Hello there.

As many are aware, League of Legends is the most popular game on Earth. It’s played by more people monthly than receive adequate health care in impoverished nations and is always a hot topic on every single form of social media outlet available.

Its only natural that a wealth of information — and misinformation — would appear concerning the title. And that’s exactly what I’d like to talk about.

And by talk about, what I mean is tell you about some of the most amazing facts that can be known about The World’s Most Popular Game.

Through extensive research, I have collected these various fragments of information in order to display them, here

Today

Just for you.

So sit back and buckle up. Prepare to have your mind blown, and your brain more blowner.

Fact 1: League Does Not, In Fact, Cause Cancer

You hear it everywhere. Rumours from your friends and other players. Suggestive whispers online. The media seem to hint at certain things, but they appear too afraid to talk about it outright.

You turn to Google for the truth, and come across results just like the examples above. Ultimately, you, like many others, are still left wondering:

“Does Bruno Mars Is Gay?”

And also

“Does League of Legends Cause Cancer?”

Over the years, this has become a highly debated topic. Much anecdotal evidence has appeared, with thousands claiming the title had caused them to develop cancer, along with a host of other health complications.

Recently, there were supposed images of cancer cells leaked online bearing an almost uncanny resemblance to the familiar logo.

Naturally, these findings did indeed confound scientists. Many were left speculative and doubtful.

“Could a videogame really cause cancer?” they asked

“Could the virtual really affect the physical?” they pondered

“Could it be Jeremy stealing my packed lunches from the fridge?” One particularly agitated and hungry scientist asked.

Science, unfortunately, did not hold all the answers. In order to provide some, many avenues and ideas were investigated.

Testing occurred around the globe. Almost every single scientific technique and subject was on the table.

No matter how……

Unseemly…..

Drastic measures had to be considered.- credit CEO Trucker Group

The effort paid off however. After many, many hours of rigorous testing and research, Science finally gave us an answer:

“League Does Not Cause Cancer”

Players around the world can rejoice, the biggest medical dilemma in recent years has been solved. You’re welcome.

We did it guys. Science wins again.

Fact 2: There IS A Tier Below Bronze

For those that enjoy playing League in a more competitive sense, you will be aware of its infamous Ranking system.

From national level players in Challenger all the way to the dribbling baboons that inhabit Bronze, players can determine where they fit in the skill hierarchy through testing themselves in ranked matches.

Despite what the official site will tell you, however, there is actually a tier below Bronze. And you are most certainly in it.

Luckily , the very supportive gaming community that has sprouted around League will not only make you aware of it, but will kindly remind you almost every match to make sure it doesn’t slip your mind.

In the (slightly paraphrased words) of my good friend Richard Attenborough….

You should probably get comfortable. You’re likely to be here awhile.

Fact 3: Yasuo Is A Fun And Balanced Champion

He is. Honest.

No, really. He is.

Seriously.

Lol jk have you seen that windwall nonsense? Never mind the bloody true damage and crit he has in-built too.

Lol what is “ranged damage?” — credit League of Legends boards

And the tornado and ultimate wombo-combo.

Oh, and the super chase down skills.

Poor, poor Lux — credit Gfycat

Man what bullcrap where they smokin’ when they made that thing eh?

Fun and balanced champion my ass.

Fact 4 : Flaming And Salt Make The Experience

One of the biggest complaints about League as a whole is the community. Specifically, how utterly toxic it is.

In a game already sporting a significant learning curve — the average League player themselves having not managed to climb up far— there is also a distinctly large amount of salty attitudes and inflammatory speech prevalent within the game.

Many gamers have stated this has either thoroughly put them off playing the game at all, or muting their chat and pretending they are playing alone with mindless bots for company.

A sad state of affairs indeed.

Let us consider, for a moment, a typical game of League as an uncooked steak.

Now, what we have is a delicious slab of meat with plenty of eating to dig into. But it is unfinished. We still require additional ingredients.

And this, my friend, is where your wonderful team mates come in.

They supply the salt to bring out the flavour, and then the flaming to sear that magnificent steak to perfection.

Now to be sure, too much of either of these can ruin it.

A healthy dose, however, can bring out the tastiest online experience you’re likely to find anywhere.

Yes, just like that — credit Steven Raichlen

So I say to you this: Don’t tell the waiter to hold the salt. Instead, grasp him firmly and state “I wouldn’t be feeding Bot if our team had a competent support and a Jungler who doesn’t counter jungle himself”

Enjoy the flaming and salt. Embrace it.

It’s all about a change of mindset.
