to try to figure out what in the world was going on. I'm still learning, of course, and the game is just so deep that there will always be tons of things to study. I'm still not even sure which role I want to play the most. The commitment required to get into the game is significantly higher than any other game that I've played, by a ton. But, it's fun. It feels bad to lose, but winning is pretty nice. I come from a background of competitive fighting games so I'm very aware of what it's like losing to get better, but to play a 46 minute game and losing feels much more like Age of Empires. I don't really know where I was going with this. I guess just that as a new player, the game is fun. I've seen a lot of people hate on the game, which I get. Once you play a game a ton, it brings out very mixed emotions. But League is just a genuinely fun game. P.S. I play with chat turned off so
Once you get better you will see why some players are toxic, every player on the team is important, if you arent doing your job at least at the bare minimum it can cause your team to lose unless you are much much higher rank than your opponent. Keep the chat off.
The core gameplay of league is good But riot completely ruined the game with badly designed champions and shitty decisions The game could have been so much better And the people who play it are so toxic That I dont want to bother with the game personally But if you are having fun all the power to you The game has good things but i personally cant look past all the negatives anymore
This is coming from someone who played teh game since alpha and who loved fighting games, save some mental health and stay away from this game, in teh future, don't act like no one warned you!.
I think what made me learn league was because you can see yourself improve. When I was learning I was an otp gnar top, and I would see myself improve every time I played and that gave me a dopamine rush, I think that keeps players coming in. It’s hard but so rewarding in a sick twisted way because I never have raged harder than I do at this game.
Playing league for over 8 years now and my catch is that it finally rewards me for learning everything. I sit on 14k ish hours, peaked grandmaster and the game is quite fun since there are not that many that can ruin the fun. I don't play ranked until the last month of the season mostly focusing on aram arena normals with friends and thats what makes League so much fun. Playing with friends while also being better than others. It feels like such a good payout after all that time invested (wasted) to finallly be able to enjoy 9/10 Games i play.
@@Phantom-zz3jq You can't even earn that much boosting in League. Master acc is like 60 bucks. A net win in Master 5-10, maybe more if you're on boosting sites, but they still take like 40-50% from you.
League is okay. The problem is the old players who destroy legitimate new player experience. They're the ones who are very toxic. It's like that one teacher that gets angry at every student because he says "it's so simple" while he has a 20 year experience on the subject while the students just has 1 week.
@@carnage0685 Ask the flamer, what do I know. I've played for 12 years and always try to help new players. But I've seen over and over again, people with years of experience shitting on the new players because god forbid you don't know everything about the game. A lot of insecure manchilds play this game
I think what helped League's longevity is that you don't have to buy a new game every year to stay in a relevant lobby/playing with equally skilled player.
I mean to be honest, the most fun i had in league was that sweet spot between the first 2 months to a year, where i was still learning how each champion worked Loading into a game and seeing a champion ive never seen before was so much fun, and its even how i finally picked a main At one point, i thought i had seen every champion, and then I saw neeko on the loading screen. I then decided to buy her and play her next game, and instantly fell in love. I think if league can get people over the first month barrier, and keep players out of ranked for a bit, the game will have a lot more interest
The ever first game I’ve ever played of league was in a bot game and I kid you naught… There was a yasuo who told me “do I have nuts on my forehead?” When I was just learning. Then I knew what I was getting myself into
chat is both a curse and a blessing, mobile "multiplayer" games often fakes multiplayer with bots, and the afterthought feels aweful when you know you flexed against a bot. A toxic community is still better cause you know they're real players and u can just mute chat
Here's the thing: If you don't play ranked, League is actually, surprisingly enjoyable. Simply because there's nothing on the line for you to lose and you actually expect people to be ass at what they're doing as any _sane_ person does practice in normals before going into ranked. On topic, League is probably never gonna die, at least not as a universe. The game itself is constantly updating and changing how we play SR and they even somehow found an amazing long term side queue in Arena that seems to keep people very interested in playing. The upcoming Vampire Survivors mode also looks mighty promising, especially when you played any of those games, you know how addicting they can become.
Bro spoked my whple whole teen/adult life, like wow. 1. I only play league . 2. I do take short breaks but any long breaks ive took which was a 4 year hike I eventually came back and now the addiction is worst than ever. The rush is insane. Its like being a drug addict, you wont ever kick in, it will always bring back flashbacks or withdraw symptoms. It gotten to the point that I quit my job s5 to binge play to make it out of platinum. I do not think this game will ever die.
Matchmaking made me sick of this game, so sick and tired of being the only decent player on my team. I cant remember the last time someone in my elo beat me in a 1v1. Ive even challenged players on the enemy team who hard carried to custom 1v1 games and destroyed all of them. Gonna take the rest of the year off, longest ive been away is 3 months. I doubt I'll be coming back after is break though since last time it was because I had to study for an imporant exam, but this time is because im tired of the shenanigans. Sorry Im ranting to a stranger, glad your experience has been better than mine though.
As a milio main, same. Back when I started in 2018 I played mainly brand and yi. It was so annoying playing draft and having my champ banned. I got back in, and had milio come up in aram, and realized I really liked the champ. Now, I've been played sr ranked (Iron II), and it's great. My champ never gets banned, there doesn't seem to be a lot of competition for the supp role, and the matchmaking is pretty reliable with having roughly equally skilled players.
@@potterfanz6780 I used to main Syndra in season 4, when no one ever played her and nor even banned her in rankeds. I once had 14 streak win with her and my WR was like 70 - 80 % at Plat I. I would have easily reached Diamond, but the season was just ending :/
@@1alexnumaiunul848 just play around the remount. When he gets dismounted, disengage and wait for him to remount via minions, then engage again. His passive has a 30 second cooldown starting when he remounts
Im sick of this game now because of the unfair matchmaking. Ive been playing for 6 years and Ive seen posts on reddit complaining about the same thing from season 2. Its never gonna change and its time for me to go. With you coming back and me leaving I guess the numbers stay the same.lol
The only way to quit is if you do it slowly and if you play other games on the side, It might be hard because you can get hooked on the competitive aspect of the game and can't play casual or singleplayer games, you'll slowly but surely find other things you like and stop playing league as much, and after not playing league as much, a little push is all you need to let go. After 7 or so years of playing I stopped caring about rank, then I stopped caring about SR because at any given time your favorite champion with 48% WR could be picked by some pro and nerfed even more, so I went to ARAM, and after reformatting my pc during the whole Vanguard/killing LoR and Riot Forge thing, I thought it was finally time to let go.
I was so pissed in 2020 with creative decisions by riot that i quit and never looked back My friends forced me to play a couple months ago And one time a little after that when i had nothing to do i booted up the game for a normal game I got harassed and flamed for being bad And after that i remembered that i am better of never playing the game again
When I first started playing a few years ago, I had an easy time learning how to play due to 2 reasons. 1. For some reason I just quickly pickup on the different rules of different games. 2. Meta back then for top lane was pick an ad bruiser and build tri-force -> black cleaver
This game will never die. People are that attached to it that even if riot does everything bad we still play it. Such a bad game but I still play it and have fun. Idk how.
Smurfing is one of the most underrated problems! It's destroys the competitive scene. Which already takes ages to climb. Let alone, imagine if in judo each year they put you a belt down. League does that
Just as Blizzard did with WoW, I would love to have Riot release some sort of "Classic LoL" and give us the opportunity to play earlier seasons of League. A simpler game for new and old school players.
I started May of last year and it took me around 3 months to even start to understand what was going on. Looking back on it it felt like I was just drifting through not knowing what was happening. I also had friends to play with and guide me through
also, people definitely do quit. my one friend i used to play with every day, the same week we got to summoner level 30, he quit the game. that was about 2013. he hasn’t logged on since.
I started playing league around the end of S4 and the beginning of S5, and that was the best time I had playing this game. I quit because I realized it will never go back to what it was anymore, it's just not the same game I used to love... I almost got kicked out of university because I couldn't stop playing during my first and second year. My grades, friendship, and social life suffered to the point where I cannot even recognize myself anymore. Moreover, my life was completely filled by playing league everyday for countless hours, and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about my gaming addictions. I tried to quit by uninstalling the game quite a few times before, but it was only since June of 2020 when I managed to quit completely. On the day that I quit, I was so angry and frustrated that I lost countless ranked games in a row, to the point where I almost raged after I lost a couple of meaningless ARAM games just trying to win for once. I was no longer having fun but rather playing just because couple of friends who introduced me to the game were still playing. What really hit me was the sudden realization that I've put my blood and sweat over all these years, yet I was still hard stuck gold and couldn't win a single game that day no matter how hard I tried. I had never lost my mind like that before and I knew that I just couldn't take it anymore, so I deleted the game one last time for good. Since then, I haven't touched the game and I absolutely don't have any desire to play it again. I regretted wasting six years of precious time, life, and money on this game, and it's something that I can never get back. Looking back at it, I don't miss this game at all. It was simply one of the best decisions I've made as it changed my life completely. I became a much happier person, as I found my purpose and calling in life through my church. In terms of my career, I made the decision to pursue a career in education after I quit. More importantly, just a few months after I quit I met my girlfriend, and we have been dating for over a year now. Honestly, I don't think I would have gotten a girlfriend if I continued playing. Your life will be in a much better state when you stop wasting your money and time on something that's literally a virtual reward and data. Seriously guys life is too valuable to continue to waste it on something like this…
one thing i also really love is their costumer support. the many times i've had an issue and sent a support ticket, it has only taken a couple hours for them to get back to me. and every other game i've had to contact for one reason or another it has usually taken a couple days to get an answer
I disagree with them stopping from creating new champions. There is no limit and it will be infinitely easier to expand the world of league and make skins for new champs than reworking old ones and reworking their old skins for free. On top of that, historically, games that provide new content (refreshing the game and its mechanics as well as ADDING new characters) go on for longer. League, Dota have gotten this far because they consistently add fresh content, not rework old content. Just look at other games like Fortnite and Overwatch releasing new characters and content and surviving. Even giants like Yugioh, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem continue to increase the cast over the years and push through. The day they stop pushing new characters is likely when the game starts meeting its end.
idk how others think of new champions, I just hope there's a better "AD caster" "AD assassin" better tank-melter marksmen, better artillery mage, better healer, etc. idk if everyone thinks the same way, but that sounds unpopular and we should pretend to care/like the lore like how a politician does. I think no one remembered the last few released new champs after balancing them, I think Naafiri is the only one who brought something new as an AD caster/assassin who also sustains. Belveth, Zeri, Smolder are crazy if u let stack.
i learned how to play league at the beginning of 2022 (i had never played a moba before) so i think i'm still pretty new to the game in comparison to others who play. one of the reasons why i got addicted is because there's so much content, so many champs, builds and runes to give a try. it was overwhelming at first but to me it just felt like a fun challenge to learn everything. so the game having so much to learn for new players isnt always a bad thing i think, it's much better than getting bored really quickly
the most important factor I think is that there's not that much new players coming in, shown on the stats that the average player age is going up. It's also super hard for newplayers to join, because : more champs and mechanics than ever, still no (good) tutorial.
I did end up quitting a long, long time ago, and I haven't looked back at all. What finally broke me was the neverending, constant, incredibly drastic item rebalancing. I felt like I couldn't stop playing the game for as much as a week without every single item getting reworked twice or removed. I already had to memorize so much of the game, and it just felt like the effort spent to learn it was constantly disrespected.
What would really improve the player experience drastically and forge a less toxic community as a result is a "Coach Queue" where pro players (Master and higher) can enter random lower ranked games as a spectator for one side that they can communicate with, typically on the side with the lowest average win rating and provide some coaching. After which they would get rewarded RP or some currency based on the rating they get from the players that they can use to redeem for any skin in the game, cost depending on the value or rarity of the skin obviously. Every skin being available through this is important because otherwise there's no real incentive. Imagine unlocking the $500 Ahri skin completely for free just because you were an amazing coach and helped a large amount of players improve at the game, at that point Riot got more value out of you than if you had just forked over the $500. Could even go the route of having skins exclusive to the coaching system as an extra incentive.
Maybe League should introduce a Rotation for Champions like they did in LoR. Every month 10-20 champions get selected and can't be chosen in ranked/draft pick. After that month the next 10-20 get chosen, while the previous ones get reintroduced. Also, increasing the bans from 1/person to 2/person
I think they should create a mode for players under level 25 with a rotation of 30 champions that change every 3 months or so. If it s too short term it won't help much
The point about not quiting league is so true. I have tried to quit many times, but usually come back after a month or a couple of months. Even when i quit for two years, I ended up coming back due to esport and having a bit too much free time during summer. With that being said, i cant play nearly as much as I used to
Hello, newer league player (started last year) lowkey it’s not hard to get started IF you have people to teach you the game a little, ie: friends to play with who’ve been playing for at least a year. And as a new player, I hit gold in a month, and atp I don’t think it’s hard to have a general idea about how each champ works (imo aphelios’ kit is not hard to understand once you’ve played him once)
Think I'm...five months sober now? Maybe six? Anytime I get the itch, I just remember the shenanigans riot has been pulling, and remember how my last week in the game went. And that my favorite champ doesn't work the same anymore.
Imo the champs can go pretty much indefinitely. We are already at a point where remembering all the champs is impossible for the average player. All this does is dimish the edge "knowing" all the champs. This actually gives lesser known champs an edge because your opponents are in the dark. I played urgot b4 the rework and i could surprise my opponents with my abilities cause they had no idea what urgot could do.
A new Middle East server was just launched now everyone in the world has the game localized, a new wave of player will join already 27k has transferred or just started the game there. I would say extra few years. I have a channel for league and another for music. People are starting to flood in.
to be totally real, if riot bothered to make a half decent tutorial, and yknow, made the matchmaking such that new players were matched with new players, and were actually able to learn with each other and get better, a lot of this would be moot.
I've been playing League of Legends since 2009 and finally quit a year ago. My highest ranked was platinum when diamond was the best rank. LoL has lost its charm, you are forced to play a champion in the intended manner. no more fun builds,- no more ap tristana, no more ap sion or ap yi..
Some people say League's dead while I believe League is in coma and is kept on life support by anime player base after it tried to commit a suicide about 4-6 years ago. 2025 will be the year when League's gonna either wake up or the Riot will finally allow this abomination rest in peace. I hope for the second scenario just for the sake of good memories, new games and most importantly League players' sanity.
They need to make "map skins" where just like when you pick a champ, you can chose the skin you want for the entire map. It's exhausting to look at the same freaking map all the time.
As someone who started recently, got bribed by a beer. So far, I've matched only with understanding players. You just gotta tell them before the start that you're new and infact. Not a smurf. But I do 100% agree that, looking at any sort of tip online feels like I'm learning french, hungarian and mandarin at the same time while reading all that with japaneese alphabet.
I actually want to relive starting leauge again. I started in 2020, so the game was already old and complicated and it felt like a whole new world. I had friends who helped me, but thhey mostly laughed at me, but I laughed too it was fun. Discovering new cool champions like OMG theres a spartan guys but also a demon dude with a big sword and an artistic serial killer. I wanted to main them all. And the best feeling of all, when you finally recognize a champ for the first time from a previous game and you remember their abilities. For me leauge had some sort of magic as a new player, but now its just like any other game.
I play Wild Rift and not normal lol, but honestly just ignoring the toxic/competitive side of lol and playing Aram or other casual game modes is where this game really hooked me.
Ive played off and on for the past 5 years and the only thing that really throws me off is when a skin comes out. Pretty easy to adapt to new champs unless you insist on playing that one champ every match
imo lol is the best because of how hard it is. It is super addictive knowing you are learning and getting better each week month etc. in my 2 years of playing each month I can look back on and say I was improving at something. And even now I know that there is still so much more I can improve on.
I just gave up learning the other champions. I haven't played for like 5 years. Started recently again and I just gave up on it. It makes it much better. You don't know what they do but thats exciting to me.
True, if the ADC has no %health damage anything they just don't deal damage on your average case on an average game, and crit items is double susceptible to nerfs due to the wind brothers. They kinda overdid it with Smolder and it locked behind ultra late game phase, I wish there was a Kaisa with Kog W or Kog with kaisa passive.
As what I said, for new players, Riot can restrict champions so they can learn gradually instead of unlocking all at one. I know the weekly champion rotations but 40 new champions is way too many to learn and understand. So restricting players to play or buy champions at certain levels makes them more safe to play as they dont need to memorize 168 champions kits.
They're def never going to delete a champ again (valor lmao), because the backlash would be immense. If anything, they would just completely rework a champ that failed.
I have never played league, my main game is Smite. Which is third person moba. But everything you mentioned apply perfectly on lower scale. This is why i am excited to see smite 2 coming out this year and interested to see people's reaction.
i guess im considered a new player, been playing for 4 months and getting into it is super hard and overwhelming but if you stick with it, it gets easier
one of the big reasons why people play the shit out of new champs when they first come out and then don’t touch them after is because upon a new champ release, there are 2 glaring reasons. 1. they release overpowered so that they sell to the players and idiots spend money. 2. the enemy most likely doesn’t know the champs kit because if you’re like me, every new champ i ban for the first few weeks cause i cbf to learn them or understand what new mechanic or debuff or some random niche way to counter them. i wait for the hype to die down. then the champ gets nerfed or “tuned” and people no longer play it
I really hope it survives for a long time because i just genuinely enjoy the game, i think it's a lot of fun to play alone, with friends or whatever, i just really like that game 😂
They need to remove champs that can’t keep up with the new kits champs are getting, add additional abilities that can balance out the champs that have one million dashes or champs that have so much cc. If they were to make a new summoner spell, increase champs that can use silences, disruptions or blocks then It would be more balanced but as we all know balance doesn’t sell skins. As long as people feel like they can 1v9 it will never die.
knowing how riot is, they’re probably going to release far more than just 300 champions because more champions means at least one skin in the first year which means more money
I remember when I first started playing in 2012, didnt look anything up or have any guidance, I just went in raw. I played nautilus since he looked a bad mf with an anchor. I assumed the build path to every champ was to make up for their "weakness" (AKA lowest stats), so obviously I stacked attack speed items. But through a thousand spam pings and multiple insults to my intelligence I bought a sunfire cape right before we lost. As much as i curse the game i dont think it will ever stop bringing in new players because hard and complex games is what a lot of people want in a game, maybe not casual gamers but people who understand that difficult games have the highest skill ceilings and want to become better to hit those ceilings. If anything I think ARAM will die out long before the completive scene of league.
What made League interesting for me is the universe rather than the game itself (Even though I still love watching the pro scene) so If Riot play their cards right and capitalize on the things they're good at (Animations, Music, story) it will still be relevant but then again it's my opinion.
The real problem with too many champions isn't the need to keep track of abilities. It's that every new champion added will have more drastic counter picks. Eventually every game WILL be decided by draft once an AI app figures out the secret sauce and becomes popular among solo que players.
sometimes those app gets the counterpick wrong or doesn't have enough data(aka nothing to be shown or picks generic high winrate for that role), like almost all ADC has Draven as the counter assuming everyone plays like Faker. And anytime if the sample has more than one CC, the counter is always morgana, not technically wrong but what if it's banned or if the sample is a hard to land skillshot? Tho I do use them to know what's the highest winrate items.
I quit league for 6 years. Hopped back on after T1 lost worlds. Pub stomped normals for like months then decided to rank and hit masters in less than a week towards the end of season 13. Hit masters 100lp. Im taking another break lol.
Ive just started with league of legends I reached lvl 20 and not gonna lie it’s really fun first 10 lvls we’re so hard to learn the game with all the smurfs in it then I wachten TH-cam vids played more and find the good champions that I like and now it’s hella fun to play but on the start it’s so tough but it’s relative easy perhaps since I played mobile legends when I was young it looks a lot like league of legends so for me it was not that hard to learn this game

As long as hatred still exists in the heart of men, league shall thrive.
LMAOO
Toxic Community as ever😂
Even if the game peaks, Riot could just release crossplay with PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo - it'll never end!
@@SSGoatanks If the game peaks they could just add voice chat the begin the rapture

If League ever dies, it'll likely be because its ancient code will make it incompatible with a future version of Windows
honestly prolly true
True factual statement.
The future tech and software systems are going to be like, "wtf is this fossil code"
are you even updated? they also adapts 😂 league is not supported anymore to windows 8 and xp
I mean old school runescape still has weekly updates and an active playerbase
@@feitopuns It's not that those versions dont run League anymore, its that Riot decided to cut the support cause Windows is updating. League itself isnt updating its code, otherwise we'd have seen changes long ago, but it seems like it just gets worse with every new addition.
I accidentally quited LoL bc my computer decided to just randomly not work with the game anymore and i miss the game but honestly, my mental health never been better. I was actually addicted to this game and that is sad.
No hate on league but that computer saved you
Its the riot vanguard shit
Human Beings have a reliable pattern of behavior and people who study human behavior can easily figure out how get a person addicted to something. The League Devs did exactly that and now many have been caught in the trap including myself.
@@realantagonist5324 Same with Food Companies, Product companies, even Health Companies and the Government. They have got human behaviour down to a science and use it to manipulate us
@@KentchessLe my mouse broke and i quit league - lets just say i finally talk to woman again LMAO
I wonder why LoL hasn't made a beginners LoL mode where there's only like 40 champs, and players can move into the full game when they feel comfortable
This is genuinely a smart idea. It’d be cool if the League devs took inspiration from this comment.
Sounds like Dota 2 new player mode, very true and I'm sure it'd work better than Dota 2 with league being more simple
Because people would just smurf in that mode as well. There is no safe zone for a new player because there's no possible way to lock a veteran player/smurf out of anentire game mode
@@DraphEnjoyer Its not like Riot can't detect different accounts from your same device tho. They could easily limit it to people that have no high ranked accounts. Sure you can still have a new motherboard, spoof something etc. but that would be a really small portion of people doing that and prob. benefit the new players. The question is, when are you comfortable? How long should you be able to play that mode?
@@DraphEnjoyer
Well, it's simple. You make it so that games in this mode give very little XP, or even none at all. Each game serves as a more in-depth tutorial than the current one, with other players helping you learn the champion you've picked through challenges like farming and using abilities.Wave ,items,objectives etc. This is in addition to normal games where you can earn XP to eventually play ranked matches. In my opinion, most smurfs aren't there to ruin the new player experience but just to quickly get to ranked and start grinding.

@@vanjamenadzer i know, i just said that they will do that, or else they will just keep dodging and dodging and, when they actually go into a game, their teemates will feed and get their asses banned just to make someone annoyed. and why they will feed is on purpose becuase some people actually do that lmao
@@erazemmedved6508 As long as trolls aren't on my team (which is sadly the opposite most of the time), I don't mind some free LP from all the stress this game installed into me. I only play when high because playing while I'm not chill with these low plat monkeys is exhausting.
I actually just got into the game and one thing I noticed is that the game is REALLY hard and unique. The mechanics are rough and more experienced players will just quit as soon as they know I'm new. Most people have been playing so long they can't even help me learn because everything is "common sense" and all the vocabulary is in acronyms no one wants to explain. It's really fun but the majority of the player base actively dislikes new players and it's gonna be rough until I can play minimum silver or gold level
I'll help you learn. Nothing like making a smurf and playing against bots ;) but honestly, it's fun teaching knew people.
Yeah, that's true. The game being so team-dependent can really bring out the worst in people. Since they generally want someone to blame, it's easiest to target the new player. I remember when I started playing this game over 10 years ago. I only played against bots for a good amount of time because playing against real people was way too stressful to handle.
I'd offer to help, but I refuse to touch the game anymore.
I'm also a relatively new player. I've been casually playing the past 1.5 years and I don't play ranked often so Im only in silver. The game is really hard to learn but after you learn the basics you realize how easy it kinda is. The hard part is the macro and matchup knowledge of all the different champions. I started playing as a jungler which is the hardest role to learn as a new player but probably the best one to learn to get a grip of a lot of key points of the game. It's def. hard when people get so angry and tilted and toxic over little things (myself included tbh) but best thing I suggest doing if its getting difficult is watching champion guides (or quick guides) and also muting everyone including your team . Yes it will make the gam emore difficult but it will allow you to play as a new player without the extgra shitty toxic feedback certain teammates want to give you.
So coming as a person who is not a professional gold stuck and trained people who are now high gold and low plat, I always welcome teaching people new things. Granted there are way more people who will flame you for stepping 1 step too far out or you took the caster minion when they weren’t even close to it and it was gonna die anyway.
Dear Riot: Please just make the tutorial better... this game is just too hard sometimes.
TRUE. League tutorial needs a huge update
And also adaptive AI bot games that become more challenging and helps new players improve.
The funny part about it, they can just ask the community to do it for them, like dota 2 does that long time ago and now it's much smoother to learn the game.
If you dont have it in you to study koreans, watch their vods solo or pro, then just dont play this game.
@@GoznerPeterthat’s not what this is about, it’s about the fucking tutorial. No one new to this game is going to start learning by watching professional players, they won’t even know what to look for
I realized I was more interested in the Runeterra universe, rather than in league, so I switched to Legends of Runeterra. Best decision ever
Unfortunately the game is... Not doing that great rn
The game is dead unfortunatey
The game has a growing playerbase especially since it switched over to PoC focus? Idk what the other comments are talking about?
Massive fan of LoR. Still play it to this day. Incredible card game.
@@dragomaster2422 More because of the button they add in league than anything, the question is will these new players even spend money in the game? Because otherwise i don't see it continuing much longer, also pvp rn is unbearably bad, no balance update for months is actually criminal to a card game
League is hard to learn, but as someone who learned League in the last few years, it wasn't impossible. Because of the SBMM, I only played against irons and bronze players when I was new so it didn't take long for me to catch up to those guys. I just took things one step at a time and eventually learned what everything does.
welcome mate
yeah the sbmm is surprisingly good if your a new player
Thats the right way to do, sadly too many people complain about those games that have smurfs in it and blame it on them, while that can be annoying for those few games, most games aren't like that and if you get better you climb anyway.
@@Tudas The problem is that ppl want to play with the new players and smurf to make it easier for them but are surprised when they face smurf on the other team while they are smurfing themselves. if you get in league solo and play a few game without beeing premade with a smurf you will be well matched.
At some point, they need to add some sort of Lite game mode. Like, limited items and champions, so that new players can learn the ropes in a more controlled environment.
I think maybe a rotating champ pool in general might just be better for the game.
I mean wild rift is pretty much that
just like what Dota 2 did if you're a newbie to the game you will be matched to same players who have just started or recently started playing the game.
It's called League of Legends WIldrift
Nice! i'll try my hand at this lite mode with a smurf account :3
True, Faker leaving league as a pro play will hurt them a lot. I started playing league in 2019, and I knew who he was before playing. I hope that after he retires he remains in the scene like the coach of T1. For me I'm still palying thanks to Esports. The game it's good, it's fun with friends, but the community, and League players are among the dubmest people alive. It's proplay that kept the league fire in me, I see them do an amazing play, and I want to do it. I learned so much from thousands of hours of watching esports. I even learned hard champs without playing them from watching, like Azir and Aphelios.
I’ve played with 2 people who bought the $500 Ahri skin in the same day 😮

i think your take on this is completely wrong.
also love how you state all of this and provide no logistics or evidence or stats or PROOF to back it up.
Provide REAL DATA, that you have gathered yourself instead of making a bunch of baseless assumptions based on 'experience'
There is much more to it than that and if you actually did REAL research and data then most of the things you would come to claim, prove you completely wrong. You don't know anything about this game from a one-sided perspective, try actually learning about the infastructure. You know? REAL INFORMATION THAT PERTAINS TO THE ACTUAL STATISTICS OF THE GAME.
and seriously? You people are so ignorant to bandwagon hate for Yuumi that you yourself state to not understand why she is in the game, are you seriously that dense? She is literally for people who are not good at the game, my god gotta love when people have no freakin idea what their talking about.

Too much text idc
I actually just got into League in April. And yeah, it was crazy hard to get into. I was at work watching guides and trying to find any bit of information I could to try to figure out what in the world was going on. I'm still learning, of course, and the game is just so deep that there will always be tons of things to study. I'm still not even sure which role I want to play the most. The commitment required to get into the game is significantly higher than any other game that I've played, by a ton. But, it's fun. It feels bad to lose, but winning is pretty nice. I come from a background of competitive fighting games so I'm very aware of what it's like losing to get better, but to play a 46 minute game and losing feels much more like Age of Empires.
I don't really know where I was going with this. I guess just that as a new player, the game is fun. I've seen a lot of people hate on the game, which I get. Once you play a game a ton, it brings out very mixed emotions. But League is just a genuinely fun game. P.S. I play with chat turned off so
Heey My peak is plat so if you in Euw server feel free to send me a friend request i'll be happy if i could help
Once you get better you will see why some players are toxic, every player on the team is important, if you arent doing your job at least at the bare minimum it can cause your team to lose unless you are much much higher rank than your opponent. Keep the chat off.
The core gameplay of league is good
But riot completely ruined the game with badly designed champions and shitty decisions
The game could have been so much better
And the people who play it are so toxic
That I dont want to bother with the game personally
But if you are having fun all the power to you
The game has good things but i personally cant look past all the negatives anymore
haha yep, i've been a long time league player recently starting to learn aoe2, this shit must be what it feels like to be a new player again x100
This is coming from someone who played teh game since alpha and who loved fighting games, save some mental health and stay away from this game, in teh future, don't act like no one warned you!.
I think what made me learn league was because you can see yourself improve. When I was learning I was an otp gnar top, and I would see myself improve every time I played and that gave me a dopamine rush, I think that keeps players coming in. It’s hard but so rewarding in a sick twisted way because I never have raged harder than I do at this game.
Playing league for over 8 years now and my catch is that it finally rewards me for learning everything. I sit on 14k ish hours, peaked grandmaster and the game is quite fun since there are not that many that can ruin the fun. I don't play ranked until the last month of the season mostly focusing on aram arena normals with friends and thats what makes League so much fun. Playing with friends while also being better than others. It feels like such a good payout after all that time invested (wasted) to finallly be able to enjoy 9/10 Games i play.
why play for fun if u peak gm? go boost some noobs and make some cash
@@Phantom-zz3jq You can't even earn that much boosting in League. Master acc is like 60 bucks. A net win in Master 5-10, maybe more if you're on boosting sites, but they still take like 40-50% from you.

League is okay. The problem is the old players who destroy legitimate new player experience. They're the ones who are very toxic. It's like that one teacher that gets angry at every student because he says "it's so simple" while he has a 20 year experience on the subject while the students just has 1 week.
how is it the old players who are more toxic? a lot of the toxic people are angsty teens.
@@carnage0685Old players, players who have been playing for a long time, not old of age

@@carnage0685 Ask the flamer, what do I know. I've played for 12 years and always try to help new players. But I've seen over and over again, people with years of experience shitting on the new players because god forbid you don't know everything about the game. A lot of insecure manchilds play this game
Then why are we put in the same game? Blame Riot.
I think what helped League's longevity is that you don't have to buy a new game every year to stay in a relevant lobby/playing with equally skilled player.
True, everything else just wanted premium for something barely any different.
I totally see myself at 70 still playing this game
I mean to be honest, the most fun i had in league was that sweet spot between the first 2 months to a year, where i was still learning how each champion worked
Loading into a game and seeing a champion ive never seen before was so much fun, and its even how i finally picked a main
At one point, i thought i had seen every champion, and then I saw neeko on the loading screen. I then decided to buy her and play her next game, and instantly fell in love.
I think if league can get people over the first month barrier, and keep players out of ranked for a bit, the game will have a lot more interest
ewwwww disgusting neeko main
The ever first game I’ve ever played of league was in a bot game and I kid you naught…
There was a yasuo who told me “do I have nuts on my forehead?” When I was just learning.
Then I knew what I was getting myself into
chat is both a curse and a blessing, mobile "multiplayer" games often fakes multiplayer with bots, and the afterthought feels aweful when you know you flexed against a bot.
A toxic community is still better cause you know they're real players and u can just mute chat
Here's the thing: If you don't play ranked, League is actually, surprisingly enjoyable. Simply because there's nothing on the line for you to lose and you actually expect people to be ass at what they're doing as any _sane_ person does practice in normals before going into ranked.
On topic, League is probably never gonna die, at least not as a universe. The game itself is constantly updating and changing how we play SR and they even somehow found an amazing long term side queue in Arena that seems to keep people very interested in playing. The upcoming Vampire Survivors mode also looks mighty promising, especially when you played any of those games, you know how addicting they can become.
champion ideas? limitless
champion kits? uhh... how about hp% based damage? unique auto attacks? 3 aa/skills?

You didn't quit, you took extended break.
@@ЦветанГергинов-п2л nah, i still havent played it still
Bro spoked my whple whole teen/adult life, like wow. 1. I only play league . 2. I do take short breaks but any long breaks ive took which was a 4 year hike I eventually came back and now the addiction is worst than ever. The rush is insane. Its like being a drug addict, you wont ever kick in, it will always bring back flashbacks or withdraw symptoms. It gotten to the point that I quit my job s5 to binge play to make it out of platinum. I do not think this game will ever die.
Matchmaking made me sick of this game, so sick and tired of being the only decent player on my team. I cant remember the last time someone in my elo beat me in a 1v1. Ive even challenged players on the enemy team who hard carried to custom 1v1 games and destroyed all of them. Gonna take the rest of the year off, longest ive been away is 3 months. I doubt I'll be coming back after is break though since last time it was because I had to study for an imporant exam, but this time is because im tired of the shenanigans. Sorry Im ranting to a stranger, glad your experience has been better than mine though.
The best part of beeing a Naafiri main is that no one expects you to pick it
As a milio main, same.
Back when I started in 2018 I played mainly brand and yi. It was so annoying playing draft and having my champ banned. I got back in, and had milio come up in aram, and realized I really liked the champ. Now, I've been played sr ranked (Iron II), and it's great. My champ never gets banned, there doesn't seem to be a lot of competition for the supp role, and the matchmaking is pretty reliable with having roughly equally skilled players.
@@potterfanz6780 I used to main Syndra in season 4, when no one ever played her and nor even banned her in rankeds. I once had 14 streak win with her and my WR was like 70 - 80 % at Plat I. I would have easily reached Diamond, but the season was just ending :/

@@realantagonist5324lol 6 years damn, that’s some commitment, I started s7 and left for good start of s10
Quitting league is hella hard, the only way I stoped playing was when my pc broke
you just stop playing. easy
The only way to quit is if you do it slowly and if you play other games on the side, It might be hard because you can get hooked on the competitive aspect of the game and can't play casual or singleplayer games, you'll slowly but surely find other things you like and stop playing league as much, and after not playing league as much, a little push is all you need to let go.
After 7 or so years of playing I stopped caring about rank, then I stopped caring about SR because at any given time your favorite champion with 48% WR could be picked by some pro and nerfed even more, so I went to ARAM, and after reformatting my pc during the whole Vanguard/killing LoR and Riot Forge thing, I thought it was finally time to let go.
I was so pissed in 2020 with creative decisions by riot that i quit and never looked back
My friends forced me to play a couple months ago
And one time a little after that when i had nothing to do i booted up the game for a normal game
I got harassed and flamed for being bad
And after that i remembered that i am better of never playing the game again
Or get a job or life
When I first started playing a few years ago, I had an easy time learning how to play due to 2 reasons. 1. For some reason I just quickly pickup on the different rules of different games. 2. Meta back then for top lane was pick an ad bruiser and build tri-force -> black cleaver
This game will never die. People are that attached to it that even if riot does everything bad we still play it. Such a bad game but I still play it and have fun. Idk how.
Smurfing is one of the most underrated problems! It's destroys the competitive scene. Which already takes ages to climb. Let alone, imagine if in judo each year they put you a belt down. League does that
Just as Blizzard did with WoW, I would love to have Riot release some sort of "Classic LoL" and give us the opportunity to play earlier seasons of League. A simpler game for new and old school players.
I started May of last year and it took me around 3 months to even start to understand what was going on. Looking back on it it felt like I was just drifting through not knowing what was happening. I also had friends to play with and guide me through
also, people definitely do quit. my one friend i used to play with every day, the same week we got to summoner level 30, he quit the game. that was about 2013. he hasn’t logged on since.
I started playing league around the end of S4 and the beginning of S5, and that was the best time I had playing this game. I quit because I realized it will never go back to what it was anymore, it's just not the same game I used to love...
I almost got kicked out of university because I couldn't stop playing during my first and second year. My grades, friendship, and social life suffered to the point where I cannot even recognize myself anymore. Moreover, my life was completely filled by playing league everyday for countless hours, and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about my gaming addictions. I tried to quit by uninstalling the game quite a few times before, but it was only since June of 2020 when I managed to quit completely. On the day that I quit, I was so angry and frustrated that I lost countless ranked games in a row, to the point where I almost raged after I lost a couple of meaningless ARAM games just trying to win for once. I was no longer having fun but rather playing just because couple of friends who introduced me to the game were still playing. What really hit me was the sudden realization that I've put my blood and sweat over all these years, yet I was still hard stuck gold and couldn't win a single game that day no matter how hard I tried. I had never lost my mind like that before and I knew that I just couldn't take it anymore, so I deleted the game one last time for good. Since then, I haven't touched the game and I absolutely don't have any desire to play it again.
I regretted wasting six years of precious time, life, and money on this game, and it's something that I can never get back. Looking back at it, I don't miss this game at all. It was simply one of the best decisions I've made as it changed my life completely. I became a much happier person, as I found my purpose and calling in life through my church. In terms of my career, I made the decision to pursue a career in education after I quit. More importantly, just a few months after I quit I met my girlfriend, and we have been dating for over a year now. Honestly, I don't think I would have gotten a girlfriend if I continued playing. Your life will be in a much better state when you stop wasting your money and time on something that's literally a virtual reward and data. Seriously guys life is too valuable to continue to waste it on something like this…
one thing i also really love is their costumer support. the many times i've had an issue and sent a support ticket, it has only taken a couple hours for them to get back to me. and every other game i've had to contact for one reason or another it has usually taken a couple days to get an answer
I disagree with them stopping from creating new champions. There is no limit and it will be infinitely easier to expand the world of league and make skins for new champs than reworking old ones and reworking their old skins for free.
On top of that, historically, games that provide new content (refreshing the game and its mechanics as well as ADDING new characters) go on for longer. League, Dota have gotten this far because they consistently add fresh content, not rework old content. Just look at other games like Fortnite and Overwatch releasing new characters and content and surviving. Even giants like Yugioh, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem continue to increase the cast over the years and push through. The day they stop pushing new characters is likely when the game starts meeting its end.
idk how others think of new champions, I just hope there's a better "AD caster" "AD assassin" better tank-melter marksmen, better artillery mage, better healer, etc.
idk if everyone thinks the same way, but that sounds unpopular and we should pretend to care/like the lore like how a politician does.
I think no one remembered the last few released new champs after balancing them, I think Naafiri is the only one who brought something new as an AD caster/assassin who also sustains. Belveth, Zeri, Smolder are crazy if u let stack.
i learned how to play league at the beginning of 2022 (i had never played a moba before) so i think i'm still pretty new to the game in comparison to others who play. one of the reasons why i got addicted is because there's so much content, so many champs, builds and runes to give a try. it was overwhelming at first but to me it just felt like a fun challenge to learn everything. so the game having so much to learn for new players isnt always a bad thing i think, it's much better than getting bored really quickly
The reason that League still relevant for me. Because The musics ,The stories, The animations. That is so well developed and keeps pulling me back.
So boring bro every year people say league is dead then it goes on for 15 seasons
Did you even watch the video?
League: look our new cool champions
Me: I will keep playing thresh forever
the most important factor I think is that there's not that much new players coming in, shown on the stats that the average player age is going up. It's also super hard for newplayers to join, because : more champs and mechanics than ever, still no (good) tutorial.
We will be talking about this the next 10 years where LoL is most likely still thriving
I did end up quitting a long, long time ago, and I haven't looked back at all.
What finally broke me was the neverending, constant, incredibly drastic item rebalancing. I felt like I couldn't stop playing the game for as much as a week without every single item getting reworked twice or removed. I already had to memorize so much of the game, and it just felt like the effort spent to learn it was constantly disrespected.
What would really improve the player experience drastically and forge a less toxic community as a result is a "Coach Queue" where pro players (Master and higher) can enter random lower ranked games as a spectator for one side that they can communicate with, typically on the side with the lowest average win rating and provide some coaching. After which they would get rewarded RP or some currency based on the rating they get from the players that they can use to redeem for any skin in the game, cost depending on the value or rarity of the skin obviously.
Every skin being available through this is important because otherwise there's no real incentive. Imagine unlocking the $500 Ahri skin completely for free just because you were an amazing coach and helped a large amount of players improve at the game, at that point Riot got more value out of you than if you had just forked over the $500. Could even go the route of having skins exclusive to the coaching system as an extra incentive.
Vanguard was that reason for me to switch to Dota 2
Lol 😂
@@Happojee why its so funny for you
Humanity needs a place to settle their differences and work through their traumas. League is that place.
So true ❤
Maybe League should introduce a Rotation for Champions like they did in LoR.
Every month 10-20 champions get selected and can't be chosen in ranked/draft pick.
After that month the next 10-20 get chosen, while the previous ones get reintroduced.
Also, increasing the bans from 1/person to 2/person
I think they should create a mode for players under level 25 with a rotation of 30 champions that change every 3 months or so. If it s too short term it won't help much
league is not only a game, its a sport, with billions bets every year, its NEVER going to die
The system is on riot. If they want they may just cancel all of this and that's it.
The point about not quiting league is so true. I have tried to quit many times, but usually come back after a month or a couple of months. Even when i quit for two years, I ended up coming back due to esport and having a bit too much free time during summer. With that being said, i cant play nearly as much as I used to
Three words: Legends Never Die.
Shoutout to Riot for getting me to quit League after 10 years by adding Vanguard... Been significantly more happy for over 5 months.
Hello, newer league player (started last year) lowkey it’s not hard to get started IF you have people to teach you the game a little, ie: friends to play with who’ve been playing for at least a year. And as a new player, I hit gold in a month, and atp I don’t think it’s hard to have a general idea about how each champ works (imo aphelios’ kit is not hard to understand once you’ve played him once)
If the number of champions becomes overwhelming, they could simply add a mode where a rotative number of champions are disabled.
Think I'm...five months sober now? Maybe six? Anytime I get the itch, I just remember the shenanigans riot has been pulling, and remember how my last week in the game went. And that my favorite champ doesn't work the same anymore.
Needs voice chat for lit experience LMFAO
Imo the champs can go pretty much indefinitely. We are already at a point where remembering all the champs is impossible for the average player. All this does is dimish the edge "knowing" all the champs. This actually gives lesser known champs an edge because your opponents are in the dark. I played urgot b4 the rework and i could surprise my opponents with my abilities cause they had no idea what urgot could do.
Just started playing two weeks ago. Loving it so far!
At this point it's like asking for how long chess will be around. It's a game thats hyper addictive and competitive. I love it
A new Middle East server was just launched now everyone in the world has the game localized, a new wave of player will join already 27k has transferred or just started the game there. I would say extra few years.
I have a channel for league and another for music. People are starting to flood in.
to be totally real, if riot bothered to make a half decent tutorial, and yknow, made the matchmaking such that new players were matched with new players, and were actually able to learn with each other and get better, a lot of this would be moot.
I've been playing League of Legends since 2009 and finally quit a year ago. My highest ranked was platinum when diamond was the best rank. LoL has lost its charm, you are forced to play a champion in the intended manner. no more fun builds,- no more ap tristana, no more ap sion or ap yi..
Some people say League's dead while I believe League is in coma and is kept on life support by anime player base after it tried to commit a suicide about 4-6 years ago.
2025 will be the year when League's gonna either wake up or the Riot will finally allow this abomination rest in peace. I hope for the second scenario just for the sake of good memories, new games and most importantly League players' sanity.
I just hope they went crazy enough that it leads to URF becoming directly/indirectly permanent.
They need to make "map skins" where just like when you pick a champ, you can chose the skin you want for the entire map. It's exhausting to look at the same freaking map all the time.
As someone who started recently, got bribed by a beer.
So far, I've matched only with understanding players. You just gotta tell them before the start that you're new and infact. Not a smurf.
But I do 100% agree that, looking at any sort of tip online feels like I'm learning french, hungarian and mandarin at the same time while reading all that with japaneese alphabet.
Around the time of Yuumi's release I swapped to dota and never looked back, It was like going right back to season 3
I actually want to relive starting leauge again. I started in 2020, so the game was already old and complicated and it felt like a whole new world. I had friends who helped me, but thhey mostly laughed at me, but I laughed too it was fun. Discovering new cool champions like OMG theres a spartan guys but also a demon dude with a big sword and an artistic serial killer. I wanted to main them all. And the best feeling of all, when you finally recognize a champ for the first time from a previous game and you remember their abilities. For me leauge had some sort of magic as a new player, but now its just like any other game.
i somehow play fewer and fewer last year. My Addiction somehow faded away
I play Wild Rift and not normal lol, but honestly just ignoring the toxic/competitive side of lol and playing Aram or other casual game modes is where this game really hooked me.
Ive played off and on for the past 5 years and the only thing that really throws me off is when a skin comes out. Pretty easy to adapt to new champs unless you insist on playing that one champ every match
imo lol is the best because of how hard it is. It is super addictive knowing you are learning and getting better each week month etc. in my 2 years of playing each month I can look back on and say I was improving at something. And even now I know that there is still so much more I can improve on.
I just gave up learning the other champions. I haven't played for like 5 years. Started recently again and I just gave up on it. It makes it much better. You don't know what they do but thats exciting to me.
I honestly feel like they need more champions. Especially in some roles like adc but it’s kinda hard to make an auto attack champ interesting
True, if the ADC has no %health damage anything they just don't deal damage on your average case on an average game, and crit items is double susceptible to nerfs due to the wind brothers.
They kinda overdid it with Smolder and it locked behind ultra late game phase, I wish there was a Kaisa with Kog W or Kog with kaisa passive.
The longer it lives , the longer before it dies 😂
player addiction just grows if not gets easily replaced by another person.
As what I said, for new players, Riot can restrict champions so they can learn gradually instead of unlocking all at one. I know the weekly champion rotations but 40 new champions is way too many to learn and understand. So restricting players to play or buy champions at certain levels makes them more safe to play as they dont need to memorize 168 champions kits.
Riot: Just tell new players to mute their chats and boom, more players.
10 days. the end is near....
LMAO
10 DAYS UNTIL FREEDOM!! WOOOO
They're def never going to delete a champ again (valor lmao), because the backlash would be immense.
If anything, they would just completely rework a champ that failed.
"Will we ever run out of Champion ideas?"
No because there is a MOBA in the works right now with 700 Champions down already.
I have never played league, my main game is Smite. Which is third person moba. But everything you mentioned apply perfectly on lower scale. This is why i am excited to see smite 2 coming out this year and interested to see people's reaction.
i guess im considered a new player, been playing for 4 months and getting into it is super hard and overwhelming but if you stick with it, it gets easier
one of the big reasons why people play the shit out of new champs when they first come out and then don’t touch them after is because upon a new champ release, there are 2 glaring reasons. 1. they release overpowered so that they sell to the players and idiots spend money. 2. the enemy most likely doesn’t know the champs kit because if you’re like me, every new champ i ban for the first few weeks cause i cbf to learn them or understand what new mechanic or debuff or some random niche way to counter them. i wait for the hype to die down. then the champ gets nerfed or “tuned” and people no longer play it
I really hope it survives for a long time because i just genuinely enjoy the game, i think it's a lot of fun to play alone, with friends or whatever, i just really like that game 😂
They need to remove champs that can’t keep up with the new kits champs are getting, add additional abilities that can balance out the champs that have one million dashes or champs that have so much cc. If they were to make a new summoner spell, increase champs that can use silences, disruptions or blocks then It would be more balanced but as we all know balance doesn’t sell skins. As long as people feel like they can 1v9 it will never die.
The fix for new players is........Just dont play ranked
Normals are not any better, all people banned from ranked are trolling in normals. You know, with the new 5* games rank ban.
knowing how riot is, they’re probably going to release far more than just 300 champions because more champions means at least one skin in the first year which means more money
To be fair to Yuumi, she has a unique playstyle. It might not be very interesting or interactive, but it's definitely a unique idea.
I think they should have stopped at about 120 ish champions. and then only focus on big reworks
I remember when I first started playing in 2012, didnt look anything up or have any guidance, I just went in raw. I played nautilus since he looked a bad mf with an anchor. I assumed the build path to every champ was to make up for their "weakness" (AKA lowest stats), so obviously I stacked attack speed items. But through a thousand spam pings and multiple insults to my intelligence I bought a sunfire cape right before we lost.
As much as i curse the game i dont think it will ever stop bringing in new players because hard and complex games is what a lot of people want in a game, maybe not casual gamers but people who understand that difficult games have the highest skill ceilings and want to become better to hit those ceilings. If anything I think ARAM will die out long before the completive scene of league.
One point that he missed
90% of my friends only play league because it's the only game that works on their ancient computers
I want to play Crossfire another ancient game, but it's forced aspect ratio always caught me offguard feels like a malware was messing
What made League interesting for me is the universe rather than the game itself (Even though I still love watching the pro scene) so If Riot play their cards right and capitalize on the things they're good at (Animations, Music, story) it will still be relevant but then again it's my opinion.
The real problem with too many champions isn't the need to keep track of abilities. It's that every new champion added will have more drastic counter picks. Eventually every game WILL be decided by draft once an AI app figures out the secret sauce and becomes popular among solo que players.
sometimes those app gets the counterpick wrong or doesn't have enough data(aka nothing to be shown or picks generic high winrate for that role), like almost all ADC has Draven as the counter assuming everyone plays like Faker.
And anytime if the sample has more than one CC, the counter is always morgana, not technically wrong but what if it's banned or if the sample is a hard to land skillshot?
Tho I do use them to know what's the highest winrate items.
League is like runescape where you can never quit these games you take breaks
I quit league for 6 years. Hopped back on after T1 lost worlds. Pub stomped normals for like months then decided to rank and hit masters in less than a week towards the end of season 13. Hit masters 100lp. Im taking another break lol.
If you release over 160 champs, 1 ban is a joke :(
Ive just started with league of legends I reached lvl 20 and not gonna lie it’s really fun first 10 lvls we’re so hard to learn the game with all the smurfs in it then I wachten TH-cam vids played more and find the good champions that I like and now it’s hella fun to play but on the start it’s so tough but it’s relative easy perhaps since I played mobile legends when I was young it looks a lot like league of legends so for me it was not that hard to learn this game
Would be nice for new players if we could look up any locked in champs abilities during the loading screen. Then they atleast get to have an idea.
300 champs limit = 300 years of Victorious skins.
Having a player base younger than the game never been that crazy tho , it's just usual
Why did this video feel so long even though it's 12 min
