Should You Start Playing League?

[@OutsideJoke]

Hey everyone! Soo a few quick things. As you noticed I'm trying out a different kind of video! Unfortunately because it was my first time trying this style a few issues also came with it so I apologize for some of the issues that popped up. Also after recording this I also became very aware that I talked really fast... I typically try and slowdown but I guess it kind of went over my head this time. I went in and personally added all of the English subtitles, as well as put on the automatic subtitles on for Romanian, German, Polish, and Spanish. I have no idea if the other languages will be accurate 😂 but maybe they'll help someone out. Anyways, sorry for the inconveniences and sorry for the wait! This one took me a while to finish 😬 I hope you enjoy though! Also shameless plug to my twitter ._. twitter.com/OutsideJokeTV

Hey, real quick, I was wondering how much time a day you have in your head for the "5-7 years" to collect all the champions. Because I've been playing for almost a year and a half (without playing much over the past two months) and I'm only missing around 30. And even if it's just a match or two a day, I still think 5-7 YEARS is a massive overstatement.

I usually tell people everything related to League is great. TFT, LoRT, the stories, Arcane, etc. With the exception of League of Legends it self for a wide variety of reasons. You really need to want to learn league if your gonna play (and be delusional)

So basically, "You can play anything but, League of Legends."

Other good points: - The lore is amazing. Honestly really good. - There's really cool content creators to watch. - TFT is built in and is fun! - Game gets constantly updated and new content is added every month. - Competitive scene is pretty fun to watch. - If you play ranked you can brag to your friends you got laid, cause I garantee you Solo Q will fuck you in more than one way.

[@stakezen7825]

Some advice from a League player When your tilted what you should do is immediately take a break for 30 minutes and watch something that makes you get into a good mood and always remember to have fun and look at the bright side of EVERY GAME also when it comes to improvement you should do something along the lines of watch content from other players instead of just playing the game over and over if you do that you can develop bad habits making you lose more making you tilted also most smurfs are going to actually be very nice if you ask them to teach you crap

[@nogetmaerkeligt1st153]

[@eno4333]

And a character tip for you if you're not sure what champ to main, there's a quiz for character you would like in the official riot league of legends website. Here are some champ recommendations from me (all only works in low elo) Top - play garen to get the hang of it and than switch to darius or play my main Sett the fking boss Mid - orianna or zed/akali if you like melee assassins (works for high elo as well) (ahri is too different for beginners in my opinion) Jungle - Master yi also known as no skill champ or phantheon also a no skill champ Bot - Ezreal (it'll take some time to get decent), misfortune the ez adc or not good for beginner champion Aphelios TRUST ME DUDE WHEN YOU GET GOOD AT THE GAME APHELIOS WILL BE A MONSTER OF A CHAMPION support - just don't play support

[@LochAndKey_]

I remember my first game ever as Azir when I was around lvl 20 or so I was against a yasuo smurf. Every time I died to him he'd give me tips on how I can position and that I was almost there with my shuffle. Felt really good and is one of the reasons I didn't instantly give up on playing Azir

I've played League on and off since shortly after its launch and honestly I am still blown away sometimes by the amount of toxic crap people throw at each other, how wounded pride and egos collide. It is the single most decisive negative to this game, because the steep learning curve is also found in many other games and for some people that's part of the fun. The excessive negativity is enough to make a seasoned veteran like myself take regular breaks from the game.

[@dunstonlion1342]

I feel like I would NEVER recommend league as a solo experience. Particularly when you're starting out. The most, and kinda only, fun I have with the game is when we're five manning ARAMs and drinking. But the solo experience has been consistently bad and I wouldn't wish that on my friends.

[@Gorecatto]

This seems to be the most popular opnion. But i cant stand aram, its even worse with my friends. You get thrown into random champions , which isnt bad on itself , but 95% of the cases , one team will get ranged/ poke champs and the other tanks/low ranged champs which make the game impossible for one of the teams. This is of course not including when you use aram to try out new characters and the other team gets their OTP. Oh lets include the fact that people still type on aram , like what the fuck , its a for fun game mode and people still go bitching in the chat? So basically , i simply cant stand aram , if im going to have the league experience , i want to have it with a champion i like to play at least

[@animorte9790]

@@Gorecatto I definitely understand this. In a lot of cases ARAM has opened me up to other champions I might otherwise not have thought to try.

Don't play ranked, watch someone play a few games or go onto youtube to see what you're getting into, for reference; I've been told people will kill everyone I know on ranked, and I've gotten engaged with a random ahri mid in a normal game.

As someone who started literally 2 weeks before preseason 11 started, I can definitely say the first 30-something levels scarred my league experience xD. So many smurfs and tilters everywhere, and when you told them you’re low-level and learning that just adds fuel to their fire. I ended up using /muteall and switching to full ARAM mode until mid lvl 70s because I couldn’t handle constantly getting singled-out and camped by the enemy every game. Wayyy better now that I have a reliable group of friends to play Draft with and we laugh at our toxic teammates together, but boy does the game suck for newbies looking to learn

[@alcoschure2658]

At least be proud of yourself that you got in games with smurfs? It depends on your winrate. When you Smurf and don’t suck you are almost always with full Smurf teams of both sides if it isn’t an bought account

[@cyrus6236]

*Alright.* I’ve played this game for nearly 10 years and truthfully, I would’ve gone back and told myself back then to not get into it. Hours wasted. Days wasted. It’s probably the only game where I can consistently say it’s ruins my mood. When you win; often you feel like you where on a dice roll rollercoaster and with time, just brings your mood to mediocre at best. I’d say out of 100 wins, only about 20% of them feel deserved and gratifying When you lose; you hate your teammates and usually take it out disproportionately on yourself. And above all else, you learn this game ON YOUR OWN. Your teammates; learned the game ON THEIR OWN. Knowing this, you will NEVER (seriously not in 10 years) will be on a complete sync with another player, and assuming so will only lead to disappointment and nitpicking. In current season 12 the game has been funneled into learning only 1 specific role and a couple specific champions to where 90% of players have no real concept of what the team needs to do to win. Saddest part is, if you don’t fall into this specified learning, you’ll fall behind extremely fast unless you spend 2-300 hours on this soul wrenching game. Then. Maybe you can have fun

[@smilelovecookie]

Point of toxicity: I've been playing competitive games for years and years, and never been toxic to anyone. Didn't ragequit, didn't insult, didn't hate on anyone. Especially in voice chat games like Overwatch back in the days as a female Widowmaker master player, which is basically the worst case scenario when it comes to toxicity, I've always been supportive and didn't bother. And then I started playing League 3 years ago and.. oh boy. Oh boy. I've had my moments. Don't EVER underestimate the toxicity of League of Legends and its community.

I think it’s important to remind people to learn the game at their rhythm and to not rush it. It’s normal to lose, it’s normal to not be perfect, it’s normal to screw up a combo and it’s normal to get caught off guard by an ambush.

I remember when i started playing league i played my first game vs and with bots and i thought i could only use my ability if i would level it up to lvl 5. So yeah i played master yi vs bots and only with auto attacks.

[@proto594]

"it takes about 5-7 years to collect every champion" when I've played so much in the 2 years since I started that I already have every champion...

[@haydentrozzi1907]

After I quit league and have had 2 years time to look back at it and when I was truly happy with it I have to say it was around the time the rune pages with glyphs and tier 1 2 and 3 runes existed. I felt such a high level of customability and I could have so much fun personally hand building my rune page to take into the game. Not to mention the masteries were a lot simpler and fun to use as well. This game is just to spun up and diluted now for me to find any enjoyment in it. They need to uninstall about 6 or 7 years worth of content to get me back.

[@c14st3k2]

the bad point: i have only one its taking a lot of time to hit gold on my main acc when i got -15 and +14 i dont want to buy fresh acc with 30 lvl i want to hit gold easier

[@juliager5702]

I started playing in 2020 (yeah, the lockdown made me do it) and I’m female in my 30s, and the majority of my gaming experience was.. idk.. the Sims😅 and that was harsh, I’m telling you) I usually played with my friends, including our smurf friend, who tried to explain the game along the way. I saw all kinds of people😅 But those few times I played alone, I somehow hacked the system and actually got ok or even nice teammates. I left SR with ~7 games win streak, and I was too afraid to touch it ever after because I felt the revenge was coming my way😅 I’ve unfortunately parted ways with my league friends and only played tft ever since

[@juliager5702]

@Mike Williams he was in Diamond at the time. Very smurf as compared to me)

[@mango-fh4dh]

I remember i used to watch my brothers play league of legends in 2012. I started to play the game in 2021 and I'm still playing

[@delta4135]

6:21 I stopped getting any satisfaction from this game after items rework. Even If winning against stronger opponents or easy winning against far weaker opponents the game wasnt fun anymore, and new bounty system only escalated this problem. The game itself started to be toxic, not only people. Stopped playing lol for couple of months right now, and I feel great. Sadly many people wont stop bc, they favorite streamers plays it. Why? Bc they are getting paid for it.

[@7Coltatul96]

Quick tip. If u have the "lock screen syndrome" just play zac. Trust me u cant use your "E" at your max range without unlocking your screen.

[@Meklein]

Great video man. I've always been a fan of the "Can we talk about this" style of video and the fact that you made a video about the good and bad things about League without making the whole thing a haha league is trash joke is truly great. I will most definitely be sending this to my 2 remining friends to try and convince them to play some League with me.

[@OutsideJoke]

Thanks a lot!

[@voidraldarken]

I’ve known League of Legends for about a year or two. And only a few months ago was I able to actually remember all of the items’ effects. *Roughly.*

[@nataodutton4344]

it doesn't take 5-7 years to have every champ I started playing 2 years ago in the 1st year I was playing like 30-40 games a week(maybe a lot) but now maybe 10 games a week for the last year and I just got all the champs

[@carloz3273]

same vives, lol catched me in quarentine and hadnt an other game to play XD

[@spooky2526]

Yup, about to make it to my second year and I have like 10 left to buy

[@tselis]

As someone who has been playing for 4 years. I still don't have everyone. It's called being stupid and not waiting on shards. Plus the blue essence store exists sometimes and pains my virtual wallet

[@andreiferariu]

I started in 2021. It was one of the worst starting experiences I've ever had to a game - starting from zero in everything is hell.

[@weedblaster2125]

No. Stay as far away from it as possible. I tell this to every person who asks me about League, despite me playing it everyday. Game is an addiction I haven't been able to break for nearly 7 years. It's fun at first. Learning all the character's names, the rules of the game, abilites, etc. Then that stops. You start to know nearly everything about the game. Every champion, their skins, their cooldowns, their weaknesses, their counter-picks and winning matchups, their roles. The game becomes a constant information overload with flashy damage numbers and colorful effects to keep your brain entertained. Seeing the colors and animation of an enemy's health bar quickly falling just once will keep you playing for 10 more games, just to feel that sharp dopamine rush again. Same with getting multiple kills or the elusive Penta Kill. But it's never quite as good as the first time. But you don't care, maybe the next one will scratch that itch again?. And then before you know it you've spent such an uncomfortable amount of money on skins that you don't want to quit the game for fear of feeling like you've wasted your money and time (spoiler: you have). Every now and then someone in our friend group will quit League and improve their life. I can only hope it's me next.

[@jakobhedman836]

This

[@drthvdr2802]

This doesn't have anything to do with league, it's an irl problem. The scary thing is that you don't even seem to realize what's wrong. Most people who start the game learn the most about the game towards the beginning and then falter off. It's not a problem with the game, it's a problem with you not being dedicated enough to learn or get better (lazy). If you are queueing ranked and only playing to win, no shit you are going to have a toxic relationship with the game. Play the game to improve, mute all, communicate with pings, and don't focus on LP and you will climb.

[@Samuel-wl4fw]

As others have said, its you who have an unhealthy obsession not the game. Game is great for causual playing with friends. Who cares about some skin money, dont spend money you dont want to lose.

[@STFwrinkle]

Just here to add on that this is a you problem, not a league problem.

[@weedblaster2125]

I'm just describing the way Riot Games keeps you logging onto their game, why mad? I thought this was all common knowledge for years. Sorry you don't realise it, I guess? "Scary" I never said anything about playing Ranked/Solo, either. In fact I only ever play normal games with friends for hours on end each night. But I gues I should just not focus on LP :/

[@MrDunno790]

Little do you know after 20 games of league you suddenly know every champion.

[@Bigboibambi]

Started my league journey 10 years ago and I’ve had some of my best memories playing this game. It’s the type of game where if I’m bored I know that I always got league, sort of like a comfort game :) Don’t get me wrong, I still hate it though…

[@RinMichiri]

bro it took me TWO THIRDS OF THE VIDEO TO REALISE HE WAS HOLDING A BICYCLE PUMP I'M DONE💀

[@monikacamile7283]

Last season I ended with 800+ normal games and like 20 ranked 🙂

[@warlord-83]

this guy is giving all of the reasons to not play and not me watching this laughing knowing so well this will be my new obsession

[@Matthew_A_N]

Sooo, no?

[@supportgap7748]

What i, as a noob in league, find realy annoying is; if you are a little worse than your opponent or make a mistake and die it just gets harder and harder for you to play the game. For example in valorant you cant snowball as much as in league, if you die you buy a new weapon next round and try again. In league you die twice and cant have any fun for the next 30 minutes.

[@BNasty088]

Short answer: no Long answer: also no

[@batteries_sold_seperately]

I opened up my lol account and all the grass within 1 mile vaporized and I'm locked in the basement

[@Drakevfx]

He really said "make sure to/mute all" that got me hard lol

[@roy-batty]

Duuude... If you get tilted and upset? Just... Like... Don't? Ya know? Ya know. And if you lose? Just win next time. You'll lose about half of your games anyway. Eventually you'll lose your life at one point. What's one more loss in a computer game? Yeah. And hit that pipe. Hard.

[@Anson2023]

I mean, what are you holding there that's not even a microphone 😂😂

[@ChrisTitusTech]

Great video... but I have to ask, Why are you holding some sort of what looks like a wand to your mouth when the shure SM7b is right there? It's driving me nuts! lol.

[@bryanduan4222]

Lmao how bad was that sona at 2:45

[@darioflores1081]

ive started playing with locked screen, 137 levels later im still going strong as a locked screen andy

[@herculesmwp7983]

I literally deleted this game when I was a brand new player and had 2 people literally camping like on cooldown coming out of bushes to kill me. Did it 3 times in a row. I literally turned it off and had not considered it again. With that being said I’m thinking about giving it another shot.

[@paradoxgaming5182]

I started playing league of legends in 2022, and it's still a definately insane game. I would definately reccommend it, especially if you have friends that are willing to play it with you. League is a lot more fun with the comedy that they add (also in the season 12 theres like 20 champs that are actually meta, you really don't, also you learn as you play!)

[@KyoAndCie]

lol the Kartus beam light above my head situation happen to me, i was like "ho cool what is that" boom dead xD

[@flameofmage1099]

As someone who has never seen your face before, you jumpscared me

[@lukasknight3439]

It will be fun at first. A lot of fun. But, then you will learn.

[@DJ-pp4mt]

I'm pretty glad I watched this. I wanna gonna try it out, but yeah this was absolutely eye opening

[@teemospassport3941]

5:37 i just love how yone teemer and heimer are in the clip when you referred to how league brings out the worst of people 🤣

[@dragonballsbest4241]

4:20 I’ve been playing since 2015 and I still use Lock Screen

[@aaronm8143]

Started wild rift due to not having a proper PC. Glad I picked it up. Having a blast with it as someone who doesn’t really game. Now I want to get a proper PC lol

[@EvadeScar]

Never before had a worse time trying to learn a game for the first time. Absolutely would not recommend. I’ll just stick to apex and siege which actually have a reasonable amount of characters to learn

[@horsethehorse3969]

I remember back in the day when I used Teleport and Heal as my main summoner spells. Cause I always think suddenly appearing a short distance away is dumb as heck.

[@maria_1199]

Well, it’s almost December 2022 and i got into league 3 weeks ago and I’m addicted. I suck but I love it!

[@WaKaRaNeR]

As a former chall player and current d1/master hardstuck, without watching the video, for your sanity's sake, do NOT start playing league unless you're planning to play only normals/arams with friends for funsies. Don't even touch SoloQ, I wish I didn't make that mistake 10 years ago...

[@animorte9790]

Actually I recovered my level 30 account from 7 years ago. I discovered that I gain A LOT more just byt starting over. They really offer many ways to acquire more stuff than they used to. Don't be intimidated.

[@jakiulalamkhan727]

8:54 is where steve got proud.
