Just want to share...
I won't go in to much detail, but long story short I had encouraged a friend of mine to try League so when he learns how to play it we would be able to play together. I told him by the time I finish summer school and by him playing the game for that duration we would be able to play and climb together (of course I thought him few basic things before he got to go by himself). However, just a few weeks later my friend told me that the game just literally sucks and that he might just not be able to enjoy the game. I asked him why? he told me two major things:
-
In all of his games he felt that many of the players in his normals (can't play ranked cause under level) have already played the game before (like smurfs). He felt that there was really no challenge/growth to his lane or gameplay as he was just being stomped.
-
Getting stomped and really get flamed so hard. He doesn't take them personally but he told me they're just really nasty and condescending.
Overall: he felt the game doesn't really give a real newbie welcome.
