League is boring and stale, I quit 

Please subscribe to my other channel: ru-vid.com Keep connected with the community: www.discord.gg/shinshin (The other video was a much lower quality.) I might also make some sparing videos every so often on Riot products.

my take on why league sucks - it has all the stress of a real sport without the physical activity that gives you the chemical response to feel satisfied after the game. this is why you never even feel good when you win a league game, but dont feel too bad after losing a real game.

Hash is finally free. This game is a form of self harm at this point.

It's also - most of us are 30+ now, we have responsibilities - we don't have time to smash out 10-20 games/day. We don't have the time to waste 30-40 minutes per game for a nil result. We could have cooked dinner, sorted the kids out, ran errands/cleaned the house, whatever, in that time. We've outgrown the game. It's just not worth our time anymore. I mainly just play shmups now. 5/10 minutes and my ''gaming scratch'' is itched. As opposed to 12 hours of ranked cancer hell in league, just to most likely be breakeven/+20LP at the end. If i have a proper ''day off'' from life, i'll sink a few hours into an RPG with a couple beers and some pizza and cheesecake. Life's too short to play a toxic/cancerous game, or willingly put yourself through an awful environment/experience.

-Fck vanguard -Fck balance team -Fck greedy riot -Fck soyboy -Fck twitch -We know all and we are with you -Respect the choice -We want music > dmca free streams hopefully All my time that i spent in your streams i had GREAT time, i was there for music and your takes/jokes. No matter what you play if it has music over it or if the topics we talk about are interesting enough for me, i would be there. "o7" to the discord gang and mods, i did meet great people there.

"Gameplay isn't fun" section pretty much summed up why I have been barely playing league for like a year if not more now. I try playing it every now and then, and I just think "man, I'm just really not having fun right now. I am bored. I want to be doing something else"

Sub for quitting league, game has turned into a slot machine that thrives off addiction rather than enjoyment.

Hash, I'll really miss your patch videos, even when I wasn't playing League, I kept watching all your videos, and after watching them for a while I got serious and got some more game knowledge, and got to Diamond for the first time last split. I want to thank you for the content, and for the persistence in keeping playing this god-forsaken game. Hope you come back soon because I don't really like streams and I unfortunately like League and you, so yeah, but take your time and do what you want! I've met you since the RIIIIGHT THROUGH THE COUNTERSTRIKE era and I never really left, It was a fun ride and I hope we can continue It someday later.

LoL's balance really seems like it's going in circles nowadays I remember checking dota last week and they gave like 3 new abilites to every single champ in one patch

League got consumed by competitive. Lets just admit it. I miss the era of LoL parodies and animations, music videos, etc They told us it wouldn't happen, but it did.

I quit when Riot announced that they were gonna implement Vanguard in League. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but for some reason I no longer enjoyed playing like I did in 2015 or 2016 back then.

About the voyboy drama i think solid 60% of the community know that you are innocent but at this point your name became so popular, a meme so much associated with "meme culture" people just dont want to look at you in another light.

I just hate that Riot is afraid to innovate. If you look at HoTS characters and skills and compare them to LoL characters and items you see a major difference in variety. If league tried new, like REALLY out there, changes to kits and items at least it would be interesting.

I think the LoL community gets bad before streamers. The game itself has core issues that incentivizes de-humanizing everyone you interact with. It becomes obvious when everyone buys accounts, smurfs, ints, runs it down, full mutes, etc. Autofill that causes you to not care about the current game you're in, no voice chat causing you to treat everyone as mindless robots with no coordination, no punishing smurfs/alts and therefore allowing people to do whatever they want with practically no consequence, etc. The list goes on, and all of these things just tell players "Hey, don't treat your teammates like people! That just makes the game harder! Play on your own, ignore everyone else." For a multiplayer and team based game with ranked, its pretty stupid

hey shin, go be with your mom man I lost my grandma today who raised me, and I wish I spent more time with her. Go do something you won't regret and live your life the way you want it.

Funny enough, I uninstalled League almost the exact same time I stopped seeing you upload League content. In my case I simply don't want Vanguard on my computer, and I pretty much only played ARAMs for the last year anyways. I'd still watch your patch videos if you decide you want to continue doing them though, just because I like the theorycrafting and analysis aspect to League.

I was addicted to league for 5 years (till 2018) and your content help me finally quit 5-6 years ago by simply helping me confirm the problems I had with the game/why I wasn't having fun anymore. I hope you the best! (ill pop into a variety stream every now and then)

I'm pretty sure Mobas started as just regular "destroy the enemy base" multiplayer maps where you control one unit and your army was built and controlled by the computer

I think the problem with the variety channel is that most people don't know anything about the game being played and the games are usually complex. If you explained more of what's happening then it might draw in more viewers who don't know the game. Maybe you already are doing that though since I haven't watched in a while.

ive said this for the longest time, but if you truly want to nerfs jglers, roaming supports/mid lane, then the BEST way to do it is unnerf wards and allow it to where you can have as many of them as you want on the map (just increase the cost), and increase the price of boots while giving them compensation buffs. Warding in particular was the best counter to jg you could possibly have, but over time they nerfed wards hard and they buffed sweeper. not only did they buff sweeper, but they gave you items that reduced wards to just 1 tap aswell as added those idiotic plants that just reduces all wards in a giant radius to 1 tap. I get it, unlimited wards was broken when you were ahead since it basically gave you a map hack if you warded properly, but that it was balanced in the fact that it was only the support doing this, and they needed to spend nearly all of their gold to do so because free ward trinkets did not exist back then. Whats funny tho is that trinkets only exist because low elo players, including supports, refused to spend money on wards despite how good they were. (you could actually climb from warding on a supp alone compared to a enemy support not warding). But fine, i can see how they may not want ward map hacks to come back. Then ATLEAST increase the number of wards (for SUPPORT only) that you can have on the map from 3 to 6, and to balance it out each ward past 3 from the trinket costs 75-100 gold to place on the map.

I left it ever since the vanguard update, I almost wanted to play the arena update but I didn't because I honestly think they only released it this point to discourage people wanting to quit even just for a bit, like a way to make people forget about their godawful anticheat, but now with the fucking 500$ skins I can confidently say that this game is unsalvageable garbage, they could have done things a long time ago but now it's clear that money is not only the main focus, it's the only focus

Gonna miss your League content Hash, a lot more than I'd ever miss playing the game myself or even watching you stream it. Your patch videos and balance feedback were both top-notch quality and the longform, podcast style worked really well for you. Hope you find success with other content!

Don’t care about the other points, Hash called me handsome and that’s all I need to hear.

27:15 Hashinshin talks about voyboy drama

I just can't believe how League can be so unfun and yet still convince people to play it exclusively for years. Took me years to quit. I think everyone's just chasing the high of their first hypercarry game and they can't give up that distant memory. That and they're comfortably numb.

Every now and then I bingewatch a bunch of old replay compilations from like SphereStalker, League of Hashinshin etc. Your insights of the game will definitely be missed and it's a shame we're losing such a talented and intelligent contributor.

I am glad I quit league before the vanguard update. also, I remember having so much anxiety back when the drama happened, I tried backing you up on twitter so many times, but league community doesnt listen to facts. glad I left this shitty ass game and community. I actually joined WH40K universe recently, got my first ever minis and some videogames, so looking for your other channel now

I'm so fucking happy for you. I quit league like 4 years ago and never been happier.

ur so innocent actually thinking jgs go for paths and that's why they're right there at the right time every time, they don't do any of that they just sit there and wait, as long as necessary to kill u. just watch vods when u die like that

Goodnight the Super Top, hello Shinshin Variety

A question for the Americans in the chat: how does defamation works in the US? I was told that in the USA you are basically allowed to say anything about anyone, but I know for a fact that the US has defamation laws (at least in some states). Here in my country you must be very careful about what you say publicly, even if what you say is true,. Basically it is impossible to publicly accuse someone since you are allowed to do that only after the verdict of a judge. So basically everyone is silent until you know the result of the process. For example say that someone scams you, you publicly say that he is a scammer and sue him. You can actually lose the defamation process(if he was never proven to be a scammer by a judge before) and win the one related to the scam itself There are some nuances, and it is not an automatic loss in the defamation cause, but still basically everyone is strongly suggested to stay silent.

league of legends has fallen, billions must play DOTA 2

32:51 calling the voyvoy thing a "murder suicide" is so funny lol

i also think that a lot of the game being shit rn is because a lot of the people who played this game back during the “glory days” have stopped playing because they just simply grew up (me included). obligations, responsibilities, blah blah blah gets in the way, and compiled with the rest of the problems you mentioned, has turned many people away. for me personally, why the fuck would i hop on a game where 50/50 i dont get to have fun at all for 20+ minutes because of toxic people/unfun meta? i only have so much free time, unlike my younger self who seems to have infinite amounts of it. why would i want to waste the precious couple of hours i have after all my responsibilities being unhappy, when i can just hop on another game and have so much more fun being away from toxic assholes ?

I started playing league around the end of S4 and the beginning of S5, and that was the best time I had playing this game. I quit because I realized it will never go back to what it was anymore, it's just not the same game I used to love... I almost got kicked out of university because I couldn't stop playing during my first and second year. My grades, friendship, and social life suffered to the point where I cannot even recognize myself anymore. Moreover, my life was completely filled by playing league everyday for countless hours, and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about my gaming addictions. I tried to quit by uninstalling the game quite a few times before, but it was only since June of 2020 when I managed to quit completely. On the day that I quit, I was so angry and frustrated that I lost countless ranked games in a row, to the point where I almost raged after I lost a couple of meaningless ARAM games just trying to win for once. I was no longer having fun but rather playing just because couple of friends who introduced me to the game were still playing. What really hit me was the sudden realization that I've put my blood and sweat over all these years, yet I was still hard stuck gold and couldn't win a single game that day no matter how hard I tried. I had never lost my mind like that before and I knew that I just couldn't take it anymore, so I deleted the game one last time for good. Since then, I haven't touched the game and I absolutely don't have any desire to play it again. I regretted wasting six years of precious time, life, and money on this game, and it's something that I can never get back. Looking back at it, I don't miss this game at all. It was simply one of the best decisions I've made as it changed my life completely. I became a much happier person, as I found my purpose and calling in life through my church. In terms of my career, I made the decision to pursue a career in education after I quit. More importantly, just a few months after I quit I met my girlfriend, and we have been dating for over a year now. Honestly, I don't think I would have gotten a girlfriend if I continued playing. Your life will be in a much better state when you stop wasting your money and time on something that's literally a virtual reward and data. Seriously guys life is too valuable to continue to waste it on something like this…

LOL died the moment riot tried to limit true diversity in the name of diversity with the removal of niche items, abilities, and interactions throughout the years. In addition, the noob friendly features with pure RNG mechanics that were introduced in the past few years has made this game a chore.

It's great that you're doing fine and you were found a place that you enjoyed more. Lastly It's good to occasionally reflect on the past in order to plan for the future. But if this past are keep holding you back just let go and never look back.

Quitting league has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made- my mental, physically and relationship health all improved drastically. Ive started playing Hunt: Showdown for a game that still keeps me on the edge of my seat without feeling like I’m getting insulted by a gang of high schoolers every 30 minutes, switch to that it’s much healthier and the devs are much more transparent

Dont know if you ever read this hash, but i feal you: i went with a crazy ex that moved herself in my house without invitation, few weeks after starting dating, from 40km away, live half a year without helping in any miningful way (not even cooking or cleaning her own thrash), living on my back, after i also found her a job 50mts from my house, and then after i break with her, after the third time she tried to "suicide" (just a way to draw attention), i found out for thr whole time she was accusing me, behind my back, that i was beating her while drunk, or talking/dating other girls and many more shitty stuffs. The fun part was that people close to me (not relatives), believed her, not me, despite i never hurted anyone in my entire life, untill it was safe to back up me. So yes, i sympathise you and wish you can move on

We will support you whatever you decide to do Hash ❤

16:56 just say it, everyone's trying and failing to replicate the absolute meltdowns and goofy weirdness that made Tyler1 popular back in the day but without any of the actual charisma and natural talent to just make any stupid shit you make up on the spot funny. whether you love or hate t1, i feel like that's the truth. happened way back in the day with people like Yassuo trying to capture that same energy, but it's definitely spread and become far more rampant in recent years. unfortunately these people mostly tend to be toxic, unlikeable nerds.

Hey Hashinshin, I used to watch you quite a lot when I used to play League. I just wanted to say I am really glad to see you doing better and finally exploring other things. Much love brother

Honestly I'm so glad Vanguard was added to League. I already didn't enjoy the game, I already felt miserable after two matches, I already told myself I'd quit. Vanguard came in and just served as the perfect excuse for me to stop altogether.

Now you're free, thank you for everything

Even though I do also keep an eye on your variety channel I did wonder why there was no more league content. Thanks for the proper announcement.

One of the most underappreciated league content creators ever, we'll see you in variety and if things get better hopefully around here again too.

dude this is the most gigachad ive seen hashinshin look ever, well played man, glad youre okay :)

Thanks for the heads up hash. I think I feel the same way about the game, and decided to quit before vanguard. Best thing that ever happened to me, I get to play some cool games id always wanted to try, I get to watch other content because I no longer have to "keep up with every change in league" and even though I'm still trying to find that dopamine rush of winning a lost game, I'm having a blast. PS: your community is the best because we like the kind of person/streamer you are, no matter what the game is, your content will be fun to watch. So follow your heart my dude, play what you feel like playing, we'll be there with you. PSS: I'd really love a 12 hours Skarbrand campaign, I know I have a lot to learn, but it's just entertaining to get knowledge from your playthrough.

I can't believe somebody sat on the stairs for this community

2:00 My god, the big hit of nostalgia from that was quite something. I adored that map so much, I remember even doing a semi challenge run where I tried to destroy the whole base of the enemy. I completely feel you, btw. I still love League, and it has given me loads of pleasant memories and experiences, but sometimes, things just get stale and annoying, and I just completely loose my will to play for like, multiple months, sometimes even longer. (And it certainly doesn't help that my all time favorite champion - Aurelion Sol - was replaced with a less enjoyable and less balanced champion that looks and sounds exactly like him, over a year ago.... that "rework" was certainly the biggest killer of my desire to play) Arena and other fun things still have a tendency to bring me back, though right now, I've been having a weird issue where the play button in the client just.... doesn't work, and I couldn't figure out a way to fix it. So I suppose I'll be quitting for a while too xd

The only reason I am still on league is all the friends thats still not have yet quit The whole community, the game, rito are just rubbish and I feel no rewarding at all after winning😅 rather I would get into a soul game and start beating(or get my shit beaten out) a boss and enjoy the rewarding feeling that gives me, I rather fucking self study quantum fourier, and waste my time on some random knowledge I will never use

Mid can impact other lanes just as easily. And so can certain top champions (Quinn, Pantheon, Shen) I don't really understand your argument for the main problem being the roaming roles. For some perspective; I have been playing LoL since 2012 and only got into playing in high elo from 2019 to now playing every single role (my lowest role was my support account, only managing to achieve D2 before ragequitting the role for good) and as I also often play in the lower elos due to purchasing new accounts or boosting with my friends I definately understand the argument of riot having to make the game really boring because of them not understanding how to balance the game in such a way that its fun for all skill levels. But I certainly do not think the main problem right now is in these roaming roles. What I've noticed especially over these past 2 or so years is riot desperately trying to force a meta that is interesting to watch for professional play. Making the same champions appear over and over and over again every single champ select, while making the damage and hyperscaling so insane that there is always a risk to throwing making the games feel more risky. It's way easier now to do comeback and throw than ever before, this in combination with random teammates makes soloQ a horrible experience. THAT is the main problem.

Man its sad to see a person like you who had so much passion for the game be killed for no reason :( I loved watching your rants and patch notes reviews because i could really hear that you loved the game and wanted it to get better im so sad because of all that happend

Almost a year since a uninstalled league of legends, but instead of playing something else I installed dota 2, not perfect but definetly having more fun playing dota 2 than I ever did playing league

In the Old Testament it is written how God took away Samsons strength when he lost his hair, and just like with Samson, God struck you down and slowly took away everything you loved and cherished when you casted away your mane

Hash, go read the comments on voyboys post, I read nothing but support for you. Let the fear go, you're good my dude.

I'm from Viet Nam. I've been watching you since before Aatrox's reworked. It's sad that you quit but tut the state of League these days is quite depressed and it's very difficult to have fun while playing. Wishing you good health and if possible, come back one day soon.

I am playing little ranked but I am focusing on some other games and some TFT/Arena. I am getting back into DOTA 2 though.

Its been a journey, have been watching your streams on and off for like 2 years now. I really enjoyed the league content but i am excited to see the new journey that you have chosen. Love your content and witty comentary. And btw i got to plat for the first time by playing Ksante, a champion that you taught to us during streams and vids. I hope everything goes well for you hash

nobody quit League don't worry you'll be back in no time

Same man. I got off the league drug. Been playing for like 5 years straight, the only game I played. But since 2024 I really quit.

Well, something you wouldn't expect, Corki got reverted back to the version before his rework (mostly).

hey man i hope life is going good for you and you can use this time to really enjoy it cause as a longtime fan i really just think about the good times and i know all of friends think the same don't worry about the bad shit the people that think like that are small but loud , i really think league died when all that drama came and its never recovered , thanks for sticking through and giving us content stay strong brother you got people that care out there i promise

The fact that people think a random streamer is a better investigator than the actual FBI is proof of why we, as humans, have failed as a species.

I followed the drama that happened with you, your ex and your voyboy boy and it showed me that no matter how much you try to prove to people that you are innocent of what they accused you of, they will still prefer to harass you instead of trying to understand you What annoys me the most about all this is the fact that the person who accused you of all this is exempt and continues as if nothing had happened, and that the only one who ends up being harmed was you. I'm sorry if my english is hard to understand, i don't usually type this much on this language. I hope that one day you can find peace and justice from all of this.

This is why I like Dota 2 for now. They bring the big update that really change the game, making the game feel fresh to play. While League is almost still the same. With how they keep releasing new champions, only few of them like can fit in this current meta while in Dota almost all heroes is playable even though they got almost the same numbers of playable characters

I enjoyed watching your patch note reviews rip

I have been feeling the same about League. Increasingly got pissed at it, and eventually stopped playing it. Vanguard finally made me uninstall it, just don't morally agree with it. I remember I first found your Twitch stream in 2018/2019. Thanks for streams/funny videos.

Even worse about faker name, he never used skins :)) If you want to respect that skin should be free

Nice Hash, I quit about 2 weeks ago and Im honestly way happier playing other variety of games that Ive been neglecting on my steam library ETC. I mainly quit because vanguard started bricking my PC for 0 reason and was disconnecting me from internet for 3 to 15 seconds randomly even when league wasnt open. I had a internet tech guy come out and it wasnt on their end. I uninstalled vanguard and league and it instantly fixed the problem...

Hash, please try Heroes of the Storm. It's super fun, it's Blizzard's only game they haven't destroyed yet, it's easy to pick up, games are quick and there's a lot of maps. I'd watch a stream of you playing it! :)

Ive quit since vanguard mostly because of vanguard but i didnt play much anyways. All of these problems you say are in the high ranks are also in the low ranks. As someone whos at the bottom ranks- these are still happening. Probably smurfs but everyone takes advantage of these problems in their favor. I lose most games with the best score by a landslide in my games. I only play support. I play genuine supports not full ap excluding lux (blame riot. They ruined support lux). Im usually one 1-3 deaths and everyone else is 5-6 and usually top lane or jungle is 10+. Top lane is always counterpicked. Jungler never ganks and helps us- enemy jungler is somehow in every lane at every moment and also clearing camps in seconds. Mid lane isnt roaming My adc wont go in when i stun them or anything. They are just dumb. And then you have me that plays defensively because i dont want to feed just like everyone else. Usually i have more kills than at least one other person because im the only person thats smart enough to position correctly most of the time. For us its adc support and jungle thats hard to beat. Jungle keeps our top and mid from ever getting ahead then spends the rest of the time camping and funneling exp and gold into the adc with help from the support. Then by 10 minutes the adc is 4 levels ahead of you has 3 full items and full boots and youre dead before you can even react.

See you in two weeks

I really agree with you on the problem with not just league, but also the community as a whole. I also don't think this kind of community can sustain itself very well. Ive watched a lot from your second channel and hope there'll be more "produced" videos. Truth to be told, I am not much of a stream guy - I dont have the time and its often just too slow for me(great for when Im doing chores, though x). I also get unreasonably annoyed by chat >.> But it'd be nice to see stuff like properly edited lets plays or something. And your reviews are awesome. Rarely do you find reviews that feel so... honest. Most reviews ignore the negatives a little bit too much. Not that I think that is necessarily wrong - but your reviews just give a clearer picture while still being pretty positive when you are reviewing something you enjoyed.

22:27 that is absolutely true but riot doubles down on every patch. Every tim they try to buff a champion they buff all of their abilities combined sometimes more than once in just a patch and I think is just because the general community doesnt understand how much each buff can impact a champion. Back in the day changes were way more mild in general yet the game wasnt as stale

i will miss the patch videos and arena content but still i will always love more the variety content

Its tough to quit but now that ive been gone for at least a year i dont even think about logging on. Riot dont care about their game, only how they can milk the people who are addicted for more copy paste skin money. I legit have more fun playing Blizzards Heros of the Storm which is a dead game but still has players and shorter queues than league when i get that "play a quick game" kick

Fully agree with this. Its just no way to have fun, theres no skill expression. It's boring, stale and toxic. Gameplay patches are not shipped with balance in mind, its to please a rotation of player bases every now and then.

Shinshin I love these long videos where you're just talking. May it be League related or not... I just enjoy listening to your voice

im gonna be blunt here, league of legends is bad

Personally, i think making it possible to choose your role before entering games was a mistake. Change my mind.

You know man i really appreciate you. I wont lie I haven't been watching your actual gameplay as of much lately, not for lack of respect but league isn't it for me too much anymore. Your balance patch videos have been the only thing Ive been watching recently since yours are by far the best out of any to exist. You do such a good job of describing the changes they will bring and i will miss having you talk about them in the background. I will of course respect your decision to quit since you are a adult man that isn't bound to do something you hate. I can only hope you find success doing something different even though I wont be there to watch you grow in a new direction. If you do come back I hope it will be because you genuinely wanted to and are doing well outside of league. Good day to you mate and have a good life. keep it up!

You could turn this channel into your main variety channel since you've already got loads of subs. Fuck Voyboy and best of luck to you my man, we'll never abandon you.

league fucked up by forcing roles, every game has to have a ranged adc + support bot, every game has to have a jungler, of course it's going to get stale, theres only so much you can do with such a cookie cutter format. Also making their audience install a root kit was lmao I drank the dota koolaid years ago but if you want to get away from mobas I understand too

Unrelated but the goatee really suits you.

Hash, your League content has always been a interesting for me to watch, see a brutally honest take on the state of the game from your pov and here we are, after around twelve years of ups and downs for League it seems the sentiment of the community about the game being downhill is finally setting in for a lot of people, me included. Your channel was basically the only thing left that I watched that was League related, mostly due burnout after such a long time but also sharing most of your views on many different occasions and loving to hear your takes and of course hearing a good rant lol. Will miss your league related content but will look forward to what you will be making in the variety channel (EU5 hype) o7

Wow! I legit needed you to tell me that even normals (I don't play ranked because I work full-time, and it does not feel worth it) do not feel fun because of indeed: I don't want to have to track jungle and support and manage objectives and contribute to vision, especially when many of my teammates don't seem to care to be serious or also just don't feel like paying attention to said things. And I this 100% sincerely, not sarcastic at all. I appreciate that you showed me how Riot does take us hostage by making the game about this competitive and pushing people to do better while not really trying to make that a fun experience; we forget that LoL is a videogame and a videogame is supposed to be fun. I enjoy my arams with my friends because when the game goes badly it feels like not our fault and we can shrug it off more. I really think that is a large component of it, at least. Secondly, I get you when it comes to the LoL community. It's a group of people that feeds on drama; lashing out at other creators and I am too mature to care. I like (you,) Hashinshin, and I think my favourite Hashinshin moments were when you/he genuinely enjoyed talking about lore; being engaged with viewers and, for example, playing BG3 and having a good time with friends. They are streams I have enjoyed rewatching multiple times, even.

is there anyone who knowledgeable about league and talks about patch notes and recent meta etc? replacing shinshin hard 😔

Gonna miss the patch notes but best of luck with everything else, even though you're horribly wrong about the Tomb Kings sucking and that means we must be mortal enemies.

It's been 10+ years since I've first started watching you. I don't play league 6+ years now. Always been a good dude, take care. Wish you all the best

League has mostly been stale for a long time which is why i usually just no brain in aram but after having a child 6 months ago. its been very easy to move away without any feelings of returning.

How much y'all wanna bet voyboy has some skeletons in his closet he's been trying to obfuscate by starting shit up about hash?

why is his mic a bar of deodorant

I didnt even try league after the new anticheat rolled out, I heard too much about people's laptops bricking out and I dont need mine to do that

League, honestly, been shit for a while. When I hit platinum last season, ranked was all luck. Very little skill was involved in 90% of the ranks. Only in the top few ranks did skill actually matter, and scripters got so plentiful up their as well. I saw no scripters until I hit gold 1, and after that it was still rare up till high platinum. --- I literally only play Arena now... norms, just are generic. They try to change it, but it doesn't work. They need more maps. Even fortnite cycles huge-ass map changes every year. League could stand to do that. It make worlds fun if pros were forced to play ARAM live, then next match it was some 4-lane monstrosity with the jungle being open to the lanes, and very little walls. They need balance to be more freeform. One patch they do 100% true damage on max range teemo Q, and it scales down into a 0% magic pen Q at close range. Then maybe in another patch Azir summons minions equal to X+1% AP.

There was one part where you were talking about League being in a 3 year cycle, and it reminded me that old Dota was like that too. I don't exactly remember the order but it was something like this: 1st year: Stall Meta 2nd Year: Push Meta 3rd Year: Gank Meta 4th Year: back to Stall Meta cycle continues Stall meta was boring as f bcos you had to wait until late game, Push was boring bcos there were more tower kills than actual kills, then it was gank meta with a lot of kills. Then Valve was like, "wait a minute, why not just make every year gank meta?" Then Dota was fun every year,especially in esports, gank meta was WAAAAY better to watch as well

Also, I feel like you should have sued him for harassment?

I still get upset about the time you were removed from Twitch. I loved your content a lot, and now I have been too busy to follow up on streams because irl stuff. I love your mini history lessons that you used to give, and your complaints about various broken champions, lol. I really wish the best for you, and hope things will be great in your life.

14:53 yes he is, another rework is on development currently

League is irreparably damaged. There are too many champions, and it's just too daunting for new players. So even more than when I started in S1, you have to tolerate loser ego-chasing, gold-peaking, smurfs grinding your will to play into dust. Then, the game changes way too much, way too fast, we just had the Items reworked, and it had to be done again. Damage+Mobility+Engage Range creep has made the game generally unfun, Yone jumping from the edge of your screen with one item and melting you like steel beams is not fun, the outplay potential simply doesn't exist sometimes. Less important but the graphical fidelity of the game is well beyond dated. I could drone on and on, but the only way league is every good again is with a sequel, that starts over with less champions and is better balanced and designed all around.
