It sucks, since I love DOTA 2, CS:GO, and Rainbow Six, but the community makes it impossible to pub. I just play indie games now with my friends lol
As someone who doesn't understand the proper strategy in playing LoL, I played it the way I play every game: to enjoy myself, not to compete; I used to 'jungle' as they call it, because I love PvE content and couldn't be bothered with the PvP content (yes, this was my thinking when I picked up LoL); a few games full of angry team mates later I realized this was not the game for me
Yeah jungle is literally the most difficult position, which requires extremely specific timings based on a myriad of things (the heros people are playing, how well they are farming, if they have gone back to buy etc. etc.).
There is a reason the old school pub method was just to farm as Master Yi and try to max level as quickly as possible. You don't have to worry about anything else. Meta changes too fast for me to care, plus, LoL is extremely boring compared to DotA. Either way though, both communities are intolerable, where even if you do put in the research and understand the timings, people will not forgive you for not literally being fucking Faker (which is an extremely old school reference at this point.)
Faker still plays, nothing old about that referencr
Christ, his hands must be shot at this point. Also goes to show how much I pay attention to modern league (literally used to run betting pools for it a decade ago).
I really don't, lol, I heard the jungling word over a decade ago
Edit: now I'm confused, is Faker a character?
Faker is a player. Probably the best there will ever be to play league. He's been playing since the start and while other pros have retired to coaching, management, casting, or other things this guy is still winning world championships. It's crazy.
