Every now and again, ‘League of Legends’ players face matches that can best be described as a cosmic joke. One such event was beautifully (or rather hilariously), detailed by user EquipmentBrilliant24 during their first ranked match of the season in the plat/emerald elo.

Articulating the Madness

  • It’s a comedy of SPAM pings, bot laners ‘running it down’ and failed surrender votes.
  • Despite the chaos, our brave summoner remained undeterred – his naut play didn’t waver, helping him climb.
  • User comments reveal a mix of empathy, and echoes of similar misadventures.

A Stage Set for Breakdown?

Underneath the surface level hilarity, there’s a poignant symbol of a system in need of a serious tune-up. “I don’t know what Riot is thinking with the matchmaking“, pronounces user lotec4 after detailing an incident that deserves an award for absurdity.

Entertainment or Frustration

For a spectator, there’s a certain schadenfreude in observing the increasing desperation of players just looking to enjoy their match. It’s like a B-rated cold war sitcom playing out on LoL. Who can resist a chuckle when reading comments such as “tactical nuke” from fellow player Tokishi7?

Keep Humour Alive

Laugh it off or let it out, the community holds together. Others like danh030607, prefer to study their peers – “This guy knows his level up timers“. Whether that’s said in earnest or in jest, is open to interpretation.

All said and done, it’s just another day in the League, a wild jumble of voices held together by shared experiences and love for the game. Here’s to hoping for fairer winds in the next season of ranked matches!
