This one’s a pretty short transcript, because everyone was so ragey, but I still figured it could be salvaged into the third edition of the League of Lobby; where only the toughest of the tough emerge from the muck of the exalted classy Riot community, to talk all the smack they’d be afraid to say in-game, where the watchful eyes of Riot and their peers in the tribunal could actually see them. So they take their frustrations to the blind safety of the post-match lobby, where the stars (asterisks) really begin to fly.
Context: It’s One For All: Mirror Mode at this point (AKA every single player plays the same character) and in this particular game, everyone got Lux (a froo-froo girly weezard), which was actually what most of my friends and I had voted for. She’s typically of the mage ranks, so her basic strategy is to increase the strength of her magic spells, and nuke enemies into oblivion.
When the opposing team noticed that one of us was immediately foregoing offensive items, and going defensive, they decided to throw down the gauntlet, and declare that person (jen) a “try hard” for daring to use her brain to attempting to get the upper hand against five of the exact same opponent. Naturally, this puzzled us, as typically the point of a match is to utilize the concept of “strategy” and try and best your opponents. Regardless, we immediately questioned their illogical frustration at us attempting to strategize a winning tactic.
And figure that, our strategy worked, and we won the match. Naturally, they were exemplary sports, and wished us good game.
Just kidding, they, rather one of them, was pissed off. Welcome to the League of Lobby!
