@@VolodyaTheFroge not really. That just shows that you're not playing league. Most people are getting so addicted they don't quit for literal decades (couldn't be me) Regardless of how many times I reach challenger I get 400lp inting dogs that ruin the whole day. And as much as riots are targetting ranked as being the only queue accessible, specifically swaying people away from playing anything other than soloq it's just literally not fun.
Wish more people understood that 'burnout' is a real thing even in video games. Nice to see positive content of how to enjoy gaming, and avoid bad head space.
I am a rather new player (2020-2021) and league ironically became a sort of comfort game for me. I just head into the normal, play what I like to play the way I wanna play and am happy. But even with that, I feel like I couldnt focus on this game alone. League lacks things, and switching it our with other stuff really helps keeping it fun. Intersecting League also helps keeping the other games fun. It really keeps me from going into a "gaming isnt fun anymore" episode. - As you said ULTRAKILL is the best shooter ever made, and It really hits that feeling a mechanical outplay gives you. - Stardew Valley and Terraria are games I can play ad infinitum - Limbus Company and its prequels are games I could just gush several hours about with how much they mean to me Since playing League I learned a lot. About the game, about the ugly sides of a few friends, but also about me and my frustration tolerances. I genuinely got more chill, and ARAM has turned into my go-to "i just wanna game something with the boys" game. The comment got a bit chaotic, but basically I appreciate the game for what I can take from it. Some might say I dont play it right, but if it aint fun... why bother?
I have been playing League for 6 years, on and off. Most of my time played, i played with friends, but due to circunstancies with them, i have found myself playing alone for probably the first time in 6 years. It may be the fact that i have been "detoxed" from league for over a year, it may be the peace of hearing my favorite songs while playing a game, but i am truly having fun playing the game. Yes, there are moments in which i found myself angry, but they don't last alot; the whacky interactions, the rewarding feeling of making a good play, i feel above league. And i'm having fun because of it.
Ive played in prime league (the german semipro-league) nonstop between 2021 and 2023, and on a high division at that. At some point i just got SO burnt out and frustrated of it all that i even started lashing out at my teammates - which i NEVER do. i started playing there thinking i wouldnt achieve anything and when i actually DID, i didnt even notice i started caring more about winning than having fun. defaulted to always playing top-of-the-meta champs and practicing even when i wasnt in the mood. then, late last year, i took a break. for half a year i didnt touch league at all, and after that ive only been playing normals with friends here and there - even playing really weird offmeta stuff. What i want to say is, its easy to forget to have fun. If you are just grinding ranked for recognition or something, dont. People are gonna say "congrats" and thats like a few seconds of payoff to a grind that took you potentially hundreds of hours. Do not forget to have fun, it is a game afterall. If any of my ex-primeleague-teammates read this, i am very sorry for how i acted in the final split we played together.
Took a 3 month break and I’m having some fun with the game again. Might play more ranked as well next season with the feats stuff since I like playing assassins, among other classes.
getting my ass kicked by Manamune Kasadin was one of the best things to happen for my league experience, thank you for showing the fun of truly offmeta
This, this is why I love the community that I am now apart of. League doesn't need to be what "everyone" might categorises it as, it just need to be a game.
I recently got back into league and muting the chat has made this current phase of playing league by far the most fun I've had with the game. It helps that I've also been inproving recently in both mechanics and mindset, playing primarily for fun but also taking the game relatively seriously enough to play well, though not to the point of feeling like shit if I don't win. If I'm on a losing streak and get tilted, I remind myself that it's a game and that games are supposed to be fun, even competitive games, so if that can't be had right now, it's best to walk away for a bit and do something else.
I would argue that I’m one of the few that actually enjoys most of not all facets of the game and I still have yet to master the mindset of treating this game like tf2, which is a point I hope to get to eventually
Dude same, I still have a blast playing the game. Whether in running around unkillable as my Galio Support, making my team unkillable with Locket Seraphine, or kidnapping people with Kench, there is so much goofy ass stuff to have fun with in this game. My biggest complaint is how much Riot seems to gut any of the weird, slightly off meta builds i enjoyed. Hybrid AP/Tank shyvanna, Ingenious Hunter Poppy and Sion, AP Kench, PTA Evenshroud Pantheon. So many funky builds just dont exist anymore. It's sad, but that just means i get to find some new cheese.
I genuinely enjoy the game. I've played it for 7 years and anytime I got frustrated, I played something else. I've kept a love for this game and lost friendships and partners over it. My friends keep "caving" and playing League again but I'm always there, waiting to queue up with them.
Oh man, you speak out of my soul! Senna top here. Off-Meta! Just like you I like to come up with MY OWN stuff. Having some ppl arround just makes it more fun
Amazing video! I took a 3 year break from league, because in my opinion if you reach a point in any game that you say "whats the point of this" get out. Now i am enjoying the game playing a playstyle that i never did before and i am trying to win against my anxiety playing ranked! One thing to be playing ranked vs normals, in normals it doesnt matter how much you play, you dont feel nothing changing, the range of players there is too random or either you WIN the game with no issues or you got hard, in ranked, you feel that all 10 of you are in a closer level, so makes improving easier. And like our fellow thresh enjoyer, fun first :D.
Honestly what ruins my fun of the game nowadays, besides toxic teammates, is the balancing. I don't play particularly good champions, i play a champ because i like them not because they are strong or anything, and as a consequence i have around 720 wins to 810 losses, i only play normal. Now i don't mind losing a good game, but that just doesn't happen anymore, it's always a complete massacre for one team or the other, the matchmaking is completely out of whack. It's always all of the lanes on one side winning all at the same time, they don't even try to hide the manipulations on the matchmaking, or how it is now called, losers queue. One team is meant to lose every time, and while that is not always what happens, it is 90% of the time or more. I think toxicity is just the result of how helpless games feel, if you give just an inch to the enemy team, the game is over. Maybe not impossible to come back but that made things much much harder and then people become tilted and there is no coming back from that. The game need to be less snowbally, riot says they want to make it happen but every year the game is more and more snowbally, they are not even trying.
Once i just started focusing on my own gameplay and not worrying too much about wins or losses, it got a lot more relaxing. And this is high Master low GM (although i main Ornn and Cho, so that helps)
The other day I was playing a game of Yorick mid and I got fed. After lane swapping with my GP top I just farmed with the enemy Tahm while telling them to take heart steel stacks when it was up. When our aggro focused allies showed up we would fight. But when we were alone we were right back to farm and chill. Sometimes it just takes the right mental to just really have fun with the game and when it's fun boy is the game fun.
If Thresh was reworked to an aatrox level of change, I will become a Fortnite streamer. Since there were two weab games: First one is a gacha game called "Zenless Zone Zero". I know nothing about it I just wanted generic gacha footage. Some viewers like it, tho. The second VN one is a rhythm game called Project SEKAI.
@@CryoBeat Where is ZZZ? I just miss it? I see PSO2, Ultrakill, two games in suggestion, MHW(my fav game) and... and it's all? I maybe missed it somewhere :c
my man really said gold 5. we can tell you don't play ranked bro xd. keep enjoying the off meta builds that's what we love u for. also heck yeah ultrakill where act 3
I'd like to focus on the "off meta" part of the video. I love off meta stuff. Feels like a way to challenge myself, without half the pressure of an actual challenge! I've done it in other games like Destiny 2 and what I call my "meme-bow" build, and now I found myself having a great time in League playing none other, than tank/bruiser Kha'zix top! It's like, you're not supposed to win, but when you do, it's hilarious! If you don't, you weren't supposed to anyway. It keeps me sharp, I do NOT wanna int and the objective is to prove to everyone in that game that it's (somewhat) viable. My advice to anyone that wants to go off meta is to do it with something you're comfortable with. Don't go playing AP thresh without knowing how to play thresh, don't play kha'zix top without knowing how to play kha'zix. The key is theory crafting on something you're already familiar with, building something that in theory makes sense, learning the practical curves that come with it and tweaking it to improve it along the way.
League is fun because it is difficult, and doing something difficult well is gratifying. People forget that tis is a very competitive game, and they just want to play suboptimally and somehow still win. That's just not how a competitive game works, and if you find it too competitive then the game is not for you
Only thing I've been playing is ARAM and Arena when they enable it. I haven't had fun in a normal game in many, many seasons. Still enjoy watching others playing normals though, specially troll picks like Alistar top and your take on Thresh
I only got into league 2 years ago, spent the past 18months not playing it and came back to it about a month and a bit ago playing wacky off meta AP gragas. But now im enjoying limbing playing as chogath (because chogath is fun and for cool attractive people such as myself).... also cryo , you should play limbuscompany
League is fun! Based take. I still play league, I still have fun with it. The worst thing is usually other people condemning me for it. Like what the fuck, dude?
The most fun I had playing league was either playing with full pre-made team and doing absolute goof or playing tank quinn in aram. So yeah, either change people you play with from randoms to pre-made or do some goofy ahh builds
raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ultrakill mentioned Also, I use the following to determine if I should play a game of league: - do I have friends I enjoy playing with currently online - am I actually playing well today - am I in a good mental state because god knows league can make a bad day worse
The people complaining about the game now, were not the same people around in season 3 when lee and shyvana were unkillable gods, imo the game used to be 10x more frustrating, you can win through more means now as well
If I ever get to the point where the last 10 seconds of a game (i.e. which nexus gets destroyed) is dictating my enjoyment, I'll know something is wrong
I think the toxicity goes far beyond the chat. I've wanted to try and climb using Rell top super off meta, but I always turn back because i start thinking there's a great chance I get banned when I just want to have fun and see how far I can go with a extremely weird pick That's pretty much why i don't play anymore
I must say I've never had a punishment for playing even the most stupid of off meta. As far as I know, it doesn't go against the rules and isn't a bannable offense. It only is if you be toxic in game about it. As far as I know and have experienced, anyway.
YES HYBRID THRESHHHH I run Tank Hybrid sometimes, basically mimicking the Tahm Kench AP build but slipping in Titanic or Overlords for some AD. Or I just build an abomination knock off Shyvana build wiht Shojin and some AP items
when you actually quit league , the only thing you realize how not worth it was , there are soo many games out there that can provide atleast as much if not more fun than best moments in league ever had , not even gonna get into how shitty of a company riot is , its just not worth it
The common take is that league is unfun for a variety of reasons. But this is a take that many just don't have the time to elaborate why it's not fun, even tho they kept going back. For me personally, I quit playing league and only actively watches content on youtube, yours included. League was fun, it probably still is. I have hundreds of euros sank into it for a reason, but I cannot agree with you that league's unfun factors outweight the fun part. I'm like you, I loved off meta picks, I was literally too blind to read chat to even see toxic flaming, I didn't care that much if I lost or won, I cared more if my strategy was worked at least once. But you can't expect the average league player, hell, average human being to play this piece of feces to keep a sane mental for too long when the game is inherently competitive and 50% of the games are bount be lost. Most people care about end results, humans feel losses 10x more than wins, and the half of the games lost feel much worse than the 10 games you won. Again, I'm just like you, but I have my very personal reasons to quit league, Vanguard was just the last straw on the back and now I'm happy that I'm not playing it anymore looking at the horrendous gacha slowly getting shoved in lol. I rambled for too long for a comment and probably didn't elaborate why I don't really agree on why it isn't fun. Tldr, too much bad ourweights good, not everybody can have a good mentality to ignore the toxic side of things, years of baggage for long term players, etc.
Hot take: MECHANICALLY, League is fantastic game. I haven't been playing it for the past month or so (not because of taking a break, but because of PC problems), but when I was... I genuinely was not feeling "powercreep" or "balance issues". May it be because I play good champions, such as Urgot? Yeah, but I also play utter trash (competitive-wise) such as Aphelios and Azir. So, honestly... hot take, but I enjoy this game a lot.
Look don't get me wrong. I hate this game... like a lot... but I can't escape it. It scratches that one part of my brain that no other game will ever satisfy. No matter how mad this game makes me I always find myself coming back to it. If I have to mute the chats and pings then so be it but I need something to scratch the MOBA itch that simply hardly any other games will ever do...
I don't know what game you are playing, but losing 2/3rd of the games regardless of what position, what champion and how well I play is most definitely NOT fun. It's bloody hell, and the fucking "game" is so addictive to boot. It's fucking drug, not a game!
off meta = fun, until ur picks gets nerfed thanks to other things and dont get buffed, kled mid (nerfed cause aatrox), sej full ap mid (nerf cause ap champs), kayn top (nerf thanks mostly because sion passive interaction with prowlers claw, because why stop the use of items in passive if u can remove it). But let the rno hands and statcheck champions yone, yasuo, riven, malph, etc, be op for 5 years already because 1 item powerspike is the stupidest shit ever. The moment this champs where nerf because changes to items they buff them inmediately, specially the windshitter brothers.
I play... what... 1700h already in league?(i have Playnite so i can say how long i play it) I never got this seriousness... even in ranked, i was plat, then gold, then silver, and now bronze :D Can't deny, i'm probably not so great player, but can still fight back. LoL for me it's just another game that me and my gf is playing together. It's just fun. Well, probably not always, cuz i have bad days when i just can't last hit or kill champ with 100 hp, but i never understood toxicity and throwing game, like maaaan, you came here just to play a GAME, PLAY, GAME. Some just treat league like a... oh i don't even know like how, like it's critic to always win? You can't win always, somebody always be better. I everyday fight vs full team(like 5 enemies in party), i'm sick of it, but, there is more experience for me, i can get better. But well, i never learn cuz i don't analyze game afterwards, i just play :D So.. man, game made to be playing, not just raging, just learn something more, google some strats, play on other lines, i like mid, ADC and sup. I love Karma mid, i love Varus ADC, i love Nami sup and i just play and have fun, this is what matters
League is fun* *when the people don't treat it like a competitive always, when ya avoid power creep characters or know how to play around them. Ya know what i hate the most tho? The "off meta" picks people play completely unviable things like "karthus adc" and "darius ap" I don't mind people playing off meta but for the love of god, stop making others suffer with your actions too.
Oh man do I have bad news for you about this channel... (though for real, yeah I don't think anyone is playing those with intention to win. I know I'm not)

The only way to have fun playing league is by doing ap malphite, rock solid.
Thresh main more like Thrash main, I'm Blitz main and Thresh is my archenemy.
Yes
when you actually quit league , the only thing you realize how not worth it was , there are soo many games out there that can provide atleast as much if not more fun than best moments in league ever had , not even gonna get into how shitty of a company riot is , its just not worth it
I will not fall for thine lies deceiver.
My goat
i agree
Try playing Qiyana for one game, we"ll see just how fun that is
AP Qiyana is on the way
DO NOT TIER ON THE WORLD LINK! WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
You cannot stop me
The common take is that league is unfun for a variety of reasons. But this is a take that many just don't have the time to elaborate why it's not fun, even tho they kept going back.
For me personally, I quit playing league and only actively watches content on youtube, yours included.
League was fun, it probably still is. I have hundreds of euros sank into it for a reason, but I cannot agree with you that league's unfun factors outweight the fun part.
I'm like you, I loved off meta picks, I was literally too blind to read chat to even see toxic flaming, I didn't care that much if I lost or won, I cared more if my strategy was worked at least once. But you can't expect the average league player, hell, average human being to play this piece of feces to keep a sane mental for too long when the game is inherently competitive and 50% of the games are bount be lost. Most people care about end results, humans feel losses 10x more than wins, and the half of the games lost feel much worse than the 10 games you won.
Again, I'm just like you, but I have my very personal reasons to quit league, Vanguard was just the last straw on the back and now I'm happy that I'm not playing it anymore looking at the horrendous gacha slowly getting shoved in lol. I rambled for too long for a comment and probably didn't elaborate why I don't really agree on why it isn't fun.
Tldr, too much bad ourweights good, not everybody can have a good mentality to ignore the toxic side of things, years of baggage for long term players, etc.
Hot take: MECHANICALLY, League is fantastic game. I haven't been playing it for the past month or so (not because of taking a break, but because of PC problems), but when I was... I genuinely was not feeling "powercreep" or "balance issues". May it be because I play good champions, such as Urgot? Yeah, but I also play utter trash (competitive-wise) such as Aphelios and Azir. So, honestly... hot take, but I enjoy this game a lot.
This is was actually just pep talk for yourself, huh 😏
Look don't get me wrong. I hate this game... like a lot... but I can't escape it. It scratches that one part of my brain that no other game will ever satisfy. No matter how mad this game makes me I always find myself coming back to it. If I have to mute the chats and pings then so be it but I need something to scratch the MOBA itch that simply hardly any other games will ever do...

6:10 pjsk player spotted?
mizu5 moment
is that fucking mafuyu in tekken 8
i will not speak about pjsk for several hours (i am mizuki relate and I am to afraid to read even mizu5 please help)
I don't know what game you are playing, but losing 2/3rd of the games regardless of what position, what champion and how well I play is most definitely NOT fun. It's bloody hell, and the fucking "game" is so addictive to boot. It's fucking drug, not a game!
off meta = fun, until ur picks gets nerfed thanks to other things and dont get buffed, kled mid (nerfed cause aatrox), sej full ap mid (nerf cause ap champs), kayn top (nerf thanks mostly because sion passive interaction with prowlers claw, because why stop the use of items in passive if u can remove it). But let the rno hands and statcheck champions yone, yasuo, riven, malph, etc, be op for 5 years already because 1 item powerspike is the stupidest shit ever. The moment this champs where nerf because changes to items they buff them inmediately, specially the windshitter brothers.
I play... what... 1700h already in league?(i have Playnite so i can say how long i play it) I never got this seriousness... even in ranked, i was plat, then gold, then silver, and now bronze :D
Can't deny, i'm probably not so great player, but can still fight back. LoL for me it's just another game that me and my gf is playing together. It's just fun. Well, probably not always, cuz i have bad days when i just can't last hit or kill champ with 100 hp, but i never understood toxicity and throwing game, like maaaan, you came here just to play a GAME, PLAY, GAME. Some just treat league like a... oh i don't even know like how, like it's critic to always win? You can't win always, somebody always be better. I everyday fight vs full team(like 5 enemies in party), i'm sick of it, but, there is more experience for me, i can get better. But well, i never learn cuz i don't analyze game afterwards, i just play :D
So.. man, game made to be playing, not just raging, just learn something more, google some strats, play on other lines, i like mid, ADC and sup. I love Karma mid, i love Varus ADC, i love Nami sup and i just play and have fun, this is what matters
It's very fun, stop raging

League is fun*
*when the people don't treat it like a competitive always, when ya avoid power creep characters or know how to play around them.
Ya know what i hate the most tho? The "off meta" picks people play completely unviable things like "karthus adc" and "darius ap" I don't mind people playing off meta but for the love of god, stop making others suffer with your actions too.
Oh man do I have bad news for you about this channel...
(though for real, yeah I don't think anyone is playing those with intention to win. I know I'm not)
why bother? because you're addicted
Nice joke bro
False
no it's not , people make it not fun
