So Game Theory has released a video about the effects and advantages between the colors red and blue. It's all based on the mentality of the player of how they see the colors. Like how red represents aggressiveness which gives the mental advantage to especially the fps players like Halo, Call of Duty, or Team Fortress 2.

Go ahead and take a look.

So. . . based on the information about this theory. . . does the color of your champion and their skin affects the way you think? How does it affect mentally you?

I do tend to play more aggressively with Guardian of the Sands Kha'zix than I do with Mecha Kha'zix.

Also, I use f.lux (software that tints the screen orange after sundown) and I tend to play better when it's on than when it's off, but that could just be due to the time of day (I always work better in the night time than in the day time).

This is all anecdotal, of course, but I'm sure there's some truth to it all since there have been scientific journal articles that suggest that different colours make us behave differently.

I could be pink for all I care. I'll still kill ya all the same.

Add note; 54/46 ratio is within margin of error for a 50/50 odds in probability. Considering you could just as easily have been 100/0 or 0/100 because what might happen can happen.

Yeah, but your structures/minions are automatically blue. Also, a Game Theory about TF2 AND League?!? Praise Gaben! And Rito!

To be honest, I'm pretty disappointed with Matpat. He abandoned much of the scientific validity the episode had starting off.

I play Headmistress Fiora so the black coloring of the skin makes me feel nothing when I mercilessly murder off the enemy team
