How do u guys apply LoL strategies to real life?
I came across this article and it got me thinking, maybe people who are really good at LoL might also be really successful in real life?

I help out at a daycare sometimes, so League has actually been incredible for resolving situations on the job.
When one kid bullies another kid, I tell the bullied kid to kick his bully in the crotch. We get a lot of crotch kicking for a while. Recently the sickly kid has been hiding away from all my crotch-kicking disciples, so I gave him a knife. He's steadily taking control, so I'm gonna go get some more knives soon. The day goes much faster when kids get shipped off to the nurse's office with bloody wounds. I think it'll go even FASTER when kids start dying, so if the knives don't work out for that I'm planning to hand out guns and ammo in the near future. With knifey kid taking over, a few kids have taken to wearing their winter coats all day. I tell them "hell no" we don't accept knife blocking in my room, so I take those things away lickety split. I can only imagine how lame and boring the room would be if I hadn't been playing League.
LMAO seriously why do I not spend more time in these forums, you guys are hilarious
Just curious, is the sickly kid's name "Draktharr" by any chance?
His name is Zed. I think the other kids are always sneezing and coughing into his milk because when he's healthy he doesn't need me to give him any items, he rolls all the little turds on his own.
Meh other then attention to detail idk what you can get from LoL or anygame for that matter. Ofc I would say that getting/training attention to detail is easier from video games and they are pretty good for that. From LoL specificaly maybe you get the ability to not get offended by anything or to be a total thrash talker (just like me heh)
I constantly blame my teammates for not "calling mia," "help me dragon," "following ur laner," "didnt invade with me" and try to micromanage them, focusing on their gameplay. Meanwhile I struggle to perform the most basic functions of my own character/role I chose to play; last-hitting, remember I have a ward trinket, using my abilities correctly, checking the minimap, right-clicking enemies, correctly judging how much damage my favorite character does, doing something other than running around in a circle panicking during teamfights. It doesn't matter whether or not a teammate called attention to it or not, I'll still pay more attention to what I perceive as their failures than anything I could have done differently. At the end game screen, I blame my teammates for our loss, using phrases like "no teamwork," "never in fights," "didn't save me," "didn't peel for me," or "let (champion) kill me."
Consequently I'm incredibly codependent and needy in real life too. My overinflated sense of self-esteem, emotional volatility, and passive-aggression make me a joy to be around, and employers just love how I frequently take on tasks beyond my capability and then shunt blame and responsibility onto others.
I just laughed out loud bahahaha.
If you're being honest at least you're very honest and self-aware? :D
I try not to be that guy. But if anything, trying not to be that guy in game helps you not be that guy IRL.
after the daycare comment I finally caught on to the joke lmao sorry it took so long

I find this is actually a pretty transferrable skill for climbing the corporate ladder. Altho you need to do it well, which is tougher than it sounds.
idk to me its like saying "you eat apple? youre going to be really successful in real life"
good point, that's the thing, do people who are competitive in LoL, also find other things to become the best at in real life, like leadership positions, sports, work, etc?
What if you don't have real life?
are you a bot? :D
i flame my enemies.
What each role in solo queue has taught me:
Top: Don't expect help to come if the task you are performing isn't a priority (island)
Jungle: Some people are jerks and love to get in your business; sometimes its better to just walk away (invades)
Mid: Even if you fall behind, you can contribute (pushing, specifically Malzahar)
ADC: Believe it or not, people depend on you to keep at it (objective control)
Support: Not everyone realizes the above and it takes patience to teach them (supporting team)
pushing specifically 
keep going even if your inting till you take all 3 of your towers an inhib and your enemy laner has taken 0 towers from you (like a true sion player)
I blame everything on my idiot co-workers.
Have your strongest force attack from the right.
League contributes nothing to real life
