Riot Brightmoon and Meddler are joined by members of the League team to discuss Ranked, champions, Arcane, champion mastery, modes, anti cheat, skins, and es...
Looks like the end of league of legends on Linux. Hopefully with the growing popularity we see some support in the future.
LoL is the poster child for toxic community. The game is fantastic but it’s really not worth playing because the other people ruin the fun.
It really only takes one person to ruin a match and you’re always playing with 9 other people (in the “main” game mode). Because of the way ranking work, leaving early because of a troll actually punishes you so you are incentivized to stay in a game that you’re not enjoying. It makes people cranky and they tend to take it out on internet strangers.
And for some reason, only in LoL do they seem to feel free to use the most despicable language you can imagine.
Anyways, there are other games in the same genre if you want to try them. DOTA2 is the obvious one, though I personally think it’s a worse game than LoL. The Blizzard one was really good but it was shut down IIRC.
That’s my opinion too, but it’s a fantastic game for the right person.
It has a good mix of strategy and tactics, which is exactly what a competitive game should have. If you’re looking for a competitive game that doesn’t really benefit from twitch reflexes, it’s hard to beat. I recommend people try it or something similar (e.g. Dota 2) at least once. It’s not for me, but I don’t regret few hours I spent with it.
I’ve always wondered what LoL is like and if it’s any fun. Now I’ll never find out.
Its fun but the people who play it are the most irrational, angey and fucking miserable people you will encounter.
“I wonder how crack tastes.”

That’s dumb. There should be an option to vote to end the game early, and if you get a majority with at least one on each team, the match ends.
You’re not missing out on anything. One of the worst games I’ve ever played.
