lmao I got past gold by taking a dab every game during loading screen. Its how I deal with league toxicity and untilt
I came here to have a good time and honestly I'm feeling attacked right now
on the contrary, i do know someone who plays better when he is drunk( i do not know how but he does it) it just depends on the type of drunk you are
Maybe some people never find playing League of Legends a good idea until they are heavily under the influence.
Hell, maybe they need to be that heavily intoxicated to even stand playing it. Who knows.
Guaranteed 90% of the people who say they are drunk or high playing league are under-aged edgy teens making excuses for them playing like shit.

If you can't play video games and get a buzz what is even the point?
As long as it's norms, who gives a shit? I'm not going to play ranked if I'm hammered, but there's nothing wrong with having a few drinks if you're playing norms with your friends 🤷🏻♀️

I once read someone say (in champion select) "can i play support?? im drunk so i can't do much"
...I've never seen someone else dodge so fast.
I basicly play stoned 90% of the time. Most of the time just lightly and it's not a big deal. If it's a bit heavier i'll lane really well because i'll be able to tunnelvision on farming/ dodging the enemy laner but i'll need my team to track their jungler.
However i can agree on one thing. If you start the game with "/all i'm so fucking high righ now man" you should just stfu. Clearly you shouldn't be playing while smoking, cuz if you need to make it clear without anyone asking you shouldn't even be smoking.
It's okay to have an opinion and all, but you're the asshole, as far as I see it. Telling people not to play a recreational game under the influence. Really dude? This isn't a fucking job to everyone. Some people play, you know, FOR FUN. I'll play under whatever state of mind I want to play under. You're just a snobby, self centered person if you want to tell people when not to play a video game, Jesus Christ. The height of self centeredness.
On one hand drunk/high people make bad and stupid mistakes.
But on another hand im not gonna tell someone they arent allowed to play a video game for fun during their freetime.
You do have those 'special cases' where people would actually get better at somethings like maybe even league when they're drunk or high. But if you know that you turn into nothing more than a bumbling idiot when you drink or puff then please don't do that, for reals.
I don't drink or smoke so I can't really speak from experience about the appeal of those things but just save those for after after you're done your play session.
I can honestly tell you that they wouldn't care less. Neither would I. I agree, it is a dick move if it's ranked but in normals it's really fun.
PLaying normals while high is crazy good fun. I have carried many games like that. I have actualy got high for ranked as well. Won all of those games
So... how are we defining 'under the influence'?
Significantly impaired? As in can't stand without losing balance? Shouldn't drive? Prone to vomiting due to alcohol consumption? Difficulty with vision, or nodding off due to opiate consumption? You should just play bots at that point so as not to ruin someone's game.
On the other hand, two ounces of scotch puts me in a very relaxed mood and very focused mindset, and my teammates (I play with a regular group) all admit I do better. There's a curve, obviously. One or two drinks might 'loosen you up', or in my case encourage riskier plays that I'm normally too timid to make. Beyond that though you'll get diminishing returns and it'll quickly turn to a downhill slide. Maybe that's from being a bronze 5, 43yo Alistar main with potato reflexes, I dunno. Everyone's different of course. For some it's nicotine during or between games. And others don't WANT to be relaxed during the game. These are the ones who are going to slurp down triple espressos between (or during) matches. Me? I'd be a nervous wreck and have the jitters - but I know people who practically run on caffeine.
It's worth noting that I've seen the same thing with other games/sports. Certainly I'm not the only person in the world who's been bowling and seen someone perform better after 1 or 2 drinks?
Heroin addicts are going to need their narcotic analgesic or their methadone just to feel normal enough to play.
Marijuana can improve creativity and pattern recognition (which is why musicians are frequent users, IMO) which could be a benefit to some people.
...and you probably can't even manage to queue up if you just injected DMT or dropped acid.
Me? Unless you're getting paid for Pro Play and have to follow certain rules, I say pick your poison (even if it's clean organic living), and only do it in moderation.
Just my take.
P.S. I'll note that I HAVE played bots (or customs) while extremely drunk. It's fun. I'm not going to ruin the game for someone else though. And if you and 4 friends are slightly tipsy, ARAM is a hilarious clusterfubar. Golden rule always applies. Don't abuse others for your own entertainment.
Some people can function fine, some can't. It just doesn't need to be thrown out like "haha i'm f'ed up i don't give a damn about this game" because that ruins it for others. I used to play and get hammered and I was complete garbage. Hell, I'm STILL bad, but ever since I stopped drinking I've noticed it's a hell of a lot easier to climb.
Statistically; I play better when high. It's odd.
Im better at video games when im drunk, most of my friends can attest to that. Its because I have to focus really hard on something otherwise ill get dizzy and pass out.
People who say that ingame aren't making themselves any cooler, tbh. It just makes them look like they're desperate for attention. Take this from someone who had a drinking problem a while back and is now clean: Don't drink and do anything that requires complex movement/thinking.
Drinking or smoking an illegal drug (at the federal level in America at least) isn't going to make you look cooler. It makes you look like a teenager that is trying their hardest to be cool, and failing at it.
Im going to continue doing so in norms but not ranked.
ahem go fuck yourself. Ill smoke my weed and play league because guess what? Its my life and I'm allowed to live it however I want to. What the fuck are you some video game cop? What if I told you I play league better if I smoke first? Or during? What if I told you I've carried plenty of plebs that probably view weed like it's the bane of society? So what if someone decides to sip alittle before a game? What if they tilt hard normally and drinking helps them calm the atmosphere. What if I told you not everyones home environment is the best and smoking/drinking helps them cope? What if you were one of those "assholes" that drank or smoke to keep the depression down low or keep the stress under control and you run across some judgemental fuckbag like yourself who tries to tell you some bullshit because oh suddenly it's not OK to live your life the way you want to.
Once again, go FUCK yourself you spoiled little prick.
don't text either, nothing is more annoying than the adc step stopping a few times and taking several seconds to actually get to lane, and the occasional opps sorry i missed a team-fight where i stood there and took all the hits because i was responding to a text
