The insane thing, is the Chinese viewership numbers were probably 3 or 4x that, maybe more with EDG in the finals (and winning)

I was terrible at DOTA but I decided I would give League a shot since my kid likes it- something to play together. I was pretty impressed with the introduction as compared to DOTA; there is some handholding that allows you to ease into it. Got up to level 8 and decided (against the recommendation of my kid) to play Blind Pick to try out PvP. I was feeling pretty good about the game. I mean even when my teammates were not bots, I was usually leading in all stats.

So, I had just purchased Lux as my first support and wanted to see if being a good teammate would help in low level PvP. First match, I go bottom and no one comes with me so I am trying to not get my shit shoved in 1v2. Finally Dorian comes down about 5 minutes into the game and repeatedly YOLOs. He ended up going 0-25 and bought only a shield. Another teammate went 0-14 and only bought a ring.

The opponents, on the other hand, seemed to be coordinated and communicating. They were not noobs. It was brutal and I guess I was bound to have my faith in humanity tested sooner or later.

Playing this game with someone else will make the experience better but LoL is one of the most toxic online experiences you can choose to endure.
The lower levels as you mention will be super rocky as well. Expect a terrible time. It's brutal and punishing, not fun at all.

However, I do enjoy the Mobile experience. It feels more modern with the quicker pace of play & the 3d models at champ select/login.

At this point If someone asked me about LoL I will steer them away from actually playing the PC game. I get my Runeterra fix with Wild Rift, TFT, & LoR. And I watched Worlds for LoL but no way am I playing it again.

Well, not that it is any better, but I would play DOTA since I at least sort of know their Champions but their MM is complete shit. LoL I have been able to get into games quickly. DOTA wait times are terrible.

Thing about low account level blind pick is theres actually a shit ton of bot accounts that people sell which is what those characters sound like, they just join games to get exp and sell them once they can get into ranked

I'm an ARAM only player (yuck!) at this point and even there the difference in the quality of games between my main and alt account is astounding.

Same here. I don't like "real" competitive PVP in my old age anyways, but it's especially shitty in League. I just like the 'fun' game modes. I only liked ARAM on the howling abyss bridge though....I don't like playing it on Summoner's Rift. I miss twisted treeline, too.

I really only play URF now when I feel like playing League. Shaco and Illaoi in URF are a fucking blast.

TT had a couple sweet experimental items. GP10 health item that turns in to AD item with health, CDR, armor pen and SPELL VAMP. Sign me the fuck up!

Yeah just starting out in this because friends / family are into it.

- I tried like 8-10 games in beta, never played again, but miraculously recovered the account
- I find all MOBAs insufferable except HOTS (but willing to give this another shot)
- the only characters I can tolerate in HOTS are low complexity, long ranged, like Sgt. Hammer or Azmodan

What characters should I try in LOL?

Also wow. This checklist when starting up the game is like a new Boy Scout Motto. The community was that toxic they had to roll this out? :p

Save yourself the trouble and steer clear.

From reading your post league is going to eat you alive.

I'm still playing at least a game or two with my kid every day. I haven't found it to be that bad although I do rage sometimes when I come up against a matchup where I feel like there is nothing I can do either because of the champion's abilities or they're a smurf/just way better than me.

You really just have to try to be zen about it when you're getting your shit shoved in. I find, playing with the kid, we can even have fun losing if our attitude is right and sometimes you can even pull out a win when you're losing the team fight war.

Every game is different, you can't always be the carry if a jungler is camping you all game or something. Sometimes you just have to weather the storm and let the rest of your team carry. Sometimes you have to team fight together, sometimes you have to split push and say fuck your team, get objectives.
