IWD Reacts to League Season 1 Championship | Legacy League

[@harrisonhall8966]

The year was 2011. I was finishing my senior year of high school and me and my four best friends formed the League team OPMeta. We were unstoppable game changers. We spammed Poppy/Soraka bot and handily won every normals game that we queued. We entered one local tournament, got target banned, lost every game, and never attempted competitive League again. Memories

[@stamatisarvanitidis2430]

There is nothing funnier than old Warwick's R animation.

[@Zexxion1]

I mean... Rengar getting one shot is pretty funny too

[@clerpington_the_fifth]

and the quarter screen range for his Q claw animation

[@Alex02CA]

“I think in NA we didn’t know freezing existed” We still don’t 🤣

[@pete5516]

This is the content I’ve wanted to see from knowledgeable creators like Dom or LS for a while. covering the changing strategies in pro play and how players improved over the years, as well as the increasing skill gap between the west and east. Keep it up.

[@pete5516]

As a side note it would be cool to see videos on the story of each team that won worlds (or the most important ones) and the journey that got them there like assessing their play at multiple points through the year to see what made them world champion material

[@Cremlindor]

I don't think LS knows how the game worked back then. I think he joined in like season 3

[@Awesomeficationify]

@@Cremlindor not even. LS was like season 5 or 6. He was pretty late to scene by comparison to Dom. He had starcraft things to do lol.

[@the_beemer]

@@Awesomeficationify Season 4 is what its in my head. I think he was living in the Samsung house while they won 2014 and started playing league there

I was really hoping for stuff like this, can’t wait to see more. This is the league content I’ve wanted the most

[@vysorc9580]

The complexity vs curse 80 minute game would be a fun one to see analyzed, but Dom probably doesn't want to rewatch that game

[@seventh-hydra]

Curse vs Dignitas ARAM at MLG.

[@austenanderson3475]

I died laughing… with this jg item you had a random chance to deal 500 damage to camps. So you either would one shot your camp or sit there forever and never finish your camps. I loved that item 😂😂😂

[@viktorsa]

Hey dom can you react to the time you got reverse swept by lmq or 2015 gauntlet vs c9 and explain what went wrong? Would love to hear it from someone who had actually played these games! Video#8

Dom. Good on you for actually doing what your audience requests. The first video of yours I saw in 5+ years was the Doublelift Regi controversy video, then someone said, "I'd like to see him react to the game they were talking about in the car lol" and then you did it, and I watched that too and loved it, now this. I wish more people would take stock of what their audience wants to see. Good on you mate.

[@areichental]

Holy crap what a trip down memory lane. I still remember eating cinnamon buns, drinking coffee and losing my mind that this was a thing that I could watch on the internet. These were the games that changed the next 4 years of my life and are definitely the reason I went to Korea. Amazing times.

[@Kongaii]

Its very interesting how you can just look at cs and know who the good players were that would stay around for years to come

[@xfightforlibertyx]

God I miss old league. This made me so happy as someone who has been playing since season one. Still playing but it just isn't the same.

[@domagoj905]

Agree. It just have this nostalgic feel its crazy. Me and a couple of my friends played a lot of Twisted Treeline ranked teams. I miss that it was so fun. Wish they bring it back..

You should review IPL 5 Moscow 5 vs WE. It had Misaya TF and it was the first game where I saw a macro diff and even noticed macro as the reason a team won

they had some triple A games too, not gonna lie and then Soaz and Yellowstar going to FNC later on hehe

[@RincrowTheOmnipotent]

yeah back then fnatic sk aaa were the EU titans. Before Empire/Moscow 5. AAA wouldt dominate European scene but they would get bested by NA teams at every major for w/e reason. I enjoyed the LAN circuit format so much more than the current season format. Past S5 i got bored of the current format. The Lan circuit was so damn hype.

[@Extalic]

What a trip down memory lane this was. Insane how far league has come! Thanks for making this Dom.

[@GuttlessKing]

Dude, this series you are starting is amazing! Request/recommendation: If I may suggest a game, please do the xPeke Kassadin backdoor game. fnatic vs SK Gaming, IEM Katowice 2013 (I think). Awesome content, can't wait for more :)

React on season 2 championship tpa journey, i really like their story and how they got from being wildcard to winning entire tournament.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Modern day League STILL looks like nonsensical chaos during teamfights sometimes but this was just next level. I PLAYED during this era, and I can't comprehend what's going on most of the time and these champions are ridiculously simple compared to the newer champions lol.

[@vanha5692]

I remember MoMa was considered the goat anivia player before Froggen got into the scene, they had a short rivalry over who was better at the champ. Also the Nidalee bans targeted at HotshotGG, considerrd best nidalee in the world at the time

[@noahkusaba2451]

Could you review IEM Hannover/K, which marked M5's dominance in the scene? Amazing moments and innovation happened there

[@lmaokiji]

wow didn‘t know lee was in season 1 worlds :o i remember they had an april fools champion spotlight with lee sin, but i know back then they released a champion every other week lol. when i first played league, karma was the champion that came out new. btw the final xpeke & cynide vs soaz & yellowstar xd

[@codykeane6107]

So crazy how far the basics have come seeing both ADCs with 30 CS at 12 minutes with a no kill lane is hilarious, you wouldn't see that in iron these days.

[@Sariiger]

Were you watching the same games? Ashe had 97 CS at 12 minutes, and Caitlyn had 105 in the first game. In the second, Corki already had 69 CS and Ashe had 88 at 11 minutes. In the third game, Corki had 52 CS and Caitlyn had 42 before 8 minutes. Tell me in which one you saw both ADCs with 30 CS at 12 minutes.

[@CrazyIvan64]

You used to start with 475 gold back then not 500 and Doran's Ring cost 450g so you couldn't buy a potion, which used to cost 35g. Sapphire crystal was 400g + 70g for the two pots though the point Dom was making about the different starting items is still true. This is how "Cloth 5" used to be a thing because cloth armour was 300g and the 5 potions came to exactly 175 gold (35 x 5) to make up the rest. It "Boots 3" and not 5 because as Dom correctly says boots cost 350g back then and not 300.

[@wallr54]

Its wild that the mechanics in these games are basically on par with present day plat players, shit is wild. So cool to see how far the game has come

[@anubis9151]

[@ChoppersRevenge]

Can't wait for him to watch some legendary M5 games

[@PassivesAbseits]

Correct me, if I am wrong, but back then, Riot didn't actually expect to have jungle as a role. The jungle was there as a catch-up option, if you fell behind in lane. That's why clearing the camps at level 1 was so insanely difficult... But that was also the good old time, where you could pick Taric Yi Duo Top and not get flamed for it...

[@ImRinoes]

I know I'm not good at the game. But as a plat I'm pretty sure I'm better than at least some of the players there and I love that. The constant evolution of play and understanding of the game that even noobs like me have nowadays, that makes this look like a bronze spectates video. Keep it up dom would love to see s2 and s3 too!

[@RK-jt4yc]

DOM NEED TO MAKE MORE OF THESE

[@6666Imperator]

damn seeing the old champion avatars and skill icons etc again. And names like Lamia, Cyanide and Shushei...nostalgia is kicking in.

[@omnidps]

There was one play I hope Dom can react to. I don't remember the name or tournament, but it was an Ezreal clip at maybe worlds(?) where an ADC was 2v1 and won, and got a triple kill, cause his ult sniped an Orianna on the map.

[@mueslibob88]

im already excited about the insane series that will come like skt rox, g2 rng, kt ig, ssw ssb and a lot of memorable single games

[@giggles7638]

Maybe the most entertaining thing about this video, is we all get to see that Gragas looks the exact same...

[@luiz_paninis]

I feel like the absurd damage creep in the game now is a result of how much healing is in the game. The only way for burst champs to stay relevant is to one-shot. If they lower the healing I think they could lower the damage too

[@sean666999100]

Back then you could play a 'Revive' summoner spell as well, people would use it on Karthus just to ult more often.

[@KingJerbear]

I feel like people always comment on how bad the play was back in the day, but you really gotta think just how new everything was. Nowadays you can boot up the game for the very first time, and it will ask you to pick a role to play... back then roles basically weren't even a thing. Everything was still experimentation, you didn't have 20 websites tracking stats and finding out optimal builds, jungle clears, and strategies... it was the wild west.
