    Travis, you have no idea how much your content improved my game and esports knowledge. It also made me more involved in League of Legends when my interest was fading a bit. Your videos are simply the best and you are truly talented. Thanks for everything you're doing!

    I love how confident and articulate she is, not something you find very often in the people he usually interviews :D

      xboxfullauto1000 you call them anti social rejects but your name is xboxfullauto1000... also many of them stream to thousands of people on their own time and they interact with more people daily then you probably do so ya know

      Honestly, I love her confidence and her enthusiasm, but I wouldn’t describe her as articulate - she talks SUPER fast

    These Playmaker videos have been amazing, probably my favorite League related content other than -New NuNu, looking so damn cute!

    an interview with someone from the balance team would be nice but also very dangerous

    For some reason Travis' personality never really clicked with me but I seriously have to applaud his content. I'm a Psych major going into user experience research and WOW these videos have been awesome. (I also like his player interviews bc I like the LCS)

  • @johnjoobooks

    Just great content, plain and simple. No words to describe how delightful it is to see someone taking gaming journalism seriously.
    Just like they mentioned in this interview - this job hasn't existed few years ago, and now we starting to get high quality stuff.
    I ten or so years, when esports will be the de-facto viewing thing for most, Travis will be classic, who starting journalist will be compared. And you sure deserve it man!

    This series is a masterpiece. I already said so on Twitter, but Travis is the best e-sports interviewer I've ever seen.

  • @RememberYurRoots

    I'm not sure what distracted me more with this interview, her hyper speed talking or her constant hair flipping. Still a great series! Keep it up :)

      David Marino Because she seems to think, process and speak on a higher level

    • @PatriotIzzy
      @PatriotIzzy 6 років тому

      I wouldn't say higher level. That is placing yourself beneath her. We are all from One. Equal.
      Because you may not do so as fast, does not mean you can't do other things faster than her.

      @FIFAxPROxRxUMADBRO 6 років тому

      I mean you say player loss but every game loses players and leagues loss is a minor one they lost a few streamers and you tubers who cares that’s nothing compared to how many people they gain and maintain

    • @hightagedproductions1376
      @hightagedproductions1376 6 років тому

      who said they have player loss all thats "known" is that the gain is less but its stil gain.

    There's too many champions and all you do is release more.. so obviously very understanding of new player base smh. Source: i've played for 6 years and ask friends/our community members to play all the time. Also why do champions cost so much money especially for new players? Talk about barriers of entry to the game been like this forever too lol. Great interview as always Travis

  • @PinochleFrog
    @PinochleFrog 6 років тому

    Although his last question could have technically addressed it I'm disappointed Travis didn't mention the recent/ongoing allegations of sexism and gender disparity and Riot.

  • @CrudeHD
    @CrudeHD 6 років тому +7

    the more i listen to her the more i feel like this is riots "no we dont have sexual harassment here at all. definitely not". That article literally killed my enthusiasm for what Riot Games did for Esports.

    • @LordOfWinter
