despite what you may believe it does not make you better unless somehow playing slower with delayed reactions and less stable emotions makes you better. go watch a reply of your games when you are under the influence wile you are sober if you think you play better :P and hey if you just like to get blasted and play at least keep it out of ranked
No but it makes me feel better about feeding.
PSA: The drunk or high person doesn't care.
People play this sober?
This reminds me of a study I read about a while back. A group of people were asked to drive a minor obstacle course while sober. Later, those in charge threw a party and allowed all the participates to drink as much alcohol as much as they wanted. Then they allowed the group to drive the obstacle course again. The group was then asked which of the two courses they felt they did their best at. Almost 95% of the group said they did the second test better. Of course, both sessions had been filmed. When the group sobered up, they were shown the video of both runs. Admittedly, the group, while drunk, failed the course across the board. But the perception was that they did better while under the effects of alcohol.
No doubt those that play League drunk or high have the same misconceptions. No, it doesn't make you any better. But it's a sure sign for me, personally, I shouldn't be playing with you.
It is a deception. There is no actual improvement with drugs and alcohol. The mind is unable to compensate for the foreign chemical it's being subjected to and develops false responses as a result. The "euphoria" that is felt is one of the ease on the symptoms of withdrawal.
It most cases, the alcohol or drug acts as a placebo does. People believe they are better when on the substance. But again, that's the deception working. But that's the trap. Once the effect of the substance wears off, you want more of it. That's when the addiction and damage begins. You build up a tolerance and require greater amounts at greater intervals.
But it makes no difference to me. I've seen plenty of team games, not just in League, ruined by the mistakes of players who then claim that they are drunk or high as some sort of justification for their failure. Across the board, I don't like playing with people who are inebriated nor do I care to listen to their excuses that they have willingly imbued a substance that will ultimately make them less effective then they might have been otherwise.
"and hey if you just like to get blasted and play at least keep it out of ranked" Keep it out of league completely.
As said drunk or high person gives 0 shits, people like to wind down with a beer or 3 after work/college/whatever and play video games. I've played drunk a few times I@m worse than usual but it's easier to have fun.
honestly though, my duo played while high the entire time we played ranked together. made him less bitchy and he performed pretty much the same. i would rather him have slower mechanics than go on tilt and fuck up my promos and stuff, u know?
stop hating me because i'm smarter than you. lol i had something else to say entirely.
ah yes, it is that it was my personal belief that the problem with most people is they don't smoke enough marijuana.
especially among people who believe themselves mistakenly to be intelligent, the problem with most people is they do not smoke enough marijuana. heads up.
I'm not saying marijuana is bad either. I think it's something we need to relax on and start more medicinal and recreational use. But it DOES make it easier for you to not care about something going wrong.
The problem, I think, lies at what point we can hold each other responsible for not playing at our fullest. League is a game. We keep the toxic behavior out to keep it a relatively, yes I'm going to use this phrase, 'Safe space'. But if someone drunks or smokes to relax while playing the game, at what point are they infringing on us because they are dragging us down by playing worse. Can we fault them for doing whatever they do to relax? But it still infringes on us. It's a bit of a grey area.
One time I was playing duo ranked with a friend while I was really really drunk. So much so that I afk'ed for about 6 minutes to go throw up, immediately came back underleveled and joined a teamfight where I got my first pentakill of the season as twitch and we won the game. checking the after game stats, I still got the most damage in the game despite having 1/4 the cs of everyone else XD. That's the only time this has even remotely worked out well with the exception being singed (statistically, I play a better singed while under the influence).
"Play sober, or GET R E K T!!!"
I disagree, my best ashe game was under heavy influence of vodka. It was the only time when i actually could snipe someone from entire map :D
and hey if you just like to get blasted and play at least keep it out of ranked
fuck that shit. if you like to suck keep it out of rank. some people play better drunk and high on a 8th ball of coke than some people do on their sober state.
not all true as weed is a trap in that regard.
you see for someone who have been smoking for a long time can weed actually improve your performance for the short time it`s in effect, this is why many of them belive that they get better when they smoke.
this is partly true, because you could get alot better performance wise if you just stopped smoking for a month and it would increase even further after that (you will never reach the point you had befor you began smoking though).
p.s. sorry for any spelling mistakes, i have tried to correct as many as i could.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I do play better after drinking and no I will not keep it out of ranked.
Unless you're Yasuo. Then your three consistencies in life are honor, death, and hangovers.
I actually play ok when drunk. Shit im drunk right now and just went 7/3/4 on udyr jungle.
Omniphonic12/29/2015, 9:00:25 PMi was, uh, just happening to be thinking about this very topic this morning. so i was well prepared for this very thread lol.
i know for a fact i'm better when i'm stoned and drunk, my precognition engine fires at full bore. i do stuff that blows my own mind, that i'd never be able to execute nearly as smoothly stone sober. not only that, but i get 75% less trolls when i'm playing f'ked up. i know that's statistically impossible, there's no way my sobriety could have bearing on the temperament of the players i'm matched with, but i swear it's still totally true.
