- I tried to play league of legends after two and a half years away from the game. Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in.

Two new documentaries are currently in the works, but I wanted to make a few smaller fun videos in the meantime. Hope you guys enjoy!
sure we are! I also quit league yeras ago but after this video... it kind of made me hungry :D
Thanks for the vibe
Its good to have some filler videos in between the docs. By the way now that is a hot topic, would you like making a video about the LCS World's Exodus. That would be interesting. thanks gbay you are the goat.
I certainly did enjoy it. Cheers mate!
Dude anytime you wanna restart road to.... I am here.
“You could not live with your failure. And where did that bring you? *Back to me.* “
Sup Vars! :)
Chills
Even funnier with his previous comment on the channel saying that there are no people that quit league XD
HI VARS!! ❤❤❤
@@Comogulate I fortunately managed to. 8 years sober and never going back. I'm thankful for that everyday.
I would have paid an ungodly amount of money to watch him queue up his first game into a K'Sante top
@Ghandi kun K'sante is pretty much unbeatable in lane in every rank, but in higher ranks falls off after laning phase. He has like a 60% laning phase winrate in every rank and then a sub-50% winrate overall after laning phase.
@@Ghandikun I went 8-0 in top against a Silver in my literal first game as K'Sante, he's bullshit.
@@Ghandikun Yes you can
Would be the most dull stomp of his life against that champ
@@TabbuEme bro silver players are dogshit
love how it went from a light color palette with a happy gbay to immediately future gbay sitting in a dark room with the blinds down
it's the league effect
and in the end the light shines through the blinds
The league effect yep, everything just goes dark
Being sober from an addiction is like driving down a long highway. No matter how far you drive, you'll always be the same distance from the ditch.
Fuck thats a good one.
holeee this is crazy damn
insanely good analogy tbh
Help! I've fallen and I can't get out!
Where is the ditch? On the side of the highway? That seems like a bad place to put a ditch
Without strife, life is meaningless. We all need some League once in a while to remind us how good life is irl.
there is no bliss without agony.
You're right, Strife was a great game.
I mean that's definitely one way to do it. Looking back to when I played league alot vs now where I don't play anymore I can defienlty say it puts thing into perspective. I still like tft though.
@@samuelmueller2769 All I remember from that game was annoying my friend with some girl character quote. It was something ''toilet trouble'' :D
Existence, Is The Struggle to Exist.
Future gbay providing context while we watch past gbay is a really cool idea
A rather brilliant one I would say
Doing it the other way around would have been difficult
I'm gonna be a 🤓, and this isn't shade towards gbay or you in any way, but editing in bits from "the future" isn't really new or innovative, as many people who do videos in the same style as gbay do similar things when appropriate. That said, it is in fact a cool idea, and of course, much better than if he just showed the gameplay and maybe said a couple of things after that. 👍
One thing that surprised me when I came back to League after a longer hiatus (and the same thing happened in CSGO too) is how good the playerbase has become. Back then people in Bronze, Silver and even Gold were playing like 3 year olds. You could get away with anything. These days even in Bronze people are actually like... decent? They understand fundamental concepts of how a video game works? Now that's new!
probably because every single person has like 10 different smurf accounts
Thats how competitive games work. The Diamond of the first season is the silver of the 10th season. Best example for that is Fortnite (yea i know): Without an opinion about the game, you can clearly see how player standards went up. In season 1 nobody was able to place a single wall. Now they build a whole castle when you hit em once. Thats the same in league, yet league is way more complex. But if you see it mechanical wise even bronze players are able to do a clean insec on Lee Sin. I think you get what i mean xd
no bro the average player just has more understanding of league now.
Big true. I think for those of us that started in the early days of LoL, even the concept of a Moba was foreign to most people back then. It's a very popular and understood game type now. Back then in bronze, sure they were level 30 but they still hadn't even so much as seen this type of gameplay until a month previous to hitting 30. Playing a new season now is like a new call of duty coming out, everybody has played a shooter by now. There's a general level of competency these days. Even if they are new to league, they have played smite or Dota or something similar.
with many video games, us apes are advancing
I haven't watched a gbay video in 2-3 years since I quit league myself. I got hit by so much nostalgia watching this. Probably won't return to league myself but it's great to know gbay is still doing content, and apparently never stopped. If only youtube would promote your documentaries to me I'd watch them
I didn't even realise I was wathicng gbay till the very end. Oh man so many memories!
really love this style. feels to me like youve finally found your footing. its just so natural and seamless. video just feels really really good to watch you know. can see myself coming back to this over the years.
When he said "Let's go! I missed this game!" it hit me like a truck of nostalgia when I was just a little baby League player watching Gbay99 years ago.
Gbay this video kinda hit me hard. I started watching your videos like 10 years ago with your art of war series. I fell in love with your videos and played league religiously back then. I live in Germany and made friends across the whole country. Over the years we all kinda left because life happened, but still we stayed in touch. I went to birthdays, weddings and visited the kids of the people i met back then. Now after a break of around 5 years we all started playing again and we actually have a blast. Even if we loose (and we loose a lot lel) we still have fun and laugh together. I am so happy i started playing back in closed beta 2009 and met those people and also you! Seeing you enjoying it again kinda made me nostalgic and emotional. Love your content and you as person
The game is better than it's ever been, the community is worse than it's ever been. We've all been playing this game for 10 years with constant highs and really low-lows and most of us either can't or won't quit, thus leading to so much overwhelming frustration. This is still the same game we all fell in love with so many years ago. Loved the video!
Ahahahha better than its ever been LMAO
🤡
Well said, exactly agree!
yeah you can really tell who's new to the game based on how they talk about it. Because people have *always* been shitting on the game, it's devs, and the players in it since like season 3.
The game is inherently frustrating because it's not fun to lose but 5 people have to lose in every match. Then people take that frustration and lash out at whoever they think is responsible for it.
But just so we're clear, this game died when they released zed and the mid mage meta started shifting. If you joined after that point you've never played the actual good version of league.
@@creativecredence850 "The game died in Season 2" is what you're saying? Don't get me wrong. I've played since the beta, and loved Season 2 for what it was, but saying the game died then is just categorically untrue. It's grown quite a lot in popularity since, and there have been many seasons greater than S2. I barely even play anymore, but it's still much better than it was back in the day lol
REFRESHING perspective of league of legends! Love that you are seeing the fun in it and enjoying league for what it is. Major kudos to another banger vid from Gbay and GL on the rift
Gimme some of that Teemo content
Wow, didn't expect to see the best Teemo player here!
Well to be fair, this is experience of average top laner. I've lost so many games because the rest of my team can't help but int before objectives are up. There's nothing you can change in those kind of games.
Absolute and utter garbage?
There's that feeling when you see two superheros whose origin stories you know team up on screen and that's how I felt seeing you play league again, you learned things that we as the audience learned previously and it just makes us smile
I myself have started to play again 2 months ago, after a 2 year break, and as a Gbay watcher way back in the day (before irelia rework), I goddamn felt these emotions you were having, especially in that jax game. It ran a shiver of nostalgia down my spine and bring me close to tears. I randomly got a Gbay video in my recommendations after like 4 years of not seeing you, and knowing that you are still around was a daymaker for me.
you are a big cornerstone of positivity in the community, now just like then, no matter in which form you participate. Thank you man.
Honestly, this was so fun to see. You didn't seem like you wanted to burn your house or your teammates houses down, and you giggled a little. Awesome to see you come back even a little Gbay!!
That's a sign of maturity and peace of mind something lots of league playerers should learn
That is how it is at first, slowly it will become less and less fun like with every addiction
@@Sharigloo I mean, I think the entry mindset is important. Especially being a relatively new player myself.
Give it a month, he has shot himself in the foot and will look upon this as a very poor decision
Yeah because he played only 2 games xD
The return of Goldbay99. Welcome back, sir. What a joy to watch.
I can never say I'm happy to see someone return to league, but hey. I'm glad you're back nonetheless. I hope the time you spent away can teach you anew how to enjoy the game, make the most of it, and most importantly, have fun with it.
As someone who watched your old and new content religiously, it’s super fun to see you return to the game. Would love to see you make more content down this road if you feel inspired.
I was recently binging your older videos. As fun and entertaining as they were, you have come a long way as a content creator. Love your work goldbay
That is Enough Grass touching for you.
I love these videos because I’ve gone through something similar with league as well. I played from 2013-2016 a lot and then took a pretty long hiatus until last year. Now I’m back at it and a higher rank than I’ve ever been. The game as you said is still frustrating at times, but when it comes together it’s so awesome.
I also agree that it’s actually a good game for self-reflection and personal improvement if you have the right mindset.
Between Delta Fox returning today and your upload, it felt like I was transported back to my early high school days watching all of these - thanks for upload Gbay; I've watched you for long and it's nice to see drastic improvement in your attitude towards the game & also the quality of editing
It's a positive spark in between these tough weeks and this has been a pleasant surprise of an upload
That conclusion is bang on. A big life lesson I took from a youth playing competitive games is, when you fail, the only aspect you really have control over is yourself. Reflect, learn, improve. Carried that into the rest of my life and have seriously benefit from it.
Thing is that in the rest of your life there is no ELO system, so you can farm noobs endlessly.
What... whats this, a happy objectively positive league video... god i love this, i sick of people just doing negative shit and acting like league is just awful as they play their 5th game in a row; great video, very nostalgic
Bro. ¿Qué haces acá?
Idk, the game feels stagnant to me. I also stopped playing a few months ago and I don't feel like I missed anything. Personally I'd like to come back to a reworked game engine that allows you to use more than 2 processor cores, maybe some updated graphics and some actually new interesting mechanics. This years season was basically a QoL update and some balancing and that's it. Nothing more nothing less. I won't deny that I could still be having fun in the game, but not for more than a few matches a month maybe.
Some recommendations for other positive League content creators that I have been enjoying lately :)
For Fun Squad
The Sweats
TC Zwag (sometimes tilted but mostly positive)
and Woody Fruity
He just didn't play enough + even as someone who hasn't played for years, he'll still naturally be much better than bronze players who don't know the basics so it's gonna be the equivalent of smurfing.
Wait till (or more like IF) he plays a bit more to get somewhat closer to what he was (think it was high plat, so with 2years break + all the changes, let's say somewhere around gold rn) , and I expect rage galore. Wait till he encounters all the overloaded new champs added xD cause if that one 1st, pretty balanced & chill game was getting him frustrated, then oh boy...
lol LOL is trash and i have been sober for 4 years now
As someone who quit for a few years but watched a few videos from time to time and now came back to league I have to say the game is the same but better, excluding balance of course - balance is it's own topic which I can't even begin to cover in a comment, but coming back I realized one thing: League has helped me improve in a lot of aspects, it helped me connect with my classmates (who were also playing league), it helped me develop social skills (though some of them less than others), it helped me develop my language skills (became fluent in english), it helped me develop real time critical thinking and most important of all: it helped me develop patience and understanding, because no matter how frustrated I am at a teammate feeding, when I remember hard feeding and how hopeless I felt at the time, I just want to encourage them, to help them. Ironically this toxic community has helped me develop empathy, because people will flame you, because it will be such a negative experience to lose you will remember what it is like to lose, you will be able to understand, either while playing or after the game when reflecting on if what you typed in chat was really the best way to go about things, either for winning or just morally.
Man, as a player who started playing during beta on and off until now, I remember watching your very first vids way back then. This vid suddenly appeared in my YT feed, and it gave me a really nostalgic feeling.
I'm so happy you were able to play again! I was so heartbroken when you made your first video on the topic. Your videos always make me happy and get me excited for things I would otherwise never have known of or batted an eye at. Thanks for sharing this experience with us, it made my day, and may you have a wonderful life full of happiness.
I love to see you back again, you were always my favourite League youtuber. I think the documentaries were a wonderful way for you to broaden your content, but I really do miss these just "hey lets play league" videos. Don't get too invested though, have fun and thank you for making content for us :)
I had a somewhat similar experience coming back to league after a 6 year break and finding that, even with the reworks to items, champions, and even core elements like the map and drakes, not that much had really changed. Still saw a lot of the same champions going to the same lanes, playing the game in the same way, and even occasionally building many of the same items. Felt weirdly familiar, despite the completely new items and champions thrown into the mix, since often times even the most out there new champion shares a playstyle with some familiar ones. Biggest change was that the players somehow felt more toxic. Still, while I did have fun, I ended up stopping again after less than a week cause all it really did was remind me why there are other games i like more.
"Biggest change was that the players somehow felt more toxic." - I found out that I'm a type of person who dwelled on that as well. For far greater amount of scenarios I was getting more and more frustrated even when I told myself to keep my cool. It all changed drastically when I've started limiting the chat myself with an option that you can only chat with the people you party up with. This changed everything. The client right now even informs you that you're alone in your channel so nobody sees what you're typing. I can still vent out emotions by writing what I usually do (call that flaming, sure) but then I realise that's stupid. You can't imagine how much it decreased the amount of things I write, I started focusing on my game plan and on improvements I can make game to game. Reached the rank I always wanted to (plat) by slowly eliminating mistake after mistake.
When you don't actually see or experience toxicity it's easier to focus on what's imporant. Assume everyone's toxic. When someone spam-pings you it's a clear indication for me that this person's ping won't bring any noticeable value into the match. I can mute him. Also I tend to abuse the /mute all command where it just leaves you alone with the game. Coordinating the game with your teammates may be a bit harder, they can still see your pings though. If you see them not reacting to the plays you want to make, learn to let go. Take your time, farm, gain levels, optimize your gold and buildpath, then when the time comes team starts to commit to things, join them and try to play around your champ's strengths in the given moment of time to capitalize on the enemies (ult, summs, level advantage etc).
Awesome video Gbay. I used to watch your content years ago when I was super into League. Saw this video and the one before on my feed. I love the positivity. I feel exactly the same when it comes to failing, learning from your mistakes, and reaping the rewards of making those changes. Games that implement that feedback loop well are so great. Nice one!
Holy smokes, this was a great video. Candid, well edited, and skillfully directed content really scratches that content itch. Well done, sir!
Found the redditor. 🤓 You won the internet today good sir!
@@SongsAboutHappiness what was your point in writing that comment?
@@K2ELP bio checks out lol. Keep it moving redditor.
@@K2ELP Apparently it's a reddit moment if you compliment someone on the internet?? Lol
omg, I saw your profile picture and was like - wait what - did I write this comment? xD
I'm so happy for you Gbay, your videos are always a high point of my day. I praise you since you've shifted the focus of this channel into documentaries and it's something I take inspiration from to make my own content. You have a way of crafting your storytelling that makes them SO relatable. Thank you for your content ♥
You either die sober, or see yourself live long enough to return to League! I loved this video and hope you can manage to come back with a healthy relationship with the game
I always thought gbay would return tbh. When you quit because of wrist damage instead of psychological reasons, the hunger always remains.
Very simple video, definitely really interesting to see coming out at the current point in the game's life. Been watching you for a long time, you're actually part of why Irelia is in my champ pool now and seeing you come back with the same mindset you left with is amazing.
Half way in, honestly vibing to your reaction as I returned back after not playing since 2020 not long after January and I basically had the same reaction you had about the hidden names in lobby, the notification for objectives, etc. I really found that what used to be "off meta" picks to be fustrating to match up against, as they're now the ""meta""". I also didn't know what mythic items were..! Watching you play this really makes me happy to see that I wasn't the only one who actually saw positivity in the new changes...
I always remember having those tiring arguments with my friends over league where they go, "This is the worst it's ever been!" kind of arguments and how they wanted to switch to Dota or HOTS...
Honestly, it's hard to argue with those vocal complaints, and the reasons they come up with are always things where I go, "Well it used to be like that, but they tried to adjust X or Y" and... overall as you said, it's just frustrating to lose, and people use that as a fuel for fire to blame the changes for your performance.
I dunno how to word it without comments lynching me, but Riot's done a great job at keeping to what the core "League Of Legends" is like without completely throwing it into a generic MOBA, it's still a good definition of a MOBA game. The changes they made only encourage more playstyles for the player, you can play singed in most lanes except ADC currently, you can play shaco top, mid jung, support... There's just so much variety in the game much more than what was before, and yet.. Players will use statistics to predict wins, but, the game isn't a stat box, it's the player, the player needs to be good to get results, and thus, the player can choose the playstyle they can perform best on, and get wins..!
I play support Rell most of the time now as I go fill, and just feed constantly by dying all the time going in, but because my champ is so good for CC, and I get the item which increases damage for enemies I attack, I'm a focus in teamfights due to how much CC I do, and it helps cause their teamfights to crumble, and I help win the game in that way. I don't actually have to be good at other skillsets, such as map awareness and whatnot if I focus entirely on ruining their teamfights later on in the game...
People are just too.. "handbook" focused, I think, trying to play the game by the rules they've built in their internal handbook, and share a lot of criticism over decisions and such. Though it's hard to see how people would think, especially while in a game, you can't see the person's face, where they look, what they say, just the character moving on where the player right clicked.. So it really is just something Riot cannot fix, however they're being more enforcing of it, which I'm glad, I'm tired of games which don't have enough moderation after being marketed as a teen game. Imagine having a teenager play league of legends, and they learn all sorts of insults early on. Riot's games shouldn't be the ones the kids learn that from. (and before you say CoD, its rated as an 18+ game, they shouldn't play it lmao).
Thanks for my ted talk, just honestly blurting out my opinions in the comments as if anyone even reads these lol
comes back after 2 years
immediately queues top lane
the video format & style is really organic and its refreshing to see a video displayed like this, good job
Firstly it’s good to see you again Gbay. One of my favorite content creators from back in leagues hay day. Also I found it awesome that your skill retention was still on display with how you played (I also like how you were using Jax’s ult pre rework which is still something I forget today). Hope you keep the positivity and carve out a healthy part of your life for your enjoyment of the game and hoping to see more content from you.
poor gbay didn't realize they actually changed jax for the first time since season 1
It's so great and refreshing to see someone genuinely respect the work Riot does and enjoying the game. Because nowadays, the most league content I see, and the most popular ones are the drama and LoL flaws videos or posts. So most youtubers are scared of making videos about goods of LoL bcs they either will get less views or people will just hate on them. Thank you again, that was a great video and I hope your new experience in LoL was/will be great
Well, imagine those who didn’t take a break and all these “quality of life” communication update dropped while certain champions still dominate/too strong of course they’ll bitch at riot for not solving the main issue at hand and giving players these consolation updates that do nothing ingame.
Of course taking a break you can appreciate all that now but in the moment riots priorities where fucked and still is in some aspects.
@@Mhmmz Sane people already rage quited this game long time ago and never will come back, its game for kids made by people with mentality of kids...
@@Toos368 Wish it was a game for kids nobody tryna enter the steep learning curve LoL has compared to popular multiplayer games 😂😂 I see the game caused you great distress though to the point where your sanity was consumed and after finding it you want to warn others not to end up like you or some. Toxic community but it’s just a regular game 😂😂
@@Mhmmz LEARNING CURVE? what please??? This game is much much much much much more easier and harder to carry as solo then ever before - made for kids.
@@Toos368 I wish bro my friends playing cod and val and everyone in my school be making fun of league of legends kid thinking the game more complex then it is , happy it’s child play for you tho unc
i can tell you had so much fun with the intro and let me tell you gbay--made me smile glad you keep coming into your own.
I'm really happy to see this. I have watched your content for yeeeaaaarrrsss. I found you way back in the day from your Art of War series taking those lessons and applying them to LoL. You inspired me to main Irelia (until Gwen came out). I actually drove hours out to meet you way back when. I miss your gameplay videos, and I hope to see more. You've always been my favorite content creator, and I hope you don't burn yourself out. I'll be here regardless.
Ps. Play Gwen.
I'm very happy to see you play League again. It hurt back then knowing you had to leave due to health issues, but everything works out in the end. Wish you the best as always.
I feel this so much... I have been addicted to league (since S2) especially in tough times irl (break ups, school stress, job stress, family issues). League feels like the only thing I'm decent at and resilient in. When you phrased it that it mirrors life in way now I'm starting to believe I can have that attitude irl too.
Hot damn, I almost missed this upload!
After watching your videos all the way from Art of War-series, I still feel like your League-content is the League-content I liked watching the most. Thank you for this experience once again!
Looking forward to your next documentaries!
Really could relate with your experience. In the end, league brings a lot of emotions, positive and negative, and that's the beauty of it.
The day this video came out is literally my one year anniversary of quitting. 1 year sober wish me luck 💪
This was cool to see, as someone who just constantly plays patch after patch you never really think of how much has changed as a whole. I hope your hand is doing better, and maybe we get to see more Gbay gameplay in the future.
Welcome back brother, I did the exact same thing and moved on to other games. But I eventually started playing again and it's been a good time. I missed watching you every day.
Awesome video Gbay, happy to see you back on the rift after so long. Very nostalgic for me and many others I’m sure
Glad you're feeling happy and healthy from the break from the game. I think you were expecting too much of yourself this first match!
@@ExNihiloNihilFit319 y este de que habla?
@@LordValdomerol se bugeo youtube, este comentario era de otro video.
Road to diamond was one of my favorite series ever. Glad to see you back.
This video was such a treat to watch
Great video, didnt knew your channel but it was really pleasing to see your journey and how you approached it.
great video gbay, glad to see your Irelia in the rift again
That monologue at end was glorious Gbay. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Poor goldbay. Love you either way man it's been years following your channel and watching you grow
this is like watching a veteran athlete slowly remembering and gaining back his skills in what he used to do. Remembering what it feels like back then when you were young. It's a nice video. I hope you're doing great now.
Addicts are like a true Christian couple: "to death do us part"
I like having that self reflection halway thru game too lol It feels bad to go over things in hindsight but eh sometimes we push thru sometimes we get rolled.
You were one of the 1st CZcamsrs I followed when I also started playing league a decade ago 😅 I also recently came back sober and had the exact same rollercoaster of emotions. It was like an old friend with some new tricks up his sleeves, yet the fun of rediscovering the antics felt nostalgic. League is life , there will always be toxic people on any platform/game where there is competition, yet we grow and improve everytime we challenge ourselves with ONE MORE.
I had a similar experience a short while ago. Love that you’re back, Gbay
I loved this video. I don't play league really any more myself. However once or twice a year I will play for a couple weeks or so, and it is always a blast. Everything in moderation I suppose :)
And thus, the tragedy of Gbay the 99, who escaped the clutches of League only to willingly return, began...
Glad to see you back mate, kudos!!
Oh my god, this was awesome! Feels like I am back being 14 watching young Gbay Road to Diamond series and learning from your videos. Hope there will be more League gameplay videos, maybe a new road to Diamond? Anyway good luck in soloq Gbay and have a wonderful day
Feels just like the good old days watching your League Gameplay. The road to... series was really phenomenal. Maybe another go at the series to see what rank you can get after the long break?
As an addict, the moment I saw your elation and joy as you scream "I'm playing League of Legends again!" was the moment I knew 😅
Im so glad Bjergsen came back after 2 years of not playing a single match. Keep it up!
Over the last decade I never get tired of Gbay videos. Keep it up man, you're awesome ❤
oh my god I missed you so much!!!! I remember watching your completing league and road to diamond videos religiously. I just love your personality and the way you do videos. this was so nostalgic to me. Please make more gameplay videos, if that's your thing and as long as it doesn't hurt your wrist! :)
This was spectacular, as a fellow returning player I went through a similar experience just last month. Love the emotions you captured in this video.
F, you had a good streak. Coming back to a substance you were addicted to after a long sobrierity always feels good, but it does not take long to remember and experience why you left it in the first place, but by then you can't leave. I wish you the best, but be careful~!
This is such a well made video. I haven't played league for months but this video really reminded me of the times when I watched the road to diamond series a bunch of years ago. Maybe I should queue up for a game again too.
I remember watching your How to Stop Losing Streaks video a long time ago.
That video really changed my inner perspective and how I saw competition generally speaking at the time.
Nice to see that you have been going through awesome stuff lately.
i remember watching the daily ranked climb streams, feels like forever ago. crazy to see you back in the saddle lol
I played almost every single day from beta til like season 9, but finally had enough and walked away. I used to watch all your videos though and was blown away to see your name as I was scrolling through my feed just now. I was like “I KNOW I like that guy, but I can’t even remember what his voice sounds like” and had to check out this video. So cool to see you out there. Cheers for the memories
I always feel so uplifted after one of your videos
Welcome back to the game gbay :))
Babe wake up, new Gbay99 video!
Gbay you should check out Gwen if you haven't already, she's one of the newer champions that has came out recently and IMO she plays a bit like old Irelia. (The ult is borderline the same thing). I think Gwen is a ton of fun to play
Gwen is immune
I craved your road to diamond series. And I enjoy every single second you play League of Legends because u are just entertaining when playing the game ^^. You just know how to cut games in a way we that we can experience ur emotions.
Awesome video. I had a similar experience after a break. Now I only play on my days off and only 4-5 games and then back to real life. League is always gonna hold a spot in my heart, I just won't ever get addicted to the point I was in the past. Such a fun game.
Speaking as someone who plays league for 2 months every year then quits again on good terms (let me stress that, *on good terms* ) I think that this is probably the healthiest way to have a relationship with this game.
damn bro i havent played league like at all this week so i can relate
Just hearing the caster saying “your inhibitor has been destroyed” got me ptsd, 7 years sober and counting
This is my first time watching your video and I love It, hope you continue this league content without becoming toxic
Hi Gbay, I've been watching your videos for a while now and this was one that gave me a lot of feels. You've been one of the most reflective and relatable youtubers for League of Legends. I felt very happy watching you say "LET'S GO" and it brought back the feeling of your old gameplay videos. Thanks for sharing with us
I tried the same as you did 1 month ago, and my conclusion is:
That the problem with modern League of Legends soloQ is that the game ceiling is too low! which can sound good if your idea is bring on new players, but also made making tiny mistakes much more relevant and therefore the game became a lot more frustrating.
You are either ahead snowballing on tiny mistakes that you opponent will never be able to overcome with a "fun gameplay for any of you two"; Or you are too behind and need to play boringly safe (a.k.a do nothing) until a enemy mistake that you will win the game over and think "ouch.. just when the game was starting to get fun...".
I think that they tried too hard to make the game "fun for everybody" with the wrong take of making the game "easy for everybody", and they end up with "unrewarding for everybody"...
I'm only plat so I'm not good at the game, is this an opinion many (I assume you're top of the ranks?) challenger players hold? If I watch high elo players play the champions I play there's so much going on, the decisionmaking is so clean, spacing is on point, wave management is so good and I feel like there's so so so much to learn. I feel like the game isn't easy at all, but maybe if you're beating the absolute best players it might feel that way haha. What rank are you at right now?
@@oxey_ Why did u felt attacked by my history? lol
@@sonikblade i don't feel attacked? not super sure what you mean, just amazed at how people can feel this game is easy because I'm still really far from that level of mastery yet haha
I like how you showed a lot of the game you lost versus the one you didn't. You didn't just brush your first game off and show the other one where you did really well, but instead made a very good video where you reflected on it instead.
Glad to see you post another video about league one of my favourite Chanel’s
You came so close to greatness... It is a game to watch for the stories and not to play
I cant help but always think league is the single most balanced game I have ever played outside of board games like chess or pure chance games. I really never understand just like statistically how people think league is so unbalanced.
COME ON BRO YOU ARE NOT REAL
@@azzopnaw1749 league is insanely balanced and anyone who disagrees is just missing experience/knowledge
cs has entered the chat
@@NewMetaTV brother i literally played for 7 years wdym???????? I've been watching pros for 7 years and u tell me that stupid ardent censer meta is balanced????????
It's not even just ardent meta. Juggernaut meta and the motherfking funnel strat stupid sht
I occasionally find myself watching a new channel's video by chance and very rarely enjoying it. You are one of them. Thank you for filling my time with a positive time.
I jumped back in the game myself recently. And it's a weird feeling isn't it? Nostalgic, familiar, but also bittersweet. If you go on a long streak of not playing it and you come back you realize that if toxicity comes up, it's 100% coming from inside you, not the game. You also realize how you changed as a person and how it affects you in-game. I noticed myself when i had toxic outbursts i wasn't doing well. I think this applies to everyone going on the path of insanity, example: Shaclone.
Look how bubbly and giddy he is. Glad you are enjoying your experience, I hope your health holds up!
Narrator: "... It didn't."
League will always harbor a special spot in our hearts.
I'm happy to see you back, I loved your videos when I first started playing!!! (One note though, jax has a new ult and you might definitely wanna read it because you didn't get any of the active effects in that whole jax game but ily no flame)
I loved watching you go through the different phases. Great video. :)
Despite it being such a running Joke in our community that everyone would be better off without League, I'm happy that there are people like you out there willing to say that League is a good game, just that focusing on the wrong things will suck all the fun out of it.
