I think it's absolutely absurd that people consider it "normal" that there are no avenues in this game for new/low level players to play with/against higher level players as a learning experience. This is NOT normal. As XilDarkz said, it's the norm in every other game for there to be ways for people to find practice games with/against vastly better players to help them improve. There shouldn't be an expectation that you have to be good already for a high level player to be willing to play with you and teach you something.

I KNOW that there are higher level players willing to teach, and lower level players willing to learn--but LoL simply doesn't have any avenues for this built in, and the community has failed to develop one for itself.

USnip, if you're here, I know you were playing this game when TL LoL inhouses still involved a lot of the old "high-level" players (e.g. Uta, EzPz, etc. still playing in TL Inhouses) so I can't believe that you forgot that these happened.

Marn (team) was supposed to for a partnership, but according to Marn (manager) he had to get money out of his own pocket and tell them Mobafire would pay them for the players to actually write something.

TSM doesn't really have this problem because the site is "one" with the team so the players are committed to produce content.

Well if I had landed that web dev job with them I'd've cleaned it up for y'all, but my PHP wasn't up to spec for Solomid. Alas, no eSports job for Req still.

$count=0
for ($i='a'; $i<='z'; $i++) {
  $count++
}
echo $count

I disagree. The absurdity of asking for a group of players to want to be ranked 5's diamond/challengers, when he himself was only Silver II, should have said everything. Especially adding on to that; he expected 6 hour play time from people.

Also, that's not to fucking say there aren't tools out there for him to learn. It's fucking LoL for god sakes. It's got high level players streaming 24/7; 4 websites regarding item builds for champions; VoDs are widely available (except China's, cuz fuck China), also got great TL articles, we got this GD (though harsh) provide plenty of great answers and thinking. Everyone here has started from scrub tier; most of us probably had the whole "why my team so bad? I got good score, why am I not winning?" Got to correct that type of thinking, before anything else.

I think a lot of new players from other game background drastically underestimate how difficult LoL can be. I think too much of it is the whole "LoL IS SO EASY COMPARED TO DOTA" bullshit.

Zerkers are so bad on Trynda, dunno why he didn't go mercs. He'd be so much more powerful vs Malph.

PHP is a terrible language and it should die in a pit


For example, what is the output of:

$count=0
for ($i='a'; $i<='z'; $i++) {
  $count++
}
echo $count

Afaik mercs would work on Malph's Q but not his E, so it's not that important. Other cc include Nami's stun (legit), Ori's slow, and Jarvan's slow. His knock-up and Ori's, Nami's or Malph's ults can't be affected by Tenacity.

I don't think it's completely absurd for someone to expect to improve from Silver to Diamond over the course of a season. It's a good goal.

The 6 hours a day was honesty probably an exaggeration, I wouldn't have taken that at face value.


The problem is that there's too much information and probably 95%+ of it is garbage. Trying to filter that information without ALREADY having a working knowledge of the game or the professional scene can be enormously inefficient, if not even counterproductive.

Just out of curiosity why does everyone think that MOBAfire is a bad resource for League?

Is it because it's too easy to find a bad guide/the bad guides severely outnumber the quality ones?

I mean I used I've used some of the guides there to some success, but I do think you have to be careful in what you're looking for.
