I don't like MOBAs, and I don't like LoL, but I'm always impressed by the music, especially the login screen themes they make for, as far as I'm aware, every single new character.
The music is always a variation of a theme- the actual League of Legends themesong.
My favorite version so far was Snowdown in I think it was 2013 or 2014, paired with the login screen for Snowstorm Sivir. Who is probably really cold in that outfit because of all exposed skin.
League was fun for a time, but people take it WAY TOO SERIOUSLY.
I am casual gamer. I don't care if we win, I just want to have fun trying. And for most MOBA players, that ismply isn't good enough. Not nearly good enough. In fact if your game isn't 120% on point flawless pro plays, you should uninstall League and kill yourself - according to people I've had to play it with.
Meanwhile for the longest time I was Raka main- which many people viewed as a troll pick purely because of her lack of combat ability. She's a support, she heals people so you don't die. Well again, that doesn't fit people's pro-play style. So I'm automatically either a smurf or a troll because I would tend to pick Raka or Sona for support that they don't need or want. Eventually I did start to pick more offensive types like Morgana, Syndra, and Lux. But by then I was so burned out of the toxicity of League's community and the inability of Riot to properly contain it that I never play more than 2 matches in a single afternoon. It just plain isn't fun anymore even if I have a team full of friends, because someone inevitably gets frustrated and goes full tryhard. And then gets salty with the rest of the team when their inability to psychically know what is going on at all times causes such tryharding to end in disaster.

I find that nobody in LoL with the exception of one or two of my friends have an appreciation for tactical approaches. I also find that most of the other people I play with get so full of themselves, especially when they do well, that I physically cannot bring myself to play with them, it causes me physical pain, it makes my arms weak, it makes me want fucking nuclear war, similar to reading feminazi bullshit.
Amusingly enough, I've wanted to play League for a while now, and most of the negative points you guys brought up(community, ect) is something I've dealt with in a worse form already, so I do already know what to expect.

I'm in it to... Well, not win, but play well.
Actually in all fairness the community can be pretty fucking funny sometimes but be wary, League can turn anyone into a dickhead.
What I mean by the community being funny:
Full disclosure, I LOVE spicy foods. So I was looking for flaming hot cheetos, found this instead:
I know that this isn't good for my diet but I've been working my butt off all week and SPIIIIICY!
...
Ahem.
In other news I've been brainstorming ideas for what avali ships would look like, how they'd work (I'm liking the idea of one engine but exhaust sent through vents in all 3 axis, like a harrier)
Always thought this theme was one of the better ones. Snowdown 2013, which saw the release of winter themed skins for several champions as well as the return of the snowdown game mode on Howling Abyss.
I got an idea on how to spice up the rp but, it might actually be too much for it and I don't want to go through all the trouble for it all to go to waste.
Okay now... I've decided what I wrote for the rp should never see the light of day. It's too "dark and edgy" and a far cry from the happy fun times status quo, maybe it's too tainted by my emotions... maybe it's just too much harsh reality for anyone to handle.

Yep, I'm done here.
Note to self: continue to avoid expressing emotion as it will be used against me.
Its about a world where Rock & Roll is a crime, aspiring rockstars are in prison being reformed into normal citizens, and the use of emotionless Mr. Roboto units maintain order in the world as they reform anyone who tries to rock.
