      Arcane was a marketing scheme, they didn’t invest in there to gain money, was to attract players, they needed it to be a good show, that’s what i think

      The game itself is good. It’s more a problem that 5 random kids are supposed to cooperate against five other random kids and many of them would be better off playing single player games where they can’t blame others for their mistakes.

      With that said, I feel flaming is less now than a few years ago.

        Yeah playing with organized teams is so much better than soloQ. The entire game revolves around teamwork but then they throw 5 randos together with no voice chat and it’s just an incubator for frustration.

        Flaming is probably less now because the game is getting kinda old and people don’t take it as seriously anymore. I haven’t played in several years so idk.

      The game is mechanically great.

      The player base is so wretched and vile that it made me uninstall Windows so I will never be tempted again.

      The porn is also good.

        Every time I get the itch to play again, I go and look up the newest champion and cringe at how bad the power creep has gotten.

        Ambessa is just thicc Riven, but better.

        You can mute the chat now. You should be extra tempted by the superior mobile version Wild Rift. The controls feel like they’re meant to be a twin stick shooter, and piloting a champ is much more satisfying that way

            Haha I’m right there with you. It’s like someone going “Hey, remember when you used to do heroin and hate yourself? I know you’ve gone to rehab and cleaned yourself up, but wanna try this new Heroin-Lite?”

        I played a lot of lol when it got out, as Garena was unbearable, and lol had reconnects and matchmaking.

        But compared to Dota, that game just feels hollow. I get that it’s made easier for wider audience, but still, it’s very lacking.

      Riot works on their game

      Then they throw money at other - actually competent - studios to work on side content

      The game is good, if you try hard it you go insane tho because you depende in 4 other people to do their part, and it’s 30min of suferring and losing feel so much worse(that’s why dota with 1 hour is event more toxic, and league of legends mobile is less because the game is simpler and 10 min long and a lot less try-hard), dota has a lower time match option too
