The best part is the unhinged tangent of hatred while also starting the queue again.
Welcome to League, brother.
i die he was talking shit a press play again pure gold hahahahahahah
The thing about league, the game itself is great, the community aspect is the one that destroys your mental health.
Honourable mention to "Nothing will feel good until you're Masters +"
Oh honey.... it never feels good, that fallacy will just keep you grinding.
@@miklosszabo4551its cuz theres no voice chat. Theres nothing humanity hates more then feeling powerless.
You are acting like he is going to stick to it obsessively, he is playing it for easy ASS content. Asmon did that for Diablo Immortal, played a shitty ass game he didn't like only for the content. That is 100% in every way different from an average overly obsessed League player and what you are trying to call him out on. It's like me who doesn't eat at fast food, gets a McDouble, day two I just wanted to try the Nuggets even though the food is gross and I"m curious then the person in the car is like "SEE you eat McDonald's too, welcome to the club of eating it on a daily basis" When all I'm doing is making a well informed review on how how shitty and worthless that food is.
"Its fucking crazy" *immediately presses play again* XD
me last night
I mean he's complaining about the players, stream snipers and game system(match making/smurf acc/etc) more than the actual gameplay of the game. I don't think i saw him complain about the gameplay yet. I could be wrong but i do agree with him. The community feels like shit. Low elo rank queues are all smurfs with bought lvl 30 accounts. Norms are unplayable with randos. The only good time to play League is with rotating game modes, aram or a 5 man.
Or just climb to emerald or diamond where there arent really that many smurfs anymore @DjuraValtr
@@JM-gu7jx tell me you peaked silver without telling me you peaked silver
Thats why I left ranked 10 years ago to play ARAM everyday.
Now im the God, pumpin that DPS ladder to max
Pretty accurate take. Him explaining how dreadful he feels, whilst also requeueing a new match really encapsulates the misery.
the most accurate part was him describing hypercarry badass champs and the people who play them. the only real reason why the game feels so dreadful most of the time is because anime characters are in every game...
Oh the misery. Everybody wants to be your enemy!
It's like doing crack...
It is the dopamine dependency
league is literally hell lmao
"This game is horrible"
*queues up again*
Can relate
If this doesn't encapsulate the league experience I don't know what does.
He's a WoW player, what did you expect?
i was shook by that aswell. just as shook as realizing people actually play this game.. bro it´s so horrible. it´s actually one of the worse games i have ever seen. People need to wake up and seriously think about their definition of what makes a game good.
ok whatever you say NegaOpDieBeat
laughing off my chair lmfao dude the re queue hahahahahahahahhahaa
I enjoy seeing Chance on the other side because he's everything he hates about League Players when he plays WoW.
I was just gonna say that lol. I've seen him kick people from raid groups for low IO or messing up mechanics. I've seen him gatekeep stuff based on gear score, and other arbitrary measures.
.
It turns out that when your fate is shared with other people. You tend to hold those other people to a higher standard. This isn't the games fault, it's basic human psychology.
@@anthonyfaiell3263 The game is designed to be that way. All the toxicity, the general behavior of people, those actually interested in the game are there because the game made as it is. It's a team game where people are forced into groups randomly, and it is hard to determine who's to blame for things, and trolling is very effective. People also get frustrated and vent it into the game. It's also a PvP game, which caters to a certain type of players. And there is a lot of information to know, and the ideal state is to know everything - and if you missed out several years, you are behind the level of knowledge you're supposed to be.
Well he expects people to perform or atleast know the raids when they are in his group, because he as a good player wants to have a group with other good players. It’s no the same as Low tier ranked games / normals, where everyone is expected to not be good at the game.
@@Saimiri1334 Except he's in gold 4. Which puts him above 60% of the players or so.
.
I know everyone watching high ranked streamers seems to have adopted the "anything below masters is "low rank"" mentality... but technically, when you look at the actual spread of players, gold is not "low rank".
.
Also, he chose to go into ranked without understanding the game. The same thing could happen in WoW if you start pvping while you are undergeared and inexperienced, you destroy your mmr and you probably get yelled at a bit. Him queueing up for ranked is the equivalent of an undergeared and inexperienced player queueing up for high level WoW content.
.
If he chooses to continue playing ranked in league, he will likely find his way to people of similar experience. But he shouldn't complain when people yell at him for having no clue what's going on while queueing up for a ranked game mode.
@@anthonyfaiell3263 not anymore with the removal of promos silvers can just tip over into gold 3 and 4 and you get people that literally have main character syndrome where if one thing goes wrong they decide to just not interact or feed the game out. i cant tell you how many times ive gotten though plat into emerald but start tanking because some duo wants to play with his gold 3 friend and riot allows it. so yes gold could be considered "low rank" by people with more than lukewarm understanding of the game past laning phase.
and generally we all should take his opinions with a grain of salt because hes not any different than the people hes complaining about
also sodapoppin: "i dont know how anyone could not know their class and every single boss mechanic down to the milisecond?!?! G-kicked!!!"
learning every league champ is arguably easier than learning all the wow boss mechanics
To be fair wow slowly prepares you first time you play different type of mechanics and before you start raids you are or at least should be familiar with most of the mechanics that this game can throw on you in league you start a game with tutorial that am sure half-brained monkey would finish then you have bots that am sure full-brained monkey would farm on till level 30 and you start your first ranked just to just play against another human and the game trows you against smurf D1 akali onetrick that plays on his 16 account in silver elo destroys you ofcourse coz you played against bots that almost dont move and now you play against guy who dedicated last 12 years of his life for this game. Your team starts to flame you and litteraly wants you and your intire family to out yourselfs and i remind you thats after litteraly your fist game against human beings. You can ask anyone that league of legends has the worst ranking system that hates new players in the history of ranking systems in games, its just terrible and thats a fact.
@@willdallly8271You have to be joking
@@mtthw1597 you know you can play draft games against real people to lvl up to 30, right?
@@draxis9367 yes you can, but you cannot compare playing normal game where people just dont give a shit if they win or lose to ranked game and leveling account on bots is the simplest and easiest way everyone who played league always will tell you to level acc on bots coz its just faster
He should take what he said and apply it to World of Warcraft.
He does, he thinks retail is fcking stupid too.
@@nmc400 yet hes gonna play new xpac
@@nmc400 you can also apply it on Classic - probably even more than retail
Yeah, but just because half the classic servers are plagued with gatekeepers lol@@NoLuckJustSkill1337
Smurfs in wow ? Yeah I bet that helps so much against fighting a 40 man raid
Being locked into a 30 minute game you know you'll lose because someone is smurfing is one of the worst gaming experiences you can have
Happens in Valorant extremely often too. Lobby full of silvers and golds and somebody who peaked Diamond 2 is smurfing just to smack talk players 3 ranks down.
What blows my mind are the skill lvl dispite being in the same rank. Sure ur silver and a dimond is there creating smurfing. Thats not fun for the other 9 ppl...
Have A midlane who clearly have paid for their D1 account but are dogshit and have NO timers no mapawarness nothing... just freefall feed and autolose for our team... is equally painful :/
You could have summarized that comment, I'll help you out "League of legends is a worthless game with Smurfs"
im gold and in my normal games my mmr is somehow high enough to be placed with diamond+ players regularly. i am NOT good enough to be placed in with these players, but somehow riot matchmaking thinks its fine. Miserable experience
my best tip is to just accept it. It happens to both teams, sometimes the smurf is on the enemy team, and other times on yours. Same logic with afks
Ppl in general just have a short fuse these days. 2 deaths after 5 minutes? ff 15. Madness. LCK teams can't even reliably close out 6-7k gold leads, why the fuck do you think this random low ass lobby will finish cleanly with a 4k lead? If people just tried to PLAY instead of convincing their teammates what they have done wrong and why they're shit and hardstuck and whatnot, this could be such a fun game. We NEEEEEEED behaviour scores like in DotA, so the normal people can just play in peace.
Implying there are normal people in league lmao
@@frodo4503 Idk bro, for every game that gets toxic af (which is almost every game, admittedly) there's like 3-4 players just minding their own business and I reckon another 2-3 would just keep playing if nobody started an argument. Could be cope idk
Quit crying and just surrender at 15 lol
@@anthonyholder7629 This is the typical person on the team. No heart and wants others to be as weak as them lol. Be like me and surrender! So I can join another match and surrender again!
there's usually a reason for the 6-7k gold leads in LCK, the other teams draft is much better late game so obviously they have a shot.
All the smurfs in low elo are people who can’t hang in plat or higher and have like 500-3k ranked games at that rank so they go and smash new players to feel better about it.
There s also a lot of smurfs who want to play duo with friends that are lower elo. I sometimes hop on my or some friend's bronze account to play with another friends.
@@sneakysunset1765 you are part of the problem my friend :/, why not just go normals or aram if you want to play with friends
I'll save you from those plat/emerald smurfs by smurfing from diamond
@@sneakysunset1765 I crashed my rank to gold 5 just so I could play with friends. More fun less stress. I had a similar issue in overwatch. Almost hit 4K sr and found out I had to play alone. Shits wack let a gm and a bronze duo together.
its typically normal on other competitive games rn tbh

That's how people feel about new pvp players in wow
Nah that’s just wow in general expect is 20 times funnier when people are acting elite with wows sup 60 apm gameplay
@@blue21-23a 60APM is impressive to WoW players? I aim for like 200-300APM in a single game of league.
@@droppedmydagger3834achieve that in rts that’s is impressive. MOBA is cake walk
@@droppedmydagger3834 200-300 apm in a *single* game of league. When you play multiple games of league you do something else?
Correction thats how people feel about alliance players in pvp
I agree, this game is terrible for new players, the matchmaking system is unfair, especially in normal draft mode, new players end up matched with plat and diamond players that have been playing for years.
And even ranked, two iron players are against each other, but one actually just started playing while the other has been playing for years but only from time to time plays ranked
Example: 1 new player got match with 9 other players that are smurfing. Who will win? Ofc team that don't have a new player in team. Matchmaking is terrbile to play becouse one of the teams gets new players in team, that don't even know the basics.
that is unfiar the iron player that just started playing is much better than the gigastuck one.
Normal matchmaking... that's.... normal. Everyone gets put into a lobby. Have fun.
Basically, unless you're a kid or teen with all the free time in the world. Or streamer/tuber who makes living playing games. The game is terrible for anyone else who is new and trying to learn 100+ champs, the map, the items, and mechanics. Which riot changes every year or half year making it more confusing for newer players who don't fit the three categories.
@@resiliencevideosnew players need to be playing aram not queuing up for ranked.. I can see why people get mad 🤷♂️ they have no business playing ranked and ruining for the other 4 people on his team. Game 15 years old and you missed out it sucks but find a new game to play at this point.. there’s shouldnt be new players in all honesty they do end up doing more damage to the game. I missed out on WOW and even tho I can sigh up and become a new player that would suck and be boring and just not how the game was meant to be played.. league is not a game u just pick up and start playing.
League is like alcohol. You can have a couple drinks without being an alcoholic but every alcoholic has way more than a couple drinks. If your goal is to climb, don't queue 10 games in a row and get drunk on tilt. Set up a reasonable schedule that works in your favor. Some league coaches talk about "3 blocks" where you play 3 games, review them, and look at what pros/high elo people do in that situation or matchup. Don't play league when you are having a bad day. You can't control the other 4 people on your team and the communication is basically like honking cars in traffic without voice comms being in the game. Don't get mad at what you can't control. Focus on what you can control, that is, YOUR gameplay. You can mute someone if they are being an asshole or just /deafen at the start of the game if you truly know that the asshole will get into your head and tilt you if you see them type even once. There are really good and really bad strategies to climb in this game. Find something that keeps your mental in check or don't play at all and save your mental.
Ive been high elo since season 8 constitently(master -> gm and chall on euw) and I found over the years that theres a certain period of time I can play and consistently win but its a small window of around 3 to 4 hours. More than that or playing in the morning especially makes me lose my mind.
EDIT: Its between 1pm - 4pm where I found the most success
Reality check, if you have a couple of drinks daily you are in fact a alcoholic, I'm 8 years sober and that's how it works.
@@Kanoog technically yes, but also no. Depends on the culture of your country. Drinking culture is absolutely massive in some countries, and theres plenty of folk who resist addiction despite it. Also plenty of addicts in those countries mind you, so its not exactly a good thing.
@@Kanoog I didn't say anything about a time frame. You read that into it. Let's change it to two drinks a week, not two drinks a day. "You can have two drinks on a Saturday without being an alcoholic, but every alcoholic has way more than two drinks on a Saturday." I would say even if you drink once a week, but that day you always get shit faced drunk, you are an alcoholic. If you only drink on Saturdays and limit it to two, you are not an alcoholic.
Lets also stretch it out to once a month. If you only drink once a month, but you always get shit faced when you do, it's not healthy. Moderation is key, that is my point. Both with drinking and with league.
Nice dissertarion on mental gymnastics.
Its a team game, not your pyscho hierarchy simulator
He’s one of us now
yeah even the way he is flaming is perfect, he is addicted to elo xD
He's been playing league for 2 years.
@@daybreak817 yeah it kinda irks me that soda acts like he's learned all this content in 2 weeks lmao definitely full of it
Never get into league without a few friends who either already play the game or want to learn it with you. Never grind ranked unless you are dedicated to impoving, in which case pick about three characters and watch your vods back after a session. Generally I play normals and if I think I can reliably climb I play some ranked. I got to silver when Tahm was reworked and super broken and then I got to gold, then plat, then emerald with various different strategies with Zac. Every time I only played ranked until I could no longer consistently influence a game in my favor and then couldn’t bring myself to play more ranked. After a while, I'd decide I've improved enough to climb. Unfortunately even though I want to improve and think I can and could easily reach diamond with a bit of effort, playing with my friends is already often annoying, since many are hard stuck silver, and needing to carry a lot of games to win is annoying and not fun for my premades.
As it is, I really enjoy this game.
Agreed. I think too many people want to brute force the game and aren't actually focused on improving. Improving at the game means you will climb eventually. Review your games, review pros/high elo matchups or similar situations. Refrain from saying "that champ is broken, there is nothing I can do. This game is doomed FF15!" instead say "alright, this game has gone to shit. Is there a way we can come back?" Don't play ranked when you are having a bad day. Be smart about how you play and when you play. Don't lie to yourself and be shift the blame to your allies. The only player you can truly control is yourself.
"i could easily reach diamond with a bit of effort" - every league player below diamond
"I could easily reach master with a bit of effort" - every diamond player
The true league cope
the fun part is, this video made me want to play league again after one full year clean
Everything he said is so fucking true. I thought he was going to be like "okay, so I kinda like how the skill cap blah blah blah blah", but he just hit the nail on the fucking head repeatedly.
Even him queuing straight up for another game immediately after saying how much he hates it- absolute perfection.
The fucking "protagonist" champion comment had me rolling xD
run away and never look back. this will only end up crushing your soul.
I legit started playing a couple monthes ago, i feel this on another level
Soda this is a perfect description for NEW to WoW players marching into PvP! 100 champs x 4 abilities in LoL. 10 champs x 40 abilities in WoW. Same shizzle
I genuinely think he’s not far off the mark when he says everyone is a Smurf. Even players in silver and gold, sometimes even bronze, have been playing league for like 7 years. They’re shit mechanically but they know every champ and ability and item by heart and read the patch notes etc, idk why but the game just attracts and holds those kinds of people.
It was like this years ago so I can’t imagine it being any better now.
I'm a new player to League of legends and I find it impossible to learn all the champions, I try to do my best, most I did was a match were I got 12 / 1 k/d and got told I'm bad at the game and that's nothing, apparently everyone get 15 or more per game as dps, why is this game filled with so many try hard smurfs that don't allow new players to game, it feels there are no new players to the game, just smurf spam even at low rating, I feel like uninstalling the game, hopefully I started to play Black desert online and for 9,99€ I got an MMO with thousands of hours to sink in.
@@brucefly3612 you don't face good smurfs, you face smurfs that are bad. They already adjusted the system to such a degree that anybody who is moderately decent will not face new players. You will maybe for the first 20games till your elo adjusts. Then it should get easier with each loss. Esp past 50games. League playerbase is massive it needs awhile to figure out where you belong, but it does it really well.
Most "smurfs" are longtime players who are bad. And ye they will still outperform to any new player since you have thousands of League players with 2k hours in the game who can't even leave silver lol
but yea, league is hard, any competetive game is at the end of the day
I come from League and if you play enough games league tries to give you a 50% wr.
Go play Tekken for example. Even average players will have a 90% winrate during initial ranked climbs lol, that is a different level of disbalanced matchmaking for newcomers lol
I find that a really unfair way of seeing things.
People who keep playing 7 years in, at bronze rank, are the players that should be commended, for just "playing the game"... especially when the discussion at hand is about Smurfs, which is literally the opposite of the above.
Even then, i come back to league to play casualy every once and a while with friends, and ive played the game for like 4 years total gameplay, so even returning players in bronze sliver in most cases have letteral YEARS on a brand new player in most cases.
coz the games insanely addictive and gives ppl a sense of parasocialising.
I didn't read the title and had the video playing in the background I thought he was talking about wow retail arena.
This is super ironic coming from a wow pvper, which is like 100x more punishing for people who don't know what they're doing when compared to league.
league has a million characters. wow has 12. much easier to remember who does wat
@@rahundsigma 12 who got 60 spells & not 4 spells, thats the difference.
@@rahundsigma there's 162 champions in league each having 4 abilities, there are 38 specs in wow each having 15+ abilities.
You do realize that MMOs (I haven't played WoW so I can't speak exactly to it) slowly give you metaphorical stairs to climb and teach you basic boss mechanics, then more advanced ones, then even harder ones, etc. right? League doesn't do any of that. The MMO equivalent of the new player onboarding that League has would be if you create an account, level a character to max level and then it instant drops you into the 0.001% of raiders doing peak end game content, the hardest content in the game, and you are expected to understand your role/class perfectly, how to do your rotation perfectly, have min maxed gear, have all the proper addons and anything else you need, etc. Most MMOs slowly onboard new players showing you basic 1 mechanic bosses with a big circle that gives you like 10 seconds to avoid it, etc. and shows you the basics and then builds upon it as you progress up through the catalogue of dungeons and raids. That's how it is in FF14 (it's the only MMO Ive ever played). League is like taking a kid who just won a elementary school baseball championship and dropping them into a professional match vs real pros and expecting him to perform like a pro with years and years of experience and habits and muscle memory built up.
having played extensively wow pvp AND league I can say wow pvp does not even remotely compare to leage in terms of difficulty.
edit: I mained enhancement shaman in arenas which was by far one of if not the most unpopular class / spec to play.
As a long time LoL player, i can concur that all soda said is 100% accurate.
Very accurate forsen impression
Perfect league experience video. Plus the instant queue up of course
I still remember the days when I started league. Clueless of anything that is happening especially the part of what champion does what. That's the most basic knowledge in order to even play the game. You have to learn. Same shit with World of Tanks. You have to be a walking encyclopedia of all the tanks in the game. Know armor profiles and rules of the pen. All gun calibers and pens of everyone. Knowing what shots you can tank and which not. From which positions you can be shoot at and so on. This kind of games are just like that. Being a walking encyclopedia is a must in order perform at some "useful" lvl.
He just explained every game that lasts for 10+ years, and then complained about streaming when he could have stream with 3 minute delay. And he is very right about smurfs not having friends, but none of that is actually LoL's fault.
Bro is complaining about stream sniping as he is blatantly queuing up without hiding it like a true rookie.
@@CoachSorest I thought him being in the streamer industry, he'd at least be more mindful of that, but nah, he just added that to the pile of LoL's bad things.
bro is complaining about getting spied on, in a rank bracket consisting 20% of the NA player base lol. if he's in diamond that'd at least make more sense. bro is sniffing some low grade copium
Silver-Gold is mostly filled with people that have been playing for several years but are so resistant to learning that they will never climb out of there, that's why Soda got the impression that there are no new players which is true for this elo. Actual new players either stick to normal games for a season or two until they feel comfortable enough to play ranked or they jump straight into ranked and play in Iron-Bronze. By reaching Gold Soda is already in the middle of the pack of the entire player base of a 15 year old game, it's pretty good for a beginner
that last bit, straight preaching
weird to hear from someone dating phantom ayaya waify
This is why loltyler1 deserves all the respect he can get, he got streamsniped more than all league streamers combined
tyler1 is actually good at that game
That was my exact experience the last 13 years every time I opened a new account.
as someone with like 10 different accounts and played the game for a full Decade.... he is 100% on point.
I went full on on Wildrift; People still mental boom, but it's tremendously lessened.
Games are usually 12-20 (Super late game) mins long. I feel like it's such a short amount of time that people won't just start malding; Because losing doesn't feel like too much wasted time.
i dont think he gets how hard it actually is to snipe in silver XD
yeah nobody snipes in silver. it's usually emerald and up.
I think if enough people are trying, it's still near guaranteed to happen.
if lets say 20k are watching him and 6k are trying to get into his games you can bet he will have a snipe every other game
I would have thought too that it would be basically impossible in silver, but I trust it when he says he notices the difference off and on stream. Also let's not forget he is the biggest streamer in the league category when he streams, he gets a lot of attention from a lot of people. The mass is making the difference.
in euw itd be really really hard but na has a much lower ranked pop so its very feasible actually specially considering how big he is.
It dawned on me when I tried to explain to a friend, then realized wow there 150plus characters with unique abilities and interactions
I am so glad I quit League a year ago. My general stress levels lowered, I have more time to do other things, life became better. Even when I reached my all time goal: to hit platinum. I just looked at the screen, and felt.. nothing. It was absolutely emptiness, and a faint whisper in my head that said: "Maybe I'll feel fulfilled if I reach Emerald" - and that was it, that was the point I quit.
It's not just league, but any competitive multiplayer games sucks; apex, fortnite, valorant, csgo, warzone (or any cod variant), r6s, or even less competitive games like world of tanks and war thunder to some extent. League, unlike most other FPS games, feels to be more rewarding for time/experience tp learn macro/micro/wave control/mechanics/matchups because it's not just about aim, but that makes it harder for new players to learn as muscle memory from other fps games doesn't transfer over. The result, you get people who've been playing for 10+ years that own multiple accounts -- they peak at whatever, hate playing against people at their own skill level, and smurf to try and find fun in rolling less skilled (but equally veteran) players.
As someone who's played world of tanks for some 13+ years, the same stuff happens. You get people with 150k+ games playing at tiers
Riot should at least provide new player in-depth tutorials and engaging learning materials, it doesn't even do it either. You either have to sit and read "descriptions" or buy every champions to know their abilities. That is not a good way to attract more customers for MOBA games.
Im waiting for Riot MMO game with the hope its better pvp than world of wacraft
you have to be mentally disbaled to play league everyday
Mentally strong you mean, that's why mentally weak people like you can't even get silver in this game
Or you are a pro player :v
@@draeinlineskating8893 Those aren't mutually exclusive though. The former may as well be a requirement for the latter.
yeah I'm mentally ill, can confirm.
I'm mentally sane and I play this game.
Welcome to the club dude,member since seasson 2
Respect to him for being super honest about the silence/gold1/gold stuff haha
Great video vei
I started playing league about a month ago and the new player experience is AWFUL. I only queue normals since I'm trying to learn and improve before going into ranked but even in normals people are so disgustingly toxic and cannot imagine that someone might be a new player who doesn't know every champion and every ability.
As somebody who left WoW for League during college, what I did to enjoy the game was to play against AI. You get to enjoy the game, it isn't toxic and you can just test every single champion without breaking shit IRL. I quit League years ago but after I use to do rank I had way more fun just doing a random AI game and logging off.
I've been playing for 13 years, advice from me, actualy straight up dissable chat and pings if u are new.
Im pretty certain rankeds would be more chill for new player cause in normals even my friend who is raising new account(idk why) often has platinums etc togethjer with other level 10-20 players.
thats true, but thats actually every competitive game in the world sadly, there is not a competitive pvp game that dont have that, i really know, if you play a pvp game that you depend to have a team its over
I played for 11 years. YOU SHOULD STOP PLAYING!!!!! It's basically just a slot machine at this point where the spins take 30 minutes. You can get a lot more out of almost any other game or hobby you choose to dedicate your time to. I implore you to turn away from the cesspit that is league and save yourself the time and energy.
As someone who is relatively new to WoW, it's the exact same way.
I literally feel the same exact way as everything he stated about being new to league. That shit is miserable. The only difference between me and him is that I uninstalled and never played again
Bros is a tsundere, he hates it but loves it at the same time
That's league brother we hate it with a passion but can't stop playing it
It's not the game it's the players that really ruin it.
@@HalobravoJJGaming no its definitely the game too.
It's been dog for 6-7 years now.
"i hate this game like you have no idea"
queues into another match
Im so glad im not the only person who has thought this over the past decade
Crazy how accurate this entire take was, the last part especially.
Oh boy I was there when Gangplank's ulty scaled on AP so hard you were able to kill people on the fountain. It was about 10 years ago If I remember correctly. I went sweat lord on it for a long time. Then I quit for a long time due to frustration. I just checked back on it recently. Oh MY GOD this become an even larger piece of garbage then when it was when I left it.
And the orange scaled on ap too!
@@Razman.99 Heck, I 'member when you could kill your own minions to deny enemy cs. I thankfully quit before Vanguard was rolled out. Never looked back.
I am definitely a person that struggles with that concept. It is hard to remember sometimes that other people havent been playing these games for 10+ years. I really am trying to get better at it. Im sure its the same thing a new wow player feels when first starting out compared to seasoned vets of that game.
hes right haha but its the same at high rankings its so fkn funny
I started Ieague 6 months ago and reaIIy enjoy it, maybe not hop into ranked when you hit 30 instantIy
yeah i think he is just severely underestimating the avg skill of lol players. and also riot matchmaking sucks, new accounts have like plat-emerald mmr, which is just completely unfair to new players
New players shouldn’t even think about ranked for like 2 years after starting..
@@lonemaus562 that's a problem but there's not a lot that can be done about it
@@DioBrando-iq9noand the average skill just keeps going up because of the highelo streams.
in pure mechanics there are Platinum players that play as good as some master+ players in their main characters, but they are hardstuck due to other severe mistakes like:
weak mental, shitty macro, never reviewing their vods, trying to play 15+ characters instead of just one, shitty decision making, bad CSing and etc
That is just straight up wrong. @@DioBrando-iq9no
I can play like 3-ish games per week. And that’s it. After that I need a vodka pineapple 🍹
i've been league sober for 3 months and im happier than ever no lie, it's possible guys!
he should wait until he gets hit with WR fixing, you going 70-80% wr and your team chilling at 20-35% pure inting every game and enemy team has 60%+
yep and people still deny it's existence. Noticed many consistent matchmaking algorithms in my time.
1: If you win a lot and your winrate spikes to 70+ you will be given unwinnable games to bring you down to 55% at least.
2: If you get a chat ban even though you are not toxic gameplay wise (afk,griefing etc.) you get sent to a prisoner island queue. I had not encountered any afk's or people running it down on a new account and as soon as I got a chat restriction I had 3 afks in a row for example.
hey losers queue isn't real why are you saying it is when the devs themselves say it's not real? /s
@@saunorine why would devs be honest about it
" yeah guys we punish you if you do well"

@@rottencorpse94 whoosh
@@yanni-duff look it up. Losers queue is not a thing, if it was it would be extremly easy to proff, because we have access to so much data from games. But nobody can prove it, and it is therefore definitly not a thing.
Finally someone talks about it! I play this game also like 13 years. And now 80% players are eather smurfs that has like 10 accounts or scripters (before Vanguard). It's really rare to see on rankeds new players.
this is mostly true on the NA server. league still has new players in EUW, CN, KR. league just died down in NA. both competitive and casual.
How do you want to have new players in 13 years old game ? 😂 moba suffer same issue like rts, not really growth of new players. People prefer play fps it’s easier to play and you can play on phone too
@@kurrwa Do you even realise League of Legends has every day 50mln active accounts?

for me as a new player i can relate 100%
That hurt! 😢
i think a New player doenst start at lvl 30 with straight up ranked games.
Thank god i dont play this game anymore
What he said about being new at the game is so real man I had the exact same opinion after playing for a few months
This is unironically why I come back to the game when I have nothing else to play with friends!
I've played LoL on and off for about 2 months total. And every time I quit is because I'm getting frustrated and intimidated by the sheer amount of STUFF that I am expected to just KNOW. Not only do I need to learn 200 champions and what they do. I need to know which character is countered and counters others, I need to know 100 different item combinations and which ones are good on what champion, I gotta know the jungling order, learn 10 different skills like last-hitting, agro management etc.
It's just frustrating at some point.
you're spot on, i had exactly same feelings when i tried this game
amount of toxicity, pressure from others for you to know everything about it and amount of complexity is extremely off putting for a new player
I'd say focus on one thing. Maybe one champion in one role. That way you can severely limit the amount of stuff you need to learn. (Say you only play Jax top, you can do well enough only learning the 10~20 most picked matchups in the top lane, and you won't need to worry about learning jungle, adc, etc.)
@@cynth4941 The thing is even if you focus on PLAYING 1 champion, you still need to KNOW what everyone else does, otherwise you just get cheap-shotted in 1 second and don't know WTF happened and what to watch out for.
There are a lot of abilities that unless you read them up make zero sense. Like Kindred ult. Or Tryndamere immortality. Or the mechanics of Illaoi.
You need to know literally hundreds of champions in detail to be any good at it. Because just like Soda says - 99.9% of players are not new and they will make you have the worst time.
@@Aisaaax I don't disagree, but I still think that if you limit what you play you can focus more on one area and limit the amount of knowledge you need to learn in order perform decent.
Like top lane for example. You won't need to know the intricacies of jungle pathing, how the bot lane matchups go, how to play against say Ekko or LeBlanc because no one picks those champions top. You won't need to know all the 170(?) champions, if you learn like what the 20 or so most picked champions in top lane do and how to play against them with your 1trick, you'll already be able to perform fairly well at least in the laning phase.
You will need to understand Illaoi, Trynda, and eventually some important abilities from other lanes like Kindred R, but I think some of them are kinda intuitive(Kindred R for example, you try to attack under a certain threshold and it no longer deals damage. I never read her kit, but I know somewhat what her ult does just from facing her. Same for Illaoi, you get hit by her E and it gives you cancer lol). I agree that some kits are very non intuitive though, like I had to read what K'Sante does, because I wasn't understanding why the fuck he was teleporting me all around the map. There are some intuitive abilities with uinintuitive effects too, like for example if Shen slides his blade through you he gains an insane amount of stats that's almost impossible to beat in a fight, so you have to disengage if you get hit by it, Darius Q you also might not notice that the inside does way less damage than the outside part.
Many new players try to play many roles and many champions all at once, and it's way harder to perform if you try to play everything like that. Even I will struggle if I'm not playing the 10 or so champs that I've learned, and there are some roles like ADC and jungle that I won't perform at all, I'm just doing my best to not feed and get dove 10 times if I get autofilled lol
I agree that it's a pain for new players, even for old players it gets annoying with a bunch of reworks, item changes, new champions with abilities that are the length of a Bible, etc. It's easier if you can find a friend to duo to hold your hand. Best of luck to you though!
Turn chat off and just focus on your gameplay and learning. Sometimes you just need to have a convo with yourself and just tell yourself you want to improve. To do that is to ignore everything else and focus on what you can control
Every assasin player was graped by their stepfather and bullied at school.

I was being bullied at school but I found out that flirting agressively with them threw them off hard and they kinda stopped after a week of me doing it

what a cringe comment.
This game is a drug. You know its bad but you keep coming back
after 10k aram games i have learned all the champs almost soley through there. But i started in 2018 and my peak is d3
My cousin got married to a league player last year. No one listened to my warnings.
They were divorced within 45 days.
Goodluck on Dota Bro
Man has like a few games on league and already spots how Akali and Yasuo players are in real life
Brand new player here. This game makes it incredibly easy to not want to keep playing. Getting stomped every single game, can't even get out of unranked to start in Iron league... No idea what any of the heroes do, and they want around $700 to unlock all the champions... lol???
Just play normals until you’re confident on one champ and one trick the one champ in ranked . Know every match up. Or play normals and have fun. But turn off chat. Chat is the worst and will almost never bring any value.
Thats why i play ARAM 🤷♀
never will i understand you
i have like...10 ranked games....and 6000+ games in aram...so...me too
@@SB-wi8fbsame , it’s a lot more fun , no one is getting mad , and it’s the best way to learn new champs , new players should be playing aram for at least a year before they start playing solo que

i will try it, thanks
copium bro its like going from living in luxury to absolute poverty. dota is and will always be in the shadow of league (quit league 2 years ago)
"it insane!" then presses queue LMAO
Accurate, but that's literally every competitive game past its first year
I recently quit playing League even tho i'm a Chall/GM player. Been boosting and selling account's for a long time, and i still quit the game just cuz of how unenjoyable it is to play. I wish i learned a valuable real life skill instead of dumping 20-30k hours into the game that i don't even like to play. I used to love the game, but nowdays if you're not a meta slave you're asking for a bad time. I'm so sick of seeing Low Master or Last Season Emerald players in M+/GM. Bad players are so common in higher ranks nowdays that being High Elo means nothing.
Mid in S14 is basically: Ahri,Karma,Hwei,Azir, or whatever is basically the meta at the moment.
Last season it was: Anivia,Ryze,Orianna,Ahri, basically all the champs that could abuse ROA and Archangel's.
Or when Statik just got released and you couldn't see anyone not playing it. Wow it sure was fun playing against Kai'sa or LeBlanc statik rush for 2 months straight.
Or when K'sante just got realesed and he was turbo broken like past 20 champs.
Or when Corki was astro broken and he'd just 1 shot your whole team.
Or when Azir got buffed and any chimp could play him.
Or when Udyr would 1 tap you whilst being unkillable himself.
Or the most recent one where Maokai was 56% WR for months not getting nerfed just so Phreak can peak after being hardstuck D4 adc player for 10+ years, swapped to support and peaked GM. Maokai isn't Z tier anymore (only S), and now he's just playing his decay games negative WR on every champ that's not Maokai.
Just hoping to see the day this game dies.
Bro uninstall this and go to a vocational school or learn a skill .
@@myaccount__7269 Currently learning Web Dev, but i did finish a trade school for an electrician, so it's not like i don't know anything. I'm just sad that i wasted so much time on this game. But to be honest, at that point in the time, i didn't see it as a time waste. So i should have no regrets because in the past i used to love this game.
I'm still relatively young so there's still time to learn more and live my life.
For gm/chall you say a lot of bs ngl.
@@itsgonnabeokay9341 I'd link you my opgg, but i have Lolpros linked to that account, and all my socials linked there. But that's just how it is. Game is in a terrible state. As soon as i stopped playing League, i started playing Witcher 3, night and day difference, an actual good and enjoyable game. Besides, i pitty and hate the whole League community. Toxicity gets to you. if you're playing with toxic players every single day for past 5 years, you're more likely to become toxic yourself.
League is terrible, everyone knows it, and the way to enjoy it is by not playing(even Masters + its a bunch of hardstuck players who sell/buy accs and play cause theyve spent too much time/money already)
or not caring about ranked, iv been playing for 7 years and i only play aram and sometimes normal games. But Soda is completely correct leauge has zero tutorials and if you wanna be "average" at the game knowing 200 champions and 300 items is the bare minimum wich is dogshit.
@@K_Petar Also, even if you know them all, it's all going to change next season
There comes a point in multiplayer games where you have to choose: do you either have to put hundreds of hours into a learning how to minmax your character and what all the champs do or you just play a different game. In FPS games, you skills you learn transfer to other fps game but in league it really doesn't do the same to other mobas.
I got called so many names while new. Luckily having knowledgeable friends helped me along a bit quicker than others with no resources at all.
real men play dota
Dota is a great game. League is dogshit
the new player experience in dota is way worse than in league, cause you get punished way harder for lack of game knowledge.
But at least it's mechanically less demanding than league
U can’t keep the Camera locked on your champ in Dota while u play. biggest reason I could never play that game.. in league you press y and I can free move the camera around and see the map but it dota u are forced to always have it that way all the time and its a pain to play like that.. just that alone was the biggest factor in me picking league over dota and I have a feeling it’s alot of peoples reasons also. Just baffling that it’s just absent from that game, in other mobas it was a normal feature except dota
@@lonemaus562 nobody good at the game locks camera. stick to fortnite until your mouse skills get better kid
@@drewjozz I don’t play that game but I’m pretty sure Fortnite on pc has a bigger skill gap then dota… idk what your on about lol
Aram makes it really easy to understand champs you don't.. Helps with team fights also. All I saw it for at least
Actually better analysis than what most people say when they're ranting about League. I say this as someone who was addicted for a few years and who barely plays know, there is zero onboarding or new player experience in this game. Everybody has played thousands of hours and knows too much about the game and there's is no elo where that isn't the case.
Also I basically agree with his assessment of what competitive League is. It's almost exclusively a slot machine for people who need to feel like they accomplish something through gaming and this whole game basically is just a carrot on a stick of that accomplishment being dangled in front of people in the form or a few wins so that they keep chasing it despite how miserable and tiring it becomes. Few people will actually enjoy the moment to moment gameplay enough to climb and become really good and everyone else is in a cycle of thinking they need to achieve something by climbing, getting frustrated at the lack of progress, and then burning out only to start all over again.
Sad part is that most, in lower ranks, aren't necessarily smurfs. Most have been playing for 10+ years but are incredibly bad at the game but otherwise mechanically good, sometimes very good if they are OTP, but so incredibly bad at everything else that they don't go up the ladder. It's the opposite in the pro scene, not that they are bad mechanically at all but sometimes they pick champs which aren't their best and it works because they play everything else extremely well.
Those 10 year otps in the lower ranks are basically a wall, where they won't let you play your lane but won't do anything meaningful besides that, but it's still an issue to new players who also don't know.
Lol I am not an OTP but I do fill your category. I am level 250 and I play this game since almost 8 years on and off mostly aram. I am very good mechanically, and I mean VERY good. I am capable of creating an advantage in almost any matchup with pretty much any champ I feel remotely comfortable playing with.
However, I am not good at anything else in the game. I don't know the items, I don't care to go to university to learn all the items, nor do I want to read about all the drakes buffs or tower stats or anything aside from my champion which is fun to play. I just don't give a fuck. I just wanna play and have fun.
The fact that you cannot have fun this way in the game, outside of aram, where you are forced to play a random champion, makes the game bad for me.
And it has been bad in that regard since 10 years+.
New Game modes like Arena I try out and at first I thought it could be fun, but riot makes any gamemode extremely competitive and I have to study all the shit just to be of any use in the gamemoe, which I won't do. So I dropped arena too. It's just an unfun sweatfest, yet another, in which I have to read books of item descriptions to make decisions I didn't wanna make in first place. It's pretty stupid.
I been playing for 15 years I still don't know what some champs do
this is what wow pvp has turned into
its so weird my buddy and i are new and tried ranked and he said nearly the same shit during his rant yesterday
i didnt know he was playing league too but he's got it pretty spot on icl
he describes the smurfing thing so well and it applies to any comp game. We need this AI fingerprint stuff now
He's not ready the Elohell he's gonna face after upranking with negative winrate
I literally had the next conversation a few hours ago related to this:
My friend:How was your day?
Me: Hm.. Nice, I was at home all day playing league
My friend: How did that go?
Me: Same old, nothing new, people so bad it difficult to tell the noobs from the idiots.
I get mad because I assume everyone on my team knows what they are supposed to be doing, and therefore it hurts when they don't do it. But I have noticed, that some people just don't know better, I am lvl 800+ and I have had people on my team that are lvl 25... Like that's just a recipe for desaster, no wonder people are toxic. I get frustrated cause my team has no experience, and my team gets frustrated cause they don't know what to do (also because I keep calling them idiots), and riot keep saying "We are doing everything we can to me the community less toxic", yea, everything but the one thing they have to do, don't mix people with high lvl difference.
What's so unbelievably insane about this is that I agree with everything he says - IN RANKED.
I played blind/draft pick for 2 YEARS before trying ranked and the amount of toxic people I ran into I could count on my fingers.
But nearly everyone in ranked is insane if you're new.
That's just... Absolutely 100% true
Yeah, I quit playing a few years ago. Felt good.
switching from playing league to CS was the best thing i could have done for my gaming mental health
Oh bro u abt to find out lmao
