Riot take a look at this

FakersTiltedWife··4 votes·582 views

Riot needs to do something to get new players into the game. When I started to play it was because my friends told me to. I hated the game first and i didn't know what was going on even though I watched and played the tutorials. But when i learnt the game it was really fun.

The problem is that people stop playing before they know what the game really is about. Riot need to make people keep playing until they know if they like the game or not. Maybe with more tutorials and information?

One big problem with low level games is the amount of smurfs playing. I am leveling a smurf and i feel bad for the new players with 2-3 smurfs each game. I think riot can fix that if they start to sell accounts. That will lower the amounts of smurfs in low level games and at the same time kill the black market with league accounts. Then the problem is that permabanned players will just buy a new account. To solve that you will neef to link the new bought account to another account and if the smurf gets banned your main gets banned too.

I think that will be a win win for all parts. Riot will stop the black market with accounts, new players will get better games and more experienced players can get more accounts without spending a lot of time leveling a brand new account.

I think this things will make league of legends a better game and hopefully it can get a lot of new players from this. Upvote if you think this is some good ideas. Thanks for reading.

Yeah I agree. Most people are just gonna try this game and give up. Especially if they had any idea what they were getting themselves into.

Just think of the very basics:

  1. learn all champions abilities and damage expectancy
  2. learn all items
  3. learn role responsibilties
  4. learn to last hit and trade with some degree of competency
  5. learn when and where to ward

And that is just the very basics! That could take someone like a whole year to figure out without some real help.

That's part of the reason for the new mastery system and rune removal and some champ rewords. They are dumbing down the game in an attempt to lower the learning curve. This opens the game up for younger kids, and casuals. It's all about marketing, riot doesn't give a shit about the players or the game quality.

Except that there are actually more possible choices on these runes. What were old runes? Oh get ad mr and attack speed and a thunderlord. Woo hard decisions.

Just as a side note I completely agree with your assessment regarding the learning curve, in fact I would add several things to it like map awareness, objective awareness, map control, basic pressure strategies, basic team fight strategies, target priority and focus, cool down times, and basic team composition.

There's actually not more choices. That's just a clever marketing ploy that riot told you to justify the changes when it really has nothing to do with that.

Old masteries had 6 choices per tree, and you could spend a total of 30 points divided up into as many trees as you wanted (choices). Not to mention runes that you could go a number of different ways (10? I forget how many there were per slot) in each of 4 slots (more choices).

What do we have now? New Runes (runes not masteries) are flat universal buffs (no choices) and another flat buff that is dependent on your mastery choice (extremely limited choice). Masteries are cut down to 4 choices (limited choices) per tree and your hard locked into a single tree and a 2 choices (very limited choices) for a minor mastery.

Quick Maths: 4 + 2 = 6 30 > 6 (and that's not even counting runes) Riot Lied to You.

Map awareness is an advanced skill. Anyways, deciding whether to put 5 points in minion damage or 5 points in out of combat ms was such a big decision. I think you're onto something.

Oxyrotten1 votes

So then you admit it was a choice that was taken away.

I admit that I'm done trying to educate a multi-season bronze veteran.

Oxyrotten1 votes

It's just math man can't argue with numbers. We had more choices than we do now, that is just a fact, there's no way around it. There is absolutely nothing you can say that changes the numbers.

And if you think map awareness is an advanced skill... maybe I should start smurfing in plat lol.

Clearly as someone who played many seasons hard stuck in low bronze you've mastered the game. Buy a new account and take it to challenger with all ur other bronze and silver friends who know everything.

You've proven that putting 5 points into on-hit damage on minions was a meaningful choice we are dying without.

I think you have a great career as a mathematician or economist ahead of you for sure. You have a brilliant mind young man. Good luck at Harvard.

It's funny how you can't refute anything and your only argument is that ONE of my accounts is kept in bronze xD

Clearly someone who can only get past gold 5 in a preseason is in a place to educate someone like me xD xD xD

If you want to skip the math that you can't seem to argue against, lets just talk logic. Does it make sense that because the majority chooses one way that the minority should be forced to too? And let's remember that is your only argument that holds any water.. But wait, why take away those options when you don't have to? Does that make sense? Certainly doesn't to me. But hey I'm hardstuck bronze xD xD xD what do I know?

GarthBrooksXD1 votes

its just clear that your head is void of organic matter. You're so stuck on believing that every point you put into on-hit damage on minions and mana regen was so meaningful. I'm done talking to u kid. Bronze trademark is being really stubborn and unable to learn. Why would i continue to beat on a dead horse?

This account was plat in july plz shit talk me about rank more hardstuck bronze 4 for how many seasons lmfao. You're literally one of the worst players in the world. Get lost loser.

"Stubborn and unwilling to learn" Wow the irony is unbelievable. Once again you avoid explaining your self or supporting your claims. And your the one that brought up creep dmg. I would illustrate my point but you don't seem to be capable of discussing "advanced skills" and strategies. But hey if you want to stay hardstuck in the meta then who am I to stop you?

I am still waiting for you to "educate" this poor hardstuck bronze player btw lol. But all you have done is contradict yourself and avoid any meaningful discussion. You haven't responded to any of my points and only seem to be able to throw around insults (bad misguided ones lolol).

It's really starting to seem like you don't actually have any reasoning behind your claims, and are just saying that because it's what you have been told by riot. So much for your plat mastery of the game and understanding of it.

It takes no time to level an account anymore. It used to be a month or two process but now can be done in a week or two.

Selling accounts makes no sense, the black market will still exist, it will just shift to cheaper or include more content. That and the game was never intended for account leveling, the only reason to level an account is that your supposed to learn the basics in the process. There is no balance for pre30 because it does not matter.

But riot realized that it's not the steep learning curve that's hard (although it is incredibly steep), it's that the playerbase has crippling low IQ and refuses to learn how to play because of inherent toxicity (can't tell me nuthin syndrome). They are still lowering the learning curve (rune removal, mastery rework, champ rework, nerfs on everything) but they are now doing so at the cost of game quality.

Also I don't know if you have been paying attention but this last year riot has dumped a metric crap ton of cash into marketing for league, as well as incorporated a lot of the game changes into marketing gimmicks, half the preseason changes are aimed at that (the half that isn't aimed at making the game autism friendly).

Garen, udyr, and master yi made me want to stop playing. If one of them gets a kill and than it’s game over. Lots of my friends who have recently started playing are very discouraged.

I can agree on master yi. But garen and udyr are both pretty trash.

Yi I can understand, but you have to realize he is just a pubstomp champ. There is nothing wrong with snowballing itself (the broken meta and mechanics is another matter). The problem is that 90% of the community has no idea how to play and let's a yi run rampant.

DeFDaanDM2 votes

yi is that type of champion wich hunts the people who are solo on a lane but in group fights he mostly gets targeted first

Oxyrotten1 votes

That's the idea alright, he's a pubstomper but the game now caters to bads and casuals who don't group, don't have map awareness, don't build defensive items, don't know champs, and don't know when or how to use cc.

So when yi is 21/2/1 by 20 minutes he can usually 1v5 since he is full build and 3 levels higher than everyone.
