Right now at the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo is starting for Portugal at 41. Messi just became the oldest player in World Cup history to score a hat trick. Modrić is still running a midfield at 40. Over in F1, Alonso is racing at 44 and Hamilton is still winning at 41.

Meanwhile in League, you turn 24-26 and people already act like you're done.

Here's the thing nobody wants to say: the "decline" argument doesn't even apply to us the way it does to real sports. Football and F1 are about sprint speed, reflexes, stamina, physical recovery, stuff that genuinely falls off with age, and these guys are STILL delivering past 40. League is decision-making, macro, reads, shotcalling. That's the part of the brain that gets better with experience, not worse.

Yeah, raw reaction time dips a little with age. Yes it can impact some situations, But at league this is not the end of the world. League at the top it's a knowledge and positioning game and much more than just reactions. A veteran who's seen 10,000 of these situations beats a mechanical god who's seen 100.

And it's not just mechanics we get wrong, it's mindset. The second a player hits a certain age, we(or player) decide he's given up, lost his hunger, doesn't love the game anymore. We treat motivation like it has an expiration date. The hunger doesn't die with age.

So if it's not age, what actually pushes guys out at 24-26?

One thing: the environment. The brutal intensity, the burnout, the unsustainable schedule, the lack of support. THAT'S what drains a player's effort and love for the game. When someone "stops caring," it's almost never their age, it's either themself or the system that burned them out and called it aging.

And that's the part that should make us want to try more about it, because it's fixable. You can't slow down aging. You CAN fix a broken environment/system/schedule.
We just choose not to, and then we blame the player and call them old.

I think we should start asking why we built a scene that burns through its most experienced players and then throws them away.

Sorry for the long post just some food for thought

@TenshiTTV It’s a really stupid law, hope it doesn’t pass, but it won’t be too bad.

Worst case scenario you turn 16 in a few months anyway and you’ll be allowed to stream again so try not to worry too much.

@drewlevin Also Shaco might be a booster and/or bought account: Silver in 2022 --> doesnt play for 4 years --> comes back with 80% winrate in emerald on shaco and duos with a bunch of people

[.CreepinG Death @CreepingDeath62]

@drewlevin Shouldn't stuff like this (especially what Kai'sa did) be extremly easy to detect automatically and lead to the game being terminated?

[.CreepinG Death @CreepingDeath62]

[.CreepinG Death @CreepingDeath62]

this champ is not balanced @MakkroLoL (adc main btw, i only play it if i get filled top)

[.CreepinG Death @CreepingDeath62]

@ShitpostGate Crysis 1 had one of the most unique ways of increasing the difficulty, never saw something similar in other games.

[Azer Dugalić @Azzapp_LoL]

Surrender basically has no purpose in ranked anymore.

Don't connect for a minute = remake
Go afk or dc = game terminated
Somebody inting = game terminated

All of the reasons why surrender had to exist back in the day are gone. System is much more robust now and can figure out deeply unfair scenarios, everything else is playable.
