The worms crawl out.
I’ve played a _lot_ of aram games and you should never surrender - especially with the changes over the last couple years you’ll either lose naturally or win a team fight and win

The most annoying loss is having no turrets and a shaco or twitch on the enemy team where you have to have at least one person babysit the nexus

I only surrender in ARAM when I determine winning will be more obnoxious than just moving on to the next game. Certain comps simply cannot deal with Teemo mining every corner of the bridge.

if your objective is to win as much as possible sure but if its to have fun then some games just aren't worth it

Yeah but when you see the loading screen and think “welp were hosed” you either lose in like 12 minutes or have some amazing turn of fortune

It’s not fun to get annihilated in 12 minutes but it’s like 12 minutes.

So fun that they removed dominion, 3v3, never developed bot games , never made doom bots a permanent thing.

There is literally no place to just have some chill games, it's either go all out or get hosed.

Riot doubling down on the hyper competitive mentality and telling every casual player to pound sand is unironically the biggest thing I loathe about this game.
So many people I know IRL gave the game up or won't touch it to save their life because of this poo poo mentality.
I could understand on a game that was ALREADY just a hyper competitive grognardfest....but league had options before?

I used to play on PC like a decade ago, I recently got into Wild Rift and I assumed Dominion and Twisted Treeline were just not ported to phone yet and were coming in the future. :smith:

ARAM is the chill game mode, unfortunately, and I guess URF mode or Doombots or the other limited-time games. I only play ARAMs nowadays, and I seriously miss the more complex game on Summoner's Rift, too. My dream game mode would be 5v5 with some of the resource changes from ARAM so games don't go much longer than 15 minutes.

I played a lot of Pokemon Unite back when it was released, and although I don't really recommend it -- the developers don't really care about supporting a proper competitive MOBA -- the matches have a 10-minute time limit that seems almost the perfect length for a game like this.

Nexus Blitz almost worked for that, but the matchmaking was dogshit and mini games at times felt too swingy, which I guess they have to be with 15 minute game times

Smite's Arena mode is great for this. 5v5 with buffs, get to play whatever you'd like with backing and shopping. But it's still pretty chill and fun.

Assassins are terrible in that mode though since in Smite assassins are junglers and if there's no way to get flanks they have a pretty rough time

Nexus Blitz is so close to the perfect mode for me. If they tightened up the minigames a bit, for example not allowing the targets you have to kill in some minigames to be in the enemies protected jungle and such, I honestly don't think I'd ever go back to SR if it was available permanently

I guess the question is what specifically is so bothersome about this, more than some vague frustration about Tryhards In My Games. If it's people whining in chat, just mute all? There's enough tools to curate your experience in the game now that this comes off like a pretty self-imposed issue

No you start at 2, but you gain a checkpoint for every level above 2 in the previous season. So if you’re honor 5 you’ll start at 2-3 and hit 3 almost immediately.

I started playing League of Legends after watching the World Finals, and I'm almost at level 30 and getting to play my placement matches. It turns out this game is pretty cool, and I shouldn't have avoided it for 12 years.

Remarkably, in unranked games I've had more positive experiences with others than negative experiences. I can't wait to see how that changes when I'm in Iron or Bronze.
