League was a more accessible HoN which was a more accessible DotA. They've tried to keep it accessible while balancing their attempts at making it an "esport", despite it never taking off except in one specific region.
It's really a fascinating study on just how little money is required to keep a game going.

I kinda miss playing League back in 2010-2011 with friends over Skype. Back when most of the heroes were for fun. Gold making pirate, scarecrow who throws birds, a yordle with a bazooka, a spartan who can jump into your pool from his pool, an invisible rat gangster, a robot with a retractable arm. AP Yi. Shen porting in on his team and taunting the enemy and locking them down. Spin to win Garen with flame cloaks. Hitting an Ashe arrow from across the map. Then they started adding faggots like Jarvan and Fizz and "bruisers". Promised a ton of fun shit but canceled most of it in favor of e-sports and getting people to spend money.

The retards at riot did it themselves.
Whos to blame for the map being ruined?
The heros getting turned into dashing apm bots?
Destroying the visual design?
Everything turning ultra woke and gay?
Meta based around pro-play?
Removing of maps and gamemodes?
The abortion that was arcane?
The worst tencent did would the push for chink appeal like the nasty kpop and the gookdoll hero designs.

Back then I played the game and only interacted with people I met in the game, everything was great.
Around 2013 it started going to shit, in 2014 I started disliking it, in 2015 I hated it.
Then I started going to the forums, 4chan, reddit for the first time, and found out just how disgusting the people who talk about this game were, I don't know if those forums were the bubble, or the people I met ingame were the bubble, but the difference was huge.

They do that shit a lot. What I dont like is how they dictate the meta so nothing in the game is natural. For example, they will buff Lee Sin massively before Worlds because
>"He is exciting to watch and makes flashy plays"
So theyre straight up admitting they're making a character OP just cause it's for pro play.

Yeah, thanks for that.
>>
Still hate to this day that instead of working on their "quirky" champs that have build variety and a kit that interacts with others that they instead gut them and use the current FOTM kit design on them. My favourite is when they design the AD/AP scaling system, then get mad at people for recognising that the AD/AP scaling can make for fun new ways to play them.
It's like, why even have this scaling system if you are going to funnel people into a scaling path to begin with? Let players have fun in trying to see how far they can break something. Shit nigga, you had Guinsoo on the team, his era of DOTA was known for ridiculously unorthodox shit.

I'm not joking when I say that 1 out of 4 matches had a boosted fuck in them, and 100% of them were filled with ego tripping tards who never learned social skills, got bullied and school and used the game as an outlet for their retardation.\
I lost all motivation to climb further afterwards.

The matchmaking is worse than ever. It's pretty common to have an important role like jungle autofilled these days, which means you're probably going to loss if the enemy jungle is a main jungle.

I stopped playing because my favorite role (ADC) has kinda sucked for years now. And mages bot lane are very common now because they can waveclear way better than ADCs can and never go out of mana after they get a tear.

It's just not fun and hasn't been for a long time.

Nice bait but seriously, you have no idea what you missed if you started playing this (and any competitive online game for that matter) after 2012, everything changed dramatically and for the worst. You will never know what it felt to just hit play and get matched with other people that just wanted to play the game for the game and not for dressing up Teemo in the latest skin or because the popular streamer X is playing or because the best guy in the world did a thing in that one tourney or god knows what other garbage reason or maybe all of them combined into one. You will never know what it feels like to go mid with shit like Janna or Shin just because you feel like it because there's no forced meta (by the game or loudmouths otherwise) and actually wreck the opposition because they're simply not used to dealing with unconventional picks. More importantly, you will never know what the internet was like before it was taken over by third world subhumans.

lmao you dudes are so spoiled, it's like kids complaining, noooo my jungler is an autofillllll
brother, before this role memery everyone was an autofill, the chances of you getting the role you wanted were very low.
in 2014 I got 10 matches in a row as last pick, you know what last pick means? it means you are forced to support, and I'm not a support player...
that's when I quit ranked and spammed blind normal, saying in chat mid or feed, and always got my role, it was a great experience.
except sometimes I would lose mid and my team would complain at me "you said mid or feed not mid and feed"
>>
>>736420128
>>736420325
Was this season 2 or 3? I had pretty much the same experience. Stopped playing support because half of the games either the ADC or the APC would throw a hissy fit and afk/feed.

>before this role memery everyone was an autofill, the chances of you getting the role you wanted were very low.

2013 is season 3, season 1 of ranked started in 2011, 2010 had no ranked and 2009 was beta.
well, I don't know if earlier seasons were better at high rank because I was a low elo shitter, I ended season 2 with 1500 elo, but thats because I was dumb and played on the NA server with 200 ping, in season 3 I moved to EUW and got plat in 2 weeks just cause the ping made that big of a difference.
but I remember playing custom games in 2011 and it would show people's elo, there were some dudes who were 1700-1900 elo which was around platinum in season 3, but they would troll around playing ad annie and saying that's how she's played in high elo, which at that time I believed...

but I also remember asking a 1900 elo guy for advice, and he told me to pick lee sin, ward behind the enemy, W to the ward, and kick the enemy into my team.
my mind was blown, about a year later that insec guy did it in tournament and it was named after him.
it was a different world back then when the internet didn't have information all over the place and you had to be in the know with the right people.

After they put Vanguard in the game I knew LoL was toast. Imagine willingly putting a root kit in your PC that lets Tencent spy on you to play a game that's nowhere near as good as it was pre-Season 11. While there were some bullshit champs/items across the years back then too, it was nowhere near as bad as stealth buffing all damage to the point you do a "durability patch" and it doesn't even fucking matter because Diana one taps you anyways.

How does it even work? Does it have a fixed time when you can now leave the lane, are heroes assigned to a lane by default or is it in the pick screen, can anyone enter the jungle or is that also a "lane" for the lane swap? I don't understand.

>How does it even work?
Idk since i haven't played for a while but i imagine it's only for the first 10 minutes or so, and it probably was put in to prevent people from lane swapping for better match ups but i think that's gay, since it helps counter pickers and fucks you over if you're getting stomped in lane, since you're forced into sitting there and getting stomped even harder

i will never forgive Riot for what they've done to Varus in terms of lore

this game went to absolute shit at the same time when they started turning lore into some seriouz shit instead of keeping summoners and everything around it

He could be buffed and made better but everyone (myself included) hates him so much that it would make his ban rate at least 70%. And if you rework him you piss off his playerbase which , I'd imagine, consists mainly of OTPs

>give me a quick run down
Dota with guns and 3D, and good movement
Everyone aims and shoots, carries more than others because they usually carry through gun damage
Movement is very good with lots of things you can do, fun to get around, stamina system is fair limit so aiming and prediction is still possible. There's dashing, dash-jumping, double jumping, air dashing, down-dashing, walljumps, sliding and mantling available to everyone. Certain heroes and items give even more mobility, like one item allows a second double jump and air dash, and another item gives you an active that launches you far into the air in a direction
>>
>>736413535
you can't swap for the first few minutes because people were actually applying "strategy" by swapping out of unfavorable matchups where they're forced to eat shit until level 4 and riot hates strategy
riot wants to pretend league is an action game

i played one game to see what it was like and was killed about 20 times.

>>736421946
Taric before they reworked him, but rework Taric's passive double swing auto is super satisfying and having double casts of abilities from the ally shield is neat.
Aurelion Sol before they reworked him was my favorite character and I quit after the rework. His passive rotating stars and being able to expand them outward and back in was the most interesting thing in the game for me.
Fuck you riot

Did Tencent own Riot before LoL?
Because League has always been shit.
The entire genre is trash.

This class system looks silly. I can't tell if it's meant to give each class an active ability, or what, and why they don't just make them a part of each character's kit as appropriate.
Does everyone designated as 'marksman' really need a blink?
>>736426434
Depends on a lot of things. I'm a complete aimlet though and I've done well just picking heroes who rely less on aiming. There's plenty of heroes available like that - for example if you're playing Ivy as a support build or nuker build, you don't really need to shoot as much once lane's over, since all your damage and healing will be in your spells.
Each hero has a different gun, and some are harder or easier to aim with than others (Graves has a literal autoaim beam, for example). Certain heroes are also just harder or easier to hit than others (McGinnis is a big target, her dash is slower than usual, and she only has 2 stamina so she can't do as many tricks before she's out).
And even if you're playing an aiming hero, you can buy items to try and lock an enemy down (slows, stuns, etc).
Basically - yes aiming's fucking hard in this, but it's not a skill that will break the bank if you want to focus elsewhere

>Does this mean that the entire team is the same level?
No, each person has their own networth. It's just that networth and level are tied, you always hit max level when your networth hits like 60k iirc (games don't usually go that late though)
>>
>>736426587
That's what I though.
So Tencent didn't ruin shit
>>
>>736426742
>People are toxic
People are competitive and have fragile egos. Its "Only i am allowed to make mistakes" mentality
Dead by Daylight has a more poisonous community of entitlement than any moba ive played desu
>>
>>736426672
>the entire team is the same level?
In lane souls are evenly split with your partner but farming solo/not dying will put you ahead. Hero levels/NW are closer together than other mobas but you'll still get the occasional hard carry with 30% more than anyone else in the game.
Personally I have the most fun when our whole team is contributing and I can buy luxury items as a support to keep us alive and ahead.
>>
>>736426742
It's true. League doesn't even have a proper tutorial, it literally teaches you nothing, but I wouldn't say it's that hard to learn since there are millions of videos that explain every concept be it as basic as walking or as complex as some niche interactions between 2 champions. Every game there's going to be some retard typing shit but you can just mute him
>>736426861

I don’t know why Riot is going so hard into toxicity management. Maybe they associate it with player base decline but that certainly isn’t the case. Culture simply passed them by as now with battle royale. The company peaked at the 10 year anniversary. The real fault is failing to expand Runeterra into other genres. They put one small foot in with Forge but indie games in niche genre’s were never going to pan out. They needed to make actual games.

The reason people quit the game is because of awful matchmaking. If you played enough games you can tell when you will be on a losing streak
>>
>>736427416
they also use a winning streak right after a long pause of not playing to hook you back in. try it. dont play for maybe a month and then randomly hope on ranked. you'll get the 3 easiest games of your life.

I've noticed this everytime I'm returning for a few games. Riot is so obvious and oblivious themselves.
>>
>>736427416
Yeah the over engineered 50% balance is awful. You’re telling me the guy who plays a bum champ with a 30% winrate on them happens to be all the way up here, yeah right. And then riot removed being able to see peoples names in champ select so you couldn’t dodge their obvious bullshit.
>>
>>736427797
yeah but the problem is they will try to keep you at a forced 50/50 so you'll just lose the next 3 games, unless you're so much more exceptional that you'll carry 4 other players by yourself. If you're diamond, you'd need to be a grand master to do that. If you're emerald, probbaly diamond 1 or master.

Im only emerald myslef but if i hop on my bronze IV smurf, i can effectively 1v5. the issue is when you're only slightly better than the players of the same rank. Then you have to play like 200 games with a 51% win ratio just to rank up.

the worst part is that after you get those lose streaks you MMR is going down the drain. Hope you enjoy -25 +15. This is why people smurf which also makes lower elos suck. I'm an emerald player, I'm currently smurfing in gold because playing on my main account is awful. I'd love to play in emerald-diamond lobbies but riot does everything in their power to make that experience miserable

The reason was always the same, because their sponsors don't want to associate with a game where the players keep saying that they will fuck your mother.

Maxing crit damage was the best. Just rush infinity edge with sheen and play russian roulette with your opponents. Sure, often you do like 20% of their health, but sometimes you could randomly kill someone at 70% hp.

I'm not sure I ever did it in SR, perhaps in Dominion because I played a lot of dumb shit in that, but I have vivid memories of dunking on friends in 1v1 by rushing Ionic spark on Taric. That one worked more than it should have.
>>
>>736430178
It was fun while it was up. When the game is actually out I'm sure they'll put some bullshit weapon or champion in the game that ruins it. It was already looking that way when players were defending level 1 epics saying "just work with your team better, it's good for the game" meanwhile you were laning level 1 against an entire team of level 4's if they did the strat correctly.
>>
>>736430178
I tried it out during an open alpha/beta a few months back and it felt even slower than I remember old league being.
