It's a common problem in long running live service games: how do you onboard new players into something this complex?
You're viewing a single thread.
I love everything about League of Legends except for actually playing League of Legends.
The lore, character design and art style, Riot's community engagement and approach to balance - all of it top tier.
But spending 40 minutes losing a game because your top lane got washed 0 and 6 and your shako support just keeps doing the worm in duo fucking sucks.
The community is toxic partly because the game design is infuriating. There's like a thousand ways to lose - the draft, vision control, last hits on minions, objectives, items, team mates, technical skill, etc.
It all compounds into a really shitty, rage inducing, experience.
At this point, I'm just waiting for 2XKO to drop.
