As long as hatred still exists in the heart of men, league shall thrive.

[wigmanmania]

If League ever dies, it'll likely be because its ancient code will make it incompatible with a future version of Windows

[phillipmarathakis]

I wonder why LoL hasn't made a beginners LoL mode where there's only like 40 champs, and players can move into the full game when they feel comfortable

[pdezs]

I realized I was more interested in the Runeterra universe, rather than in league, so I switched to Legends of Runeterra. Best decision ever

Dear Riot: Please just make the tutorial better... this game is just too hard sometimes.

[thoreamoechi]

I accidentally quited LoL bc my computer decided to just randomly not work with the game anymore and i miss the game but honestly, my mental health never been better. I was actually addicted to this game and that is sad.

[bradleymartinez]

I actually just got into the game and one thing I noticed is that the game is REALLY hard and unique. The mechanics are rough and more experienced players will just quit as soon as they know I'm new. Most people have been playing so long they can't even help me learn because everything is "common sense" and all the vocabulary is in acronyms no one wants to explain. It's really fun but the majority of the player base actively dislikes new players and it's gonna be rough until I can play minimum silver or gold level

League is hard to learn, but as someone who learned League in the last few years, it wasn't impossible. Because of the SBMM, I only played against irons and bronze players when I was new so it didn't take long for me to catch up to those guys. I just took things one step at a time and eventually learned what everything does.

[noahtemple]

At some point, they need to add some sort of Lite game mode. Like, limited items and champions, so that new players can learn the ropes in a more controlled environment.

Hey soo I didn't realize how fast I was talking in this until everything was put together so mb LOL, I'll work on slowing down for the next vid but it may help to put it on .95x or .9 speed this time around. Sorry lol 💀

[askingwhyisfree]

League is okay. The problem is the old players who destroy legitimate new player experience. They're the ones who are very toxic. It's like that one teacher that gets angry at every student because he says "it's so simple" while he has a 20 year experience on the subject while the students just has 1 week.

[ChaseTrent]

I actually just got into League in April. And yeah, it was crazy hard to get into. I was at work watching guides and trying to find any bit of information I could to try to figure out what in the world was going on. I'm still learning, of course, and the game is just so deep that there will always be tons of things to study. I'm still not even sure which role I want to play the most. The commitment required to get into the game is significantly higher than any other game that I've played, by a ton. But, it's fun. It feels bad to lose, but winning is pretty nice. I come from a background of competitive fighting games so I'm very aware of what it's like losing to get better, but to play a 46 minute game and losing feels much more like Age of Empires.

I don't really know where I was going with this. I guess just that as a new player, the game is fun. I've seen a lot of people hate on the game, which I get. Once you play a game a ton, it brings out very mixed emotions. But League is just a genuinely fun game. P.S. I play with chat turned off so

I think what helped League's longevity is that you don't have to buy a new game every year to stay in a relevant lobby/playing with equally skilled player.

[User-data-unknown]

I’ve played with 2 people who bought the $500 Ahri skin in the same day 😮

[johnex]

I totally see myself at 70 still playing this game

[bosscoolaid]

The ever first game I’ve ever played of league was in a bot game and I kid you naught…

There was a yasuo who told me “do I have nuts on my forehead?” When I was just learning.

Then I knew what I was getting myself into

[Strict]

I think what made me learn league was because you can see yourself improve. When I was learning I was an otp gnar top, and I would see myself improve every time I played and that gave me a dopamine rush, I think that keeps players coming in. It’s hard but so rewarding in a sick twisted way because I never have raged harder than I do at this game.

[-Rhio]

Playing league for over 8 years now and my catch is that it finally rewards me for learning everything. I sit on 14k ish hours, peaked grandmaster and the game is quite fun since there are not that many that can ruin the fun. I don't play ranked until the last month of the season mostly focusing on aram arena normals with friends and thats what makes League so much fun. Playing with friends while also being better than others. It feels like such a good payout after all that time invested (wasted) to finallly be able to enjoy 9/10 Games i play.

[TheRagheb]

True, Faker leaving league as a pro play will hurt them a lot. I started playing league in 2019, and I knew who he was before playing. I hope that after he retires he remains in the scene like the coach of T1. For me I'm still palying thanks to Esports. The game it's good, it's fun with friends, but the community, and League players are among the dubmest people alive. It's proplay that kept the league fire in me, I see them do an amazing play, and I want to do it. I learned so much from thousands of hours of watching esports. I even learned hard champs without playing them from watching, like Azir and Aphelios.

[amazingagent]

I mean to be honest, the most fun i had in league was that sweet spot between the first 2 months to a year, where i was still learning how each champion worked

Loading into a game and seeing a champion ive never seen before was so much fun, and its even how i finally picked a main

At one point, i thought i had seen every champion, and then I saw neeko on the loading screen. I then decided to buy her and play her next game, and instantly fell in love.

I think if league can get people over the first month barrier, and keep players out of ranked for a bit, the game will have a lot more interest
