Why Haven't You Played Vladimir?

He's literally the easiest mage to learn with built in sustain and a naturally tanky play style? Why haven't you played him?

Because I don't like top lane?

You sound like a carbon copy of some very popular league of legends youtubers. I think we already have enough of those people...

I'm sorry, though I know our content is similar because it's league related, they don't own the rights to highlighting champions. I just look at champions I don't see often and make videos about them.

I didn't say you should stop doing what your doing so your defense of saying "They don't own the rights" is a very stupid thing to say to such criticism. What I said is that you are very very similar to those youtubers. It has NOTHING to do with you making league of legends videos. You are a fucking definition of the word "Carbon copy" of their channels. Try to spice your channel up a bit more. Keep making champion spot lights but change some stuff up. Don't be so similar in every way.

Edit: The fact that I haven't even hinted towards what channels I'm talking about but you and everyone else knows instantly what ones I'm referring to should let you relies how fucking similar you are.

I'm not being defensive, but you are or you seem to be agitated by your cursing in the post. I just explained to you what I do, since all you said was that I was a carbon copy. In what way am I a carbon copy other than in highlighting champions? My videos aren't nearly as long or informative (aside from maybe the Galio one, which still isn't really informative). So explain yourself instead of throwing around words for the sake of, otherwise it's not criticism.

No, he is right.

There is not one single part of this video that I found unique or refreshing in anyway. Whether you attempted to copy them or not, you certainly don't stand out. It's pretty much beating a dead horse at this point, the act has been done.

I can imagine I don't stand out among the measurable amount of people who have already done this, but I did these on champions I liked or requested of me for friends and not necessarily to stand out. I had fun in making the videos and so I posted them here after, I just asked for an explanation instead of word flinging.

PDE5 InhibitorsDec 14, 20151 votes

Him telling you that you sound like a copy of those people doesn't exactly need an explanation....it is what it is. You should be able to understand what he means by "you sound the same as everyone doing this already". It's not a difficult concept lol.

Doing it for fun is all fine and dandy, just don't be surprised when people point out that you are a carbon copy of everyone doing this already.

There is an inherent problem with saying that "you're sounding like everyone doing this already" and that's that there are ALOT of people doing this. Some in informative ways and some in not so informative ways. It's within his right to not explain himself, I just asked for an explanation (i.e, what can I do differently) because although I am having fun with this I would like to keep this series going for a couple more champs before I end it. Make sense?

PDE5 InhibitorsDec 14, 20152 votes

Well he did say the famous ones. There aren't A LOT of famous people doing it. Also, you did not ask what you can do differently, or any type of advice. You simply replied, "they don't own the rights to highlighting champions". So no, it doesn't make sense to me.

Make videos til your hearts content, but don't post them if you don't want/can't handle the criticism.

I reread the comment, he did say popular youtubers. I could have been more perceptive. Pile the criticism on though, I would like to get better at this. I suppose I don't count saying "Carbon Copy" as constructive criticism, but I shouldn't expect in-depth criticism from anyone and that's my fault.

So what do you find unique about your videos?

The video in itself is not unique (admittedly), but I do them from my perspective on the champ with some of my videos going into the masteries I use, which I don't see often. I also don't go into runes (which is commonplace) because these videos (while meant to spread information) aren't supposed to be overly educational.

HalloweenDeathDec 14, 20151 votes

I do not have the skill set to compare both you and their videos together so I chose to ignore the request to give an explanation. I find the comparison to be obvious, others might but others would be more suited towards comparing them so ask them not me. I was just here to insult your lack of originality. Nothing more. I actually tried to give you an explanation but nothing I wrote came out right.

I don't know what you expected from a single sentence insult though...

Ah, well that explains it. I guess I should expect unprovoked insults instead of constructive criticism in the "Concepts and Ideas" section of the League Boards. Have a nice day.

HalloweenDeathDec 14, 20151 votes

I never understand why people can't accept simple insults as constructive. If the simple insult is true. It's constructive. It's not like I told you I fucked your mother. My insult was directed towards your lack of originality in your videos. Yes it wasn't the most constructive insult but it did something. Now your just being a passive aggressive douche. Have a nice day.

CrettDec 14, 20152 votes

I can SORT of understand where you're coming from... but this is kind of an unnecessary thing to say. Let's not be disparaging, let people do what they like! There's always going to be somebody interested in seeing these kinds of things.

CrettDec 14, 20152 votes

The reason I don't play champions like Swain, Malzahar, Vladimir, Yorick, etc. Is because they are some of the most toxic, ragequit-inducing champs to play against in the history of this game

I just... wouldn't wish playing against them on anyone...

Because he hasn't been free week champ since I started playing.

I see what you're saying, but he has a lot of counters especially with the anti healing items. His easy kit I think works well at low ranked play, but I imagine that higher ranked player easily see through him.

Void NargacugaDec 14, 20151 votes

Never had the chance to that's why. Seriously that is it.

AqwafinaDec 14, 20151 votes

Give him a try, literally the easiest mage in the game.

Void NargacugaDec 15, 20151 votes

I will try him once he is on free rotation again.

Though I think I would build him like this: item 3116 item 3152 item 3065 item 3157 item 3020 item 3151

AqwafinaDec 15, 20151 votes

easiest mage to learn with built in sustain

I'm sorry but his difficulty is a 7, that's not exactly "the easiest". You want the easiest mage look for Morgana (who is a level 1)

AqwafinaDec 16, 20151 votes

Morgana is a 1? That's suprising since she has a skill shot and Vladimir is literally point and click. Sometimes just key pressing, his ult is his only "skill" shot if you can even call it that.
