Grave's such a badass  :lol:

[AlwaysFSX]

Too bad the game looks nothing like this, plays nothing like what's shown, and is still a general pile of crap. Pre-rendered movie is great though.

Plays like this and is the most popular pile of crap in the world.

[Guest]

At first when Draven entered and looked at Ahri it was like:

 

'Bad day huh?'

 

And then when Graves has Katarina at gunshot he is like 'Sup'

Ehhhh.

[Kevinkt]

Ehhhh.

 

 

I was joking

[Guest]

Too bad it will be only available on steam.

What?...

[Guest]

I need a faster connection, i can't download games at acceptable speed these days. We have a home connection that everyone uses around, even when it is Isolated to me i can only watch youtube videos in 240p.

But what does that have to do with League? And steam?

[Guest]

In Steam, the speed i get is really slow and most of the time it froze to a point because so many people in our family are busy with their phones, i somehow need to make my mom agreeing me to get a decent and stable connection so i can use steam and don't have to wait for days.

Oooh in that manner!

There isn't enough good game content in the world sadly. I view League like I view CoD for FPS. I view CoD like I view cereal vs other foods. Cereal is delicious. It isn't good for you, but it's delicious and will make you full. Back in the day, kids would actually become malnourished because they ate it too often, so they added vitamins and such to all cereal to bypass the fact that it's bad for you. It's still bad for you, but not as bad for you.

CoD is like that. People play it because they enjoy it, but not because it's good. LoL is the same. It has basically an infinite amount of content that is technically always changing (different scenarios in battle, different maps, different players with different strategies/skill levels, different champions with different layouts, etc etc etc), but even then, it's effectively the same game over and over. 

If people enjoy that, fine, but I believe there's a large demographic of people in the world that play games not because the games are fun, but because the people are bored. What I mean is, there is a difference between playing a game because you enjoy it, and playing a game because you have nothing else to do. I believe many people are the latter rather than the former for LoL and other "cereal" games. Except there are no "vitamin" boosts to these games. i.e. something to counter it being bad. This is what I attribute to LoL being so popular. It's fun, colorful, well made (little to no bugs/glitches) & maintained, etc. But beyond that, you don't get much from playing it as a human that is valuable (i.e. learning about the world, learning about yourself, growing as a person, etc). 

An example of a game that is not "cereal" is something you learn from that isn't explicitly restricted to that game. I mean sure, you could learn cooperation from LoL, but honestly, based on the community, I doubt that's happening in any significant sense outside of the pro sport segment. You could practice math to min/max your character, but that is also limited in quite a few ways. However, story driven games that let you view/explore what it means to be human or discover things about yourself are a good example of  games that aren't what I constitute as "cereal". 

Basically, I prefer to only play games that I will attain something from beyond enjoyment. I want to learn I suppose. Games that don't facilitate that are "cereal" to me and I only play in a social setting (i.e. with friends). The fact that I have no friends means I don't play these games. Ever. Beyond trying them to see if they have something I want. 

I'm just saying. Popularity isn't everything and, in fact, I would argue that popular things are bad things disguised as good things more often than not. That's not always true, but I am willing to bet it is true often enough to be significant and relevant.

Yeah a bit like that. There isn't much else to play you know, which is changing every time like that, but I do enjoy it.

This took so much hard work to create. It is amazing tho... And they just did it for no actual reason LOL. Just for the community. I like that.

You might have stepped on a landmine by saying that, haha.

 

Though I have to say: League of Legends isn't a bad game, it might not suit your taste, but that doesn't make it a bad game. It's an incredibly well made game, much more so than most other titles released in recent years and the passion of the team maintaining it is unyielding. It's not entirely bad for your health either, I'd probably call it a nice muesli, and it'd be great if only there were fewer raisins in it. 

 

I hate raisins.

 

:rolleyes:

Ok. But I fail to see where they are different in regards to what I was talking about. Yes, they are different genres, and yes, LoL has more complexity/quality by a magnitude, but in regards to what I was talking about, they are the same thing. 

If you want to know what I was talking about, you should go back and read the rest.

-lol-

Eh. I consider it more for advertising honestly. Yeah, it's cool, but of the experiences I've had and read regarding Riot as a developer, I view them as the typical "We want money." developer. Not that they don't enjoy what they do or that they don't care about their community. I believe they do. I'm just saying, their prime motivator is money while the rest is secondary but still considered. That, as opposed to other developers who are "We want money." as prime motivator and screw everything else that doesn't give us money.

Then there's the developers who focus on community/the game and money is secondary but still something they want. Those are rare. Then there's the developers who focus purely on community/the game and don't care about money. They are even more rare.

Indeed. But it's how I view things. Admittedly, I'm only level 17 in LoL, but you have to realize that I don't play games for competitive gameplay. I don't find that fun in the least. I don't have friends either. That means I have 0 reasons to play LoL. There are very few things I consider positive about LoL as well. Of those are the things you mention. It's a good game in the sense that it is made well and of high quality (art, sound, music, combat, etc), but that's not all I judge a game based off of. What it does to the people who play it is more important to me in determining what a good game is.

If I can have fun and enjoy a graphically amazing experience, then it's a good game. If I can do both or either of those things, along with growing as a person/learning, then it's a great game because I value growing/learning a lot more than just enjoying something. For what it is, LoL's graphics are good, but relative to other genres, they aren't. So, to me, it's a bad game because it requires large time investment to improve/get somewhere while giving you little to nothing in return aside from some fun. 

People can disagree with me on that, but I find it logical and reasonable personally.

[Legion]

Now if only LoL played anything remotely like this. I've just never gotten into Moba's and lol is possibly the worst experience I've ever had trying to get  a game going.

 

The code is just a horrendous mess. But at least the game itself works once you spend 4000 years between getting an enemy team and the game loading.

Then the fact games just take too long to play out.

 

I found more enjoyment out of this video than I have ever playing the game.

As for the person who brought up the popularity argument CoD was the most popular thing for years doesn't make it a better game than quake

See, LoL was actually made to be a game for a group of friends. By saying that you judge the game from people playing it, you really can't play any online game except something like club penguin, there are always individuals being assholes. 

You are literally saying "the game is great, i like it but i will hate on it because someone called me a fag". Grow a thicker skin. Use mute button. Find people to play with (not that hard actually). 

 

I might sound like a LoL fanboy (which I obv am), but, seriously, the people saying that they don't like the game because of the community are just running a circlejerk. The community isn't as bad as you say. Sure, some individuals might say something rude or go afk because something silly (happens very rarely), but the majority of the people are actually nice and either don't say anything or something relevant to the game. Also negativity bias.

 

I'm not stating LoL is the best game ever, but the hate is very over exaggerated. I understand that not everyone might like games with magic, 5 year old graphics or moba games in general but by saying the game is unplayable because of people playing it you are being very silly.

That makes sense, and I can see the appeal in that aspect.

No. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying "I judge whether the game is good or not based off of people being ass-hats." I'm saying "I judge this game on whether I consider it good or not based on what it gives me and everyone else." If all I get is fun out of it it's not good. If I have fun and learn or grow, it's good. All LoL has is fun. It's like cereal (cereal tastes good but little else). I'm not gonna learn about myself or learn about the world by playing LoL beyond "people can be asshats" and "smaller number < larger number". 

If the ratio of "time/effort required to play" to "what I get out of it" isn't good enough, it's not a good game imo. That ratio changes for people who have friends because you get more than fun out of it. For me, there are other games I can play that have better ratios. Even with friends (if I had them), LoL would scrape by for me as a game I would play. There are better games to play for me even then.

It's not the community that makes me not like it. It's the fundamental game itself. It requires friends to even have fun playing for me, and even then, I'm not learning something useful while playing. That's why it'd scrape by. 

I never said it was unplayable, or anything close to that. I'm saying it's not worth playing without friends and even with friends it's barely worth playing. And because of that, it's a bad game. It's a good game if you only focus on mechanics and whether you can have fun or not, but I don't think judging a video game purely on what's relevant to a video game is a good idea. I think judging it based on it's relevancy to a human life is much more important. What am I gonna take from that game when I put down that controller and go live the other parts of my life?

If the answer is nothing, then I won't play it. If the answer is "benefits of having fun" (i.e. the various mental/physical benefits of enjoyment), then I might play it, but it's doubtful. If the answer is "what I learn about myself, others, or the world", then I probably will play it. If the answer is both fun & learning, then I'll definitely play it.
