oh you guys.

You don't like the Chinese cast? - Heretic, enemy of humanity, clearly have issues againts things that are different from the standard.

You don't like people who have different taste, when it comes to a purely subjective matter? - Way to go! Don't forget to remind them how racist they are, and how they can't accept things that are a little different!


yeah cuz fuck them

Part of this is blind fanboyism but this also reflects how uninformed the general League community is about the CN scene. It's something I've brought up to Riot and hopefully we can rectify this.

The CN league is incredibly cut off from the rest of the world. Compare it to OGN and they're miles different in production and outreach. You can't honestly blame anyone for not following the Chinese LCS

Maybe it's because I watched enough BW off shitty Daum streams, but I'm not exactly sympathetic to people who demand casting in their own language and Twitch streams.

Compared to a year or two ago, watching Chinese games is so easy now. You check Leaguepedia for times, go to fengyunzhibo, click on the stream that's obviously playing League with the most viewers, and you're done. It's not like when you had to use some shitty PPTV plugin (that triggered every form of malware detection in existence) in IE to get a 240p stream to barely be watchable.

For me it's all down to language. I can watch esports in Korean because the language doesn't bother me. However, since Chinese is tonal, it's very bothersome to listen to. Keep in mind, this is coming from somebody who will smile stupidly while sitting on a train overhearing a conversation in a language he doesn't know because he likes to listen to it.


This is actually one of the worst excuses I've ever seen.

Also, I was always on China's side. I will be happy to say that I did not care for the Korean hype train, and have been cheering for Comrade San and Comrade Cool.

How is it the worst excuse?If he wants to listen to ingame sounds but doesn't like the language and he can find something similar which doesn't have that problem why should he watch it?

Personally I've just never really been interested in the chinese scene for some reason.Now I realise how stupid that was.

Because it sounds like a bullshit rationalization. It's akin to eating sushi for the first time and not liking it, then wondering what all the fuss is about.

What?It's more like eating sushi not liking it and not eating it.Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Yes, but an adult would try it 10 times and see if it grows on them. Studies have shown that some foods are an acquired taste and you need to try it about 10-15 times to appreciate it. A child would be like, "Ew sushi. I'm not eating sushi ever again."

Sushi is expensive. If I didn't like it the first 1-2 times I wouldn't pay for it 10 more times, that's for sure.

No one is obligated to follow every scene, wtf. If he didn't like LPL he doesn't have to watch it, even because of reasons other people think are stupid.

I can't believe this is even an argument.

Sure, but there's no cost for watching the Chinese cast (other than opportunity cost, I suppose). I'm just calling him out b/c the reason he gave was very suspect.

I think it's fine for people to have their own personal reasons for not following LPL.

What I think is ridiculous is people trying to pin the blame on PLU/Tencent for not making it easy enough to watch Chinese games.

It must be nice to be so blissfully racist.

Csheep please do that thing where you are harsh but also right at the same time, this is just silly. Hating on a language is fine, if I told you how much I hate how english sounds you'd maybe call me a retard at worst, but racist? Seriously?

Personally, I find Cantonese to be unpleasant to listen to. As well as the dialect of my hometown, Wuhan, and my father's hometown, Ke Jia. I just do. I don't think there's anything racist about not liking the way a language sounds ._.

Fortunately, Mandarin sounds fine to me, and that's what everything is done in now, so yay ^^

Well if you don't want to eat something you shouldnt eat it?I don't really understand why I need to appreciate a particular type.All I say is "I don't like it" not "It is shit".

Very surprised why this doesn't seem like a good reason to people lol.


A mature person looks for reasons behind why they like or dislike something. The reason the first guy gave was very suspect. I've never heard someone say they think Chinese sounded bad, because it was "tonal".

So I can't say i can't stand XY language, if I can't stand XY language? Do I really have to point out why? What if I don't even know, maybe it's just annoying to me, or something?

Because when people don't give reasons or don't bother to examine the real reason they don't like something, bad things happen (see: history).

The problem is, sometimes he say so fricking stupid things, it has to make him even more mad, when he actually thinks about it, and it's just a downward spiral from there, haha.

It's more the fact that someone is finding Chinese bothersome because it is "tonal."

You guys are calling him immature and racist for disliking a SOUND, this is absurd. In your version of the world, a mature person would have to spend his entire time analysing foods, sounds, smells and surfaces that his senses don't feel right about?

You guys are calling him immature and racist for disliking a SOUND, this is absurd. In your version of the world, a mature person would have to spend his entire time analysing foods, sounds, smells and surfaces that his senses don't feel right about?


I just thought it was hilarious and the worst excuse to not watch something that I've ever seen.

How many people really need sound when they watch League? rofl

For me it's all down to language. I can watch esports in Korean because the language doesn't bother me. However, since Chinese is tonal, it's very bothersome to listen to. Keep in mind, this is coming from somebody who will smile stupidly while sitting on a train overhearing a conversation in a language he doesn't know because he likes to listen to it.


This is actually one of the worst excuses I've ever seen.

Also, I was always on China's side. I will be happy to say that I did not care for the Korean hype train, and have been cheering for Comrade San and Comrade Cool.

How is it the worst excuse?If he wants to listen to ingame sounds but doesn't like the language and he can find something similar which doesn't have that problem why should he watch it?

Personally I've just never really been interested in the chinese scene for some reason.Now I realise how stupid that was.

Because it sounds like a bullshit rationalization. It's akin to eating sushi for the first time and not liking it, then wondering what all the fuss is about.

What?It's more like eating sushi not liking it and not eating it.Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Yes, but an adult would try it 10 times and see if it grows on them. Studies have shown that some foods are an acquired taste and you need to try it about 10-15 times to appreciate it. A child would be like, "Ew sushi. I'm not eating sushi ever again."

Well if you don't want to eat something you shouldnt eat it?I don't really understand why I need to appreciate a particular type.All I say is "I don't like it" not "It is shit".

Very surprised why this doesn't seem like a good reason to people lol.


A mature person looks for reasons behind why they like or dislike something. The reason the first guy gave was very suspect. I've never heard someone say they think Chinese sounded bad, because it was "tonal".

So I can't say i can't stand XY language, if I can't stand XY language? Do I really have to point out why? What if I don't even know, maybe it's just annoying to me, or something?

Because when people don't give reasons or don't bother to examine the real reason they don't like something, bad things happen.

But can we really not distinguish a serious, and deep confession, like "I hate Chinese people", from something trivial, like "I hate the Chinese language"? Like, really? The former demands serious explanation, if you don't want to come off as a huge, racist dick, but the latter is like saying you don't like to listening to rock music. You can jump on that guy, bashing him with "OMG, BUT DEEP PURPLE, BRO, DEEP FRICKING PURPLE, HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE TRUE MUSIC???", but what's the point???? If he doesn't like it, then he doesn't like it, it's as simple as that, he just stated his opinion. If he would keep saying how rock music sucks and etc, THEN he should give some explanation, because it offends others.
