He probably couldn't even click the right game mode. Hell, he was probably so drunk he misclicked Dota and ended up hitting the league client.

At least he isn't lying, I mean, that must be worth something, right?

or he is just a little kid wanting to sound cool. This happens most of the time when they say it.

They are not drunk. Just a bunch of dumb kids who want to sound cool because their game play sucks.

I have a feeling thats 75% of the players who announce it.

MaropaL26 votes

Why would we play sober ranked games? thats no fun

Cheekynorth8 votes

...Because you don't want to ruin 4 other people's rank with an effectively forced loss because a drunk player is doing very bad and is effectively 4v5?

i play better drunk then sober

Honestly like as soon as you learn to farm a bit playing stoned isn't that bad. Hell if you're lucky you get into your zone and focus incredibly hard.

I find myself being able to play as normal most of the time, sometimes i get in my zone and start focusing on farm. and then i always think i'm not paying enough attention to the minimap so i start paying attention to that too. However you need to know your limit, when you pass that you start playing bot games (adc janna ftw).

I can't speak for being drunk tho.

Most of the time it's just dipshits trying to sound cool tho. There's no reason to announce in all chat about how "420 Blazed, xD" you are.

Thats how I am drunk xD Get into the farming zONE won't get a single kill all game, but I dont die either, so I wouldn't say I do BAD xD my map awareness is pretty shit but like you said I know my limit xD after i hit that, just go aram or bots lol

higura5 votes

normaly when i play drunk do i play AI because i dont really wanna ruin other ppl's pvp experience regardsless if it's normal or ranked.

what i dont understand is why i get yelled at even when it's AI...like, it's not even because im doing bad/not trying or anything like that...everything under the sun isn't my fault just because im drunk at some point ppl!.

The last time I play with drunk it was a bot game and he ask me who should he play, I said play Singed so he can run around in circle like a drunk. One of the funnest games I've played in co-op vs ai.

With what League I played during S6 (let's be real, S6/7 League is only entertaining if you're intoxicated, oblivious, or new) I only played with friends in norms so that every member of the lobby knew what was happening and wasn't that negatively impacted. So if you want to drink or get high, do it in a full lobby with people you know; that's when it can actually be funny - especially if you're on voice coms listening to someone slurring incoherent nonsense calls as you laugh at them (I knew what I was saying damn it!)

What isn't funny is when you get drunk, queue with 4 strangers, and screw over their chances of winning just because you wanted to be an asshole. And it does make a difference if it's norms too - just because you're not graded doesn't mean you shouldn't try to win.

Amusing that he's drunk but he's able to type complete sentences with 0 typos

Keevalroy3 votes

We don't have time stamps, but he could have been typing slowly.

I won't speak for everyone, because it's not true for everyone obviously, but I know some people who play much better when high specifically. It makes them less tense and they make less mistakes. Drunk is a different beast, and the only things people I know do better while drunk are not appropriate to speak of.

Alcohol naturally has aphrodaisiac powers.

That and the capability to incapacitate you but yeah.

Keevalroy3 votes

I found that I farmed more efficiently when drunk since I was forced to dedicate so much energy into focusing on what's in front of me - the creep wave. Keep in mind my map awareness became nonexistent, but I was CSing like a beast.

IM A ID A IR A2 votes

At least he is trying xD Probably still better than these guys who come in a ranked game, instantly ping that they have 1000 ms and tell us that we have to carry him because he can't play like that.

GoleBilon13 votes

i mean it isnt exactly his fault because he cant check his ping outside of game.

it happended to me multiple times when i got in game i had like 400 ping but then i just make mobile hotspot on my phone and im good.

IM A ID A IR A1 votes

It's actually possible to check the ping outside of a game. There are several possibilities tbh.

GoleBilon4 votes

Yea its actually possible but you need to expect to have shitty ping before the game. EUNE & EUW servers are located in frankfurt so i dunno why riot does not implement "check your ping " in their client it cant be so hard to do.

but even if they did it would not change the random ping spikes many people experience because they have shitty internet providers i live in capital of Poland like 4 min from midtown yet i experience internet problems quite often even though i but "biggest, best , most stable 120 mb/s lightning etc ".

ItsOrval2 votes

Yeah I have the same problem. I get a bad ping now and then due to shitty internet. But if I want to test my ping, then I have to go to a custom game and wait 5 minutes to see how it is. It would be great if League made a 'Check your ping' feature in the game so I didnt have to load up a custom game.

GoleBilon1 votes

you can check your ping in the internet just find out where is the server in NA and you can easily check it and it takes less than checking it in custom game

ItsOrval1 votes

They dont work all the time though. Sometimes I will do the speed test, it will say my ping is 83, I go to a ranked game and my ping ends up being 230+ all game.

JessicaBunnyR1 votes

go to speedtest .net checks your ping then go to a custom

Angry Monster1 votes

Just so you know, speed test is routing to a specific server and testing off that server. The path choose probably has 0 relation to the server riot uses for hosting games.

In other words speedtest.net is only usefuly for checking if your ISP/home equipment is having a problem or not.

The only way to test to riot's servers is to ping or tracert the IP address of riot servers (not riot games 2 different locations).

Lol the high ping spams are brutal lately for me too.

invisiblecat12 votes

Nah keep them out of my normal games Customs and Co-op vs Ai are where they belong

Le Tongue2 votes

I don't think they are drunk or high, just want a lot of attention thinking it's super cool doing something their mom doesn't allow them to because they're most likely 13 years old. :O

Don't even play normals. Enemy Morg was drunk and went 1/11/0. You play games for fun and I promise that game wasn't fun for the enemy team. Have fun but not at the expense of others.

I enjoy league, and I enjoy alcohol. And I enjoy mixing them. Like Winston Churchill said, I've taken more out of alcohol (and league) than alcohol (and league) have taken out of me.

One or two drinks can be very relaxing, and what it will cost you in reaction time might be made up in anxiety reduction. It's the same reason most of the guys I go bowling with tend to bowl better after a couple of beers.

There's a difference between having a couple of drinks and playing while drunk/hammered/smashed.

I've played while drunk. It's fun!

I wouldn't play ranked that way. That's just not fair to people trying to climb. You need all your faculties.

Co-op vs AI, customs with friends, even ARAM. Normal blind/draft if I'm part of a 4-5 summoner pre-made. :)

And for the love of god, don't go announcing to everyone that you're "Drunk AF".

Automated Riven2 votes

i tend to play games better after 1 beer. 2 is stretching it. but any more then that and my games suffer pretty hard.

(i am speaking on a purely mechanical basis. My decision making is why I am still high silver.) at least I will be when i play my games and get back up there anyhow.

YOU LOST LMAO1 votes

There should be a report option for drunk/high people

Jesse Pinkmân1 votes

after a certian amount of reports

"You're drunk/high to much so we've disabled your ranked games further playing games while drunk will get you only able to play bots"

ItsOrval3 votes

Then people who are drunk/high wont say it in game.

deadlychuck1 votes

I'd probably play ranked when drunk, despite not normally even playing ranked, because i'd probably enjoy pissing people off.

ItsOrval1 votes

You probably main Teemo as well dont you

deadlychuck1 votes

Nope. If i had to give a main. Ex Shen, Malzahar, and Twisted Fate.

Currently I'm more of a Varus main.

Though, I guess i should prefaced these, with Fighter Shen, AD Malz, Marksmen Twisted Fate and AP Varus.

No, i'm not a huge fan of teemo, I played him for a string of about 4 games a couple of weeks back, but his design just isn't appealing to me, outside of the AP auto attack modifier.

This Is Your Dad1 votes

I will add that you do not want to respond to "I'm drunk" with "Fuck me". You'll never be the same.

ItsOrval1 votes

Im the same.

PopsickIe1 votes

I played a game like that. Mentioned that's why we don't play high and I got reported and a chat ban.

Vizulix1 votes

Someone on my team did that before when I was in my Promos. What's even worse was that he was high and drunk.

VivaLaKitten1 votes

Dear players, do not get drunk or high, period. doing drugs increases the chance of you becoming depressed alcohol destroys several brain cells and being drunk makes you less likable in every way imaginable

BLACK REALM GOD1 votes

why should i have to deal with it in "norms"? why should a person who can't do anything but bring a team down due to their abuse of their own body be allowed to participate and bring said team down?

you guys didnt pick fat kids in highschool for your basketball team so why should i have to put up with alcoholics and dopeheads (you know the difference) ruining my game of dungeons and dragons with your frat party let's get laid syndromes???

double standards are funny.

that's why when someone admits they are drunk or high or otherwise intoxicated i report them for griefing and intentional feeding. doesnt matter if they go 22/0/50. telling the team that you're drunk or high just ruins morale and makes the game all that more frustrating for the rest of the team. intentionally playing while drunk is playing with the knowledge that you're not going to do your best. you might as well have just told your team you're going to feed.

i dont think players should be banned for that behavior, but definitely placed in a low priority queue for the night until they've sobered up.

ApexInTheCircle1 votes

I'm sorry that I have to drink in order to desensitize myself to the vitriol that the league community chucks at me.
