Thought it was well known the reddit league mods had some sort of connection to riot (even some being riot employees?)
IIRC the recruitment of new moderators has to go past Riot first
I literaly lost 2 friends because of this stupid game. May Rito games (misspelled on purpose) and their stupid game rot in hell
Same here. Both turned into gigantic assholes and ditched me because I was a lower rank than them and got fun out of playing off meta champions.
I wish 1v1 MOBAs were a thing, because the worst part about playing League, Dota, Smite, etc is the community.
As someone that used to play a lot of League, friends don't let friends play League of Legends.
There is a quite fun little pokemon MOBA on switch that could scratch that itch.
Oof. I'm in the exact opposite boat. I've made a dozen friends from playing the game. I've been playing since season 2.
They died irl?
The body cannot live without the mind.
No they became super addicted to the game.
They neglect their families and friends because of the game
I'm not sure the game can be blamed for that
Addiction, compulsion, whatever you want to call it, it's well known a lot of games have mechanics intended to keep people playing a long time, and for some it can be a serious problem. I've had friends (yes, more than one) addicted to MMOs who would play for 48+ hours literally non-stop. That's not healthy, especially if real life responsibilities and connections are being neglected for it. Skinner box mechanics can be as bad for players as loot box mechanics.
They wouldn't act like this, if this stupid game wouldn't exist. They never neglected other people, this started with them playing lol. I tried playing with them, but they kept insulting me for dying and even started a kick vote against me the last time I played with them. This game changed them and destroyed our friendship.
People with an addictive personality will find an addiction, self control must be experienced and learned, and you can't blame a game for this.
this is utterly bullshit. Everybody can get addicted to something, this has nothing to do with the personality. The game changed them, they were never like this.
You have a very biased and immature mindset towards the situation tbh and I can't really waste any more time on this, but blaming the game for your friends not being nice to you anymore is just not realistic
it seems more like you are biased towards the game because you are defending it with false claims and calling me immature. An addiction can influence the personality but the personality cannot influence if a person developes one. Everybody is able to be addicted, some people are genetically just more likely to.
I would love a nice league community in the fediverse, but I'm not that much of a hardcore League nerd, so I'll guess I'll wait until one finally takes off.
Someone who is sponsored by an account seller, i.o.w. who doesn't mind breaking ToS but then seems to complain about others scripting, i.e. breaking ToS might not be the most unbiased and reliable source.
