NA Has Hit Rock Bottom

  • We’ve always wondered what rock bottom feels like as fans of North American League of Legends - and now we know.
    North America is out of Worlds at the group stage once again - but with a combined score of 3 wins and 15 losses, this is literally the worst year yet…

Sure he won a lot domestically, but none of them have done shit internationally. Everyone get so hyped about what they do domestically just for NA to do Ntn at all. Sometimes coaches and stuff have to instill that into the system, especially when the system is so bad that the same 3-4 teams make it. I’ve not seen top players like DL decide “I’m so good I’m gonna go to a bottom tier team and win”.
      Overall though, DL and all those good players didn’t win anything internationally when they were thought to be ahead of the east and now that NA is clearly behind, he tries making comments when he had a easier chance to win and still choked.

Honestly, in my opinion If NA wants to succeed you can't just bring in imports to play on NA, NA needs to either make the players train in Korea, expose the players in an environment that majority of their games is gonna make them try hard for them to actually learn something and improve.

  • @5PctJuice
    @5PctJuice Рік тому +18

    There's a lot to be said, but I do think the region's attitude toward League is a factor. For basically every other esport NA has a foot in, we have something to hang onto. In League, it's hoping we don't get absolutely dumpstered in Quarterfinals again (or even just hoping we make it that far).
    The problem is that a lot of this goes to systemic issues within the region that could take years to meaningfully address, and that process should have started back in, like, 2014. Server ping, regional amateur leagues (Academy clearly isn't doing much), improving the Ranked experience, etc. There's a lot and everyone has different ideas.
    Personally I do think NA really needs to scale back player pay, shake up the format, and invest in long-term fixes on a systemic level. I would also like it if we stopped taking ourselves so damn seriously. Yeah sure, the players are professionals, but esports isn't ESPN, it never has been, and it never will be. You wanna pump viewership up? Having some fun is a great place to start. Maybe not having champ select take 20 goddamn minutes (smaller issue imo).
    Sorry, a lot of thoughts. I'm also thinking of the fact that the average NA fan probably won't watch much more that we're out of Worlds. That's another issue, of course.

      @@raphaelvsantos Definitely not enough. If you want other regions to be able to compete with the dominant regions, you gotta give every region more opportunities to play against them to improve.
      Dota is a good example where the constantly have Majors inviting teams from 6 competetive regions(China, SEA, WEU, CIS, NA, SA) that all are competetive.
      That's how you allow for "worse" regions to get up to speed. A good example is South American Dota which was a joke 2 years ago(Pretty much like NA LOL) but who this TI got 3 teams into the playoffs and had one team get top6 first time ever. It's insane how fast weak regions in Dota improve.

    My suggestion for Worlds would be as following:
    LCK & LPL get 3 solid spots straight into Group Stage as they are the clear stronger regions
    LEC & LCS get 2 solid spots straight into Group Stage and 1 placed in Play-in Stage
    PCS & VCS get 1 solid spot straight into Group Stage and 1 placed in Play-in Stage
    This ends you with 12 teams pre-placed into Group Stages with 4 spots left to fight for
    The Play-in Stage would have the 2 groups of 5 setup with 2 making it out of each group
    1 LEC, 1 LCS, 1 PCS, 1 VCS, and the 6 minor regions LCL, LJL, LCO, TCL, LLA, CBLOL
    It should be the easiest tweak around the current standing system to ensure the most regions can have a horse in the race, yes ofcourse this will benefit LEC, LCS, PCS and VCS, it also increases the odds a minor region team like Loud makes it into Group Stages. Once into Group Stages there are 3 Chinese and 3 Korean seeds for 4 groups so that makes sure that the other regions can enjoy some meaningful fights to see who will make Quarter Finals. All in all i think it would positively effect viewership as it includes all mid and minor regions giving them better odds to last longer into the tournament.

I mean dont get me wrong i dont think they are awful by any means but if u stack them against eastern teams they are just outclassed. I can also understand that modes like aram urf are more fun so theres really no incentive to play ranked especially with the toxic randoms every now and then except to get the icon and skin for the season.

And they're not on internet cafes playing in limited time frames so they don't have to take every game seriously. When you can do dumb shit and still win, it makes you lazy as a player. Theres a reason these teams often go to other countries to boot camp. Because NA talent overall is bad. But a few weeks of good competition isn't gonna raise you to the level of people who play there all the time. NALCS is barely watchable anymore.

    I would rather have NA competition where worlds matters less (because we would be a minor region with few spots and as such much less expectations) and have worlds have more korean/chinese team delivering insane matches like the ones we saw last week. Focus on making the LCS crown being the most important thing for an NA team so the league can be enjoyable again.

    Just make NA a wildcard at this point, there are more exciting teams can take advantage of the aditional space. GAM was 1-5 aswell but they definitely seemed more competitive than the NA teams. The NA fans can enjoy the league like the French League.
    3 slots for NA at Worlds just feels disrespectful, they are just too relaxed about it. Korea and China are both extremely competitive to the point where sometimes every team can beat every team. NA imported a lot of stars and feels more like "Hey EU/KR player, have this money and play a bit of league, don't stress out too much, it's just marketing".
    I think the regions get the results based on the effort that they put, I'm sure that NA teams put time and effort into getting better and I don't think they are lazy, they just seem lazy because of all the extra effort the teams in the east put.

    This is why I gave up on becoming pro and making League a career.
    Our region never makes finals and it pisses me off at times to where this region shouldn’t even matter anymore.
    1. We Have No Talent: NA buys out imports and recycles washed up pros to build a team. They do this because the NA talent pool is worthless. Who the fuck wants Tyler1, Pokimane, or Lilypichu on Cloud9 or EG? It makes absolutely no sense and it pisses me the fuck off.
    I tried going pro myself, but all I did was peak P3 and even with the skills of a Diamond player I still failed to hit challenger.
    Why is this the case? Why does NA not try harder to do better? People want to play casual in rank, but that is nonsense.
    2. NA Is A Soft Region: NA is softer than a newborns skull and that’s a fact. Our coaches are no where near as good as the one in LPL or LCK. Those coaches will literally criticize their players and tell them to do better, but in NA we don’t do that.
    Instead, we brush it off, ignorantly state that we’ll do better next year, and guess what? We shit the fucking bed! Quit making excuses and actually kick these bum ass players off the teams and find some fresh new talent!!
    Recycling and Putting washed up players on a team makes zero sense.
    3. NA High Elo Is Gated: I’ve had forty-six accounts and not one of them has made anything higher than Platinum3. I’ve never been Diamond, Master, or Challenger.
    Our community for some reason gates people away from high elo, as if we give a shit about the people within those Elos.
    NA high elo is full of one trick clowns and mindless garbage. Nobody wants to see Lilypichu and her dogshit Lux, so why the fuck would I care about some lame ass streamers?
    4. NA Community Is Trash: Trolls, Feeders, AFKs, you name it! This community doesn’t give room for people to improve or climb, if anything this community is one of the reasons why NA will never win worlds.
    These same people preferred to watch C9 Sneaky cosplay instead of watching him train his ass off and improve.
    Why are we trying to promote someone’s lame ass cosplay ideas and not their improvement at a game?
    NA is ass backwards and their so stupid they can’t even see it 🤦🏻‍♂️
    I don’t even care anymore, NA is a dead region and doesn’t deserve to be in the LCS. We have no business playing this game and that’s a fact.
