>>722377852>>722378676>>722379083SOVL...
i hate LoL
I miss watching Regi play TF.
>>722377852do you guize like my /co/ comic i made lots of months ago
>>722377852I haven't played since Illaoi came out, should I reinstall?
>>722379792that's a good one
>>722379932I haven't played since they added the rootkit anticheat.The game was a shit show for years at that point. I would say it probably still is now, but I've been hearing some people say that a complaint is now that the game is "too balanced" Which is unbelievable.
The way the LoL community changed over time is really sad. When I started there was so much fun shitflinging during games but by the time I quit basically no one talked at all.
>>722380476because if you talked, then you'd get banned or something
>>722379083>>722380067Was garen that much of a nuisance in early LoL?
>>722380105That's what riot shill streamers like that bosnian cuck are trying to peddle. But then you look at the patch notes and it's just a 3 year nonstop journey of nerfing everything Baus plays. One hyperautist on par with Faker that managed to use his neanderthal superpower to translate inting like an animal into winning consistently completely took over the game balance it's insane.
>>722379692>META GAEM>atmas + warmogsnow there's a combo i havent heard of in a long, long time
>>722380476>no one talked at allYou get banned for the slightest thing now and it is probably Riot's solution to people raging in games because they were mocked and received backlash when they attempted to remove all chat from games. Here is my experience after they added the new AI detection system.I got banned in a game because I said "Fuck me, lmao" followed up with with a "I completely whiffed all of that". When I asked for a repeal, the Rioter told me that it was sexual in nature and not allowed. Then I got banned another time in an ARAM because every time I killed her, I would say "you're it", genuinely keeping tag of how it swapped around. She got extremely mad and so did the Volibear on her team. You just can't say shit without risking the enemy team mass reporting you for fun. It doesn't help that the community is a raging stick in the mud so chilling and having a good time is impossible.
>>722380661easy to playop abilitiesnaturally tankycan build anything outside ap and still be goodyeah he could be a cunt
>>722380879>then i got banned another time in aram because every time i killed herAshe*
>>722380879Yeah this is trueTyping in chat for a modern multiplayer game = banned
Finally. A good fucking thread on /v/
I miss Karthus skittles. I don't like that they changed him from Lich Shrek into some rando with a death fetish.A lot of the lore changes after they removed the League was boring.
>>722379773Kek, that reminds me of this videohttps://youtu.be/Xpe-JoGyPsY
>>722381153
>>722381153>A lot of the lore changes after they removed the League was boring.Yes. I'm glad I had disengaged from it WAY before they decided to do arcane and then starteda) retooling ingame lore to gel with arcane andb) bringing in a massive crowd of secondaries who project Fandom Ideas onto the game
>>722381153gotta have muh SERIOUS STORYTELLING with EBIN CHARACTERS(but only the ones they allow to have backstories, some characters were pared down and are essentially just a text blurb now)what they did to the Kinkou, Shen's backstory, Akali(stronk womyn who don't need no Kinkou Order) is a sinbut sinning is all they know so it was to be expected
>>722380774Truly, the Messi of League.
I love Morgana!!
>>722380605The Tribunal had some of the funniest fucking shit I've ever seen.
>>722380476>>722380879The LOL toxicity was nothing compared to HON's bullshit. And I remember the LOL vs HON consolewarring until dota2 came in and killed hon. Fun year, fun year.

>>722380661Items were broken also. Shit like sunfire cape stacked. So his kit with broken items made him op for a short time.
>>722381828there's a few good gems in there
>>722377852Anyone have that old comic that has two guys talking before one goes "oh yeah I forgot I was GONNA KILL GOD" and the other goes "holy shit the little faggot might actually do it!"?I have no idea what to search in the archives to even begin to find it. All I remember seeing was a Pokemon version of it.
>>722381964Fucking kek.
>>722381921I miss buying multiple copies of the same item, I dont get why it isnt allowed anymore.
>>722381749Mommy's proud her little boy is all grown up and doing his own laundry.
I quit League around when they added Yasuo, which is apparently seen as a large shift in the game's design philosophy and lore rewrites. This was like 12 years ago now, but I dunno. I liked the idea of the "League of Legends" being an actual thing where nations sent their fighters to settle political disputes and apparently it's just way fucking different and total ass now.
karthus was my guy back thenalso malzaharfelt good to outskill people
>>722382263we have at least 3 yasuos and one kratos/yasuo hybrid now please come back
>>722382263For me classic League ends at roughly Elise, the EXACT point give or take before Ironstylus cancer really hit the forefront.
>>722381828Truth be told by the time they released the Tribunal I was having more fun with it than the game itself. If the insults were creative enough I'd give the shitter a pass. We should encourage creativity and punish niggerfaggot parrots.
>>722382069Because having like 2000 health, 200 armor, and 160 magic damage aura just from items was broken
>>722379692I think this is the very first thing I've seen posted on this godforsaken site that TRULY made me feel old
>>722382358>play Karthus mid and yorick top as recklessly as possible>actively want people to gank me as I can usually at least squeeze on out killI get why they removed old Yorick and Morde ults, but they were some of the most fun ults to use. Being able to play two characters at once was fun when you ulted the ADC; terrorizing an enemy team with their own ADC as Morde was a special kind of pleasure. Alternatively, talking shit to your ADC when you play better with your yorick clone than they do gives a unique joy.
>>722381281my favorite league video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2cMG33mWVY
It's disheartening that CholeraNinja had such a shitty life that he deleted his channel and all of his league videos.his GP and Xin videos were great.
>>722381964Nixon was good though
>>722383552was he the one who did the how to play xin zhao?qrd? he seemed like a generally funny and somewhat chill guy when he isn't irritated
>>722383721Yeah, the "be a man" xin video was his.>QRDIll give a more indepth and a TLDR.It's been years, but I recall doing some digging to find out that his life at the time of those LoL videos was basically a shit show. The thing I primarily remember was a facebook, or something, post where he admitted his mom was drug addict and basically stealing money from him, and his life overall wasn't that great.years later I found him streaming on twitch and he was playing overwatch and made a joke reference about his graves video in chat, in particular the "Cait is going to look mighty silly with that rifle sticking up her ass". He ended up politely asking not to do that, but something about his tone sounded off, as if he was exhausted and just wanted to forget about league. Some other bits lead me to think he made the videos in high school with a group of friends he ended up roughly splintering away from, but that is mostly speculation as I can't remember why I thought that. Hopefully I'm wrong as it would suck if he did end up going through that shit.>TLDRHe made a facebook post about his life being horrible around the time of the league videos and showed some form of resentment when I referenced the videos in his twitch stream. randomly deleting a youtube channel with videos a lot of people loved is also just strange behavior.
>>722383308Yorick is even worse now. I dunno how people don’t realize that. >nigga went liandrys Yorick and his maiden procs itFuck
>>722380879Yes but I love that they added a way to report ingame, I use it as a minigame now, whenever someone picks a champ I don't like or does anything at all I just report them, then for sure they would have said some dumb shit in chat and I get the message that the guy got banned.I report at least 2 niggas each match and get at least 1 ban message within a day.I see it as a really good thing cause not only did the niggas that piss me off get fucked but Riot is also discarding their own players and killing their game.
Those comics were amazing, i miss old LoL.
>>722385262For me, personally, I am glad it is dead.
I loved old fidd
Anyone have any funny memories of old league?>be relatively new to league around late 2011/early 2012>playing EZ in bot lane with my buddy playing GP in top>Enemy akali in mid lane gets fed because It's Akali and she's bullshit and I hate her.>She ends up camping botlane and talking hot shit>out of boredom and frustration decide to sell all my shit and go full tank>buddy sells his tank items and goes full crit pank.>Miraculously turn the game around because the enemy team and akali keep chasing the full tank EZ instead of the critplank that is walking at them slowly and bending them over.Weird times.
>>722381921
loved me some old mord
>>722381086hybrid babies?
>>722377852>blitzkrankwow its the guy from 2xko
>>722380661Back then item effects like sunfire cape stackedzm and garen was perfect champion for that. Some other tank/bruiser champs were good for that like mundobor mordekaiser because they dont use mana. Sunfire stacking also was used on Evelyn and Twitch because back in these times they could go perma stealth and they used that to walk arounf in stealth and just let sunfire cape do the job.
>>722380661Yes but not really for the reasons mentioned in the comics. In early league lane losing a tower meant that the enemy team was collectively one and a half levels and 1k gold up on you, which basically means your entire team might as well bend over and lube up. Garen being manaless and having a passive that rapidly regenerated his health meant that he was literally resourceless and never had to recall, which meant that he had a massive lane advantage that snowballed into easy first tower. Literally all he needed was one 'failed' gank by his jungler to put the enemy offtempo and force them to waste a few potions and recall early and it was a free win.
>>722382864classic league begins and ends with zhonyas ring.
you DID buy the emote for this comic right /v/?
i spin he chicken
so this was the beginning of the end right?
>ywn spam q whenever it's up ever again>ywn make the enemy ragequit by killing you own minionspain
>>722391356Pulsefire Ezreal was definitely the most horrible dogshit from that era, but these two encapsulate what was beginning to go wrong in gameplay: more complex gobbledygook. Not harder, just making champs too special with interactions beyond easter eggs. The Trundle rework actually killed a lot of faith I had in Riot as well.
>>722382263I quit many years back, but Sona was always my go-to. Apparently later they added some Instagram ethot to the game that stole a lot from Sona's kit, making her irrelevant, so I'm glad I never gave the game another chance.
My friend group used to quote the dubbed tribunal stuff religiously back in the day
>>722393112I forgot the link because I'm retardedhttps://youtu.be/m9P4trNWxYk
>>722382263I don't know why they keep changing the lore so much. They don't do anything interesting with it.
>>722386612I mostly remember just pulling niggers into spawn with blitz and running around flipping dudes with singed all on 3v3. nocturne was my favourite but i dont think i knew how to build him. Stopped playing when they added darius or thereabouts
God I missed these comics
>>722391356Might beIt was clearly fucked when they added Yasuo tho
remember when Teemo didn't have max malady yet
I will forever be mad that they killed creativity and unique lane setups for the 1-1-1-2 set up the game is known for and started making champs in distinct roles rather than letting the playerbase figure out where they should be.
>>722391356Yasuo was the end of the era.Other notable points:Removing rune pagesPulse fire EZ>Overpriced "legendary"skinVarus>First champ released with only 1 additional skin
>>722380661My memory says that he was largely considered a noobstomper and that the secret counter you needed to know was to just walk away from him when he walked up to spin on you, and to just not facecheck the brush, so if you complained about him you were just bad at the game. In reality though I remember that it was actually sort of a situation where if you made one small mistake he could be on your ass and melt you quickly and things could snowball out of hand. Few characters had good mobility back then. Ezreal was considered something special for having an actual blink built into his kit.
>>722395735Nah, the second when they fucked up was when they gave Flash to EVERYONE for free.Just a reusable free get out of jail card for nothing
What was the champ update that made you think "Yeah, this is no longer the game for me".RIP Urgot.
I remember playing Veigar and Amumu a bunch back in like, 2012. How are those two nowdays?
>>722395937I gave dota2 a try back in the day and just kind of never looked back at lolBut then I also quit dota2 when I realized I just didn't like playing without a five stack of friends, and my group quit
>>722396016Veigar is still a champ people just play for big numbers. Most don't know how to counter or play him well; to the point where sometimes they play him bot lane in the ADC spot or run grasp.Amumu is strong because he's not a "muh big numbers" type of champ. He's tanky with CC and the damage he does do ramps up over time. Sometimes people run two AP items but I run straight tank items and demolish people that way. Most don't play him despite how good he is because he's not flashy
bros...
>>722396135>Veigar is still a champ people just play for big numbers. Most don't know how to counter or play him well; to the point where sometimes they play him bot lane in the ADC spot or run grasp.So he still power ups over time with last hits, I'm guessing? I'd have expected them to change that aspect of him, to make him something entirely different.Godspeed, little mage.>I run straight tank items and demolish people that way. Most don't play him despite how good he is because he's not flashyYeah, that sounds about right.
>>722395937None of them really, I still play this game, though I'm safe from being upset since my champs have already been reworked so the only thing they can do to make me so is if they made the champs gay or pull an arcane which in turn making the champs I like never being recognized as they are now and only as "that obnoxious tv show character".
>>722396267>So he still power ups over time with last hits, I'm guessing?With his abilities yeah. You should see the weird shit people build on him though. I've seen way too many people build legit tank items on Veigar and just stack AP with his kit. No mana regen, no Magic penetration, just tank items and tank runes.
Don't play league but this reminds meDoes anyone have those demons souls rage comics?
>>722396373I see some things never change.
>>722381839hon somehow had even more of an autistic playerbase than dota. I miss it
>>722395937It wasnt a champion in specific. I stopped around the middle of 3rd or 4th season because I had often found myself getting angry at the game more than enjoying it.Decided enough was enough and stopped.Had a lot of fun playing a tanky support in the past, but the game just got old and frustrating.I still have friends who play it to this day and try to convince me to come back, but from what ive seen, its just a whole lot worse.
>>722396265i fucking hate how my brain remember stupid useless shit like the name and skills of every single one of those characters.
League is a great example of games shifting from fun party times to intense tryharding and endless rage.
>>722395937Galio. I loved that dude in ARAM. I think he was the first champion change as well?
>>722382069Because new items are way more broken and stacking them would reveal that even harderADCs would just build 5 yun tals
>>722396573You can kinda see it with the champ kit designs, from "This champion does these really cool things, have fun figuring out how to best play them" to "This champ has a combo that goes A->B->C->A->ult and is designed to be a pure ADC".
>>722395763>>722380661Just a noob-stomper, sunfire was somewhat annoying for tankiness but for the most part he was a retard-check for the enemy team that even mid-high bronze players (1100ish+) would generally avoid feeding. He did get a pretty decent surge of pub-stomping power when Black Cleaver was first introduced because he would instantly max out the armor shedding stacks with his Spin. If nothing else, he WAS a good lane bully in pubs against tons of melee heros that would eventually out-scale and out-perform his useless ass though. Lack of real CC is a bitch.
Youtube has been recommending me multiple lol videos out of the blue. I haven't played the game, searched for it in at least 6 years. What does this mean.
I remember you would get banned from the league forums for saying poopshoe because there was a rumor that that girl who presented stuff in their videos was at PAX and had diarrhea and it leaked down her pant legs into her shoe.
old league was sovl
>>722396786It really was. I played so much singed top or jungle
>>722395735>Removing rune pagesThe old rune system was terrible pay to win or grind for eternity shit
Jungle was the best role
>>722377852I'm Singed
take me back
I never really played much of old League, but these comics make me wish I'd spent more time with itI miss when online games were about having fun and not just about making your rank go up

>>722379773This one is my favorite
>>722397283Pubs could be fun if you were doing legitimately hilarious shit or dished out some pretty good flames when someone starts to dig into you, both teams (even if players were gold or above) could degen into 500 elo shit-fests just running at each other and having a blast no longer caring about which side won if someone had a really funny bit going.You'd get some ragers in pubs but a lot of people were willing to just shoot the shit with you and banter on both sides because Riot's faggot police policies didn't make communication a crime. For the most part any ranked game above 1000 elo was about winning, just you'd get some interesting flame wars/banter/mind games in chat as a sideshow.
>>722384868>report lux/amumu/volibear players no matter what (among other champs but these three off the top of my head, also samira/yuumi whenever i don't permaban them)>get feedback report every time
I basically quit league when a friend gave me a dota 2 beta code. Then years later I got bored and tried league again, and they had ruined it. And now dota 2 sucks too. Every game eventually gets ruined by it's devs. I still play dota 2, but only when drunk off my ass
>>722396420>i don't play <game>>also anyone have content of <different game>??
>>722395937Definitely Viktor Visual rework(gameplay rework was fine), but I had already long stopped playing around all the jungle updates. Then the Vanguard shit was the death knell. I'll always miss those perfectly aligned laser multi-kills though, same feeling as a good shock rifle kill in Unreal.
>>722396665True, back when they released Jhin people thought his design was absolutely backwards and worthless (reloading champ on a dps role) until they experimented enough games with him to understand how to play him. It was fun seeing players going from "this champ is SHIT" to making a lot of meme comics and having fun.
>>722395937This motherfuckerThey made his ult fucking urinary dribbling
>>722381964Heh
BROTHER I AM PINNED HERE
>>722380476I don't want to interact with others while gaming. I also basically never talk but I will report everyone I don't like, whether it's because I hate your champ, you are better than me, or simply you talk shit about me. In the latter case I will also actively start trolling and throwing to make you more mad and increase the probability of you getting banned.

>>722399206>No SwainBad post.
>>722395916Flash wasnt a problem until they made it a problem. Bring back other pre-S1 summoners like 40%haste/20sec ghost, clairvoyance revealing a location on a 60 second cooldown, heal affecting the entire team, revive existing, 70% damage reduction exhaust, and S1 teleport.
I miss LOL a lot, even though I was shit at it. Need to get around to playing Ruined King at some point.
>update fucks the client up>client crashing reported en masse>they "fixed" it and took away the acknowledgement that they were working on it>it's still happening>crashes during champ select>automatic 15 minute lockout>Game is run by chinks and has been for over a decade. I'd rather play Call of Duty than this faggot shit.
>>722396903I played like maybe 1400 games and had full rune pages including energy seals and both MS and HP quints for the like 4 champs that needed them. The only real issue was limited pages before they added more pages.
>>722399206I hear GEMS got a rework, was it really that bad for him?
Only problem with old runes is that they were a bit too granular to customize in a pre-game lobby on the flyBut if you're going to have shit that happens before the game affect how you play in the game they were far superior (outside of page limits) to the current iteration where each class of champ basically only gets 2 rune pages and maybe a 1% niche 3rd option.
I quit when they released Lulu. Seems like that was the best time to quit, really.
>>722402258I liked it a lot personally, turned him into a drain tank attack speed focused duelist kind of thing. Been a while since I've played but you could out duel junglers and mids in the right scenarios even with pure support builds, it was awesome. Remember running him with a Leona in Dominion or Ascension and nothing could stop us.
>>722383308They changed their ults?
>>722382263I stopped playing around the release of Yorick. The game just stopped being fun for me.Shen was always my go-to bro, ever since his release. One of my favorite things about him was how Feint (W) was constantly being reworked because Riot could not figure out how to get it to be not totally worthless nor disgustingly OP.
anyone tried the w a s d controls? i haven't played that game since s8. i am pretty curious how it feels with that control scheme.
>>722391862>jewplank>no gp10 quints/seals and heart of gold stacking-_-
>>722377852This game was never good
>>722402484>turned him into a drain tank attack speed focused duelist kind of thingwhich made him mostly non viable as a support but he's too mana hungry to exist anywhere else
>>722399172sorry anon the you're not allowed to speak so freely about how easy it was to get runesthe new runes are much better and that's that
This was back when everyone sucked and gaming culture hadn't shifted to the min max optimization focus it has now. Same as early WoW. Those were the last years. Even if rereleased now it won't be the same, look to OSRS for a great example.
>>722403405I haven't played OSRS but never in my life have I seen anyone complain about it, this includes people who've played it for years on end and still today. I'd like to work for Jagex one day since they seem like one of the few game companies that are somewhat ok.
>>722403646Don't get me wrong, I liked OSRS a lot when I played it a few years ago. But it definitely was very far from the actual runescape back then.
>>722403405>when everyone suckedWhen everyone learned through experience. Now people go straight to Youtube and copy someone else's strats and call themselves good players. These losers think because they did their video game homework they're pros now and always right.No one is a bigger meta slave than these NPCs. Everything must be done as the guide tells them. The guide knows all, they studied the guide to become greater than you. You didn't study the guide. You didn't watch the 45 minute video. You're clearly wrong and you should feel bad.It's a form of "but the teacher said..." autism that kowtows to authority and flaunts recently learned knowledge over experience.
>>722395937Trundle's visual update. They turned a unique "cursed pariah" troll into a generic "WoW king of the trolls" blue nigger. I don't care that he technically got buffed, it showed me that they cared more about mainstream appeal than making something unique.I didn't even main Trundle, though I had a pretty good winrate with him. It just pissed me off.
>>722395937Maokai. I stopped playing around the time Aatrox got added, but seeing Maokai's visual update convinced me to abandon any notion of picking it back up.
>>722401923>Jarvan IV is LeBlanc theoryi miss the old lore.
>>722405453shes his mom now
I remember I used to be something like Diamond II playing almost exclusively Urgot top pre-rework. It was hilarious because he was so grotesquely underplayed no one really knew how to fight him. ADCs would just...walk into range of my ult, not knowing it was a "you're surrounded by my team now" button. And how they would flash away with a sliver of health, out of my sight, but they still had my E on them so I would just blind fire into the rough spot they probably flashed to and I would watch my gay ass hook missile fly in for the kill. Ahh, good times.
>>722396737>What does this mean.Paid "viral" advertising
>>722399206holy reddit go back
I used to take tanky supports top in pubs, to great success most of the time. Thresh, Taric, Leona, it just made sense.
>>722406617you can play naut in jungle right now, its metasame with taric
>>722406784naut was always jungle during the timeframe I played, thoughWell, there was a brief stint where he was a support sometimesI did take him top a few times too
>>722406919id be honest with youcurrently league is in a terrible spot balance wise retards will tell you its "too balanced" but its actually awful since phreak took over the balance teamhe constantly mini reworks champs like yoric and garen only to make them awful and partially revert them back (which ends up with the champs having extra shit in their kits but pre-mini rework power level)he also reverted the items back to s3-4 and you'd think it would be good but its actually terrible in game because A) the items werent really that good and B) phreak literally forbids items from being anything but stat sticks which has turned the game extremely boring and even more meta-focused s16 is unironically the last bastion, if hes not fired and a lot of things arent reverted then the game is done for and no amount of 1 hit wonders like K/DA/pentakill/arcane is gonna bring it backi want to recommend you the game but its such a mind numbing lobotomizing experience thanks to this faggot that i barely can recommend it now
>>722386612>old tiamat passive used to stack>build 5-6 tiamats on GP>Q a minion or someone standing next to their team>all surrounding targets take like 300% damage and the item itself had a ton of AD on it
>>722407426Oh, don't worry, nothing would ever make me come back, ever. I'm just here to reminisce.
>>722385418Problem is, it isn't dead, it is more popular than ever but now chinked up to disgusting degrees. The game is unrecognizable to its original form. I feel the same way to dota2 but valve is actively killing dota 2, where lol is just bug men kikery ruining the game

>>722410443The fun part starts after it get stable enough and we can mod the shit out of it.Here’s what I’m planning to do:>Legends UnboundThe main idea is to create a game where the champion itself matters more than the items they can buy. I want to build a system that gives players true freedom to customize their champion however they want. There won’t be any overpowered items breaking the game, since all items will provide only raw stats with no active or bullshit passive effects (see pic related for reference).To balance the lack of active items, every player will have a built-in hidden passive: Unsealed Spellbook (similar to the modern League keystone rune) allowing them to freely swap summoner spells in-game (360-180 sec CD based on Level).Now, about the items: there will be no traditional “items” anymore (so no more buying boots for Cassiopeia). Instead, they’ll be replaced by runes that directly grant the stats you want, based (see pic related). Each rune has a tier system that determines how much of a stat you can buy per gold spent.For example, Attack Damage (AD) has a maximum value of 500 at tier 9. Its rune, the Rune of Strength, starts at 10 AD and scales as follows:>10 > 30 > 60 > 100 > 180 > 260 > 340 > 420 > 500It's value in gold (cumulative) being:>350 > 1050 > 2100 > 3500 > 6300 > 9100 > 11900 > 14700 > 17500The same apply to all other stats.I might even add a “joke” tier 10 with an absurd value, like 800 or 1000 AD, for ultra late-game fun.The goal is to offer fine-grained control over how you build your champion, focusing on your playstyle rather than how Riot dictates itemization. The spotlight should be on the champion’s abilities, not on item effects.Also, some former item actives could be reworked into summoner spells, like the old Deathfire Grasp (DFG) and some old summoner spells like Surge, Clarevoyance and Revive.Also the new Brawl map mode is really good, wonder if we can port it.
>>722381607You're using crazy rose tinted glasses if you don't think they were always telling "serious" stories with these characters.Look at the old Summoner's admission tests, the Trundle one in particular that completely subverted his base lore.
>Have so much free time the prospect of getting back into LoL is starting to looka appealing>Friends are trying to get me back into itI don't like this.
league indirectly got me in to hentai/eromanga
>>722395937I don't care about people who stopped playing LoL, I stopped playing LoL, most people did. It's fine to quit.But,>What was the champ update that made you think "Yeah, this is no longer the game for me".Is just pathetic.You'd have characters like Poppy, Urgot or Cassiopeia who were never played and either barely relevant or borderline nonfunctional. Riot would update them to give them (usually but not always) a far better kit that actually worked and made them usable. And then some bronze retard who'd put 1,000 games into this character that absolutely nobody else was playing would sperg out with a huge essay about why this was the worst ever and ruined the character and blahblahblah.The only rework I didn't like was Soraka's and it still made her character far better, I just didn't like playing it.
>>722411681Always loved this one>>722411882Never seen this one before but love it tooI find it kinda funny how prolific that one image of fiddle saying this became
I stopped playing LoL around the time they changed Soraka's lore from her being a rape queen that came down from the stars with her massive goat cock to rape little faggots like Warwick.
>>722405921actually? Isn't she rather young?
I fucking hate Kennen, always have always will. Fucking rat looking chipmunk stupid ass character.NUKE LEAGUE OF LEGENDSI HATE KENNEN REMOVE THAT CRAP FROM THE GAME
>>722399206>Playing Shyvana in S2 got me Gold>Playing Sona in S3 got me Gold again>Didn't play seriously after thatGood times, got my free skins and was very happy for it. Was even better since I was the only one in my friend group that had them.
>>722412337Leblanc is like a thousand years old or something and she transforms into whatever she wants.
>>722402536Morde kaiser ult is now a "CC" that forces Morde and his target into a shadow realm for a 1v1, unless some shenanigans and rare interactions happen like another morde casts his ult for a 2v2. He still steals some stats.Yorick ult basically just summons a big minion that can summon ghouls, and has some good damage.
>>722412137>You'd have characters like Poppy, Urgot or Cassiopeia who were never played and either barely relevant or borderline nonfunctional.They could have just fucking pumped their numbers a bit instead of replacing both their kit and their god damn characterIt's fucking fine to have low pickrate heroes as long as they aren't also low winrate, of course people would be upset if they lost their favourite character
>>722403405>>722403943Any game that came after WoW was thoroughly, extensively studied with guides and YouTube tutorials. Most of the biggest names in LoL during those days made their money by putting out guides and got YouTube fame by putting out "This character is broken!?!!!???" videos.People sucked in S1-S3ish due to the lack of institutional built up knowledge, not due to some lack of theorycraft culture. Whether you did it or not, the culture was thoroughly embedded for the entire history of LoL's existence.
>>722380661He was mained by 12 year old americans.Mordekaiser was mained by 12 year old brazillians.Both were broken as fuck.
>>722412081>SINKERS
>>722412546If you pumped Poppy's numbers up then she goes from "useless" to "game-breakingly overpowered". Her design was fucked from the start.If you pumped Urgot's numbers up he goes from "mostly-useless" to "still mostly useless but will make people stop playing because he'll pubstomp if you don't know exactly how to avoid his kit."Making characters that do nothing but shit on bronze players (in a way that means they can't play the game) drives players away from your game.
>>722412393She must have gotten a lore rework too.
>>722412081>Drew Garen/Lux>Made Katarina a virginGuy was pretty based, honestly. Shame about all the monster stuff and swapping stuff that came later, but hey.

>>722412773Bullshit, dota did and is doing fineNone of the characters they replaced needed to die and you can't substantiate your claim that they did, only spout a contrarian assertion based on nothing but epithets
>>722399273That's an oddly shaped buttplug.
>>722412137>riot would give them a better kitA lot of the big reworks flat out removed the visual or gameplay identity of a character to the point they are no longer in the game besides name alone. If you think people should be happy the character they like got removed, then I don't know what to say.
>>722395937No champ, but the s2 jungle gutting started my fallout and hy s3 I did not care anymore.Hearing they gutted Cassiopeia made me glad I quit This game gave me such ptsd over pvp shit that I still struggle to try anything competitive to this day

>>722417093>bank plankFor me, it was building a full crit chance and a full crit damage rune page to fuck around on with gp and confusing enemy laners.A max bonus XP rune page was also nuts on Zilean as you could get level 6 faster than the jungler and sometimes mid laner.
>>722413251>>722399273You reminded me of that dude "Soraka Bot" drawing so much art of her, his drawing style was cute

Maybe saintvicious.Honestly I can't believe saint is still at and streaming Teamfight Tactics (shit game) almost every day. Some people just can't seem to move on.We memed so fucking hard, /vg/ came about because /lolg/ threads were spammed 24/7 and they filled up so fast.
Hated MOBAs and viewed them as the antichrist back the day seeing how people got deadly addicted to them.Now it's almost two decades since then and looking at these sovlfvl comics it's sad seeing how innocent the old internet was compared to now, regardless of how harmful games like LoL and DotA initially seemed (compared to the plague that are gachaslop).Moreover I'm even more upset being a hypocrite since Deadlock became my first ASSFAGGOTS and it's sad knowing we will never have a golden age like these old games with comics like these, we'll only get coomershit and secondary-tier humor.
>>722412350You now remember "that" Kennenfag.>>722418669Yeah I remembered his name a moment after I posted.>SaintviciousThat was it. I was thinking of Swaglicious which was a definite nickname at the time.>that picture of him showing off his 6 pack that made /v/ gayer than usual
>>722418669Reginald was the midlaner for TSM. TSM games were always such a clown show, it's a shame they potentially lost in S2 worlds because the one enemy team cheated.
>>722418836saint "eyo son" vicious
>>722381153I remember reading those league applications for champs. There was a lot of funny stories back in launch days
>>722418881How did they cheat? Screen peeking?
>>722418774>viewed them as the antichrist back the day seeing how people got deadly addicted to them.Looking back and knowing what I now know, they definitely were. Shit ruined life my pretty much, more than any other game but at the same time it was always there for me because of how shit my life was at the time. I lost friends, I became depressed, I spent too much money I didn't have, but also had shit loads of fun with /lolg/ and watch esports.It was all so dumb.
>>722418774>Hated MOBAs and viewed them as the antichrist back the day seeing how people got deadly addicted to them.Highschool was my nap time so I could go home and play league way back when. Completely fucked everything up but we had fun!

>>722418881>, it's a shame they potentially lost in S2 worldshello dyrus
League players can’t play anything elseThat’s why they become “addicted” because they crave their toxic playpen
>>722419054IIRC it was basically this.>Big fucking screen behind the teams that was for the audience and announcers that shows everything going on>enemy team has a player that looks at it near the start and immediately pings the position of every TSM player as they were going for an invade>gets caught and warned>does it again>team gets a fine, but they win the match and go on to finalsIt's been years, so there's a good chance I'm wrong about stuff, but I vividly remember it being a bit of a controversy, especially because Riot didn't come to the conclusions that something like this could happen when they put a giant screen behind the players.
For me, it was Leona. Just an incredibly fun support. Just try to creep lvl 2 before the opponent and the instant you ding just full initiate on them. Won so many games with that.
>>722419496its sort of part of the game..having too know all the latest updates , muh meta, matchups and shit..you cant really casual this game unless you are happy being iron or playing for fun modes
>>722386612I remember playing the beta back in 2008 or 2009 and me and my friend in high school just went nuts with different champ comps on lane.Rammus and Cat was the free win lane because everybody face checked bushed back then.I also remember being super Qued up in a Nasus game and 1V5ing the other team with the help of a lot of dodge. Every player was stunned that it was even possible which made it a lot of fun.
>>722419631she definitely got me into the whole aggressive support style of gameplaymuch more fun
>>722410717fuck it baylife
>>722386612ahh when my brother introduced this game to me back in 2012 and we were still exploring all champs and skills and we found out ashe ult was fullmap range..wed just shoot arrows all game and follow them and then wait till it was off cooldown again. the game was so fun when everything was new and shiny and everyone was still new to the genre and figuring stuff out
>>722395937Heimer
>>722419753It was especially fun to clown on the generic fragile healer supports that a lot of people who werent support specialists played. Also blitzcrank and later thresh were similar fun.

>>722386612>buddy and I used to fuck around in bot with kill lanes all the time>our best was Blitz Alistar bot>by some voodoo magic one of us would eventually somehow lose all skill with either character for extended periods of time so we would have to swap who plays blitz and who plays alistar.>this happened several timesI miss baiting and corralling people into the tower from half the lane away.

>>722421047https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2234it
>>722396532>angrySame here. I played with friends and found myself getting annoyed over dumb shit and realized playing more ran the risk of being an asshole to them. I'm glad I quit when I did because every time I listened while they played it was constant bitching on vent. They rarely had a good session playing the fucking game.

>>722396665Anyone that plays Jhin is gay.
>>722381839>HON was the superior game with superior balanceOnly until they started to come out with the broken garbage Early Access chars like Silhouette, Gemini, Emerald Warden etc and the game genuinely became pay to win.
Are even any of the champs added in the last 3-4 years fun
I just need to know, are Nunu and Teemo still pure cancerPlaying those two little shits was always worth it
I want old league but brawl.Riot finally did something right, but I still miss the classic game.
>>722423092They are.On a micro scale the game is much better. The champion design is much better, you can deny it, but it's just nostalgia.On the macro scale everything got worse though.>Rigged matchmaking algo focusing on addiction>Balance Patches for the sake of Balance Patches>Balance changes based on sales (Skin? Have a buff)>Meta enforcement, you WILL play how we want or ELSEAnd what you miss the most, the community, doesn't exist anymore. It's bad. Just bad.
>>722423092was gonna say sett and gwen but fuck me those are already pushing 5 years...
>>722423590>And what you miss the most, the community, doesn't exist anymore.The community in LoL was always crying annoying 12 year olds blaming you for them standing in the wrong place and not looking at the mapIt is the same they just can't write swear words occasionally
>>722418669>/vg/ came about because /lolg/ threads were spammed 24/7 and they filled up so fast.I remember there being a parody of this movie poster with Ezreal and "You don't get 500 million new threads without making a few enemies"
>>722380661Easy to use, very good at punishing mistakes bad players (60+% of the playerbase at the least) make and pretty strong early on. And since league was snowbally as fuck, strength early meant curbstomp later in the ELOs Garen was played.

Used to play LeL back in the day until Doturd 2 came out and my most played heroes were Teemo, Evelynn and Shaco, but apparently stomping tunnel vision retards was LE BIG BAD, so they got nerfed to hell and back.I remember when they rolled out the Shaco and red lizard nerf, they introduced the term "toxic" for heroes and mechanics, and it all went to complete shit from there on, and this term then spread to other games like a cancer.
>>722430695I mean, that's the nature of all multiplayer games isn't itAs long as you have fun and deal enough rape yourself
>>722395916you know a champ is giga cancer when they can get away with running ghost/ignite smite/ignite or tp/igniteand that list is only growing
>>722435056>they introduced the term "toxic" for heroes and mechanics, and it all went to complete shit from there on, and this term then spread to other games like a cancer.I also remember this. One of their community managers, Riot Light? Was using it a ton and then it seemed to spread absolutely everywhere for the next decade or so. I assume it was already being used a lot in academia or something, but that was where I first encountered it.

>>722433827uninteractive, difficult to play, snowballs extremely hard. assassins are essentially nonexistant in pro play, but he's a high elon staple & a favorite of boosters because you just have so much agency on him.
>>722436309>>722436901>assassins are essentially nonexistant in pro playHold up, really? Why's thatAre none exempt from it
>>722382263Duo queue-ing as Yasuo/Yone bottom while your team seethes is the best part of playing league now.
>>722437197Assassins are countered by wards and communication.SoloQ players buy less wards, they can't communicate as well due to the lack of voice chat & the lack of communication renders them incapable of defending vision. Additionally, people just play way more safe when their career is on the line.The sole exceptions is, as of now, Qiyana, who's essentially the only assassin allowed to be a good teamfighter. Also LeBlanc, who gets buffed whenever Riot wants to "make assassins good again" - she's the usual affirmative action pick.
>>722437824Phreak seemed like a cool guy back in the day. Shame that he's the one that's actively ruining the game to this day.
I miss Mordekaiser every day.

>>722380879Absolutely not true.Ive played since season 1, called people dogs, said gg ez, subhumans etc constantly until 3 monhs ago that i uninstalled, i didnt have a single chat restriction in my life.You just need to do It when It really its true, so you dont get reported by 9 people, if you calle your team faggots 9/10 games youre probably the faggot

>>722443408It's sad how his kit is still as annoying but his personality isn't, god damn he feels like a generic pixar kid
>>722439078Honestly if I worked on League since way back in the day and still had to work on whatever shambling corpse it became now, I wouldn't give two shits about what I was doing to it anymore
>>722443254really unfunny
>>722443854Twisted treeline was the only thing i could play on my crappy laptop and they removed it
I'd play LoL classic Anyone made a pirate server like that?
>>722444038damndominion was my main mode for a while and they killed that too I hate how the game was basically just summoners rift and ARAM for a long time after they killed dominion and 3v3
>>722444391>>>/vm/1990454
>>722411328Honestly, really looking forward to this anon it sounds like a fun idea. I look forward to setting a bunch of traps and blitz hooking people into them.
>>722444495did you finally got tired of spamming the catalog? that was totally uncalled for bro
>schizo spammer accuses others of spammingclassic
>>722444714i spent like the last 16 hours trying to make that thing work (and am failing)
>>722444421I'm old enough to have played custom games with Rioters, before there was an ARAM we called it ABAB or ABAM (all blind all mid) and we just queued into a lane on summoner's rift.
>>722412773Urgot saw play in worlds, he had a genuine niche where you were gambling an early win since he'd bully the enemy adc to stop them from coming online and then swap them into your team late, at the cost of having a real adc yourself. This is disingenuous hogwash
>>722444421I loved going fast on that mode.
>>722444876Just remembered, that game mode got loads more fun once Dominion came out and you had the speeds up and health packs. Though some people were always bitches and would go into other lanes.
>>722413919You and me both brother, I almost look forward to the day they "rework" (remove from the game and faggify) Shaco so I can finally be free. What an absolute triumph of character and gameplay design
this thread is making me want to reinstall LoL but I know it's a bad idea
>>722445128lmao
>>722445569You're gonna be called shite by a guy who can't even run his combo on someone unaware of him properly and run it down the wrong lane at the wrong time just like 15 years ago
>>722445569Don't do it, you will regret it.
>>722445840>>722446052I wonder if the Anon who made these eventually got a career making something like that.

>>722416172>>tries to 1v1 drain life the championIt wouldn't be hard fucking everyone has mini interrupts in their kit nowadays. If you pick a toplaner and somehow can't 1v1 a lane fiddle, especially one who has little idea what he's building, you're probably shit.
>>722410717CHILLININTHEBASEMENT
I really want to reinstall but thankfully I'm on Linux now and those kikes at Riot refuse to support it
>You now remember League of Charms
It has been decades but I still have no idea how to fucking handle Shaco
>>722446419Go get 'em, champ.
>>722447697If laning vs him then just make sure the jungler ignores your lane, using boxes well makes it really easy to turn around 1v2s or at the very least waste a lot of people's time. Ping hard when he's missing.If you're talking about jungle Shaco, then same as any other jungler and just track him well. Best way to do this is to jungle yourself and get sort of a 6th sense for when and where you'll go, what lanes look good and why. Once you understand that you can know where a jungler will be at any time with fairly high accuracy.My knowledge is very ancient at this point, but I'd bet it still applies.
>>722395937None really, I mostly played the game casually and I only had one main champ, I quitted because people were too tryhard about it and never played for fun, always crying about something, always complaining I was not following the meta
>>722447676loved that age of youtube animations
>>722447676League porn has aged well
>>722448035Maybe it's just my reading comprehension but this kinda reads as "Just don't fucking interact with him"
>>722448430Yeah I mean it kinda is that way, that's the best way to deal with him (or at least was). Anywhere he's had potential to setup is dangerous so you can't go there.I mained him support season 3/4/5 and the best thing was being ganked, it was always an easy turnaround. Also roaming mid was very strong, or even going jungle hunting. The most frustrating times for me were when enemies basically refused to engage at all, that's when I got no gold and wasn't very useful.
>>722395937>nobody gives a shit about my main>mini rework completely changes the core identity>still at <1% pick rate>I only get to play the gimped version of my mainfuck riot right in their e-sports centered ass
>>722378676I can't believe I've played this stupid game long enough to remember this exact comic last night when my Pantheon support ulted, without warning, into the middle of the enemy team with *none* of us even close to follow up.Glad to know literally nothing has changed in all these years.
>>722395937The shotgun knees are really cool but yeah of course it's so weird to completly change a champion and remove the original entirely.
>>722419121>>722419229Well at least you guys are honest and validated my assessment of the games.I knew a classmate who also had LoL addiction fuck his life up, and one who kept playing DotA all night he developed epilepsy had seizures rather frequently in school.Hope you guys are alright now.
>>722448430NTA but shaco's weakness is anti-stealth, map vision and teamfightsalso if you can catch him when he's unprepared that works just as wellbasically you don't want to give him time to set up boxes behind you or on his retreat path and you don't want to lose sight of him
>>722449582>picOff topic, but why are Yamato players always so cracked? The pic is very real.
>>722449582I think a lot of my problems long precede my LoL addiction, but it certainly exacerbated them. I always struggled going outside, and when my primary form of socialisation became LoL rather than hanging out, I lost my tolerance completely. Add on to that my sense of self-worth being almost entirely tied to my rank and ability, and I stopped progressing my own skills and life for years on end.I'm starting to get some things back on track now, but it's an incredible uphill battle.I still miss LoL a lot, think about it daily despite not having played it in 4 years at least now. So embarrassing to admit.
not gonna lie, mundo's rework kinda ruined the game for meit's so stupid too because the rework was so minor but it took away a lot of meaningful stuff like the CC duration reduction on his W and the free magic resist on his Eplus his new R was a lot weaker than the old onethe new minigame on his passive also kind of pissed me off too, I hate how modern riot needs every champ to have some stupid minigame
>>722446951fucking kek
>>722450337I fear the day my boy Veigar climbs those hallowed steps
>>722450337>I hate how modern riot needs every champ to have some stupid minigameIt's like modern Riot is allergic to simple heroes, there is nothing wrong with heroes that have simple kits that can synergise with items. It's part of the reason why I loved Cho so much.
>>722450337it'a funny how mundobros are the only ones capable of udnerstanding how dogshit his rework waspeople who never touched him just go>he's the same but stronger!!1!1!!1!when he's in fact much weaker
>>722391356lee sin, then yasuo was the beginning of the end, retard
>>722377852I saw this thread last night sink to the 8th or 9th page with no replies now its approaching bump limitthese memes are like 15 years olddo you know how long ago 15 years is?
>>722450337>Enjoy playing Skarner>They move his tiered buffs into a stupid burst buff like everyone else in the game>Added a really fucking gay and annoying map gimmick for no reason>People kept saying who cares bro he's the same but stronger when rito balance was well known at that point alreadyI fucking hate the "minor" reworks way more than the major ones at this point
Honestly the only two reworks that I've enjoyed out of a gazillion are Nunu, because honestly the most important parts of his kit are still the same and Graves, because I didn't like old Graves really but the new one was unique and fun even though he kinda did ruin the game for a year
>>722377852THIS WILL BE A SLAUGHTER!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4v82aaJwsg
>>722450880His healing feels completely gutted and his CC reduction turned into a dollar store malzahar passive. He is fine visually but everything else aside from his Q (which is basically the same) sucks so much
Blue yordle women owe me things
>>722451127They added the mini game because dominion and skarner are tied together lore wise.What's fucking hilarious is that they released a character called "Seraphine" who is basically sona 2.0 in every way besides breast size. IIRC, in lore seraphine uses the brackern crystals, which are skarners dormant sleeping people, to power her fucking hover board and microphone by using their souls as batteries. She even has a line to skarner avout it, something along the lines of "i can hear their voices too", and its this bizarre and fucked up thing to do that riot somehow didnt realize would make her look like a sociopath, so they eventually just changed the lore around the crystals to not make her look bad. Im not sure its matters anymore anyway as last I checked they turned skarner into a generic shurima sand monster and removed most interesting things about him.
>>722399206>no Veigarkys
>>722451056I wish I didnt realize how long ago it was.
>>722447034there was a time when a lot of people plain didn't care about what was best or "meta" as they say, triforce, atmogs, and warmogs used to be the best combination of items on a disgusting amount of champs in the game, plus flash was almost always the best choice compared to other summoner spells
>>722453589>>722451127The spire skarner was actually fine after they tweaked him, saying 'he's unpopular' is a cope because there are 170 champs and you're always going to have SOME unpopular champs. the rework was a travesty though and he went from having a small but niche and dedicated playerbase into nobody giving a shit about him except for when he's overpowered, and his lore and visuals are pure dogshitrest in piece skarner
>>722453220>His healing feels completely guttedit's not a matter of feelingIT IS worseused to be 0.3% max hp regen every second and now it's every FIVE secondsthat's five times worsemight as well not be there considering how useless it isand his ult has double the cooldown with worse healing until maxed out without any good cooldown reduction options cause the faggots in charge decided to remove cdr for a shittier system and then went and removed the stat from most items anyway cause fuck you
>>722453221i want to suck on tristanas hairy long nailed toes
>>722453741atmas* honestly I totally forgot what it did actually, I definitely remember triforce empowering basic attacks when using a skill and warmogs making you stupidly tanky with the added bonus of having a % of max health regen every second though
I miss stacking mobility skills on skarner in Aram back when it had the loud ass horn item.When activated all at ounce, you could drag the enemy back a football fields length.I called it "RaceKarner"
>>722453854Atmas gave crit, armor, and AD based on HP. It was also just a very gold efficient item IIRC.
>>722454037>AD based on HPjesus christ thats way worse than I remembered, what the fuck were they thinking
>>722453817I'd prefer their tiny little blue peach, but you do you, friend
>>722411636cute
>be new in season 2>mess around with all sorts of items1v1 an experienced friend as taric and rush ionic spark>destroyed him>man this item is really good>people tell me its garbage, but i still play top and rush it on some characters to destroy>towards the end of the season a lot of top laners are rushing it, especially on ShenI felt vindicated.
>>722453589>They added the mini game because dominion and skarner are tied together lore wise.Yeah I don't care the mini game sucked ass
>>722453763The worst thing is that they changed his entire character into a stat stick. He can only possibly function when he's got disgusting numbers because they've added so much hypermobility and interrupts and obscene damage to everyone else that a genuinely simple tank/bruiser kit can't function>i need to channel for half a second every time i want to cast 3/4ths of my kitlike that shit is never going to work in modern league
>>722395937Gangplank or Trundle.
>>722454939meanwhile old skarner>permanent movespeed with W>more movespeed every time you procced his passive>MORE movespeed off trinity+black cleaver>if you wanted to go full troll, take phase rush, waterwalking, improved boots, whatever you could fitEven without your ult kidnaps, you'd be constantly weaving in and out, stunning people and shitting out damage with triforce procs, having an absolute blast
>>722451056that's because i made that thread at a terrible time i guess
>>722451056>do you know how long ago 15 years is?in 15 years you'll be saying shit where did the time go
Wlif the released an early version of league, say season 1,2, or 3, would you play it? Would it be good or would it just be lile 2019 classic wow where the game is basically solved and the players have changed so much that the game would just be shit anyways?
>>722431391Holy shit I've been saying "So fahnny joke" for over a decade and never managed to find this comic again
>>722455153Issue with that is that he's just a worse Hecarim because hecarim is just a tank's kit but given absurd scalings. And the crystal zones are both always awkward to play around and too hard for the lazy faggots at riot to make work on all the alternate maps.

>>722456610i'm 31, not really nostalgic over league but i did save a bunch of pics back then
Wonder what ever happened to the guy that made these. He was making quality content on the ground floor in 2010. He could easily be making bank by now with something else
>>722456610Where were you a decade ago?
I will always have old league in my heart. It's a shame it had such a slow rot and it got its sould ripped out layer by layer.Even if it had flaws it was soulful, I really liked the lore, playing it and reading theories on the forums. They deleted the forums, deleted every champion and it is no longer league of legends. R.I.P.
>>722456610To be fair, DOTA did take over WCIII modding scene and that game is older than /v/ itself.
