League of Legends is genuinely great, and Wild Rift is even better! I highly recommend them.

ARAM (All Random All Mid mode) in LoL is hilarious and a great way to learn how to play

League of Legends is just DotA with all the thinking removed in the same way that Skyrim is just Morrowind with all the thinking removed.

Very fitting meme if you remember the harrasement scandal at riot a few years back.

Cmon, League isn't that bad. I'm only a little more racist and a lot gayer than I used to be

If you abbreviate League of Legends LoL, how do you abbreviate CyberPunk?

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 hours ago

Personally I type "cp77" when in convo with friends.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago

How can the game be so bad yet the things surrounding it so good?

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 8 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

The game is mechanically great.

The player base is so wretched and vile that it made me uninstall Windows so I will never be tempted again.

The porn is also good.

Every time I get the itch to play again, I go and look up the newest champion and cringe at how bad the power creep has gotten.

Ambessa is just thicc Riven, but better.

[–] SleepyPie@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You can mute the chat now. You should be extra tempted by the superior mobile version Wild Rift. The controls feel like they’re meant to be a twin stick shooter, and piloting a champ is much more satisfying that way

Haha I'm right there with you. It's like someone going "Hey, remember when you used to do heroin and hate yourself? I know you've gone to rehab and cleaned yourself up, but wanna try this new Heroin-Lite?"

[–] Mirror Giraffe@piefed.social 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The game itself is good. It's more a problem that 5 random kids are supposed to cooperate against five other random kids and many of them would be better off playing single player games where they can't blame others for their mistakes.

With that said, I feel flaming is less now than a few years ago.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

Yeah playing with organized teams is so much better than soloQ. The entire game revolves around teamwork but then they throw 5 randos together with no voice chat and it's just an incubator for frustration.

Flaming is probably less now because the game is getting kinda old and people don't take it as seriously anymore. I haven't played in several years so idk.

Riot works on their game

Then they throw money at other - actually competent - studios to work on side content

[–] hitagi@ani.social 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

There's a wave of casuals playing League of Legends again which I think is nice. Over the past years, Riot was struggling to get new players to play because of how complex MOBAs are and people getting completely stomped by smurfs. I guess the solution was Worlds and Arcane lol (and all the little new player things they added).

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't know the current status of League onboarding but as a veteran I attempted and accompanied various people throught it in the years and it's been painfully, criminally bad for the longest time. Both when there was nothing but the weekly free rotation to pick from and haveing to sink a month of grinding to get a single champ, till the more recent "we gift you a champ every 2 levels so you can actually play the game".

I think it used (still does?) to boil down to the delicate balance of:

  1. the attrition of the early grind is the easiest to monetyze

  2. the need for new players to keep the game alive

  3. the miracolous success of the game making no changes better than changing something and finding out you inadvertedly sapped the magic out of it.

Since most people haven't played DOTA 2, I'm here to inform you you have access to all the heroes from the get go

(It also has tutorial better by two orders of magnitude)
