And its niche content. For every known Streamer there are 10 that have just a few hundred subscribers. And for every one of those, there are ten who didnt make it at all. I could tell 15 streamers (mainly not na, as i dont come from there) spot-on although i usually don't watch streams. But if i were asked to name a KZbinr who makes videos about the LoL - history, what was changed and how the game developed since then, i would be able to name one. And guess whom. And a lot of Streamers/KZbinrs dont come even close to this amazing video quality. P.S. personally i like most that i dont need to actually watch the video and listening is enough to comprehend it. Yes, with watching the background cinematic it is awesome aswell. But i don't need it so much. But if i watch a streamhighlight, i need to see the screen, everything is loud and so on. Watch a streamhighlight during cooking. You cant concentrate on neither. Watch one of your videos during cooking. And you can concentrate on both simultaneosly. I could tell more pros of your videos, but firstly, this comment is already too long, and secondly, i dont have time for that right now.

You can see the hard work you put into each and every video and these commentary style videos stand out in comparison to the comedic, informative, click bait or just plain repetitive style others use even though you have hints and bits of all the good things other streamers and youtubers have without the bad parts. It also isnt just a bunch of people watching someone else play a video game. It's historic, accurate, and enjoyable content with out the same repetitive dribble others use (not saying they are bad streamers/youtubers but a lot of the time it's just "heres me playing x champion doing x things until x team wins" types of videos) additionally your riven tutorials are pretry thorough and impressive xD In conclusion, Exil > all

But IDK, maybe I am weird, but I feel like it is better to buy chromas than to play a game, for which you have to write messages to like 30 guys to finally get a team. The money isn't any big problem. The big problem of Clash is the waste of time. Well, If I was the guy who gets invite and just play it, it could be fun. But I was always the head of a team, also in one online tournament I was in. I just feel like the time is not worth it. And I got sick of it. The worst is when your teammate leaves just few minutes before Clash starts. IDK, if I'll get invited, I can try it sometimes. But never trying to find my team again. But still I feel weird to spent BE for "just a different gamemode". Maybe I will change my opinion sometimes.

But as ESL Gather came into the play .. where Random ppl build 5 man Teams in for an Instant Ranked Clash ( basicly Solo q in LoL ) things got rly shit rly fast .. and thats know exactly what we have in League again. The Ranked System .. MMR thing simply doesn´t work for Solo Q. There is no personal rating on your Performance in the Game. So you basicly are always dependent on your Teammates and THEY basicly decide espacily in the State of League if you climb or not. If i have en Inter or griefer or AFK in my Team .. basicly my Game is lost .. Its rly not that often anymore that you lose a game based on a Teamfight or the Enemy made a better move. Its about who has the less retarded Guys in the Team it feels .. sad but true.

"Maybe SoloQ sucks because it's not fun to play by yourself" While there's truth to this, there's a vast difference between playing with people who are trying to win but don't communicate as much as a 5-man premade would, and playing with people who are either not trying to win or are actively trying to lose. SoloQ would be vastly improved if people who griefed were punished for their actions, and this... while I assume not intended, feels like a way of sweeping that necessary change under the rug. Otherwise, great video. And props to MikeYeung for continuing his grind. I truly hope he makes it back and finds what he's worked so hard for.

[@striker17771]

The biggest mistake Riot made was removing 5v5 Ranked Team, just to replace it with Flex queue. I miss having a real team with friends/teammates, with a shared rank. It made the games matter so much more and way more fun. You truly get the feeling of, this is the way the game was meant to be played. Flex queue does not even come close to that feeling. Clash does bring back a lot of that back and is fun to play, but it lacks that good sense of progression and can only be played rarely...

[@123hattan]

I think the issue was that a full team got queued against another team which has a way higher elo.

[@daleryanaldover6545]

yep, going 5 man on flex will only get your team punished hard when faced with higher elo enemies. But hilariously fun (or boring) when you face lower elo enemy team.

[@DanteCrowlley]

@@Exil22 *Also I think Rito clearly has a problem of biases when it comes to solo carry, I've been talkin about this in other videos, but Rito CLEARLY has the solo carries and the shall not solo carry, in my really big text example, I'll make a resume here ofc, I said how insanelly strong solo caries can destroy games in examples as Fiora, Jax, Pyke, Karthus, Yasuo, Qyanna, Diana, Veigar etc are way too busted compared to marksmen, when u think about carry if insta think about AD Carry as marksmen, but the real AD Carries aren't marksmen, in fact most of the AD Carries are top laners or other melee champions, I may be a low elo noob but I'm an ADC main and I'm always mad, since I've started in 2k18 playing everything till I came to play ADC as well, how the half of Season 8 the carry potencial of marksmen was gone, totally gone and even now 2 years later the carry potencial is still missing, just 'cuz MF is strong and Aphelios is broken dosen't mean the marksmen are OP or anything, they'r just 2 champs strong in the weakest role, while the whole itself is weaker every patch, at least now with the base health buff it may change a bit the snowball problem, since if ur mid can't roam or snowball u have 90% the enemy mid lane will stomp ur bot lane since is a 3v2 and better support wins, also we have the hyper carry in jungle as Master Yi and top laners as Yorick, Fiora and Jax, anyone besides a marksmen can hard snowball a game and basically solo carry, u could say Kog Maw is good as solo carry, but lets remember how ridicously weak is early mid game, same goes on Vayne, and their strength appears at late game, when basically the game is already lost, the enemy carries will be almost or full build, they can either split or win a tf alone, like Jax, and u'll just watch as ur team dies or can't protect u, marksmen requires itens, mechanics and positioning in tf, while other carries mostly need to position in a way to get u off guard and one shot u, then if ur team has no other carry the game is gone, ur team won't protect u, won't ward, u'll have to position really safe in tfs to find a chance to deal damage while looking for burst dangers, also to finish my statement, lets take a look the HUGE diff between AP Carries and ADCs (marksmen) items and scalling, with 1300 95% of the mages has mana, AP, cooldown with the first item path while ADCs with the same 1300 has ONLY 40+ AD and nothing else, also lets stick at the kit diff, skill cap and fighting style, a mage can one shot or immobilize any ADC if they get in range even when fed, is pretty clear for me who are the real carries, sorry for the long text*

[@ZanZerejin]

With that mentality you will lose a lot. God knows how many games I'v lost this season due to people picking champs that either doesn't work in our comp, into the enemy comp or that the player him/herself doesn't know how to utilise the chosen champ. Sometimes you have to bite the sour apple and suck it up for the team if you want to win. Even soloQ is play as a team.

One of the best things in this game is having a teammatte that knows what your team can do together, which doesn't happen that oftem nowdays, specially in low elo, because league's average player base suck at the game, sometimes it doesn't matter how good you're playing, you still lose because your team is not on the same page, i hate this 1v9 menatily that the game finds itself right now.

[@sillyredsheep2421]

Totally agree. I think a lot of it has to do with the massive focus from some content creators on "USE THIS CHAMP IN SEASON X TO SOLO CARRY YOUR WAY TO CHALLENGER" when the focus should be on becoming a better team player. Everyone thinks they HAVE to 1v9 or else they lose, when in reality it's sometimes better to help someone else carry.

@@sillyredsheep2421 This is the second biggest reason as to why I am a dyed-in-the-wool support player. Not a 'support' player like people who pick brand/lux/vel'koz/other cheese champs.

Y ou can bet your ass I'm likely gonna pick Leona, Alistar, Thresh or Nautilus. Plenty of CC but not great sustain? Soraka/Sona/Nami. Need crazy peel? Braum, Janna, Lulu.

@Baxi Tabaxi Okay. Let's try this analogy again. Is someone who played a sport in college qualified to coach children, or can only professional athletes coach children? Anything a chally can teach someone in gold that a diamond can't will go over the gold's head. So a mid diamond has the same value to someone in gold as a challenger player does, just like having a professional athlete coach your little league team should yield similar results to someone who only played college ball because that extra knowledge and experience isn't relevant for a child.

But i can tell you the problem you have with this kids will go away as higher you climb but the game still has somewhat the same problem. In g2 to low plat range you have a smurf fiesta. Everyone whos low dia/mid dia plays on his smurf acc on g2 to low plat because they are hardstuck diamonds. They realize they wont get higher than dia and want to have some fun in g2--low plat. This results in them either steamrolling over your teammates or intfeeding because they dont care and already gave up the match. You will find out that your success is completely reliant on who gets more smurfs in his team and which smurfs are actually interested in winning the game. You will realize that the outcome of the game is not in your hands because your not fairly matched with players at your skill level.

Here in SEA region (labeled as the most toxic server by many particularly in the Philippines) there is only a little percentage of those players who really care about team effort. That’s what makes me so frustrated even if you play your game the right way. Just a small mistake they’ll call you out and that will eventually ruin your game. People here are more kill oriented rather than team effort and objectives, that’s what I think why soloQ sucks (at least in our region). Climbing at least up until gold division here is already achievement because of the toxicity players bring in the game.

[@hanspeter-fs4in]

@@raffyapolinar487 you can go with mute all by default set in the settings. I use that aswell, it makes it so that you can focus on your own gameplay and mistakes instead of having to deal with toxic people. Soloq is different to comp play, this you cant change. Ill take one example: In the mid game in pro play adcs are always mid while mid laner and top laner go sidelaning. This makes it so that you have faster wave clear mid and your adc (which is the role to kill objectives) can roam to bot or top and pressure turrets after mid shove (or can faster rotate to drake/baron while securing mid prio). In Soloq below mid dia people dont even understand this basic concept and you will often see 2 playes sharing xp and gold, because one person doesnt understand the basics. As a result you have to shit on team effort to not fall behind. There are far more examples i could bring now but i guess you understand what i mean. You cant rely on your teammates because they will make you fall behind by wrong decision making if you do.

Playing by your self worked fine back before the ruin, and mastery changes. The reason why it worked is because of how the game was. The lane phases were long enough were your mistakes were not as punishing because you had the time to correct them. One of the main things people don't think about when it comes to making the matches short is mastering your champions. If the lane phase is around 10 mins it takes on avg to get a enemy tower down that does not give you match time at all to learn when you should trade, When you should back, when you go all in with the champion you picked to get good with. Back when the lane phase was 20 to 25 mins before towers start falling gave players more time to get use to what ever champion they want to master. The most important parts of mastering a champion is 1v1, or 2v2. The basic fundamentals are best learned when you can 1v1, or 2v2 in a lane. The most important things you need to learn don't come from team fights. they come from the lane phases. What happens when you shorten that time? Well you don't learn anything when 4 players come to your lane and remove the tower. The only thing that does is force the enemy players to now roam in different lanes, then it forces you to help other players rather then you getting use to your champion, and learn were your limits are. The changes Riot made hurt solo Qs ability to learn, and develop skills that are needed in order rank up. Many people complain that they hated long matches back in the day, but those long matches allowed players to get better at the game, and it helped players get better working as teams. When matches end very fast or players surrender at 15 most of the time if they don't have a lead, what did you really learn from that match? I bet players would say I learned there are to many feeders, or trolls. The issues we see in today's League of Legends comes from short matches, and the changes riot did to the ruins, and Mastery. If you don't have time to think, don't have time to see were your limits are then why would you care about anything in really in the match? Why care if the match is that short? If I don't get the time to learn, or get the time to developed what would be the point?

I have been playing League for 6 years more or less. When i started the game i didn't have the slightest idea of how to play for example i vividly remember that i couldn't even distinguish top from bot and mid i was so trash. But eventually thx to my friends i learned how to play and after four years i finally found that my calling it was support (all of them but mainly thresh, leona nami). So for a while i had so much fun i was joking around with my pals improving at my role but also playing whatever i wanted. That was my golden era. But after this it was only downhill from there. To begin with, my friends are better than me in the game because they have been playing for way longer than I have and also are very interested in searching and watching things related to the game to improve themselves. We reached a point where when we entered the game even the slightest thing was a reason for my friends to complain about the game. At times i were spending 45 minutes with my friends and the only thing they did was saying: This is broken this is busted etc etc. It was so fucking tiring imagine having an exhausting day and instead of having some fun with your friends they were just complaining ( i did use to complained as well but not nearly as much like only 1 minutes or something like that while my friends could go on for the ENTIRE GAME). My point is that while lol can be fun in my opinion nine times out ten you only have fun during the first two games at most and after that its only going downhill from there. I have more or less quit the game now and am playing anything besides that. I am thankful to lol for the fun times and its even the cause of me meeting one of my greatest friend but i really do think that most of the time it causes you actual harm. This is just my opinion. I dont even bother talking about ranked.

[@Jangyass]

I've been playing since season 2 and I always thought flex queue or team rank was more exciting and serious compared to solo queue. Some people say that "Flex queue is just for goofing around with friends and the real deal is the solo queue." But honestly, me and my friends try much harder and feel more fun playing flex. On the other hand, solo queue is just a chaos of toxicity and rage where everyone just becomes a bunch of barnacles including myself. I don't know about other regions but in my server (KR) people start fighting from pick/ban stage untill the end of the game, one or two people just intentionally ruin the game for everyone else just because something got on their nerves for one second, making it hard to keep your cool. If someone finally snaps and says one curse word to someone who's been trolling for 24hrs, they get banned while the troll keeps playing (kinda like what happened to Dunkey on his last league video before he got banned). I really loved this game when from when I started even up untill a few months ago, but nowdays I feel like I'm loosing the interest that I had for years, due to the fact that riot doesn't show much care to put an end to abusive users and the fix the lack of recognition for individual effort in solo queue. Sad 😥

[@scorchmist3657]

[@MikeJ122o]

10:04-10:42 I pretty much agree that league needs to add voice coms to solo queue. Playing Clash feels so much different than solo queue and it makes me think what the games could be like actually communicating with your teammates and working together to win. And at the end, Voyboy is right. Solo queue has many issues and Riot needs to make changes.

[@4shotswolfe140]

True

[@TheBellKeeper]

Soloque is very toxic. I would rather see text of people complaining, than hear people screaming at me through the mic. This might also introduce more toxicity for people with certian voices (kids, females), and people might complain in all chat if one of the members doesnt have a mic, bringing them to a disadvantage. Also, if they say something reportable in all chat, it's harder to moderate. Though not impossible.

[@psychoboyjack285]

you have people that are level 300 that still don't even look at the map. You have people that level 200 that build MR when their entire team is AD. You have Gold players who don't realise that the Supp role is to protect the carry. You have level 300 players that play assassin and don't focus the carries. Solo Queue it is what it is because there are people who have a single digit IQ and when someone tries to teach them something, they start flaming, griefing and intentionally feeding.

[@psyclops973]

I've been playing since season 3 and if there's one thing that I've learned throughout the years is that, paradoxically, people try a lot harder in normals than they do in ranked. In normals, you actually see people trying to make their odd picks work, or trying hard to learn a new off role. In ranked nobody gives a fuck. 90% of players seem to play ranked in an extremely casual way, and act completely oblivious to stuff happening around the map. I rarely get that impression in any other online game.

[@Endless_Blossom]

So true xD. I'm kinda happy to see someone else saying this.

[@HappyGick]

True. I basically only play normals, and some ranked games, and I see people flame more in normals than in ranked. It has always been very strange to me, honestly. I even have a harder time winning a normal game, than winning a ranked game.

[@Mark-ej2bw]

Pretty much have the same experience, my normal games are of higher quality most of the times. Then again I've been playing since season 2 and have only spammed ranked games in season 3. In normals I gets matched with diamond+ players a lot while my ranked games contain mostly plat players as I just boost my account to plat every year and then quit.

[@tonyruiz5414]

The ending of this video is 100% true. After a season of solo que i never wanted to play solo again. The game is not fun alone, but the problem with that is that this is not a good game to play with friends either. If you have watched dunkeys take on league its basically the same thing as this. The game is a bad game to play alone and is ment to be played with friends but when you play with friends you have to make sure that you dont start to flame each other. I think coms can make some major improvements to solo que but you have to remember that not everyone even wants to talk to randoms. League needs to make strides to take away this 1 man versus the world and focus the game around team play. 1 person should not be capable of single handedly carrying a game as the game then becomes a coin flip as to who gets the better carry. This is why I can't play league at the moment and have moved on to other games but i still have a place in my heart for this game as it was the first game i truly cared about

[@LucRio448]

Let's be honest, you wanna know why we like your videos? For one simple reason: I don't give a damn about your rating, you are not here to provide Top 10 Challenger Gameplay, you are here to tell us about history and stuff outside of the macthes we play. I don't care about what letter+number combination marks your rank, if you have a point and can back it up with evidence and/or coherent reasoning, you could be iron 5 and I would not care about your rank. Or in other words: It's not about who delivers the message, if the message is worth it, everythign else is secondary. If your point is valid, it's valid, no matter if you are Rank1 or Iron5, simple as that. Okay apparently you are talking about NA in specific, at least in terms of CP. Because in EU for example, there are national leagues for every state and most players start either in first or second division of these national leagues, hope to get to EU masters and usually get picked up by LEC teams due to performance at EU masters.

[@sirderik]

anyone remember heroes of the storm, it was a MOBA done by blizzard that essentially was constant team fights, and no real carry, it's most common complaint was that idiots felt like they were never able to carry there team, it was a MOBA 75% dedicated to the mantra there is no i in team, you had supports that actually had to be proactive, you had tank vs dps that actually worked, yes some stuff was broken but it faced the opposite issue to solo q lol, as it was super functional solo q but its toxicity came mostly from the nature of mobas and that last 25% i mentiond previously, simply put it, when everyone has no items and everything is built on team xp game instead of having an ego carry you will have issues with somone falling behind draging the entire team, this in my opinon is better as its a team game but the diffrence beteween lol and Hots is facinating and before you ask, Hots died cuase you could not uber carry and it didnt meets activisons greedy expectation, and also miliple fuck ups that blizzard made balance wise that screams amautres, stealth being a issue, butcher 1 v 5, stun city, overwatch take over, power creep, etc.

@@theroguearceus2869 But right now the whole meta revolves around it. No one tries to play safe, there is an allmighty counterplay meta where you are fucked when your champion get easily countered. Just looking at the best supports show you the problem. The best supporter are snowballer like Pyke, Nautilus and Pyke or permaprotecter like Soraka. Yuumi is a champion that does both: Gets you safely through laningphase and then hops on the snowballer to make him unstoppable. Nothing is methodical, nothing is new. 50% of all games are decided in champion select. Are you Darius or Sett? Congratulations, you will now win every melee matchup. Enemy ganks make it less likely, allied ganks make it more likely. You could play Yorick if you like playing him, but why would you? You will loose against most melees and every ranged carry. Of course the rules about ganks apply and you can hope that your opponent also plays suboptimal champions. Does that sound fun to you?

[@tehtayziez]

I don't think voice comms fixes anything in an age where people who wants to communicate have discord, teamspeak, etc. especially when people don't tend to talk to randoms unless its to flame in the first place. Voice comms wouldn't change peoples behavior because the issue is most players don't know how to play from behind and also don't know how or actively choose to be against getting carried by a team mate. This leads to constant, instantaneous rage and giving up within the first 5 minutes of the game because players simply don't trust other people to know what they're doing and assume the only way to win in solo queue if you are the one solo carrying from an enormous lead. Also most people who don't use voice comms, still won't be using voice comms because they either can't be bothered, don't care, or actively don't want to use it. This would lead to people instantly getting mad that the people who aren't using voice comms are causing the game to go badly. Plus has anyone ever used voice comms with randoms before? Atleast 50% of the time it just results in people playing sound boards, loud music, trolling and screaming or at the very least, they just don't use it lol.

I like winning in solo queue, it's all I care about. I duo with a friend. I have master levels of knowledge but not enough matchup play/experience. It feels like I am playing a different game than the rest 8 players. Whenever I win it feel like pointing a middle finger to the rest of the 8 players, as I propel myself ahead in LP, especially if they were mean or made big mistakes. Even though we all get the LP, it feels like each match is just me and my duo against everyone else, alone, because we can't rely on anyone to do anything. We have had games where we literally did EVERYTHING ourselves. I am bronze 1 98 LP. Don't even reply saying shit about my rank and the level of knowledge I said I have, I've been playing for 3-4 months watching LoL videos every day, playing 4-5 games a day with my duo. I started playing ranked 3 weeks ago. Back when I didn't know shit, we played ranked a little. Won 4 games, lost 14. Went back to normals to practice. Now, we play 3 ranked games a day and the rest are normals. My win rate is 45% because of those early pointless losses.
