That’s unfair to meth.
Meth has a large number of useful applications. And most meth users I’ve known have been comparatively civil, soft-spoken, and fun at parties.
The people I’ve known who used meth are great to have on your side in a fight. The problem is they tend to just get in a lot of fights anyway.
Unless you meant “meth user” as people who need Adderall and similar stimulants? That’s definitely not the same thing lol
Desoxyn is legally prescribed meth. Adderall isn’t quite the same thing, but Desoxyn definitely is.
Which to be honest if you ask heavy amphetamine users amphetamine and methamphetamine aren’t that different anyway.
League of Legends: Wild Rift is fun and the internet consensus is wrong on this one
issue is you can’t really play league without playing with the type of people to play league. that’s enough for me to say no thank you, no matter the game mode or whatnot
I mean, you are definitionally correct. League players are the type of people to play League.
There are great ways to enjoy League without having to interact with League players. For one, there is the PVE digital card game Legends of Runeterra, which has a really satisfying RPG roguelike mode with long term progression. I have likely put over a hundred hours into this and spent zero dollars.
There’s also a new single player feature for Wild Rift which lets you fight AI opponents trained on player matches. You can edit the ranked skill level of the AI and pick/make them play any champion. There are dozens of hours of good times here alone. Again, completely funded by cosmetic purchases of other players and free to enjoy.
Personally, I think turning off chat and teaming up with players you got along with is more than enough to compensate for the “type of people” issue. Playing with pure randoms in any online game is not great for sanity. But lots of folks are looking to make friends and are good co-op partners if you’re willing to DM them.
The matchmaking dynamic has ruined a lot of games and LoL is no exception. I do think folks play up the bad vibes on LoL relative to everything from Overwatch to Valorant to fucking Roblox. If you’re not going into these games with a group of local friends, you’re either going to have a bad time or you’re going to be the bad time other people experience.
First time I ever played, I stated it was my first time. Team lost. Got called homophobic slurs. Never played again.
That’s like the first time i played TF2. Got called a bot midway through and then booted. Never went back.
Why would i play League when I can go have fun
It is fun, that’s why so many players play it. The issue is a toxic userbase. But playing in a 5 stack with friends is great, as long as your friends aren’t toxic dicks either. You can mute the chat and not worry about the other team saying anything.
It’s the same phenomenon as road rage. You expect certain actions out of people without communicating, and when they don’t conform to your expectations, you wonder why they can’t just see the most obvious thing (to you).
There are different reasons for each, but very similar feelings.
I don’t personally get road rage because driving isn’t competitive. But I do react poorly to others raging at me (which is also a childish problem I should get over.)
Game specific diatribe incoming. Stop reading now or forever hold your peace.
Partly it’s that I have some unique ideas about how support can be played. Partly it’s that I’m absolutely more inclined to support somewhere else if I’ve lost confidence in my “partner”. Partly it’s that I’m actually bad at very obvious parts of the game, while it’s easy to overlook what I am accomplishing. I’ll take too many risks to maintain vision, for example. People get mad when I die stupidly, but don’t see how they’ve had better than professional vision for the entire game. (Because I take too many risks for it, and bad players are even worse at clearing vision.)
Learning to support others when you realize your carry is bad, tilted etc. is indeed one of the best skills for a support. Providing vision and general support to the one (or two) good players in the game is totally a winning strategy.
Also we don’t say “I died stupidly to grant vision”, we say “limit testing”.
People trying League is the same vibe as people trying meth
