I've gotten several parents to enjoy watching league before, this is how I explain it:

The entire game is about taking towers. The team who takes all the enemy teams towers wins the game. The towers are kind of like goal posts.

In order to take the towers, the team has to protect the little guys as they get up to the towers. The little guys are kind of like the ball.

The big guys are the players. Their job is mostly to protect their little guys and stop the enemy teams little guys, but in doing so they end up clashing with the other teams players, which is what makes it exciting to watch.


I don't bring up baron/dragon/inhibs/jungle/levels/items/champions at all. That's enough info for them to start watching, and then they'll ask those questions as they watch.


Its kind of like american football, except instead of having one ball on the field, each team has a ball, both teams are playing offense and defense at the same time, and the first team to get a touchdown wins the whole game.

His q top lane is what made him bs now I find he still becomes a monster when he has some items but he can get stomped in lane early if u miss q's because u will run oom fast and deal no damage

If I were to introduce some non-gamers to league, I'd just show them some match from worlds and get them super hype

I DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON BUT THIS IS AWESOME

I actually think that's a pretty good explanation by Ketarah. Fairly easy to relate to due to the fact that almost everyone can figure out basic team sports such as soccer/football.

Yeah, Ketara's method seems like the most likely to work. I always fuck up explaining games to people because I include wayyyy to many details. Need broad strokes, then let them ask questions to fill in the gaps.

I always through this explained LoL pretty well. Although you'd have to have some idea how RPG and RTS games work.

That video assumes the person watching it already plays video games and just doesn't understand MOBAs.

My method assumes the person doesn't play video games at all.

I had a game where we went 18 minutes (from 25 minutes right to the end when we lost) without getting a single objective after taking all but one inner tower.
We had a gold lead the whole game including when we lost at the end. Not a single person on the team would go for a single objective even when they could, and I was support so I couldn't do anything solo.
Maybe they need to make everyone watch a little video of what the purpose is before they can play again, just in case people forgot between when they started playing LoL and now.
HOLY CHECK!

Ive just watched Cloud9 house tour and you know what? They all have their own rooms :o They dont sit side by side. It's easily the most comfortable gaming house ive ever seen. If you want to watch house tour.

no doubt that Koreans prefer being pro in NA rather than Korea.

Thoughts on cinderhulk ww? His last nerfs were disgusting (ult @6 has 100 less damage and 20s higher cd, W nerfed from 10s-6s), but I can see some positives in the current meta. His clears (especially early) are probably still super slow, but with less early ganks coming from the jungle, he isn't as punished for just farming to 6. With the cinderhulk meta, fights seem to last longer, which is good for ww since he has great sustained damage, especially the %health from Q. Vs a 4k hp cinderhulk tank his Q does 640 and heals for 512 (before resists obv) on a 3.6s cd with max cdr, which is easily obtainable from FH + SV + runes/masteries. With hypercarries being the main damage source, being able to lock them down with his ult also seems like it would be pretty huge.

Only real problem is an big lack of damage besides Q/cinderhulk passive, since i'm not sure how he fits in wits or botrk unless fed. Need to get at least like cinderhulk + boots + FH + SV + randuins. Won't be like the old ww who could 1 shot squishies with ult + botrk/wits/devourer procs + a Q.

I explained League to my mom by saying, "It's a medieval melee, only with fantasy elements and with a few objectives beyond 'beat your opponents into submission'."

It's not precise, but it gives the general idea pretty quickly to a medieval history buff.

Yeah but my mom doesn't really read stuff, or watch TV, so basically all those options aren't gonna work :/
I explained it by comparing it to Stratego (idk if that's a thing in the US), because we used to play that a lot.
