Professional League of Legends has now been a thing for over a decade.
And as the years go on it seems more regulations are made for players to follow. Granted, I'd follow any silly rule if I was being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to play a video game.
Today we take a look at some of the interesting rules you didn't know pro players have to follow!

[@larsfrost3643]

if the place they have a match on have stairs or wires around somewhere or something crocks could catch on and make one fall then i dont want to be sued over a person wearing crocks, if a place was flat grounded or just like at home as used to then i wouldnt mind the players have their crocks on cause then it would be if they fall, it isnt on me cause they know its their own fault of fall to floor, some few players gets angry at losing and stands up to either walk around and relief or go beserk, some winners does the same thing but with a agressive smile lmao, i dont know, im trying to use my brain power here but seems like im guessing here

[@tarksurmani6335]

Yeah this seems like some general stage safety protocol. It's the same with stairs and platforms that if they are 1m or higher they must have railings. Because someone once upon a time slipped and sued. But from my experience (working in theatre) I can tell you, that people don't know how to walk on stage generally, most of people are dragging their feet, so if you have carpet on some parts or some wires, then they are gonna trip.

[@w.selfless6022]

I mean it might be a safety measure for example i cant go to work unless i have proper shows that has womething on the back and completely supports my foot or wear clothes that are too tight for example even tho now we have work clothes that get paid by the employers and also if we have bad eyesight we need to have glasses or contacts that actually help ur eyesight

I think the problem for the club is that a sleep-deprived athlete is unable to perform, train and improve on the same level as on with a healthy sleeping schedule.

[@noxvardeen6978]

Surrender: Makes sense. Its sportsmanship to let the enemy win fully and to the end. Its like an etiquette; like how there is this unwritten rule in ARAM to wait one last respawn or let the minions finish the nexus. Crocs: They are still to be seen as athletes by extent, so wanting them to look like it makes sense. I wonder why they can go barefoot though; Id understand forcing closed shoes due to safety (sharp objects on stage; splinters and tiny glass shards e.g.; but also in case of emergency, they might be held liable if their athlete trips over due to open shoe while running (if there is a fire e.g.)) Banning supports: All five mostly played and their mains were supports. It was a legitimate ban; they literally banned their picks. Just as you‘d ban Yasuo if you know the enemy has a Yas one-trick… There was no insult there :/

Unfortunately Vivian's gaming's situation isn't as reported in most cases. It is a lot more nuanced. To summarise; when vivictus Gaming got promoted into the league the owner dumped their roster and filled it with players who we far inferior than the original roster. 4 out of the 5 new players on the roster were infact support mains. With Janna, Lulu and Soraka being their most played. When they played in the league they proceeded to get stomped by every team and fountain dived for good measure. The other teams felt disrespected because it was a waste of time playing them and not a team worthy of the competition.

[@emi9643]

yeah i never understood the backlash to the support bans. the team was literally stacked with players that play those champions. the other things were indeed unsportsmanlike (fountain diving, delaying game) so i can understand that. but targeted bans to your teams most played champs? thats just strategy, it only looked bad because the team was designed around "all girls" and they chose to throw a bunch of support players into it

The gaming addiction stuff always makes me laugh, because most people saying it are dumb (including a lot of gamers). OBVIOUSLY you can be addicted to games. But there’s situations where playing a ton is justified. My Jr year I had a lot of pretty severe surgeries that melts me at home on bed rest. So I’d do all my homework in like an hour in the morning, then go grind league from my bed set up. I was probably clocking in 12 hours a day semi-frequently. But that didn’t mean I was addicted. I just didn’t have many options. Even today I still play a lot, especially on week nights. I work full time and take care of a sick relative, so I can’t be going out every night. So I play games. But if playing video games all the time prevented me from doing my job, maintaining relationships, or taking care of my family duties that’d be a problem. It’s not that complicated

I usually dislike toxicity, however about the football team agent, the one that thinks playing games over 1 hour per day is "sickness": I think its absolutely insane to watch how two groups of people are running around, kicking a soft ball around a rectangular stage, trying to kick the ball inside a net on the opposite side of the field. I have absolutely nothing against the sport itself, however if you look at the behavior of some of the fans because of this sport, there is clearly something wrong. Also, as the agent of the team, they should be the one who cares about the physical and mental health of the team members the most, after all better overall health means higher morale, higher performance, and therefore: higher chance to win. Since this... person has such a low intelligence that they can't even follow moving images for over an hour, for example a videogame, how did they even become the agent of a professional team?! Who in their right mind would put an idiot at such position??? This person should just quit, leave, and never return!

Haven't watched the video yet, but, the only time i have seen a surrender in Pro Esports was Team WE(China) vs TSM in the IEM Katowice World Championship finals, i believe back in 2015. TSM had won game 1 and 2 and were destroying them in game 3. WE surrendered after losing the final team fight, giving TSM and NA their first ever international championship. Funny people talk about TSM being shit internationaly but they are the only NA team with a international tittle, and have since added a 2nd with their rift rivals win over UOL (another 3-0), back in 2017.

No surrender makes more sense in games where players can be substituted. Loosing hard usually allows weaker players a chance on the "pitch" since coaches dont want to risk injuring their better players. That way it is still highly watchable and spectators can "root for the underdog".

Yes, video games can be a problem if consumed too much, just like alcohol (my uncle), cigars(my friend), drugs (my good friend, R.I.P.......) and sex (my uncle), but people villianizing games like that are nearsighted, very nearsighted in my nearsighted eyes.

Surrender 2

[@phantom3969]

for the last guy, considering he's an athlete, he is being paid to be in top form, and staying up to 4AM can't be healthy those guys are also probably on diets and stuff, so i kinda get it but it shouldn't be an issue as long as he games during the day

[@fraserblakedayman]

imagine thinking anything more than an hour a day is equivalent to an addiction. this book im really enjoying? nah vetter stop reading it i might become addicted to reading

[@definitelyapple3156]

skip to 1:26 for the end of ad :)

[@TheAmarShow]

typical nico banger 💯

Essentially almost all of these come down to "professional conduct". If you're in front of an audience, you are in a position to be viewed as a role model. Especially if you do so repeatedly. Now of course the exact nature of that position influences how much professional conduct is expected of you. The regular sports one, if he streamed his dota games then yeah, if a professional athlete can stay up to 4am gaming, why shouldn't you? This already applies if your display name is public knowledge as well, though you likely can get away with a good bit more in that case when never streaming. Though calling gaming for over an hour a day addiction is pretty much the same as calling reading non-educational books for over an hour an addiction. If that also is their stance then it's a good thing they didn't go into a health profession (though pr/manager of a sports team is already dangerously close to those professions). Crocs.. yeah likely a combination of safety and professional conduct, also explicitly stated in what looks to be either a contract or adjacent code of conduct, which likely was part of that contract, so they signed off on that when they went professional. Solo queue stuff, duh they essentially promote toxicity there. as for the light trolling against the female team, unfortunately same thing. The general public is repeatedly shown to not understand, that what boils down to banter with their colleagues, isn't ok to replicate to complete strangers. Surrender is.. ok for streaming I'd say, but public matches are a performance and a surrender is just not ok there, for the reasons stated in the video. Think like, during the olympics someone is going "I'm not gonna beat that score so I'll dip out, see ya"

[@dawsonrudis4642]

I would’ve gone barefoot if they told me no crocs

[@brotherzael7986]

What if the whole team just decides to not pay the fine? Are they gonna boot a whole pro team out? Probably not, i would just not pay the fines lmao.

[@Redman147]

Honest the surrender thing is stupid. The International in Dota is HUGE and they still do GG in world championship play to end games early when they know they've lost. I think this is just RIOT being RIOT. They've gotta make things hard for no reason.

[@Katalmach]

1:51 No excuses should be made for this, it's an incredibly toxic policy.

[@lissybug9995]

ive played a few league games that have gone over an hour sooo.... yea im not sick im fine (mostly)

[@RazorWinter]

"Nobody is interested in your mental or health issues". A boring dystopia we live in.

[@stanimirborov3765]

good i cant wait for new patches when they remove surrender i nranked entirely. i heard they r reworking the 15min surrender so i think now even if u decline as just one person after 20, ur teamwont be able to surrender anymore.. im so glad!! i dont have to play with a premade anymore to make sure 100% no surrenders

[@zeke.4980]

Yay you posted

[@NicolaiLol]

FInally!

[@Wyrdangus]

Lmao. A single hour of playtime is enough to get… one MAYBE two games of DoTA in. Maybe if you’re lucky (or unlucky, depending on which team you’re on) you might be able to get 3 but stomps like that are no fun

[@C0DW1TH5ANDEL5]

Or if even very unlucky you get stuck for 6 hours

[@mrmeow2297]

I wish they could. Then my brain dead team mates on EUW wouldn't drag out unnecessary, one-sided games. ADC is 0/10, the mid liner has 400 ping just f****ing surrender. Jesus Christ. I hate this game.

[@gummball212]

If you hate this game or dont want to tryhard why even start a ranked. You just make it worse for 4 people wirh this mwntqlkty

[@aldandurp.8398]

think the problem for the club is that a sleep-deprived athlete is unable to perform, train and improve on the same level as on with a healthy sleeping schedule. They don't have a problem with his gaming, they have a problem with his habits affecting his performance. The agent is still an ass tho

[@alikamali2904]

first time i hear a youtuber says if u cant subscribe i understand ! that was very nice

[@BimseDK]

bro i would be dead if 1 hour is being sick

[@kiko5518]

7:44 that’s actually fked 😭

[@Jdogrey1]

So Riot can ask people not to play other games and everyone just accepts it, but when this happens with Genshin Impact official content creators, everyone has a freakout...

[@merryglowround]

„They’ve paid a ton of money for you, nobody is interested in your mental or health issues“ this just straight up shouldn’t be legal

[@johnmcconnell7052]

Hmm so they don't do a thing about win trading or the bot issue and the toxicity issue we knew was never going to be solved.

[@Sir_Mel004]

I played genshin, codm and lol for over 12 hours every weekend... So i think i have health issues if we follow what they say...

[@matthewpower3230]

We’re they in sport mode?

[@Elias-pu4sm]

9:20 damn guys i might have serveral terminal illnesses

[@nobu5109]

Very epic video buddy much brown munde

[@Alfaomegabravo]

It's a gaming addiction... I mean the guy clearly has a football addiction. Football is still just a game people pay money to watch, its just that it has had a lot more time to grow.

[@koda7666]

Oh god I've caught a cold last day, now I'm sneezing all the time. Look what games did to me, I'm sick because of them!

[@imoutochan5954]

ROX doing a lil amount of trolling
