Weapons that break are a good thing in video games.

It is such an underrated mechanic that I wish more games would implement, especially games where you're supposed to explore. Take Skyrim for example, there's a million different unique weapons and armors that you can find, but a guy like me is never gonna use anything but whatever has the best stuff. Because of this you have to make loot drops scale with player level, but if items break, you can have players find high level stuff early on because it's just gonna break.

Jynxi Needs to Play Quickplay if He Wants to Get Good at League of Legends!

I am so sick of seing Jynxi spam ranked games of the same champ in the same role over and over. It is such a terribly inefficient way to learn the game. Jynxi needs to start working smarter rather than harder.

What Jynxi is doing is the equivalent of a guy going to the gym every day doing nothing but bench press, and being confused as to why his overall physique isn't improving. In other words he's foolishly slamming a dull axe into a tree instead of sharpening it first.

If I were Jynxi, this is how I would get learn the game as fast as possible.

  1. Have an assisstant make a list of every champ, find a streamer who is good at that champ, and have them coach me through 1-3 games of that champion (in their standard role), until I demonstrate that I understand the champ to a good enough degree that I know how to play with and against it.
  2. Before getting into a game with a new champ, I'd read through the The League of Legends Wiki page for that champ
  3. Do quickplay games because they take way less time. The game itself is accellerated, and the draft phase is skipped.

That's it, just 3 steps. If you're not a streamer, just new to the game, you could copy this method yourself just without all the coaching. There's 173 champs, so depending how fast you learn I reckon this process would take between 90-200 hours. And what do you get out of it:

  1. Familiarity gaming on mouse and keybouard. This is the biggest thing. Look at Jyxi play, he;s trying to get mechanically good at Yi, but he has to look at his keybard to press a button sometimes. That's just taking skills completely out of order.
  2. Familiarity with every chamion
  3. Familiarity with every role
    • those 2 combine to basically mean familiarity with League of Legends
  4. Knowledge of which role and champions I actually enjoy the most. For all Jynxi knows, Nautilus and Rakan are his favorite champs. But with how he is going about this game he will NEVER learn that, and that's sad.

To tell the truth, I am not really a Jynxi fan. I am a League of Legends fan who wants Jynxi to succeed at this game so that it will gain lasting popularity, and I am very frustrated seeing the careless training regimen he has been given by Dantes, because its not training, its just playing, and that's a foolish way to improve.

I would greatly apprecciate it if ya'll would help get Jynxi's eyes on this post. I've already seen him talk about quitting this game, he needs a new approach. Thanks
