From Broken Mess to Global Phenomenon: The Story of League of Legends
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 12. 2019
- League of Legends wasn’t always a phenomenon.
It wasn’t always a game that defined an industry, a genre. But it grew, little by little, from a niche community wearing Teemo hats to a force greater than any of us could have predicted.
It has been a calling, a community, a crusade.
So whether you like to pack a stadium to scream at the top of your lungs, or hang out in late-night Discord calls talking smack and taking names -- here’s to you, Summoners.

You mean... From broken mess that nobody plays to broken mess that everyone plays.

Lmfao
TRUUUUUUUE
I've never been so offended by something I 100% agree with
Honestly it is well balanced for the amount of champions except for the dead champions but even they can be used well
"Champions can fall, Gods can bleed... where were you when the West rose up to conquer the champions?!" The moment I realized that maybe those rousing speeches are not only a thing in fantasy and movies, but something that you can feel making your emotions boil in real life too. Seriously my favorite caster call ever
Still a little upset about that baron shot call from SKT but the caster call was legendary. Seriously though why go for baron when it’s your opponents ONLY win condition remaining 😞
Cringe
@@mattkeller5913 high pressure and adrenaline rushing can easily made you make a "Bad decision" on the spot.
No one is perfect, not even faker
Hello this is trevor 1. This this is Trevor 1
This call is fine and all but what about Phreaks "QuaAaAAadra Kill"

Lmfao, no rest for the victim.

I mean Ryu chased Faker down

TheScore Esports: League video? Better add *that* clip.
Ryu: Aw shit, here we go again.
Me: I'm just happy to hear Likkrit get some attention again.
I didn't expect to see Likkrit tbh I was surpised
Likkrit the toxic hypocritical player? He should be forgotten
@@BrunoRibeiro-st2qd Explain? The upsets he did at Worlds were phenomenal for the less represented regions.
He diz a big motivational speak on stage but after the worlds the got banned for being a fucking toxic player in soloq. Thats why he ended his career
@@BrunoRibeiro-st2qd Ah yes, discredit someone who led the first wild card team(and only iirc) to getting out of groups because he flamed in soloqueue. Pretty sure most of the GOATs of league have been toxic, especially before they became pros(including faker).
I remember that moment when Faker cried, the chat just starts bashing on him. They don't even have a shred of respect just because someone lost.
bronze and silver,not even faker can carry them.Faker deserves all respect in the world for taking so much hate and not backing down at all.
the fact that fans just keep on hating pro players just by making mistakes is really toxic.
It's Twitch chat, what do you expect?
There may be bash, but I can assure you I was happy because SKT lost. Plus SKT fanbase have the most arrogant and toxic fanbases on the world pretty much on par with TSM toxicity. And to be fair, any competitive game including traditional sports will be fueled by toxicity.
Funny you say that because now Twitch chat spams AngelThumps whenever that clip is played.
I have quit the game way too many times... but then Worlds comes around and the game calls me again, it's like coming home every time.

Thank you LoL, you might not be a perfect game but you're always that friend i can come back to.
Feel the same, been playing for 7 years, watched the game grow and change, quit a few times.. but always came back in the end
Yes yes, been here since S2. Never have I ever thought about quiting once. I will follow this game and company till the day I die.
Yeah, I quit league like 4 times, always come back. To me it's not like that friend I can always come back to, it's like a drug I can't seem to quit.

Remove “the”. And in my opinion this comment is going to be S tier. Also removing “the” will lead to better grammar.

Dude I was exactly like you, I haven't heard of mobas and was more of a role playing, story mode, single player type of guy. The last game I bought before my uni friends introduced me to league was The Witcher 3, every big title game released has been white noise to me now.

I used to watch my older brother sometimes playing league even before I ever started playing. I had kinda learned some basic principles like towers and the Nexus and I remember getting a little hyped one time that him and his friends made a come back. I didn't know what was happening but he was yelling a little bit so I did too. I mean I didn't start playing league till another two years later but Ill always remember that.
*When you realize*
League of Legends is basically a Team Game when you play for Fun by Winning while making your opponents suffer, and is some cases, make your teammates suffer as well
Every time you que up you're flipping a coin to see if you're going to have fun or suffer.
ive been watching league for a while but never really got into it. I quit overwatch to play league and now im 10 times more happier than i ever was playing OW. Loving the game, loving the characters, loving the content, even though some of the community can be toxic even if youre a new player, generally most people are very positive and are helpful.
Great to have u aboard xD
A none toxic fan?!
Oh god . . You must be preserved

"Faker, What was that!?!?" Still makes it here haha
When i started playing league, i hated it. But now im 7-8 years into this game. Memes and all, broken, whatever, all those painful losses and wonderful wins, i love league.
This game wouldnt still be here if people genuinely didnt love it
TRUE! ive been playin for a long time aswell and i feel kinda the same. (expect that i loved it from the beginning :D)
raw emotion in Deficio's shouting at 24:26 never fails to gives me chills. I think this voice clip is such a testament to just how passionate people can be about these games.
Watching this and remembering all the time i was playing since season 2 makes me tear up..
CAN RYU EVER GET A BREAK? LMAO
Years from now we’ll look back on League and appreciate just how much it’s given to the esports community and the gaming community as whole. Hell, we’re doing it now and it still has so much to give. Thank you Riot for this beautiful game.
also thank u riot for making league ubalanced and still make vlad OP
Talon try playing OW lol. Much more unbalanced than League is. Don’t get me wrong I love OW and League tho.
@@Monke-fj2qz i stopt playing OW after S4 the game got completely unbalanced and dumb not even league has reached that level
Barf.
I started playing in Season 1, and I always forget how small the first Worlds was. Looking at it now, it blows my mind.
Back in 2011, i saw dota 2 came out, didnt play it even thouh the computer cafe owner is playing it, so i and my friends continued playing dota. Months after i saw a new game called league, some of my friends from highschool were playing. I got hooked on, realized the game was easy to understand compared to dota, which it took me years to play decently. After that, i played for 6-7 years, casually, always missing the challengers rank. As some of my adult friends came back playing games due to college, they switched to dota 2 because of dota 1, i also switched to dota 2 as league gets boring for me because of the juggernaut patch.
League is a good game. But as i came from warcrafts dota, I would say that for me, i still like dota 2 better. No offense intended, i still play league when the nostalgia hits me, and because of it i get confused because of the spells, i.e(flash, dash, blink), map layouts, like how the spaces is so big. Now my Old account is bronze rank, i feel like I can go back to playing near challengers rank, but i dont want my skills from playing dota 2 to lose, because the game is so hard to play good at especially on ranked immortal bracket. League has a easy to understand guide for new players, which dota 2 lack, leading to people calling it a dead game.
*Im really happy to be part of this Community REEEEE*

Hmmm my only thing about this documentary was that it focused a lot on the eSports side of the game. I thought this was going to be a more behind the scenes look and interviews from the developers, more about how the game came to be about. But with the channel being eSports centric, makes sense
Watch the documentary on Netflix.

Been here since early ish season 4. Remember discovering worlds and watching replays of skt vs royal club as the skt dynasty ( who nobody could predict at the time) was just starting
Idk if someone mentioned this already but putting Ashe in the thumbnail reminds of the very old tutorial in LoL where every summoner starts with Ashe and legit the first champion every old player started out with.
I think the combination of League and Twitch was essentially the catalyst that brought Esports into the mainstream. You may despise the game, but it solidified the industry we all love.
Now we at the point where fools like me can start high school teams (which I'm doing btw)
Do you use the same name in game? Really want to hear casters having to yell that out.
best of luck my boi
Yoo I'm in a high school league too 🤙🤙
I'm the adc of my high school, best of luck and I hope to play you in the future
i have a team as well, but i kinda scraped the idea of us going super high
U guys are on fire with the uploads! Thank You!
This game has changed so much in the ten years I have played. it's crazy. This brought a tear to my eye. not gonna lie.
"they are not afraid of change"
DoTA2: yes
Is this garbage?
Dota 2: Yes.

@@mmaforever594 better you stopped, toxic players are not welcome in that community :) best players persevere and find new strats. If you can't, do your job, quit, go somewhere you feel more comfortable, but stop calling anything about a game trash...you played it, so respect yourself by not calling dota a trash after you quit :D after all you did not play a trash. I can call league whatever after quitting it, not touching it for 3-4 months, moving to dota, but that game got me caught up for 4-5 years. :) It's different, these games evolve, you don't like it, bye.
@@mousedubz6746 well said
The beginning of this video just gave me goosebumps! And it barely even started yet!
I haven't even played League for four years but still watch the tournaments and know several friends the same. It really does mean a lot to people that play or have played it even when we quit or get annoyed with the changes it keeps a lot of loyal fans.
Even if you don't like league of legends you can't deny how impactful it's to the larger scale of eSports community as a whole. Riot really has shaped how tournament organizers plan their events.
Nice you make me almost cry with your words
I can't imagine any company pushing forward Esports. Maybe there were some but idk if they would have pushed it as hard as Riot has.
The Papasmithy interview makes me cry a lil :'c I love that man
I saw Phreak, and heard his voice again. I remember myself watching a Riven Champion Spotlight on a $10 brick phone because I saw someone play the champ in a public game lounge when this game was still on free play... Gosh, time flies so fast.
Been playing since 2013 and while I took a hiatus for schooling, I'm back and I still love the game.
I'm hoping that 2020 will be the year for the LMS/LST (now called PCS) to step up and be a contender at Worlds.
the story of league of legends. More like "The Story of SK Telecom T1"
dude they are only part of like 1/4 of the video, and obviously they will get that long "documentary" about skt cause they are a dynasty (previous to be exact) and the league community can have clout in that statement "SKT the gods of league" and tell that to others to brag or inform.
Whereas would u like to see M5 getting featured here cuase they revolutionized the game back in season 2? no

-will Korea prove the world that their back as the top region international
-can China take back the Worlds Championship again and prove their still the best region in the world
-will MAD continues to rise international as they proved to be EU's new King
-will NA makes a difference now and be on the same level of the other three big regions
-can C9 makes another run and makes it to semis like they did in 2018
-can smaller regions prove the bigger regions that they were not "losers"
-will DK became the 2nd back to back champ, T1 be a 4 time World Champions, FnTC and FPX a 2 time World Champions or will there be a new team to register their name on Worlds history book.

League is the pionier of my life. It was where i shared great moments with friends, where i meet my girlfriend, now my wife. It is in my life for almost an everyday presence for 10 years and i even now that i am only a broken shell of myself and i dont perform as well as i used to it will always be a part of my life
I havent played the game seriously for years, havent played any ranks or normal games, just occasionally coming back for new gane modes like urf. However even tho i dont play the game that much anymore i still support everything that riot brings us, new games, now series and so much more.
