league literally sits rent free in dotababs head
you go into a dota 2 thread and they're all just like >DOTA is SOOOO much better than league amirtie fellas frick that gam
meanwhile league threads never mention dota at all
During beta it required a (very easy to obtain) beta key which you could buy.
i want to because being able to say whatever i want instead of being censored for FRICKING EVERYTHING sounds amazing, but there so much to learn. its fricking impossible to learn everything in mobashit games and it pisses me off
Just play the game, pick a guide and get shit on. If someone shits on you particularly hard, pick their hero and do what they did next game, and see what people do against you.

after only having experience with hots and league (hated league post season 4 end) i learnt how to play dota at the start of the year. i just learnt by watching the team double dragon videos and gorgc stream. am i good at the game? no, but i know the concepts and can win some games.
Huh? Dota 2 has become censored as well. Insult words are banned and show up as *****. Plus, when you are mean (or not) to your team, they will report you for "communication abuse". You'll then be banned from talking (both write and use mic), and also get a lower behavior score which will send you to the toxic queues... where the cycle will repeat.
But, back in the days up until 2014-ish it was indeed better than League.
>but there so much to learn. its fricking impossible to learn everything in mobashit games
No shit sherlock, you'd have to hop on the moba badnwagon when it was actually new, not after 10 years of continuous meta changes and a hundred more characters in the rooster.
Fpbp but they’re both shit. It’s funny because DOTA2 has such a high skillcsp but it’s got the most subhuman morons playing it from countries like Peru
I got 9k hours in DoTA, I generally love ASShomosexualS as a genre, even liked dawngate.
LoL is an Action game with Tactical elements
DoTA is a Strategy game with Action elements.
There is room in a man's heart for both.
The man's point stands though, both player pools have a lot of trash subhumans.
League has whale protection but also has the worst moderation of any game, blizzard included.
DoTA was always less casual friendly so seeing it go the same route is sad, LoL is also bleeding player counts and this excessive moderation coping mechanism is accelerating it on both sides.
You see a paralell right here on the site with /tg/.
What used to be the best board is now easily the worst, even slower than the golden age with a post quality lower than /qa/
What happens to all niche media hobbies that are famous for being welcoming.
Overmoderation would be putting it lightly.
Draconian moderation that is >extremely< selective and overtly permissive of raiding from a certain sect.
Even the grifters that made their livlihoods parroting shit off of /tg/ have left, it's that fricking bad.
In good news, Ganker has stepped up to take the diadem of command, but /tg/ is legitimately over.
I will never forgive them for getting rid of /wst/ a fairly slow thread which showed up only on the weekends. That was the beginning of the end. I would literally take pre-/qst/ /tg/ over nu-/tg/
It's so dead that Baldurs Gate and Critical role (Ganker and Ganker subject matter) are the most active non-general threads.
More namegays than ANY board, even the actual QUEST board that REQUIRES them.
If you filter the eternal redundant generals the entire catalog fits on a page, and it's all warhammer, coomershit, or warhammer coomershit.
True
Bad players should be punished instead of "toxic" one >you said le forbidden word you are le toxic it's okay if i'm 0/20 but you can't say the hecking forbidden word
IRL i crush you fricking homosexual, i would curb stomp you in front of your crying mother you little homosexual Black person
I have played both dota and lol extensively for the past 10 years, and this is part of the reason why lol is so shit compared to dota: the players are just universally little b***h Black folk. You get your share of morons and cry babies in dota 2, of course, but playing lol just feels like playing with a bunch of children.
HoTS was the king of that >0-7 in the first 5 minutes >dude stop feeding >you're so toxic, reported and blocked >ends match 0-19 >blames my toxic whining for us losing >get silenced for toxic chat
Frick I hate people

Also in the Gorgias it's explained why punishing someone that did something wrong is good since you are freeing him of an injustice that he would have to pay for in the afterlife also you teach the spectators that what he did is wrong and what will heppen to them if they do it and since LoL don't punish them for trolling my game and reporting me who told the truth it would be my duty to at least spank those asscheeks

I threaten people with friendship for being nice to me.
All the boys down at the gym must love when you show up to give them a good tug- oh I oh that’s wow WOW OK THATS OH SO GOOD I UH UH UHHHHHH! See you tomorrow.
The league community is probably the best part of the game tbh. I love just doing my own thing top lane whilst my team goes ape shit. bot lane trannies deserve the rope.
that's cause you're bronze and people expect to do nothing and just tank later, when you actually play with people that know how to play the game you wont get away with being useless
i actually think the wow (classic) community is worse
some real nolifers there with their entire purpose being as annoying as possible to other people in a videogame, its crazy
Playing league for a decade has made me practically impervious to the psychologically demanding bullshit of real life. I don't get annoyed, I don't get mad, other people can't tire me out with their moronation. And I have Riot Games to thank for it.
this is maybe the worst game to play if you have bpd. in cs2 you can at least scream into the void. the frustration i feel when i can't get angry publicly is fricking insane.
Good.
Frick ping spam.
I'm trying to call actual MIAs from my lane and your stupid whining just cleared it from the screen.
You're legitimately ruining the game with that shit, knock it off.
how does this fricking shit keep getting worse?
how do the moronic dipshits at riot not get fired for making a meta that everyone hates, new champions that are so bad they have to get reworked, and making players leave? What do they do all day?
It puzzles me that people still unironically play this game
There are better free games
There are more skillful games
There are other games with better communities
You could pop into any other shitpost thread on Ganker and you'd be having a better time
there's a thread on reddit (lol) some boomer talking about how better it was in the older seasons, the entire forum went apeshit
it's 1984, stop the cope
MOBAs that focus on esports try to convince the players that the only reason to play is to win and not to have fun. It's seriously fricked up. Most streamers can also act toxic as frick and they get unbanned because they're streamers, and one other streamer who was constantly playing silly builds like AP Irelia in ranked (and also singlehandedly made Sion meta by playing him in atypical ways) got banned on a bunch of occasions for it. You can tilt the shit out of your opponent by spamming mocking emotes but saying one blacklisted word will get you muted instantly for the entire game. Matchmaking also tries to aim for a 50% winrate because "that's balanced" and in Normals it kinda forces you into streaks of winning and losing.
If regular League players actually wanted to win games, they'd just focus on their own performance and not trying to piss off the other 80% of the team, but then they'd climb and have to play against better players who might be better than them so they wouldn't stomp lanes like they currently do. A sad ego trip.
MOBAs are the perfect games to troll especially Dota 2 with so many heroes having friendly fire. It's way too easy for just one person to frick up the game for everyone else.
That's what happens when you ban every nice player who only uses one account for typing and leave only the people who grief and switch to one of their alt to keep grinding whenever they get a warning to wait out the timer
dota frens, how's turbo mode compared to the default mode in league of homosexuals? I played dota before they introduced talents, but having to commit 40 to 90 minutes uninterrupted is not an option for me anymore.
Why not try it yourself?
I mean, if you want to know how long the games in turbo last: it's about 15-30 minutes. And honestly the shorter the game the more it's a stomp.
>have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day
all over the tiniest shit. Someone goes mid and takes a wave of CS and they're ready to start a war.
But yeah holy shit, the balance of state of the game doesn't really matter and they could implement millions of 1984 changes and it wouldn't change anything because the matchmaking isn't fricking fair.
Same thing with overwatch 2. Game is so fun when you get a fair match but Blizzard is trying its hardest to get you matches into a loss.
DoTA sorta does, it may have worsened.
Forced50 is scientifically proven to increase times queued per player by a large margin, making your games appear more populous since the true player pools can be mixed.
The only benefit is percieved, on both ends (queue times and player variety), actual divisions in a game as big as LoL are fricking TINY and growing smaller each season, because they are mixing the lobbies.
I'm sort of a shitter in LoL, currently peaked at gold 1 (like 4kmmr).
When playing promos, I have iron players and diamond players to my left and right.
I'm not saying they are holding me back either, it's just a very uneven play experience when I'm getting triples off of irons that shouldnt be there, then getting pentad by a diamond 2 that shouldnt be there (not duod in either).
I play both, and the only thing league does well is remind me of how much better dota is. Nu-league is a much better game than early league though, it at least has some identity, before it was just scuffed dota made by 2.5k mmr shitters.
I started playing 2 weeks ago with friends and it's pretty fun, the last time I played something like this was on the Warcraft 3 hero arena maps, I don't understand why there are so many angry people here
Been playing since 2012 and never even got a warn
You guys are doing something really wrong >someone's shit at the game? take the lost and remember that guy will drop mmr and likely never be matched with you >someone's "flaming"? literally just ignore lol >someone's afk? the system will automatically punish them
What I don't understand is why even have the report function, never felt the need to report a single player
I did have many times but the first point still applies. Why care? They will drop rank if they do it repeatedly while it only happens to you once so you won't be matched ever again.
I got permabanned after getting griefed for an ungodly amount of games (plat 4 end of season) after 10+ years of not even getting a warning
My crime? Doing poorly because of that allied nunu following me and stealing every camp and explaining why to my team, only to get 4 reports at the end because it's always the jungler's fault
No appeals allowed unless you're a streamer, the griefers didn't get banned tho
Oh and when I tried to appeal it the support straight up told me I got punished because their system detected I was typing while doing poorly and implied that all I had to do was switch between two accounts to wait out the permaban timer (but only after stealing my money)
So now I have two accounts and when someone sneezes at me too loud I int without saying anything, I have yet to receive a warning so I don't even need to use the second account
If they reward toxicity and punish being nice I at least won't let the toxic morons shit in me without fighting back now 🙂
Flaming in ranked is moronic. If you flame an ally they'll get tilted and end up playing even worse. If you flame an enemy he'll be more motivated to win and/or call his team to come and shut you up.
I only type shit like gj, wp, u2, winnable, nice, etc.
Not everyone want to manipulate the feelings of people to get where they want to be, have a nice day, if you're bad i will tell you because that's the right thing to do, to explain you why you're moronic and what you need to do to stop being moronic, that way you can improve as a man because you will stop thinking that you know something that you don't know and as a player if you follow my advices, yes i punctuate my advices with some Black folk and some homosexuals, i got banned at least 50 times and i will never quit telling you why you're shit and why you're a homosexual even if you troll the game and report me
yeah everyone can still see your pings and shit if they care to, but anyone outside of your stack is unlikely to say much of value.
I mute everyone but the jungler. >t. topTHAD and offlane ALLSTAR
LoL is the worst game that you can currently play, and is still somewhat alive. You must be a certified addicted junkie to still be playing this crap. Maybe ARAMs and TT aint so bad, dunno?
Assassin players ruined another great meta again.
The last two patches and the next are supposed to revert the changes to the durability update but phreak is heading up that effort so I'm not holding my breath.
The guy thinks the map IS the territory and is famous for grossly exaggerating the value of said spreadsheets.
Only Reave has more design retractions.
Phreak is a moron with a child's job.
I started playing LoL so I would have something to do while waiting for captains mode.
Unlocked the whole cast and about 120 skins that way.
ARAM is great.
>kill a minion that was about to be killed by minions in mid lane while passing by >mid laner immediatly pings, flashes, and start inting

>Play nothing but heimer support for years >Have to convince my ADC every match that it's legitimate and I know what I'm doing >Constantly flamed and yelled at >Worlds 2022 happens >Heimer supp gets played in finals >Suddenly I'm drowning in honors
Honestly, this last year has been the most fun I've had with this game in ages.
Everyone loves me now.
Most preseason changeups leave support roles fluid.
When ADCs are too weak, supports can pick anything because they start stronger.
When ADCs are too strong, the supports can pick anything because they aren't meant to be a proportional threat.
This historically means that junglers and (if support items are good) top laners can slide into that role.
As the splits break down, they choose which way bot lane will fall and the real support meta shakes out to lulu/karma as per par.
>playerbase refuses to accept a strategy until a pro does it
Absolute worst part about LoL. So many sleeper strats shot down for years until some chingchong does it at worlds. Players getting permabanned left and right for picking anything that doesn't match MUH META even when they have the match history wins to back it up.
Urgot cull worked for almost a year.
Sej top/sup had a 60% wr for months and was bannable until "brilliant" asiatics copied the pub-strat.
It took 6 years for koreans to understand the value of double dorans, which led to them not stacking, but still took several more years (to just now) get removed.
Asians are terrible at theorycrafting.
I used to play it when I was in College, the community is just Twitch chat, they all do the various "___champ"'s, "ya'll" and they're such homosexuals they won't even call someone moronic, they use words like "dog" as an insult.
It's characters used to be shit, then got a little good, and now they're shit again, although in a different way, a Bondage vampire? Come on Lolbabs stop appealing to reddit.
Overall the game's community are morons, sad, constant copypastas, buzzwords that aren't funny and cowards who won't insult you for fear of being banned by their chink golem overlords.
'denying creeps' is redundant when trading is already a thing
turn rates are gay
trees and elevation are boring
there are just as many autistic resources in DOTA's jungle, but going in the jungle to do camps is usually cringe
Building is just as rigid/autistic (couriers and secret shops)
They're both ASShomosexualS, I don't see how one flavor is better than the other >I get ALL the heroes available to me at once!

I don't get it
When she's playing LoL she'll turn into a full blown psycho gremlin screaming profanities at the screen, when she's not playing she's the sweetest girl in the world
What's wrong with that game?
She's right about those things btw.
Next time it comes up, remind her that the Mundo vs Warwick vs Urgot monster mash didn't happen because of the dyke bullshit.
The Viktor stuff was neat though, as a fan of the character.
>She's right about those things btw
It's a stupid thing to be right about.
League as game is a terrible vehicle for narrative and the little they had was often ridiculous or weird. It's a stupid thing to get worked up over.
Remember when Warwick used to be a celestial rival of Soraka?
Yeah, much of the old lore was objectively better and had more mystery.
Shaco and Fiddle were prime examples of horror tropes slotted comfortably within an otherwise campy aesthetic.
That era of storytelling ended with Kench.
>much of the old lore was objectively better and had more mystery.
I wasn't talking about Warwick's relationship with Soraka in a positive way. It's something that was stupid back then and got dumber the moment you tried to explore it.
And that's the real problem with the old lore. Even if it's cool to watch, it gets moronic when you try to explain why Leonidas from 300 is teamed up with a Xenomorph to fight a literal god.
The idea of a magic United Nations that curb-stomps anyone attempting war and forces countries to settle their differences with a soccer match is kinda dumb, sure. But it at least tried. Now we got nothing. "Why is this dude working with the guy that literally stole his wife's soul?" "Dunno lol"

And it's better that way.
Like I said, the game is a horrible vehicle for narrative and trying to tell a story based around the gameplay does more to hamper other outlets that could actually deliver based on the character design.
The only successful instance of a game in a similar format that pulled of a story like that was TF2, and even it was far more constrained and leaned hard onto the comic absurdity of it all.
That's a damn shame.
Arcane is one of few things I'd actually recommend from League. That was legitimately one of the best series released in the past decade.

imagine this shit on repeat. The amount you waste """playing""" this trash is absurd. Do literally anything else.
I uninstalled 4 months ago when I played 7 straight games with bots on my team. I'm talking the sub 20 cs 500 champion damage after 20 minute bots. They all run toplane so by the time the enemy toplaner is done farming the bot, they are level 16 with 4 items when everyone else in the game is barely level 10.
This is why I prefer 1v1 games for my competitive fix. I'm Diamond in SF6 and every time I lose or win I know it's all me. There's no excuse to be made and nobody other than myself to blame. Team games I'm fine with but damn people can be absolutely awful sometimes. Especially French team mates. I work really well in a team but French people are untenable.
league is the only game where players are so moronic that supports have to distribute powerpoint presentations at champ select to teach them how to play with a support.
I quit playing because they upped the chat moderation to the point that my account that I've had since beta and spent over $1,000 through 12+ years was getting closer and closer to being banned. This is an account that was also high up in the honor system.
Frick them and their homosexualy ass game, LoL will never be a hugbox and they're just chasing off their own player base.
I've spent more than that on paradox dlc and probably didn't get as much playtime out of it.
I understand skins and shit, I'd be lying if I told you I didn't have a gemmed up kunkka blunderbuss called "SuperSoaker CPS2000".
I don't get why people harsh the guys keeping their favorite games moneyed.
>Launch the game for the first time in years >Go mid cuz why not >Forgotten about all the map-coverage strats >Lose my lane >Jungler says I have the brain of a moronic gerbil >Tell him "haven't played in years, good to be back" >He essentially goes afk to give me pointers and helpful info as if he didn't just call me moronic
Never change, league players.
My games have been very silent lately. Everyone seems to be getting hit by the chat auto-mod (including me, I got muted for three days and my honor dropped for calling my team "fricking dumbass kids"). It was clearly automatic since I got hit with it the moment the game ended. Is something harmless like 'dumbass' really in its filters?
You now get the result we saw to similar measures IRL, of malicious compliance and false positivity.
Very stepford feeling in most video game lobbies.
LoL is far from the worst, shooters and mmos are waaaaay more gutted.
Both of them bot the views, there was a great thread on it that devolved into shitflinging between MOBA factions about who did MORE botting.
I love both games, but I was shocked to see how heavily botted the event streams are, and how transparently.
>Dota transister, the biggest esports tournament in the world i-is b-botted b-because i-i s-said so >in two weeks League will be dea-ACK
DO NOT REDEEM LEAGUE OF LEGEND SIRS
>leagues newest champ is just troll warlord part 2
ugh, when league has unique ideas it's fun, but almost all their new Champs are 1 part of a good dota hero done poorly (Renata, Yuumi, etc.)
it's so boring man. it's like the easiest champions do the best, so what's the point in trying anything new? tahm kench has a fun kit, but there's no point in playing him instead of darius, garen, or yone. it's fricking boring. FRICKING. BORING. THIS GAME IS FRICKING TRASH. THESE DEVELOPERS NEED A MISCARRIAGE A POP
Dota 2 has been free for a while, you can stop playing the bad fisher price clone.
lmao, don't kidd yourself anon.
>lmao
>kidd
absolutely assblasted by a simple sentence
No one cares about dota bro. It's like the virgin option.
>league gets updated
>makes the game worse for no reason
>dota gets updated
>makes the game better for no reason
No one cares about dota.
and riot hasnt cared about league for the past 10 years so i guess thats something in common
Dota 2 would be better if reverted back to its 1.0 state.
Rubick was so fricking bonkers in 1.0.
Elder Titan was also still lurking in lower positions completely un-nerfed.
league literally sits rent free in dotababs head
you go into a dota 2 thread and they're all just like
>DOTA is SOOOO much better than league amirtie fellas frick that gam
meanwhile league threads never mention dota at all
That's literally what just happened, anon. Don't gaslight yourself.
DOTA2 has been always free?
During beta it required a (very easy to obtain) beta key which you could buy.
Just play the game, pick a guide and get shit on. If someone shits on you particularly hard, pick their hero and do what they did next game, and see what people do against you.
Yes it was the beta. Which morons were paying money for. Valve never charged money.
It's just a meme. Don't shoot up the school over it, autismo.
>Get proven wrong
>I was just pretending to be moronic
What a homosexual
You're trying too hard to sound cool and not mad.
i want to because being able to say whatever i want instead of being censored for FRICKING EVERYTHING sounds amazing, but there so much to learn. its fricking impossible to learn everything in mobashit games and it pisses me off
after only having experience with hots and league (hated league post season 4 end) i learnt how to play dota at the start of the year. i just learnt by watching the team double dragon videos and gorgc stream. am i good at the game? no, but i know the concepts and can win some games.
Huh? Dota 2 has become censored as well. Insult words are banned and show up as *****. Plus, when you are mean (or not) to your team, they will report you for "communication abuse". You'll then be banned from talking (both write and use mic), and also get a lower behavior score which will send you to the toxic queues... where the cycle will repeat.
But, back in the days up until 2014-ish it was indeed better than League.
>but there so much to learn. its fricking impossible to learn everything in mobashit games
No shit sherlock, you'd have to hop on the moba badnwagon when it was actually new, not after 10 years of continuous meta changes and a hundred more characters in the rooster.
>Occasionally feel the urge to play Dota instead of League
>Wait in queue for half an hour
>Quit
It wasn't always this bad. I don't understand
If you're from NA, people started quitting the server to play EU
EU has basically become a megaserver now
League is still the better game dumb dotard
Fpbp but they’re both shit. It’s funny because DOTA2 has such a high skillcsp but it’s got the most subhuman morons playing it from countries like Peru
Different game same cesspool community
I got 9k hours in DoTA, I generally love ASShomosexualS as a genre, even liked dawngate.
LoL is an Action game with Tactical elements
DoTA is a Strategy game with Action elements.
There is room in a man's heart for both.
The man's point stands though, both player pools have a lot of trash subhumans.
League has whale protection but also has the worst moderation of any game, blizzard included.
DoTA was always less casual friendly so seeing it go the same route is sad, LoL is also bleeding player counts and this excessive moderation coping mechanism is accelerating it on both sides.
You see a paralell right here on the site with /tg/.
What used to be the best board is now easily the worst, even slower than the golden age with a post quality lower than /qa/
Newfriend here, what happened to /tg/ and what was it like? Sounds like mods sperged out with overmoderation, is that true?
What happens to all niche media hobbies that are famous for being welcoming.
Overmoderation would be putting it lightly.
Draconian moderation that is >extremely< selective and overtly permissive of raiding from a certain sect.
Even the grifters that made their livlihoods parroting shit off of /tg/ have left, it's that fricking bad.
In good news, Ganker has stepped up to take the diadem of command, but /tg/ is legitimately over.
I will never forgive them for getting rid of /wst/ a fairly slow thread which showed up only on the weekends. That was the beginning of the end. I would literally take pre-/qst/ /tg/ over nu-/tg/
You seen the release window BSG3 threads?
Think an entire board of that but the mods are also actual fricking trannies.
It's so dead that Baldurs Gate and Critical role (Ganker and Ganker subject matter) are the most active non-general threads.
More namegays than ANY board, even the actual QUEST board that REQUIRES them.
If you filter the eternal redundant generals the entire catalog fits on a page, and it's all warhammer, coomershit, or warhammer coomershit.
While Dota 2 is an infinitely better game, the community is just as dogshit, anon

I know, right? Game is so fricking fun right now.
*false fun, no sane person can glean genuine entertainment out of this turd
Ok?
True
Bad players should be punished instead of "toxic" one
>you said le forbidden word you are le toxic it's okay if i'm 0/20 but you can't say the hecking forbidden word

It's a video game and you're the homosexual
>It's a video game so people are allowed to go unpunished for trolling the game but you who said the hecking F word need to be punished
I have played both dota and lol extensively for the past 10 years, and this is part of the reason why lol is so shit compared to dota: the players are just universally little b***h Black folk. You get your share of morons and cry babies in dota 2, of course, but playing lol just feels like playing with a bunch of children.
HoTS was the king of that

Not only i've got guns i also have 3 years of boxing, 1 year of judo and 1 year of full contact under my belt, yes i think i'm pretty though compared to the fat mess that you probably are that report me for toxicity
Smallest dick energy I've seen on the internet right here
Dick is 7.5'x5.5, what are you gonna found now? nothing because i'm a better man than you in every aspect of life and you're a fat insecure homosexual, now post your OP.GG so i can mog you in the virtual world too
This is why people don't like being around you. But I get the feeling you don't actually do much in reality so you don't bother anyone other than your family members and parents who are stuck with you.

Unironically have a nice day my man you're embarassing and you will never be a woman too
I'm not the other guy you were beefing with my boy. You just strike me as the bog standard 20 something year old constantly begging for external validation to feel like he's worth anything at all. I could walk down to the highschool two blocks away and find 30 kids just like you in a minute. You're not special brother.
And you strike me as a man wearing dress, i rather be your projection of myself than my projection of yourself, homosexual
Brutal
>Y-You're just like the others
>Brutal
Yeah i think my boy called his discord troony friends to upboat his post on 4chin
You need to take a break from the internet.
And you need to man up accept that you will never be a woman and start working out, yes i know that you're a genetic waste that probably can't get his dick wet but me and your parents would rather see you as an unfortunate young man that try his best rather than a freak homosexual that wear dress
You play with star wars toys bro.
And you play god by altering his perfect creation (you), guess which one will regret what he is playing with
Jesus christ buddy, shut the frick up. 14" biceps are not noteworthy. You become more embarrassing with each reply.
>14" biceps are not noteworthy
Post yours please
Okay but what if the other guy has a knife
I have one too
So you just go around threatening people with knives for being mean to you?
Why yes i do
Fair enough. But what if they have a gun? And if you also carry a gun, then what if they have an atomic bomb? Where's your combat training now?
The most important thing is not to come out alive but to have justice and honor on your side, read Plato
Since when do you care about "justice and honor?" This whole time you've been talking about how you're gonna curbstomp people for reporting you on league. You're Thrasymicus
You know damn well that i would not curb stomp some homosexual in front of his crying mother for reporting me on LoL, i think you have autism and can't grasp when people a genuine or not, should get that checked
Idk bro you're talking about walking around with knives and guns all the time, you sound kinda paranoid. Like the kinda guy whose going to instigate a "self defense" situation over a perceived slight.
don't say moronic bullshit you don't mean then, dumb homosexual
>What do you mean you would not curb stomp some dude in front of his crying mother for reporting you and trolling your league of legend game i though you were honest
Also in the Gorgias it's explained why punishing someone that did something wrong is good since you are freeing him of an injustice that he would have to pay for in the afterlife also you teach the spectators that what he did is wrong and what will heppen to them if they do it and since LoL don't punish them for trolling my game and reporting me who told the truth it would be my duty to at least spank those asscheeks
Why do you think it's your place to go around punishing people though, like you're not the punisher. I bet you don't even have a single punisher t-shirt dude.
Because they punished him first.
It's only hard to understand when you choose to obfuscate the extremely simple premise.
Yeah but he got me good on that punisher t-shirt argument, i must confess that i do not own one yet
I own a spooky tshirt, I can understand his confusion.
Those yellow sclera probably goof with his vision.
If they punished him and punishment is a good thing then why is he even mad? Shouldn't he be thanking riot games for freeing him from the psychic prison that is LoL?
Why do you delineate the two when he is the recipient but not when you chastize him for having a spine?
You may be the only person who doesn't see the obvious here.
I only delineate the two to point out inconsistencies.
You're the only one failing to actually follow your train of thought to the station.
Every single one of your failed gotchas is a cope that results in the same consequence due to arbitrary nonsense you continually tack on to it.
You think it's coy or something but it's like watching a child attempt to do a magic trick without any of the sleight of hand.
The only one being superfluous here is you.
>and punishment is a good thing
Then why are you mad that he's punishing them back? It's a good thing, as you posit in your backpedalling hypothetical.
Never was an emotional state ascribed to any of it by anyone but you, so that's a nonexistent warrant for an idiotic claim bro.
Bro I didn't say punishment was a necessarily good thing. Not that it actually matters, because none of you can even properly define "punishment" despite loving it so much.
No you constructed your crayon-scrawled hypothetical under the assumption that punishment was good.
As you claimed, to point out an inconsistency.
This failed, because repaying good with good is logical.
You realized this when you got to that part of the post and realized you painted yourself into a corner.
So you instead said.
>"u mad tho"
You didn't even get halfway through the post before you shit on your own hasty cope.
You are way too fricking dimwitted to be trying this nonsense.
The only inconsistencies are yours, hence the comment about how you are the only one oblivious to it.
I genuinely don't understand what you're on about. The guy was mad he got punished for being toxic in a video game. Then he said "punishment is good, all the time, for any reason." Sounds contradictory if you ask me.
Yeah the whole comment chain started with you having poor reading comprehension and a terrible grasp of cause-and-effect.
Not surprised that after another botch you hit us with the stunning revelation that you are, in fact, dumb as frick.
Everything you have said up to know is demonstrably false, just go.
You need to calm down dude. Getting this assblasted over being proven wrong on the internet isn't healthy for you.
There you go projecting an emotional state over another lost argument, that you once again started.
The only other trick you have, as outlined literally minutes ago, above.
Is this like a panic response? That you recursively cycle between the two, even after having it pointed out verbatim?
Yours are not the actions or reasoning of a composed person.
A mad one, absolutely.
It's funny because I can literally say anything and you'll give me a wall of text.
>if i think and say moronic shit and i get mocked i win
This is at least, an attempt.
If I get mocked it means the other person got so mad they had to start name calling.
I like where you started with this, and where you're at now, the contrast.
From a shout to a mumble.
Tell yourself what you have to, moron.
>they had to start name calling.
My man you're the one who stopped arguing in good faith once you got proved wrong
I know you are but what am I?
I'm not mad that i got punished, i'm mad because people that should be punished are not punished
>Then he said "punishment is good, all the time, for any reason."
Punishment is good if you do something wrong, if i ever do something wrong and i am punished for it then yeah i would accept the punishment
>people that should be punished
What makes you think you know who should and shouldn't be punished?
Because i'm a dialectician
So was Misc Pot
I threaten people with friendship for being nice to me.
All the boys down at the gym must love when you show up to give them a good tug- oh I oh that’s wow WOW OK THATS OH SO GOOD I UH UH UHHHHHH! See you tomorrow.

The league community is probably the best part of the game tbh. I love just doing my own thing top lane whilst my team goes ape shit. bot lane trannies deserve the rope.
>top: morons
>mid: sweaty tryhards
>bot: trannies
what's for jg then?
troony like every role.
worthless animals because they wont gank lanes wont do objectives and still blame lanes for losing when the enemy jungler is actually doing their job
>what's for jg then?
the asylum warden trying to put out fires all over the asylum whilst the inmates smear shit all of the walls and themselves
jg should be a support role instead of the turbo grind autismo that is for low elo shitters.
>the legend of river shen
Getting blamed for everyone losing lane
that's cause you're bronze and people expect to do nothing and just tank later, when you actually play with people that know how to play the game you wont get away with being useless
I mostly play with people who have no clue wtf is going on yet I never care if they are bad
i actually think the wow (classic) community is worse
some real nolifers there with their entire purpose being as annoying as possible to other people in a videogame, its crazy
Playing league for a decade has made me practically impervious to the psychologically demanding bullshit of real life. I don't get annoyed, I don't get mad, other people can't tire me out with their moronation. And I have Riot Games to thank for it.
>He still plays
11 years too late buddy, anyway this is Sona, she's my wife!
this is maybe the worst game to play if you have bpd. in cs2 you can at least scream into the void. the frustration i feel when i can't get angry publicly is fricking insane.
You get banned in league for telling your 0/6 toplaner that he should play a bit safer.
/mute all
You can get banned for pings now
>give me more ping options
>discourage me from using them
peak riot logic, there is a reason why I only use the question mark ping
That ping was removed years ago.
Good.
Frick ping spam.
I'm trying to call actual MIAs from my lane and your stupid whining just cleared it from the screen.
You're legitimately ruining the game with that shit, knock it off.
the concept of marketability ruined all communities
bump
how does this fricking shit keep getting worse?
how do the moronic dipshits at riot not get fired for making a meta that everyone hates, new champions that are so bad they have to get reworked, and making players leave? What do they do all day?
It puzzles me that people still unironically play this game
There are better free games
There are more skillful games
There are other games with better communities
You could pop into any other shitpost thread on Ganker and you'd be having a better time
>Literally 1984 tier shit.
how so?
the only 1984 thing might be riot trying to make their fanbase forget that PvE and other game maps existed
talk to a rule-following league player for 2 seconds and you'll understand.
there's a thread on reddit (lol) some boomer talking about how better it was in the older seasons, the entire forum went apeshit
it's 1984, stop the cope
True actually
If you play league you're an animal
So glad I don't play online multiplayer garbage anymore, all of those games are just a waste of time, they're even worse than MMOs and Gachas
MOBAs that focus on esports try to convince the players that the only reason to play is to win and not to have fun. It's seriously fricked up. Most streamers can also act toxic as frick and they get unbanned because they're streamers, and one other streamer who was constantly playing silly builds like AP Irelia in ranked (and also singlehandedly made Sion meta by playing him in atypical ways) got banned on a bunch of occasions for it. You can tilt the shit out of your opponent by spamming mocking emotes but saying one blacklisted word will get you muted instantly for the entire game. Matchmaking also tries to aim for a 50% winrate because "that's balanced" and in Normals it kinda forces you into streaks of winning and losing.
If regular League players actually wanted to win games, they'd just focus on their own performance and not trying to piss off the other 80% of the team, but then they'd climb and have to play against better players who might be better than them so they wouldn't stomp lanes like they currently do. A sad ego trip.
for me its crit garen top/mid/jg/adc
L
MOBAs are the perfect games to troll especially Dota 2 with so many heroes having friendly fire. It's way too easy for just one person to frick up the game for everyone else.
That's what happens when you ban every nice player who only uses one account for typing and leave only the people who grief and switch to one of their alt to keep grinding whenever they get a warning to wait out the timer
Keep griefing*
dota frens, how's turbo mode compared to the default mode in league of homosexuals? I played dota before they introduced talents, but having to commit 40 to 90 minutes uninterrupted is not an option for me anymore.
Why not try it yourself?
I mean, if you want to know how long the games in turbo last: it's about 15-30 minutes. And honestly the shorter the game the more it's a stomp.
15 to 30 minutes is doable. I'll give it a go tonight
>have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day have a nice day

>most wienerroach human community I have ever seen
That's not X formerly Twitter
Riot games is actually insane. All they need to do is stop rigging the matchmaking.
>rigging the matchmaking
why do all mobas do this shit? pic related was really bad about it
I don't know if dots 2 does it, any anons know?
But yeah holy shit, the balance of state of the game doesn't really matter and they could implement millions of 1984 changes and it wouldn't change anything because the matchmaking isn't fricking fair.
Same thing with overwatch 2. Game is so fun when you get a fair match but Blizzard is trying its hardest to get you matches into a loss.
DoTA sorta does, it may have worsened.
Forced50 is scientifically proven to increase times queued per player by a large margin, making your games appear more populous since the true player pools can be mixed.
The only benefit is percieved, on both ends (queue times and player variety), actual divisions in a game as big as LoL are fricking TINY and growing smaller each season, because they are mixing the lobbies.
I'm sort of a shitter in LoL, currently peaked at gold 1 (like 4kmmr).
When playing promos, I have iron players and diamond players to my left and right.
I'm not saying they are holding me back either, it's just a very uneven play experience when I'm getting triples off of irons that shouldnt be there, then getting pentad by a diamond 2 that shouldnt be there (not duod in either).
>still playing asshomosexuals in the current year
I play both, and the only thing league does well is remind me of how much better dota is. Nu-league is a much better game than early league though, it at least has some identity, before it was just scuffed dota made by 2.5k mmr shitters.
I started playing 2 weeks ago with friends and it's pretty fun, the last time I played something like this was on the Warcraft 3 hero arena maps, I don't understand why there are so many angry people here
Yesterday my ADC ragequit only because I did well with my off-meta support pick. When he saw that we can win without him he started playing again.
Been playing since 2012 and never even got a warn
You guys are doing something really wrong
>someone's shit at the game? take the lost and remember that guy will drop mmr and likely never be matched with you
>someone's "flaming"? literally just ignore lol
>someone's afk? the system will automatically punish them
What I don't understand is why even have the report function, never felt the need to report a single player
>playing since 2012
>never had someone inting (literally inting, not just bad)
yeah nice bullshit
I did have many times but the first point still applies. Why care? They will drop rank if they do it repeatedly while it only happens to you once so you won't be matched ever again.
because they deserve to be punished for ruining your game? are you a cuck? just letting them get away with it is cuck behaviour
Based Hammurabi-Anon
Vengeance is a spectator sport, give them a show.
I got permabanned after getting griefed for an ungodly amount of games (plat 4 end of season) after 10+ years of not even getting a warning
My crime? Doing poorly because of that allied nunu following me and stealing every camp and explaining why to my team, only to get 4 reports at the end because it's always the jungler's fault
No appeals allowed unless you're a streamer, the griefers didn't get banned tho
Oh and when I tried to appeal it the support straight up told me I got punished because their system detected I was typing while doing poorly and implied that all I had to do was switch between two accounts to wait out the permaban timer (but only after stealing my money)
So now I have two accounts and when someone sneezes at me too loud I int without saying anything, I have yet to receive a warning so I don't even need to use the second account
If they reward toxicity and punish being nice I at least won't let the toxic morons shit in me without fighting back now 🙂
Flaming in ranked is moronic. If you flame an ally they'll get tilted and end up playing even worse. If you flame an enemy he'll be more motivated to win and/or call his team to come and shut you up.
I only type shit like gj, wp, u2, winnable, nice, etc.
Not everyone want to manipulate the feelings of people to get where they want to be, have a nice day, if you're bad i will tell you because that's the right thing to do, to explain you why you're moronic and what you need to do to stop being moronic, that way you can improve as a man because you will stop thinking that you know something that you don't know and as a player if you follow my advices, yes i punctuate my advices with some Black folk and some homosexuals, i got banned at least 50 times and i will never quit telling you why you're shit and why you're a homosexual even if you troll the game and report me
Weak mental, ngmi.
/fullmute all and I just play my game. Works like a charm.
yeah everyone can still see your pings and shit if they care to, but anyone outside of your stack is unlikely to say much of value.
I mute everyone but the jungler.
>t. topTHAD and offlane ALLSTAR
>the system will automatically punish them
you get a slap in the wrist at most. lmao
LoL is the worst game that you can currently play, and is still somewhat alive. You must be a certified addicted junkie to still be playing this crap. Maybe ARAMs and TT aint so bad, dunno?
ARAM and normal games only for me, not touching ranked ever again
The last time Ive tried normals, it was cancer. They sort of fixed the game with defense upgrade, but then removed it cause ass-trannies whined.
Assassin players ruined another great meta again.
The last two patches and the next are supposed to revert the changes to the durability update but phreak is heading up that effort so I'm not holding my breath.
The guy thinks the map IS the territory and is famous for grossly exaggerating the value of said spreadsheets.
Only Reave has more design retractions.
Phreak is a moron with a child's job.
I started playing LoL so I would have something to do while waiting for captains mode.
Unlocked the whole cast and about 120 skins that way.
ARAM is great.

>Worlds 2022 happens

>Suddenly I'm drowning in honors
Honestly, this last year has been the most fun I've had with this game in ages.
Everyone loves me now.
I've been playing lots of Twitch support recently and people are surprisingly cool about it.
Most preseason changeups leave support roles fluid.
When ADCs are too weak, supports can pick anything because they start stronger.
When ADCs are too strong, the supports can pick anything because they aren't meant to be a proportional threat.
This historically means that junglers and (if support items are good) top laners can slide into that role.
As the splits break down, they choose which way bot lane will fall and the real support meta shakes out to lulu/karma as per par.
Zac support, fiddle support, gragas support, shaco support.
>playerbase refuses to accept a strategy until a pro does it
Absolute worst part about LoL. So many sleeper strats shot down for years until some chingchong does it at worlds. Players getting permabanned left and right for picking anything that doesn't match MUH META even when they have the match history wins to back it up.
It's not the playerbase but the devs themselves who enforce the meta
Urgot cull worked for almost a year.
Sej top/sup had a 60% wr for months and was bannable until "brilliant" asiatics copied the pub-strat.
It took 6 years for koreans to understand the value of double dorans, which led to them not stacking, but still took several more years (to just now) get removed.
Asians are terrible at theorycrafting.

Used by both Dyrus and Mizkif
Fricking disgusting
I used to play it when I was in College, the community is just Twitch chat, they all do the various "___champ"'s, "ya'll" and they're such homosexuals they won't even call someone moronic, they use words like "dog" as an insult.
It's characters used to be shit, then got a little good, and now they're shit again, although in a different way, a Bondage vampire? Come on Lolbabs stop appealing to reddit.
Overall the game's community are morons, sad, constant copypastas, buzzwords that aren't funny and cowards who won't insult you for fear of being banned by their chink golem overlords.
don't care still call people niqqer.
i want to be Seraphine!
'denying creeps' is redundant when trading is already a thing
turn rates are gay
trees and elevation are boring
there are just as many autistic resources in DOTA's jungle, but going in the jungle to do camps is usually cringe

And you probably only use a handful.
>zoomer girlfriend has been playing LoL since she was like 7 years old
>Arcane is announced, excited to watch it with her because I'll never play the game myself but I want to share some of her passion for it
>she fricking detested the tvshow, says it butchered most of the characters, ruined the tone of the story, disrespected the setting, the lesbians were boring and took up too much screentime, Ekko was just Miles Morales with a skateboard and so on
>she did love Silco and his relationship with Jinx
I don't get it
When she's playing LoL she'll turn into a full blown psycho gremlin screaming profanities at the screen, when she's not playing she's the sweetest girl in the world
What's wrong with that game?
She's right about those things btw.
Next time it comes up, remind her that the Mundo vs Warwick vs Urgot monster mash didn't happen because of the dyke bullshit.
The Viktor stuff was neat though, as a fan of the character.
>She's right about those things btw
It's a stupid thing to be right about.
League as game is a terrible vehicle for narrative and the little they had was often ridiculous or weird. It's a stupid thing to get worked up over.
Remember when Warwick used to be a celestial rival of Soraka?
Yeah, much of the old lore was objectively better and had more mystery.
Shaco and Fiddle were prime examples of horror tropes slotted comfortably within an otherwise campy aesthetic.
That era of storytelling ended with Kench.
>much of the old lore was objectively better and had more mystery.
I wasn't talking about Warwick's relationship with Soraka in a positive way. It's something that was stupid back then and got dumber the moment you tried to explore it.
And that's the real problem with the old lore. Even if it's cool to watch, it gets moronic when you try to explain why Leonidas from 300 is teamed up with a Xenomorph to fight a literal god.
The idea of a magic United Nations that curb-stomps anyone attempting war and forces countries to settle their differences with a soccer match is kinda dumb, sure. But it at least tried. Now we got nothing. "Why is this dude working with the guy that literally stole his wife's soul?" "Dunno lol"
Is Jarvan IV still dead?
If the black rose shit is unchanged, and bolstered by the swain rework, he's still dead.
>Now we got nothing
And it's better that way.
Like I said, the game is a horrible vehicle for narrative and trying to tell a story based around the gameplay does more to hamper other outlets that could actually deliver based on the character design.
The only successful instance of a game in a similar format that pulled of a story like that was TF2, and even it was far more constrained and leaned hard onto the comic absurdity of it all.
>>she did love Silco and his relationship with Jinx
RUN
>Not accepting the daughterwife
EMBRACE TRADITION
That's a damn shame.
Arcane is one of few things I'd actually recommend from League. That was legitimately one of the best series released in the past decade.
>When she's playing LoL she'll turn into a full blown psycho gremlin screaming profanities at the screen, when she's not playing she's the sweetest girl in the world
>>she did love Silco and his relationship with Jinx
RUN!!!!!!
>What's wrong with that game?
There's so much to explain it wouldn't fit into one post and it affects women specially
She sounds like a catch tho
Congratulations, make a decent woman out her and give her many babies
this shit is an insane waste of time.
>2minutes queue if you are lucky
>5minutes champ select
>2 minutes loading if you are lucky.
>1.30minutes until the game begins
>8 minutes to actually being able to have fun
imagine this shit on repeat. The amount you waste """playing""" this trash is absurd. Do literally anything else.
I uninstalled 4 months ago when I played 7 straight games with bots on my team. I'm talking the sub 20 cs 500 champion damage after 20 minute bots. They all run toplane so by the time the enemy toplaner is done farming the bot, they are level 16 with 4 items when everyone else in the game is barely level 10.
This is why I prefer 1v1 games for my competitive fix. I'm Diamond in SF6 and every time I lose or win I know it's all me. There's no excuse to be made and nobody other than myself to blame. Team games I'm fine with but damn people can be absolutely awful sometimes. Especially French team mates. I work really well in a team but French people are untenable.
league is the only game where players are so moronic that supports have to distribute powerpoint presentations at champ select to teach them how to play with a support.
>Even the addicted bald midget stopped playing
Grim.
I wanted to get back into it but the game has grown to the point it's impossible unless you dedicate all of your time to it.
>League of Legends ends up outliving CShitGO and Dogturd 2

I quit playing because they upped the chat moderation to the point that my account that I've had since beta and spent over $1,000 through 12+ years was getting closer and closer to being banned. This is an account that was also high up in the honor system.
Frick them and their homosexualy ass game, LoL will never be a hugbox and they're just chasing off their own player base.
>and spent over $1,000 through 12+ years
Hahaha, you fricking moron.
That's hilarious. Get fricked, moron
Get a job, pajeet.
I spent way more on cigarettes you wiener sucker, ever hear of disposable income?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
At least I can pay the bills and don't have credit card debt, laugh all you want homosexual.
Stop dude, you're killing me.
But for real, I've got some swamp land in Florida you might be interested in.
I've spent more than that on paradox dlc and probably didn't get as much playtime out of it.
I understand skins and shit, I'd be lying if I told you I didn't have a gemmed up kunkka blunderbuss called "SuperSoaker CPS2000".
I don't get why people harsh the guys keeping their favorite games moneyed.
I don't hate this game but the new auto chat moderation is moronic.
>call enemy a "prostitute" in chat
>instantly muted for the rest of the game
I get hit constantly by the "prostitute" one.
For fricks sake, it's in the bible. Who the frick is getting offended by that?
Like 25% of the playerbase is women(female), bro
>Launch the game for the first time in years
>Go mid cuz why not
>Forgotten about all the map-coverage strats
>Lose my lane
>Jungler says I have the brain of a moronic gerbil
>Tell him "haven't played in years, good to be back"
>He essentially goes afk to give me pointers and helpful info as if he didn't just call me moronic
Never change, league players.
My games have been very silent lately. Everyone seems to be getting hit by the chat auto-mod (including me, I got muted for three days and my honor dropped for calling my team "fricking dumbass kids"). It was clearly automatic since I got hit with it the moment the game ended. Is something harmless like 'dumbass' really in its filters?
>yurilaughing.png
yes
You now get the result we saw to similar measures IRL, of malicious compliance and false positivity.
Very stepford feeling in most video game lobbies.
LoL is far from the worst, shooters and mmos are waaaaay more gutted.
>dotapajeets shilling their dead moba game on league's thread
this never ceases to make me laugh
Both of them bot the views, there was a great thread on it that devolved into shitflinging between MOBA factions about who did MORE botting.
I love both games, but I was shocked to see how heavily botted the event streams are, and how transparently.
>Dota transister, the biggest esports tournament in the world i-is b-botted b-because i-i s-said so
>in two weeks League will be dea-ACK
DO NOT REDEEM LEAGUE OF LEGEND SIRS
If you don't play both you are legit a moron in my book, and there is not cope big enough to escape that classification.
I said the word cancer and got restricted from team chat.
>want to trauma dump about his dying grandpa on leave
>get restricted for offtopic
based
imma be real with ya Anons, MOBAs are for trannies and that's a fact, Jack
That can't be true. I'm not a troony
I always mute all my team mates the moment the draft starts, simple as
Dead by Daylight has a worse community despite having only a fraction of the playerbase.
I'm tired of living on elo hell
LET ME OUT OF HERE
>Normal
boohoo
>leagues newest champ is just troll warlord part 2
ugh, when league has unique ideas it's fun, but almost all their new Champs are 1 part of a good dota hero done poorly (Renata, Yuumi, etc.)
it's so boring man. it's like the easiest champions do the best, so what's the point in trying anything new? tahm kench has a fun kit, but there's no point in playing him instead of darius, garen, or yone. it's fricking boring. FRICKING. BORING. THIS GAME IS FRICKING TRASH. THESE DEVELOPERS NEED A MISCARRIAGE A POP
