This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

League of fucking legends. Why.. The repetitiveness and toxic community especially.. Just dont get it.

I don't understand the popularity of it because I don't understand how people even get into today. There's so much going on with dozens of characters it would take months or even years to memorize everything. I played Apex on and off since it released and I feel it is starting to become the same thing. Every time I play now I feel like no one who has ever played before would be interested in the game.

Competitive (e)sports are usually repetitive to a certain degree. I wouldn‘t call League very repetitive anyway. It’s mostly the same map, yes, but football and chess are also always on the same „map“. With 160+ champs and their interactions and the strategizing aspect of it, I never felt like a match was going like another.

The players are mostly insufferable (like in other competitive games) and League‘s too much of a timesink due to average game time.
