I've played the game since s2, and don't get me wrong I love the game but when people ask me how I've played it for so long, it's because I never play ranked, I spam drafts and try new builds or just any champ or role I'm feeling. Exploring the Champs and all their interactions is where the beauty is for me. However the thing that constantly annoys me about the current state of the game is just the insane amount of cc. What happened to long tactical fights, now every team fight feels like getting chain cc'd for 10 seconds and waiting to die or you're the one chaining cc.
Underrated comment, everyone complains about oneshot damage or constant healing, but League has mostly a CC issue, either tenacity needs to be buffed or more cleanse options.
I'm pretty much the same as you. I mostly play ARAM because I enjoy a playstyle of doing the best with what you've got instead of being a metaslave, and only play SR to try out weird and interesting builds and interactions that don't usually last more than a patch. This is why I'm skeptical of the game's future, because I can see that what their take on 'fun > fair' amounts to insulting the average player's intelligence and pushing for a fast, simplified gameplay loop where 'popular' champs (the ones able to amass a solid playerbase via being playable if not OP for years coughassassins/skirmisherscough) reign free and instead of buffing other playstyles they'll aim to slowly make all other champs play in a similar way. You can see this in how they're pushing mages and even now ADCs to build full burst, refusing to nerf lethality while also refusing to buff crit in any way that matters. Riot's idea of the 'average player's definition of fun' is skewed by the playerbase that they themselves built through years of pandering exclusively to pro play and will only reinforce toxic balancing while they keep on removing tactical and teamplay elements from the game.
@@RainerRilke3 Meta doesn't really matter much unless you are Diamond 2+, in that case you are literally at top %1.

After 7 years of playing League, I finally quitted two months ago, just when the game finally allows us to have fun. Even if the tentation is high, I wont return before a long time because 1. I've never been happier than now in my life without League (I'm not even the type to be toxic or play ranked) and 2. Vanguard
What made me like the direction League is taking is by giving attention to other champions and let people be inventive, buffing champions to other roles instead of punishing players for creating new metas. But its a low crawl towards that direction because they still punish for those things, just not as hard as last year.

my reaction after watching 6 and a half minutes is this sounds like an ad, but i agree, League is a bad ass game, and I think that explains the popularity you describe in Brazil, because Dota and Hots are so much more cartoonish and also low-key with the action. I think League is pretty goddamn action packed, and as long as they dont flood it with more cringey champs like smolder, the bad ass vibe will only grow stronger. Hell, the new black grandma samurai sounded pretty sick even. Also this video was pretty random but I guess I appreciate the support
League being more casual is a good thing for me, I hate playing ranked in any game, mostly since the negativity of others or the frustration of being paired with people better than you or people with a mindset of taking the match so serious to the point they insult you for trying to be casual just ruins my day. That´s why I´ve been transitioning to Helldivers 2, it genuinely gave me back that sense of having mindless caotic fun while also giving me the feeling of supporting my team and doing my part with the supportive builds the game offers.
I will not be dragged back into the penitentiary! (I mained top) The corrections officer can't catch me! (I caused genuine mental damage to a jungler once) I've been free for 2 years you can't take me back!
Mind you, this is not a video about facts on how the game would be good for noobs, it's just a series of feelings and reactions to developer statements, so it there's nothing that actually favours new players, the current moment is as good as any other really.
Dude i check ur channel every week - i love your videos. A personal wish: Could you make a video explaining the tank azir build? The playstyle and "when" its better to build it? Good to see you back. We want mooore
I think it has about the same strength as the old Riftmaker bruiser build, it's for games where being alive and dealing some damage is more important than dealing a ton of damage and getting one-shot at the start of the fight It should be good for dealing with diver-heavy teams when you don't have much peel to play around, but I haven't played it myself
In regards to the layoffs I would like to comment that it was a delayed response from the mass over hiring that every tech company did back during covid when everyone was working from home. Riot just managed to hold onto their extra employees much longer then most other tech companies. These layoffs were gonna happen at some point, it was just a question of when. Also Legends of Runeterra wasn't discontinued. It was just downsized because frankly the game loses Riot a ton of money just by existing. They really shot themselves in the foot with how f2p friendly that game really is lol.
Good to know about the LoR downsizing, I was surprised mostly because I didn't think it was doing that poorly, glad to see that they aren't abandoning it at least
@@minimoYT Yea it's sad to see nonetheless. They really nailed the f2p friendly model but that lead to the game being in the red almost always and they're only going to be able to keep investors and tencent happy for so long with it being in the red. They want to keep it alive for Lore purposes though which is why I think they're focusing on the singleplayer pve aspects of it.
@@pinnacleexpress420 LoR is it's own thing with it's own client similar to Valorant. If you just look it up it'll come up for ya. It's not like TFT where it's baked into the client.
bro he says i put flames on the old video for clickbait, but i feel like this video is clickbait too 😭. This whole video is just conjecture. Nothing wrong with that, but these supposed changes League of Legends are not even out yet which makes it is hard for me to believe a video that claims this is the best time to play, and doubles down by saying "(unironically)". I also dont think the 2 minutes spent explaining different games added any insight on the future of league, especially since neither of those games are league 💀. I think the conversation about runaans on melees and the PBE is exciting though, just not necessarily "the best time to play league", you know.
As a Brazilian, I feel honored that my home mentioned. Your points are very good but the death of Custom Skins is going to hurt the game A LOT. And idk If any change can make up for the fact I cannot play SpongeBob Pyke or Amogus Pyke anymore, since RIOT will never collab with anyone like that. Custom skins are a very big part of the casual playerbase, too. These changes are hard to predict, guess we have to see
My current experience: game is alright if I play after dinner, but any other time the matchmaking is f'ed. If I play in the afternoon I'll get 3 matches in a row where I was winning or tying lane, but an AP assasin in a different role is on 15 kills somehow and we FF. Like one match yesterday I had a TF jungle that ALWAYS went for all-ins against 1 or multiple people in the early game. Entire team was wondering what blud was doing.
i heard they were planning to put Runan's hurricane on mele champs (i jsut saw an akaly stacking Hartsteel with that item x3) and i diceded not to play ... then the reversed the desicition of do so.. but the damage was done. i don't want to came back...
asol has been completely dead with his gameplay, identity, and player reputation all being axed with the second failed rework we didnt ask for. any time following that day has been a bad time to play league for me.
League is fun when you win, the only thing is dislike about playing nowadays is the toxic community, but I think the dev did a great job listening to community this year.
As a new player coming from Heroes of the Storm it has been rough. Been playing since November and now I'm super frustrated with the game. Started playing rank and dropped from Gold to Iron. The game is addicting but sometimes I rage and I don't rage while gaming at all.
nah bro, just pick adc and confront this "best time", in my whole 10 years journey (im master-gm most of the time) it is only second time where i took break longer than 1 month, 2 years earlier riot destroyed jng for me (less stomp potential, canceling the kiting thing etc etc, played fraction of games untill now on jng - i don't mean viablity i mean fun) now i felt like adc was in the worst place where it has ever been, the introduce of grubs just made adc like a 15 min farm simulator just to get enemy malphite oneshoting you as a tank, tbh the competetive adc was also looking hilarious where it was always way better than in soloq (obv reasons). I get it that runnan changes are cool (trust me i play this game for fun at the end not lp seeker, ww supp, alistar jng like i really try to get all from this game) but IT'S NOT the best time to play league, promises are at the end just promises.... i will play league for sure but... not for now. The new supp item is a joke, at this point jng and supp have SO MUCH audacity compare to other roles. I dont ask for complete balance, but time when there are 3-5 VIABLE adc is a huge joke, smolder was op just to be dunked to the ground x). So guys don't be delusional, league is NOT in the good place
and i hit rank 1 on drav and 400 place on ladder in first 2 weeks, just to decay to diamond cuz game was unfun to play and so what? u clearly missed my whole point xd, btw if max possible start in league is emerald (how high challanger wouldn't u get u still start from emerald) it doesn't make it good.... Also rank from the start of season doesn;t connect with ur actual rank xddddddd
Yeah, when they nerfed battlepasses renetlessly, juicing people for money by adding content nobody asked for, or when skin quality has never seen worse than ever before, but at the same price or more than before... it's the worst time to start playing. This dude's clearly clout chasing w controversial titles.
I wish I could agree, but I am lowkey feeling homeless right now. I took a 4 year break because I didn't have a computer. Used to be a plat level support. Now I can barely play support because the meta has changed so much and honestly. It's just not fun. So I've been aimlessly looking for a new role to play. Tried Adc for months just to find out, I can't LOL. Especially not in a meta that absolutely hates marksmen. So idk. Hoping I'm gonna have fun more down the line.
I'm really disappointed in League... Decided to have some fun with friends on URF and guess what. As all of us were Silver we were getting matched against Emerald. Such a good matchmaking system.
Every 3 game in E1/D4 a person ruins the game for the team (enemy/own team). It is really frustrating and Riot seem to do nothing about inting behavior.
hope they revert the changes on pings, it's mindboggling not being able to ping your teammates, how the fuck do i signal my toplaner to tp mid fight?????
Agreed on that completely, pinging allies' ultimates and summoner spells is part of playing correctly. Riot should either restore those pings or just add voice chat already
Totally disagree. I stopped playing it. Never felt more frustrated. This game became harder and the games are longer (the previous 3 games I had almost reached 1 hour) and suddenly this game feels like Dota 2, which is always a bad thing. The game was never in such a bad state in my opinion.
That game is nowhere near feeling dota 2. everything 1shot, laning is terrible and artifical (due to platings and other stuff) and games are way shorter than they used to be. idk why u had 1 hour games but objectively speaking these grubs things sped up the game by alot.
My only issue with the game right now is matchmaking. It's ridiculous. The skill disparity is crazy. I end up queueing against people 2-3, sometimes 4 ranks higher than me.
Matchmaking for any game like this won't be great, but at least they're taking steps to fix it in ranked with MMR tweaks and stuff. In my experience it's at least passable when you're either below or above the elo hell that is Emerald
@@aedancraig3136 Yeah, the best I'll recommend is disable or delete your account via the Riot website. I chose to delete Tough at first, but one of he best decisions in my life
Personally I never complained about the game and only about allies. Also you can play whatever you want. This is proven by people reaching a higher rank than most complainers with random off meta builds.
The new player experience is still horrendous. They should take an example from Wild Rift where new players are guided through an extensive series of tutorials and matches against bots before they can play against people, this mandatory process also discourages people from making smurf accounts.
No one will agree with this take cuz its fun to simply hate on league, no reason needed, but I say I had never ever had so much fun playing league tbh, its all mad scientist bs right now, the game is so open to fun now, that yea some champs are bs and will be bs until some change in their kit but most can be played in 2-3 different playstyles which is mad, I had 3 games against briar lately where I got to play against ap, ad and bruiser briar. Right now I think league is just all about: go on try that build and runes on that random champ, and if it works it will be good for ranked'' its like pleasing both worlds in league, the competitive and casuals have something to play with. And that is without the new game modes and stuff that might be coming. So ig league just good now.
voce mencionou sobre o brasil por 01 segundo então estou marcando minha presença, apesar das legendas traduzidas confundirem um pouco o sentido da ideia. -agora entendi o video, mano o brasil tem uma das rankeds mais memes do mundo so procurar videos como maphite from brazil e varias plays em mundial, as pessoas do challenger aqui são tão boas pq eles literamente fazem 1 vs 9 e carregam são a imunes a qualquer burrice do proprio time, aqui só tem os piores dos piores na parte competitiva, o courtasy é uma das coisas que salva, aqui no brasil league é o jogo mais falado mais todo mundo que joga odeia.
im glad youre getting clowned in the comments so much because ??????? you really read a tweet that said "league will be playable next year we promise guys!!!" and you just believed them like they havent been saying that for years and years now
I play a handful of ranked games and get actual bots in my game. I am mid to high gold, and these bots have a hundred wins in intro AI bot games, and their first few ranked games are in plat and gold MMR. I look at these "bot" players accounts a few days later, and they are in iron 4. I have a list of like 6 and i have no idea how to report them because riot requires you have been in a game with them.
Yea, you may be right, now is the best time to play league of legends. but the fact remains that you're still playing league of legends at the end of the day, save yourself.

I learned from another comment that LoR isn't getting canned completely, just downsized, so it's not all bad
AYOOOOO, FELLOW AZIR ENJOYER.
One of the champions who currently enjoys the shift in philosophy the most.
With Vanguard as a Damocles Sword hanging on top of us, this might only last 3-4 more patches
my reaction after watching 6 and a half minutes is this sounds like an ad, but i agree, League is a bad ass game, and I think that explains the popularity you describe in Brazil, because Dota and Hots are so much more cartoonish and also low-key with the action. I think League is pretty goddamn action packed, and as long as they dont flood it with more cringey champs like smolder, the bad ass vibe will only grow stronger. Hell, the new black grandma samurai sounded pretty sick even. Also this video was pretty random but I guess I appreciate the support
sometimes i forget i have subscribed to your channel, but when i see a new video you can be sure im gonna watch it
League being more casual is a good thing for me, I hate playing ranked in any game, mostly since the negativity of others or the frustration of being paired with people better than you or people with a mindset of taking the match so serious to the point they insult you for trying to be casual just ruins my day.
That´s why I´ve been transitioning to Helldivers 2, it genuinely gave me back that sense of having mindless caotic fun while also giving me the feeling of supporting my team and doing my part with the supportive builds the game offers.
cringe casual player
The best time to play league is sadly in the past. Seasons 5-9 are the league of legends I want to remember and currently can’t play
I will not be dragged back into the penitentiary! (I mained top) The corrections officer can't catch me!
(I caused genuine mental damage to a jungler once) I've been free for 2 years you can't take me back!
06:15 As a Brazilian I can confirm that we're pretty bad at League of Legends and we'll never make to the first phase of the worlds
Mind you, this is not a video about facts on how the game would be good for noobs, it's just a series of feelings and reactions to developer statements, so it there's nothing that actually favours new players, the current moment is as good as any other really.
Dude i check ur channel every week - i love your videos. A personal wish: Could you make a video explaining the tank azir build? The playstyle and "when" its better to build it? Good to see you back. We want mooore
I think it has about the same strength as the old Riftmaker bruiser build, it's for games where being alive and dealing some damage is more important than dealing a ton of damage and getting one-shot at the start of the fight
It should be good for dealing with diver-heavy teams when you don't have much peel to play around, but I haven't played it myself
if vangared is add to leaugue my laptop wont be able to run it:(
i can answer the kernal thing tldr it has access to your entire system
Wilson, where are you brotha? Take the spotlight
Arcane is a great series.
In regards to the layoffs I would like to comment that it was a delayed response from the mass over hiring that every tech company did back during covid when everyone was working from home. Riot just managed to hold onto their extra employees much longer then most other tech companies. These layoffs were gonna happen at some point, it was just a question of when.
Also Legends of Runeterra wasn't discontinued. It was just downsized because frankly the game loses Riot a ton of money just by existing. They really shot themselves in the foot with how f2p friendly that game really is lol.
Good to know about the LoR downsizing, I was surprised mostly because I didn't think it was doing that poorly, glad to see that they aren't abandoning it at least
@@minimoYT Yea it's sad to see nonetheless. They really nailed the f2p friendly model but that lead to the game being in the red almost always and they're only going to be able to keep investors and tencent happy for so long with it being in the red. They want to keep it alive for Lore purposes though which is why I think they're focusing on the singleplayer pve aspects of it.
do you have to download that separately
@@pinnacleexpress420 LoR is it's own thing with it's own client similar to Valorant. If you just look it up it'll come up for ya. It's not like TFT where it's baked into the client.
this seems about as similar to league as tft@@huntersuper98
Good to finally see you back man
turned on video to see if league is worth comming back to, and just got intrested in owerwatch more then the idea of comming back
It always comes back. Like a fucking nightmare. IT will pull you back in, never letting you go no matter how hard you try to wake up.
bro he says i put flames on the old video for clickbait, but i feel like this video is clickbait too 😭. This whole video is just conjecture. Nothing wrong with that, but these supposed changes League of Legends are not even out yet which makes it is hard for me to believe a video that claims this is the best time to play, and doubles down by saying "(unironically)". I also dont think the 2 minutes spent explaining different games added any insight on the future of league, especially since neither of those games are league 💀. I think the conversation about runaans on melees and the PBE is exciting though, just not necessarily "the best time to play league", you know.
Small correction LoR is not shutting down! Just pivoting focus to PvE more
As a Brazilian, I feel honored that my home mentioned. Your points are very good but the death of Custom Skins is going to hurt the game A LOT. And idk If any change can make up for the fact I cannot play SpongeBob Pyke or Amogus Pyke anymore, since RIOT will never collab with anyone like that.
Custom skins are a very big part of the casual playerbase, too. These changes are hard to predict, guess we have to see
Hopefully they make a workaround for that, modding in general is just really good for any game with staying power
1:00 lol devs starting to sound like knight radiant ... iykyk
Congrats on d3 bro! I hit the same in S12 and im glad you got out of Gold and are doing well
season 14 lookin' good so far
My current experience: game is alright if I play after dinner, but any other time the matchmaking is f'ed.
If I play in the afternoon I'll get 3 matches in a row where I was winning or tying lane, but an AP assasin in a different role is on 15 kills somehow and we FF.
Like one match yesterday I had a TF jungle that ALWAYS went for all-ins against 1 or multiple people in the early game. Entire team was wondering what blud was doing.
Me having my hardest time playing league since season 2 watching this video
Yay I can’t wait for Riot to force me to install their sus anticheat in order to play this game!
i heard they were planning to put Runan's hurricane on mele champs (i jsut saw an akaly stacking Hartsteel with that item x3) and i diceded not to play ... then the reversed the desicition of do so.. but the damage was done. i don't want to came back...
Watched 1 minute of the video, heard "It 'might' improve" and stopped. I would say my hope died, but I never had any in the first place lol
LoR is not discontinued, they just shifted the focus from pvp and ranked to the pve aspect if the game(path of champions)
asol has been completely dead with his gameplay, identity, and player reputation all being axed with the second failed rework we didnt ask for. any time following that day has been a bad time to play league for me.
It's because Bard is strong. There is no other reason.
League is fun when you win, the only thing is dislike about playing nowadays is the toxic community, but I think the dev did a great job listening to community this year.
It was the best moment to play league except until today when they forced vanguard. Not installing rootkit malware into my pc
Who would thought that removing the system that made builds having a mandatory path, for 3 years, would actually make the game feel better to play.
Wilson part was wholesome as hell
Your take on Runaan changes really open my mind. For the first time after like... a decade, maybe, just maybe, League finally has some glimmer of hope
As a new player coming from Heroes of the Storm it has been rough. Been playing since November and now I'm super frustrated with the game. Started playing rank and dropped from Gold to Iron. The game is addicting but sometimes I rage and I don't rage while gaming at all.
You would be unironically better off playing HotS than this garbage.
It’s all about understanding that league just is an incredibly hard game, if you come with terms with that the fun comes back!
how tf u go from gold to iron lol
work on getting better if ur iron it's ur fault and i say it as someone that has been playing since season 3
The fact that riot placed you in top 30% of the game as a new player screams a lot about how TRASH the state of the game is.
ADC players have entered the chat.
nah bro, just pick adc and confront this "best time", in my whole 10 years journey (im master-gm most of the time) it is only second time where i took break longer than 1 month, 2 years earlier riot destroyed jng for me (less stomp potential, canceling the kiting thing etc etc, played fraction of games untill now on jng - i don't mean viablity i mean fun) now i felt like adc was in the worst place where it has ever been, the introduce of grubs just made adc like a 15 min farm simulator just to get enemy malphite oneshoting you as a tank, tbh the competetive adc was also looking hilarious where it was always way better than in soloq (obv reasons).
I get it that runnan changes are cool (trust me i play this game for fun at the end not lp seeker, ww supp, alistar jng like i really try to get all from this game) but IT'S NOT the best time to play league, promises are at the end just promises.... i will play league for sure but... not for now. The new supp item is a joke, at this point jng and supp have SO MUCH audacity compare to other roles.
I dont ask for complete balance, but time when there are 3-5 VIABLE adc is a huge joke, smolder was op just to be dunked to the ground x). So guys don't be delusional, league is NOT in the good place
my second fastest climb to d1 was in this season adc/fill. Get good.
and i hit rank 1 on drav and 400 place on ladder in first 2 weeks, just to decay to diamond cuz game was unfun to play and so what? u clearly missed my whole point xd, btw if max possible start in league is emerald (how high challanger wouldn't u get u still start from emerald) it doesn't make it good....
Also rank from the start of season doesn;t connect with ur actual rank xddddddd
I remember when I checked out of League, they changed dark harvest, made items one per person, and the game felt stale.
Yeah, when they nerfed battlepasses renetlessly, juicing people for money by adding content nobody asked for, or when skin quality has never seen worse than ever before, but at the same price or more than before... it's the worst time to start playing.
This dude's clearly clout chasing w controversial titles.
fun over fair is such a weird statement considering the game is essentially hyper competitive and has a huge pro scene.
I wish I could agree, but I am lowkey feeling homeless right now.
I took a 4 year break because I didn't have a computer. Used to be a plat level support. Now I can barely play support because the meta has changed so much and honestly. It's just not fun.
So I've been aimlessly looking for a new role to play. Tried Adc for months just to find out, I can't LOL. Especially not in a meta that absolutely hates marksmen. So idk. Hoping I'm gonna have fun more down the line.
I started playing recently and its been going great
I'm really disappointed in League... Decided to have some fun with friends on URF and guess what. As all of us were Silver we were getting matched against Emerald. Such a good matchmaking system.
Every 3 game in E1/D4 a person ruins the game for the team (enemy/own team). It is really frustrating and Riot seem to do nothing about inting behavior.
No way that you are Brazilian, i thought that you were from eastern europe cuz of your accent. Anyway adorei o seu video mano sucesso pra tu :)
But balance team doesn't want players to have fun it seems, at least on toplane
hope they revert the changes on pings, it's mindboggling not being able to ping your teammates, how the fuck do i signal my toplaner to tp mid fight?????
Agreed on that completely, pinging allies' ultimates and summoner spells is part of playing correctly. Riot should either restore those pings or just add voice chat already
I can't play league anymore kz Vanguard
Man you literally didn't say anything in the video to explain the title xD
Totally disagree. I stopped playing it. Never felt more frustrated. This game became harder and the games are longer (the previous 3 games I had almost reached 1 hour) and suddenly this game feels like Dota 2, which is always a bad thing. The game was never in such a bad state in my opinion.
That game is nowhere near feeling dota 2. everything 1shot, laning is terrible and artifical (due to platings and other stuff) and games are way shorter than they used to be. idk why u had 1 hour games but objectively speaking these grubs things sped up the game by alot.
are you on drugs or what, lol.
My only issue with the game right now is matchmaking. It's ridiculous. The skill disparity is crazy. I end up queueing against people 2-3, sometimes 4 ranks higher than me.
Matchmaking for any game like this won't be great, but at least they're taking steps to fix it in ranked with MMR tweaks and stuff. In my experience it's at least passable when you're either below or above the elo hell that is Emerald
once you touch the game, you never go back.
Not really, sooner or later you'll grow bored of it
@ LoL is literally drugs without taking it, I played LoL and ngl it was pretty fun. Too fun.
@@aedancraig3136 Yeah, the best I'll recommend is disable or delete your account via the Riot website. I chose to delete
Tough at first, but one of he best decisions in my life
this is the best time to play league because it's only getting worse from here
Personally I never complained about the game and only about allies. Also you can play whatever you want. This is proven by people reaching a higher rank than most complainers with random off meta builds.
The new player experience is still horrendous. They should take an example from Wild Rift where new players are guided through an extensive series of tutorials and matches against bots before they can play against people, this mandatory process also discourages people from making smurf accounts.
No one will agree with this take cuz its fun to simply hate on league, no reason needed, but I say I had never ever had so much fun playing league tbh, its all mad scientist bs right now, the game is so open to fun now, that yea some champs are bs and will be bs until some change in their kit but most can be played in 2-3 different playstyles which is mad, I had 3 games against briar lately where I got to play against ap, ad and bruiser briar. Right now I think league is just all about: go on try that build and runes on that random champ, and if it works it will be good for ranked'' its like pleasing both worlds in league, the competitive and casuals have something to play with. And that is without the new game modes and stuff that might be coming. So ig league just good now.
we love wilson
League: about to implement the most invasive anti cheat in the market
Clueless league youtubers: this is the best time to play League of Legends
Well, I feel tanks are a little overtuned this season but overall, I've been having a ton of fun
League is safe.
Me getting chat banned and unable to play rankeds for a couple of games for saying "report top" in aram match
THEY SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE FRICKING RUNNAN CHANGES 😠😠 (great video btw bro)
If you're from brazil your accent is really good, it doesnt sound like most Brazilians at all, i genuinely thought you were slavic.
The only difference I see with the game now, is that the winrate of junglers has gone down the gutter lol
As a Brazillian, i can confirm everyone knows League. Either cause they play it, or cause their friends tell them to NEVER play League.
Fato demais
keep the content up, it's good
game is good when you dont play ADC.
In this house we play ADC and we enjoy it (except if playing with a ChatGPT Yuumi)
@@minimoYT botlane is boring, literally just a 50/50 flip of who gets the e-girl support
@@schmidth its like that for absolutely everyone else too because every game is just bot diff
Welcom back, when streams? You haven't been active there for 6 MONTHS or more idk i forgor
Actually moer than 6 months lol. For now I'll return o posting videos, but streams are too much of a time commitment at the moment
yea im good man
voce mencionou sobre o brasil por 01 segundo então estou marcando minha presença, apesar das legendas traduzidas confundirem um pouco o sentido da ideia.
-agora entendi o video, mano o brasil tem uma das rankeds mais memes do mundo so procurar videos como maphite from brazil e varias plays em mundial, as pessoas do challenger aqui são tão boas pq eles literamente fazem 1 vs 9 e carregam são a imunes a qualquer burrice do proprio time, aqui só tem os piores dos piores na parte competitiva, o courtasy é uma das coisas que salva, aqui no brasil league é o jogo mais falado mais todo mundo que joga odeia.
yeah the gangster is back and is producing some videos. Nice
im glad youre getting clowned in the comments so much because ??????? you really read a tweet that said "league will be playable next year we promise guys!!!" and you just believed them like they havent been saying that for years and years now
I play a handful of ranked games and get actual bots in my game. I am mid to high gold, and these bots have a hundred wins in intro AI bot games, and their first few ranked games are in plat and gold MMR.
I look at these "bot" players accounts a few days later, and they are in iron 4. I have a list of like 6 and i have no idea how to report them because riot requires you have been in a game with them.
Yea, you may be right, now is the best time to play league of legends.
but the fact remains that you're still playing league of legends at the end of the day, save yourself.
