Travis I hated what they did with GOT but HoTD is awesome. Different showrunners and they're adapting a self contained finished story this time, I promise if you liked seasons 1-4 of GOT you're going to devour season 1. Looking forward to an update on a future HLL ;)

Hey Travis just a heads up it’s “fewer* teams” not “less teams”. Less is for quantities you can’t count numerically, like air, water, power, etc. Fewer is for things you can count, like people, seats, apples, or in this case teams.

I started playing League back in 2013, I got into eSports about the same time. I probably got about 10 friends into the game at various points between 2013 and 2015 back when they had the referral programs especially, but I also did it because I really enjoyed the game. At a certain point, I realized that anyone I introduced to the game, I felt compelled to tell them to mute everyone because almost every game had someone raging in it. I got higher in ranked I ever had once I muted folks, even though I hardly ever talked, and it showed me that even though I played through a lot of that garbage, it affected my mentality and my enjoyment. Eventually, that progressed into me telling people that I enjoyed the game a lot, but I don't enjoy the community. Wild Rift was fun early on because there were very few folks communicating in that, but it's gotten similar to League now. I play other games now, but I still follow the eSports scene. League has a well deserved reputation for a toxic community, and when you combine that with a steep learning curve and a huge skill gap between new and established players, it's not hard to see why this game isn't getting new players.

Spawn makes a great point, it’s much more appealing after a new player ruins your game because they haven’t learned everything yet to just flame them and report them rather than help them out and teach them things, assuming they are willing to learn. Most players I think wouldn’t take the time or don’t have the time to put in the extra work sadly

I have to agree with the caller, back when I first started playing, and even before then and a little bit after as well, I would see League of Legends ads all the time. Nowadays, I see them almost not at all, if any. And I also have to agree that the MMR being so different is a big problem for playing with new players and bringing people I know into the game, as well as the learning curve being huge.

I've been an LCS hater and LEC fan since the EULCS days... But I actually watch LCS more now. They trimmed the fat of the worst 2 orgs, Bo3s from the start of the split and the fact that come 2025 I can see NA v CBLOL. Also with the Americas league coming, we might see some insane talents just end up in LCS orgs since they would now be considered resident players.
@Whyisthatlamptalking
2 ай бұрын
Honestly, I don't understand the fears from CBLOL fans have that their good players will all be poached by LCS teams. I doubt we'll see many, if any CBLOL/LLA talent being snatched up by the remaining teams. People have to remember, the LCS is already down two teams and with another two teams leaving in 2025, that's 20 LCS caliber players already sitting on the sidelines. I don't see to many big roster changes from the remaining top teams either. Also, I'm sure most teams will still be looking towards Korea for talent and with teams like SK finding successful LCKCL prospects, that will only increase interest.

Travis I love this show and this league but if 100T actually quit the league I will have to quit watching LCS. I stopped watching LCS awhile ago and only came back as a viewer when I heard Nadeshot was coming into the league. Looking at Nadeshots current support of the League team which is none I am saddened at this inevitable event. I will enjoy this last season as a hardcore viewer

I love Cubby but a lot of the takes he pulls are not that interesting. We just had the first week of LCS and we spent about 15 mins actually talking about the teams and the games. Its good to hear about what these guys think it takes for a player to reach the potential but put it in the context of a specific player so we can really invest into the conversation.

My take about the MarkZ interview from The Dive - I love Mark and appreciate the obvious positive impact he has made to LCS so far as commissioner. BUT if his interviews can be predicted with three answers: "It depends", "We're still looking at the data", and "I'm not allowed to talk about that", then maybe it's better to not do interviews at all.
@PlsDontReadThis123
2 ай бұрын
Nah, his interview gave a lot of context as to why some of the changes needed to be made. The biggest critique I have seen for the LCS in general for the past few years is how slow their communication is and how little they control the narrative. That trend shifted with Mark and I like that.
@jaydee4177
2 ай бұрын
If you've ever seen interviews with commissioners in traditional sports, you'll know that it's pretty much par for the course. The reality is that he can't speak to issues that haven't been fully finalized or legally contracted, because the optics would be way worse if the commissioner says something and then something different happens. It's annoying, but comes with the territory - and I still think it's way better than just not doing any interviews at all.

Too many victims in league to be able to add someone after a match and try to give them advice. The second you type something to someone they are instantly in defence mode. In my opinion its a cultural thing with the western audience and how we view team work and even playing a video game.
@gregpartridge7554

It's also that people don't understand that stuff like "are you ******* blind bot??" or "stop feeding top" is not advice. Advice needs to be something informative and that people can reasonably act on, without magically inferring your intent, or knowledge or skills that they don't have. Players also tend to be really bad at considering what they themself may have done wrong, or even if not wrong what they could do better to help the situation, e.g. "sorry will ping incoming next time".

Why is less teams some how more hype? Answer- it's not. Fans are far past the point of the lies being believed. But you know what would be hype, returning full relegations to where we can see what hundreds of millions of dollars worth of investment looks like against raw skill. But that won't happen, the reason being these teams are so utterly mismanaged that they are too scared to lose there spot to five solo que players. Compete in worlds? No, they won't even take their odds at winning against five random players on the ladder they claim is too bad for pro players to play in. Let that sink in. The lengths that franchising turned this region non competitive is absolutely baffling. Remove franchising.
