It's what their friends play and they haven't been playing games long enough (usually in their late teens early 20's) is usually why.

If they are older than that they are just slop enjoyers.

    here gamers older than that broadly fall into three camps: FIFA and mortal combat pilled ('game cafe' console games essentially), slightly older folk that are into their own youth games like WOW private servers, CS 1.6 and GTA: SA online, or slightly younger that are addicted to CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL or rainbow six siege. the first group is annoying, the second group is harmless and the third group is a toxic cesspool to be avoided at all costs. slop enjoying is spread between all of them but more prominent in the first group.

    It sucks, since I love DOTA 2, CS:GO, and Rainbow Six, but the community makes it impossible to pub. I just play indie games now with my friends lol

    the community makes it impossible to pub

    As someone who doesn't understand the proper strategy in playing LoL, I played it the way I play every game: to enjoy myself, not to compete; I used to 'jungle' as they call it, because I love PvE content and couldn't be bothered with the PvP content (yes, this was my thinking when I picked up LoL); a few games full of angry team mates later I realized this was not the game for me

    Yeah jungle is literally the most difficult position, which requires extremely specific timings based on a myriad of things (the heros people are playing, how well they are farming, if they have gone back to buy etc. etc.).

    There is a reason the old school pub method was just to farm as Master Yi and try to max level as quickly as possible. You don't have to worry about anything else. Meta changes too fast for me to care, plus, LoL is extremely boring compared to DotA. Either way though, both communities are intolerable, where even if you do put in the research and understand the timings, people will not forgive you for not literally being fucking Faker (which is an extremely old school reference at this point.)

    I really don't, lol, I heard the jungling word over a decade ago

    Edit: now I'm confused, is Faker a character?

    Faker is a player. Probably the best there will ever be to play league. He's been playing since the start and while other pros have retired to coaching, management, casting, or other things this guy is still winning world championships. It's crazy.
