im tired asf bout to go to bed and i read yammato thinking we were talking about LEC Yammato and i was like damn KC did a number on him huh

For some reason what Dom said at 2:30 about jungle just really sat with me. Switched to playing jungle a bit and thought I was delusional for seeing this exact phenomenon happen every game but its just true, everyone just thinks jungle is entitled to help EVERY. SINGLE. LANE.

About fucking time. Not a huge fan or hater of Yamato but it's so obvious he doesn't like the game. Watching him feels like a reality show where people watch somebody suffer. Hope he can enjoy variety or league becomes better and he can have fun again.

I quit 6 weeks ago, but for the 5 years before that, I played with chat off. I feel like the correct way to play this game is to treat it like a single player game that you play with 4 bots that vary in skill level between games.

I don't know how to explain this coherently, and I don't want to sound like a hater because I'm not (I like Yamato), but RATIRL and tyler1 could make it perfectly fine streaming variety games instead of League, whereas Yamato could not.

Today is a fucking great day

Once I started playing jungle I understood a lot of things and stopped flaming jungle, there are 2 big jungles rules that every laners should learn : tempo (we have to farm/gank/be efficient with our camps) & we do not gank/play around a losing lane (especially top cause they will 2v1 if even slightly fed)

League has the most amount of fun you can have in a competitive game and the most unfun you can have ,that's why people still play it when they hate it ,you chase that once every 5-10 games where everything is right ,that's why i think its best to play with a fulll 5 team of friends or flex and normals to actually enjoy the game nowdays and unless you wish to become a streamer to not bother to try to climb to gm and chall cuz its a waste of time (unless you get it really easy ) . And regarding the variety ,Rat used to have it the same ,he just kept streaming variety until the viewers acclimated to the new content (That applies if you bring anything else outside of gameplay or rage bait ) in yamato's case he for sure cant do variety with the personality that he shows on stream ,you on the other hand actually can hold a conversation about other topics like NBA or sports in general (which i would actually want to see from you ,since as a European nba information is always an interesting topic for me )

2:32 This is what Yamatosdeath is saying. Most people play it with a couple friends. They play in casual, not ranked, and they dont get typed to because they are playing with friends and screwing around to have fun. I used to do that , but all my friends on the game slowly walked away. If you play as a 5 stack and dont play ranked, it can be a fun experience because you know the people youre playing with and, sure you want to win, but you just have fun with friends. Streamers rarely will ever have this experience since they are always on the GRIND or playing solo rather than just playing casual/quickplay

Dom's variety streams were insanely fun to watch. I remember him playing Welcome To The Game 2 and it was one of the most enjoyable streams I've ever been part of as a viewer.

My brain read the title totally different

Love IWD. Always been a good dude since way way back 💚💚💚

Started playing some mid lane games and it really shifted from impacting the whole map to farming because you cant beat the enemy mid and trying to roam or splitpush the whole game.

Hard agree with dom about jungle, its crazy that in season 14 you get flamed for simply playing a role within the video game, like wtf is that? touch grass

as a jungle main I find it hilarious. play well get flamed. play bad get flamed. defend yourself get chat banned. (because you are getting reported no matter what, the auto ban system just needs any words)

Logging in after a long session I have to click the OK button like 10 times in a row for "A player you reported was given punishment."

I mean, thats real. Im an emerald peaker jungler and jezuz, the people are obnoxious. I still play this game mostly out of nostalgia since I grew up on it. I enjoy some league content and it always gets me into mood for playing, then the game itself takes the mood away lmao

I had to swap off of mid because i just wasnt having success/fun anymore, didnt really know why but that pretty much outlines it perfectly xD

Jungle is the scapegoat for everyone else’s mistakes in solo queue

There is too much varience and inconsistencies with the people you play with in league of legends. Queuing up with random teammates is a horrendous feature imo. What will make you stay or quit depends on your tolerance for these variences and inconsistencies besides that I think LoL's gameplay is fun and the changes it brings each season can be quite refreshing at times. It's the varience, inconsistencies, and the constant bad actors that are not worth the time.

Can you explain my diamond junglers that viktor cant follow their invade cuz I am perma in tower till like lvl 7 ? 😅😅

people dont understand how awful mid lane feels the last couple monthss ive quit since season start

Person does thing for insane amount of time. Person starts to dislike thing.

Lol, I've started this death spiral were i no longer care for ranked. I've grinded before and just didnt like it, peaked diamond and just said im done. Now I just play with friends and have fun, I never play alone not even ARAM. Chat off, no ranked, duo or 5 stack or nothing. I only have a few hours a week to play a games so im glad i still have enjoyment to devote this little time to a game that ive been playing since i was a teenager. but once my friends all leave this game, its over, i can see the end and my time playing league is drawing to a close soon.

He is back next week😂

the biggest problem with the game is related to actual in game experience which is balance and unnecessarily overloaded new/reworked kits that are nothing less than demigods with little to 0 flaws. you could say that community is toxic, griefers, inters, afkers, etc. but atleast for me this is a rare occurance, and as for toxicity dom said about, just mute - you have like 20 different ways to mute chat and/or pings. what i find more tilting than players behavior is disgusting, always slow and bugging client. i had only yesterday my client CLOSE ITSELF for god only knows what reason like 5 times, once in champion select in aram, forcing me to play champion i didnt want to. then you have the client bug the fuck out, because of milion pop-ups that you cant disable in settings. then, when you type with somebody in game using /msg, the messages sometimes like to appear late and/or not at all, forcing you to type in game while alt-tabbing. what i have a problem with are champions that are blantely over the fkin line too strong and balance team act like this is fine. like the tristana brought in the video is perfect example for that. its been over a year with tristana mid being a legit pick and i have a problem with that because mid is designed for mages/assassins. dumb fkin champion bullies everyone in lane and then outscales. she also has a strong 1v1 and is a great splitpusher. adcs in general taking over midlane is disgusting balance fuckup that riot doesnt fix. ranged champions in top, zac top, reksai top, camille getting overbuffed - all of this leads to unfun gameplay that makes people quit. corki, lucian, tristana mid shouldnt have place in league - their role is adc - diversity is fun, but its only fun when you can do that with every champion - having specific group of champions being able to occupy more than one role gives you unfair adventage in champion select and that applies to both pro play and soloq. not to mention adcs are the most unskilled type of champions, since there is little to no skill right clicking from a safe space, while not running out of dmg like assassins or mages do. yes, spacing and other adc stuff takes skill, but basic principle of adc playstyle which is rightclick from range, being surrounded by 4 teammates, is unchanged. before patch 14.10 adcs were played in EVERY single role, unless you exclude jungle because of champions like graves, kindred - who are considered junglers, but are marksmen nontheless. even then, top, mid, adc and support are occupied by adcs. after MSI riot decides to buff adcs even more for god only knows what reason - maybe phreak being adc main thought its time to stop abusing blantely overpowered janna and switch back to his main role, adc. then riot balance team gets bored and forces stupid champions like varus, tf, katarina, twitch, etc. to have more than one build - which on its own would be fine, but varus AP and lethality is braindead broken, ad tf is braindead broken, katarina in every form is braindead broken, twitch ad and ap is braindead broken. you might see a pattern with these champions - they are all released pre '200 years' era, and the reason riot makes them broken is to keep them up with the newly released, overloaded shits. instead of reworking them, riot prefers to overload their numbers and allow them to build diverse. this company is disgusting and as much as i love this game, this shitty balance/release choices must be adressed, because its been a problem with league since day one, and it has gotten only worse ever since 2020. hope the game dies/nearly dies so idiots in charge of all this, are gonna finally learn, that playing broken shit is fun for one side, but isnt for the other. there is only one of you, and there are 5 other people having to deal with braindead, unfun shit.

3:00 Big true about jungle. i was a plat/dia jungle main and people do just flame jungle, but IMO it's because there is a projection of blame because people don't want to take individual accountability for losing their own lane by being bad, it's easier to just blame the role that could/should impact lanes, but it's always the 2:39 blue side 1v1 death top laner typing "would be nice to have a jg" 😂 also maybe reinforced bc it is often auto-filled so people have been half trained to expect a bad jungler idk

See you in a week Yimit 😈🌂

KAPPA SEASON 14 IS AMAZING!!!

People always complain about the toxic community in league but then they don't just hit the mute all button lol it makes the game so much better

he will come back soon dw, they all say they are quitting and they come back

My experience reaching diamond for the 1st time last split was pleasant tbh. Def a lot of mental required for me personally to climb through high emerald and diamond (as a jungler), but I felt I experienced, on average, much less flame/typing than lower elos. Seemed most people were just, by comparison, quietly trying to win/only doing helpful pings/shot calls. Maybe I do mute all and focus more often than I realize, Maybe I'm lucky, but yea that was my experience climbing to d4 last split

see him some weeks later

why do the whole tweet like if you want to stop playing then just stop

Being a league streamer might be hard compared to being a variety streamer. It’s not hard compared to actual 9 to 5 jobs.

folkenberger won

4 hour stream at max 9 to 5

Based toplaner flaming their jg for no reason

I got worried that the goat YamatoCannon was dropping league.

need folkenberger toughts on this

He ll be back in two weeks max

Jungle is vulture role

I started enjoying league again when i stopped caring about rank, play the champs that I want, and play only 3-5 games max only a day. I guess when ur streamer this is not possible since u will get flamed.

Let me tell everyone how mental stable people, who dont stream, enjoy the game even with competetive mindset: - If we get typed, we usualy dont read it. If we read it, we dont type back or dont even think about it. - If a person types too much, i just mute them, no matter what they type. -If someone runs it down, we accept it as it is what it is because we are crazy and think that this only happends to myself and the enemy never gets inters. It always evens out. -If we are in challenger, we dont complain about master players becuse its like pick your poison, either play a game with master players in who arent on the level of chall or we just wait 45 mins in queue. -If you feel like to take a break, take one. -If we see someone doing a misstake we dont get mental about it. Happends. - Even if with a competetive mindset, rank is not everything, fun is still priority. Im not one the best player around this planet, my biggest achivment in the last few years was hitting diamond with a 70% winrate in 200 games from an account that bassicly had negative mmr. I just stopped playing because i felt like i played a lot and didnt give a shit on reaching an even higher rank. Could have hit master or dont, i wont find out and im not mad about it. Been playing since season 3, got chat restriced once in the entire time and i was like 16 at the time. Having fun with games is first a mindset thing, then everything else. I had times where i grinded hard in games for high ranks and was really passionate about it but it had a toll my mental health because of the amount of time i was putting in with out anything to be considered an equalizer. I get why people need a break from time to time and a view quit completly but its not entirely the games fault, most of the time its the people them self who are at fault, because they gaslight themself into thinking that in the past was everyting better, like old people. He mentioned, that he talked to other high elo players who are also considering quitting the game because of the issues they feel like the game has. I got to say two thing about that: 1st: we have this topic every year, for real, game still growing. Thats also due to the amount of different content, rito has put into the game out side the main game. The second thing is, if you are a toxic/competetive player and you talk to people about the game, who are you talking to? people who you are playing with as a party, people who are your gaming mates so to speak , people who are inside your own bubble, of course they have the same view as you do. For example, I would never even consider playing with people like yamato or for example tyler1 via discord because those people are just way too exhausting for me with their mental so its unlikly that a player like yamato would go to someone who is the exact opposite of him to talk about the game. He was probably talking to people like tf blade and dantes who are known to have similar mindset like he does, of course they have the same oppinion. He should have talked to someone like broxah, same role, higher skill level then yamato and someone who is really chill when playing the game. The last part is an asumption but i think im right with this one. If he did talk to people who are the opposite of him, i really would like to know, what they have said to him about his current views.

Every time i play jgl i either gank lanes but get behind on farm, or i farm and my lanes die to ganks. No matter what its my fault.

lets read it bro💅

I also quit two months ago because vanguard made my game unplayable. I still follow esports tho its still super fun to watch.

summit 1g was a csgo streamer . then he became a variety streamer . lost like 5k viewers but over time he has built a more safe viewerbase because now yhour not depending on one game that might die any time . now he averswages like 15k to 20k viewers on random games .

IWD reads like a middle schooler trying his best at popcorn reading

I give him 3 weeks maybe a month until hes back

For a community that denounces toxicity so resoundingly, people are really taking the piss out of this guy for simply sharing his feelings lol. This is not even a case of "matching his energy", there's a massive disproportionate hate wave on a lot of these league personalities for zero (Yamato, Elosanta, even Dantes rn for being a fuckboy). Even in this comment section people are foaming at the mouth to spread negativity whilst actively pushing for stagnation in the game's current state by discrediting the guy's thoughts with nothing but ad hom. Honestly sickening.

What happened to League though? I mean it definitely was more fun when I first started but I just feel like it is considered bad now because we've all been playing for a couple years, and the more you play the more you want to get into competitive and competitive just changes your mindset on the game.

Cool see you next month bud

its the ridiculous changes and people booming over nothing like dom said

These top level players needs to take a chill pill. They fucking grind the fuck out of a single game and they are surprise when they are dosed of league.

Im level 537 and have been playing LoL of legends since season 1. I havent touched a ranked game once in my life and only touch aram lately. I still have fun playing because i dont take it seriously at all. Its still impossible to avoid the man children who do take the game WAY too seriously, even in ARAM. When I get frustrated at the game, I just turn it off lmao. People need to collectively chill out. This never existed in the very early days of league. People would banter in all chat and actually congratulate each other for good plays. Pride has overtaken us.

5:39 What's wrong with having 1k viewrs? lol

are u climbing the ladder if u start in diamond? now to me thats starting with an advantage U wanna climb ladder I expect u mean from the bottom up. or from where ur placements set u on a mmr

I get flamed in every role i play might be a player problem though 😅

erm deluxe

The greater problem is that riot consistently removes unique interactions, items, and skills throughout the years while adding noob friendly features, making the game a real chore.

7:27 Person does thing and wants to be one of the best at that thing. Person has to put in WAYYY more time and energy into thing to do that. Person has surprised pikachu face that it was taxing to do so...... Thats how anything works. >.>

Man I almost had a heart attack; I thought it was the real Yamato for like 2 minutes before it registered. Squishy brain there for a minute or so. Man that scared me. I don't know who the fuck "Yamatodeath" is.

His statement on viewership is so on point. Bunch of viewers, but no one wants to play this garbage.

I play this game to make someone else hate themselves more more than i hate myself

See you back in 1 month buddy

I realized playing league increases my blood pressure and pulse, whether I play alone and don’t rage, or I get mad. I don’t have this with any other game. Game could be going perfectly fine, no reason to be mad, yet my watch says 122 heart rate. I have no other game doing this to me. Apart from the fact that 4 players on my discord play my main role, and I rarely get to play my best role, it’s just unfun. Initially I decided to quit because I didn’t want vanguard on my 4 months old pc. Now I stay away for health reasons, with every now and then playing a game on my old pc.

🎉🎉🎉

People saying their life got better because they quit League strike me as the same type of people who start taking vitamin supplements and start having a good sleep schedule, but think the vitamin supplements are the reason they're having better sleep.

Viewership has increased as far as pro play. Maybe not in the western world, but it’s increasing and by quite a large margin. The west is the problem.

Normal Yamato sounds so rational wtf.

I mean honestly he just admitted that he just smurfs because he doesn’t want to int. But it doesn’t make it any better for people who are actually in diamond and a challenger player comes in and takes their lp. Idk that’s just me I guess.

yeah i mean i dont like the way he acted esp during tournaments n shit but honestly good for him if he found a solution for a problem he has.

League of Legends honestly is a cancer cell of gaming culture nowadays. Im glad more and more creators are leaving that shit addiction

I feel bad for everyone because i stopped playing summoners rift yearss ago bc of similar reasons and i never made it past silver. ARAM is the best gamemode.

Sheiden gotta be a psychopath.

Finally

I don't relate on the game being not fun. I just play ARAMs and fuck around with the bulids

Honestly, I am kind of glad, that Riot introduced Vaunguard, which led to me uninstalling the game. That really helped me to get over my addiction. Now I only watch pro games from time to time and enjoy the tactical side of the game.

a lot of high elo players quit over the years, doesnt make sense to dedicate such a big part of your life to a game, that only makes you rage - and doesn't pay you for your time

I just play Arena and ARAM. Summoner's Rift isn't fun to play.

Good Riddance!

i think its a bit silly to assume that yamato would lose viewers as variety cus his gameplay isnt as notable as his personality, hes good and does flashy plays but his viewers watch him for his funny rages and flames plus personality and accent

I for one, as a diamond/low masta jungler actually enjoy both playing and watching league and won't be missing Yamato for a second. Maybe it's different in GM+ but i seriously believe the problem is with Yamatosdeath and alike, not with the game.

The superior yamato survived

The game just got less toxic!

Everyone gets flamed, a lot even, but if you find yourself getting flamed 80-90% of games, you are part of the problem

If Riot took like 1 month just absolutely TOASTING accounts this issue wouldn't be in the game lmao.

i stopped playing league sometime last year when i realized I have to be a babysitter in kindergarten , psychiatrist/psychologist that deals with people's emotional issues, depression, immaturity and ego, both a mom and dad, an older brother and sister, best friend and a motivational coach for people just so I can finish a 30ish minute game lol (and in case someone's wondering, that's not normal xD) and am definitely not returning since they want to force me to install spyware (Vanguard). I have to be all of the above for a game/hobby? no thank you. games are suppose to be fun and the community around it is suppose to be normal and not filled with emotionally stunted overgrown man babies that can't control their emotions. it is too taxing. people should realize like yamato that they don't actually like the game and that they might be playing it just out of habit and/or because of convenience (they're bored but don't know what else to do and league is just right there, one click away) and move on to something else in their lives (the "omg what will i do" doesn't take long to figure out). If it's your job sure, it becomes more difficult in a way, but what's the quality of life that you want to have, don't you want to have a job that you enjoy that doesn't take everything out of you emotionally and mentally? think people should really sincerely ask themselves "why am i playing this" because I guarantee, that the answer in most cases will not be "because it's fun". I quit 3 years ago as well (but then got back to it because I wanted to play with a couple of friends) when one day I realized league is also basically like being in a bad and abusive relationship: it's always toxic, the flaming doesn't stop no matter what you do and how you play that day (if you play good or bad) and after it, you feel taxed, maxed out, spent, depressed and like shit and that I stay out of habit and because I am scared of actually taking time away from it and finding something better to play/do because "I'll be bored" or "because I won't find anything better". it's insane. and when I realized I would exit a relationship that's that bad in a heartbeat because I deserve better than that, I took time off and tried to find a game that's actually fun to play or some other hobby and my life improved immensely. I encourage people to note how they feel before they start playing and after they're done playing a couple of games and to ask themselves "is this worth it".

idk why its ao hard for people to understand that when you play a game for 10 years, 10 hours a day, no matter what the devs do, the game is going to be stale and feel shitty.

Couldn't it just be people get jaded of the game? Playing the game on an off would have not made him hate it as much probably, not really saying its an option for either Dom or yd solo queue streams but just how the average person plays.

pic related

That’s not how addiction works lol. He’s going to just keep playing anyway.

the thing is, laners need an excuse why they are loosing lane and its because you didnt gank them enough. even though they are 0/3 on a malph top 5 mins in

I think rat is the only guy who can actually be light hearted and enjoy league lol

i myself after 10 years just quit the game becouse there isn't anything fun in playing it but i do enjoy watching the costreaming content lpl has been so much fun with fearless draft and even lcs is good not lec tho fuck that lol

OMG i THOUGHT IT WAS YAMATOSCANNON. fuck the other guy

The small jungle rant is crazy to me. I don't know why people keep blaming jungle for everything. Jungle can't be everywhere, maybe that jungle player had a bad game, missed smites happen. If I as a top laner, I screwed up my lane and thats on me. I play league ranked, becuase I enjoy the competitive aspect and playing out close games(even games that my team is behind). In the end of things, it's a game and all of us should be having fun. Good luck on the rift.

How you can name yourself high elo league streamer when u didnt get out from Diamond. I knew he hit challenger in s8 or s9 but didnt manage to stay there for obvious reasons and then i rarely see him in master games, most of time diamond games. Hitting a specific elo and staying in that elo are two different things. Just because u hit it dosent mean you fit to stay there sometimes. Diamond elo is a more than decent bracket but i wouldnt call it high.

the fact that people even watch yamatosdeath is just baffling
