To be honest the gaming environment is very toxic. I’ve been waiting years to play (as I hadn’t had a computer to play) and now that I can I get put against people 5 times my level (I’m level 27 and just went against a level 174, 173, and 171 all in the same guild). It’s really frustrating to solo que as you get stuck with a group who all suck or you get stuck with someone cocky who just spends the whole game calling you bad (also just happened). I was very excited to play, but now I don’t really know if I want to even have it on my computer. The “statistics” of the game say you should have roughly a 50/50 shot at winning a blind pick but I know I have lost at around 75/25. I’ll be the first to tell you I’m not that great at the game, but it’s so discouraging and difficult to get better. It’s time consuming (watch videos and pro matches) and it’s nearly impossible to have an original play style. You have to copy someone who figured it out first to even have a chance. Then you attempt to put into practice what you learn and your own team will begin criticizing you because ‘you’re the whole reason we are losing this game’. I’ve been reported for feeding because I had 6 deaths as a character I’ve never played before. It’s hard to enjoy, I probably have better uses for my time.
The only people who will be good at this game are kids who don’t have responsibility and the very small amount who naturally pick up on it. If you have a job (like me) and go to college (also me) good luck. I know I don’t have time to delve into it. Furthermore if you want to win at this game you have got to play with a team. Otherwise you’ll end up on the losing side.
