Am I the only one who almost dozed off while watching every LCS matches?

Same picks, same strategies, duo jungle strategy, one support being the annoying bitch strategy, one team kills either bot or top turret, while the other team either kills the bot or top turret, possible lane swap between top & bot, and yada yada yada. It's things like this that always makes me consider if I needed a 2 hours nap or something. And even if I wake up and then attempts to watch another LCS game, I would reconsider getting a 2nd nap.

I swear, the only time where I will really love watching LCS would be those random picks like , other than that, it's nothing fun at all.

state of the game punishes exciting plays.

people like seeing risks taken.

in the current broken ass meta a failed risk is end game.

just dance mid till someone steps 1 toe out of line and GG.

thats how riot wants it I guess.

I've been falling asleep last year's LCS. I can only imagine how bad it is now.

I would rather play the game than watching high schoolers play the game.

You're not, but not for the same reason as me. LCS games put me to sleep no matter how exciting they are. As soon as I put one on I'm out like a light, it's actually really convenient because I usually have trouble sleeping otherwise. LCS games and being a passenger in a car, two things almost guaranteed to make a sleepy Tazzy

If you weren't entertained by that FOX -DIG game Saturday then there is no hope for you.

Watching people who spend their lives solving League will obviously be boring since it's just a repetition of the best strategies and picks of every patch

I fell asleep twice watching the only teams I'm following this year in NALCS (TSM and C9).

Before I actually fell asleep I was yawning the whole time since they were using the same strats from all their other games, on top of using similar champions (if not the same champs).

Would love to see Hai on something that isn't Morgana, or get Bunny back into the games and actually devote time to his shotcalling instead of relying on Hai to solve all their shotcalling issues. (PS I love both Hai and Bunny, but I think it is silly that C9 always relies on Hai when things don't go right immediately)

Nope, some of the games were very boring. There are a few gems but most are just repeats. Last season was so much better.

yes.

It's really easy to fall asleep during them. If I try to watch one, it really does make me start to seriously consider what will make me happier 1 hour from now, watching them play, or sleeping. Sleeping keeps winning. If they're just going to duo jungle while there's a 2v1 lane each of top and bot and there's almost no chance of anything remotely exciting or interesting happening for 99% of the game and it's entirely decided by that 1%, then I'd rather have that extra sleep than see that 1%.

Actually the Roccat vs Origen match last week was pretty good.

But that's one out of how ever many are played a week.

I don't watch anymore but this last Saturday, I didn't have any other streamers to watch and I was all caught up on LPL/LCK matches so I decided to watch. Ten minutes in to ban/pick (I think NA?), I fell asleep. I wasn't really tired but idk NA/EU production is so boring, and the matches are sub par compared to LPL/LCK. :/ I used to at least watch all the C9 matches but I can't even do that anymore.

Tru, season 6 is a boring meta to be honest. This game just isn't as fun as it used to be for me. Put trick2g as caster, if this keeps up.

I think this explains it. "They are Pro players" they will do what they do because it works.

DemoGuide3/14/2016, 11:05:27 PM1 votes

I probably should watch old season 2 M5 or CLG games. M5 was my favorite team, Froggen was my favorite player.

P.S. Also i remember me and my friend were watching season 3 finale over Skype. He fell asleep after first game.

Need dragon and rift herald to be worth fighting over. Season 4 was the best season to watch because it had combined the individuality of S3 and team work of S5. Dragon being worth gold (that scaled) made teams come down for a meaningful objective.

Want proof S4 was the best competetive season to watch? Check out this AMAZING series (one of many): OGN Summer Finals KT Arrows vs Samsung Galaxy Blue

There was that one fucking crazy game the other night where the game ended after a 4 minute long drawn out teamfight slugmatch that was fucking fantastic to see. I loved that, was so hyped during that last bit. Cant remember the teams tho.

I agree on the state of the game. I know watching the whole game is preferable as you don't get the complete picture otherwise, but it will take less time and might help you be a little more entertained if you watch the highlights on YouTube.

Wait, you're finding current LCS boring but you find watching Nasus farm in lane for 30 minutes and then auto win more fun?

Please, tell me what you're taking so I can live in a fantasy setting where Nasus is fun to watch

Come on man, isn't Gragas, Elise, and Nidalee enough jungle diversity for you? I mean these junglers have only been predominant in competitive jungle meta for over 12 months, no big deal right?
