Just tryin’ new things

That's unfair to meth.
Meth has a large number of useful applications. And most meth users I've known have been comparatively civil, soft-spoken, and fun at parties.
Dread to ask but comparatively to what?
league of legends haha
look at the meme again friendo
The people I've known who used meth are great to have on your side in a fight. The problem is they tend to just get in a lot of fights anyway.
Unless you meant "meth user" as people who need Adderall and similar stimulants? That's definitely not the same thing lol
Desoxyn is legally prescribed meth. Adderall isn't quite the same thing, but Desoxyn definitely is.
Which to be honest if you ask heavy amphetamine users amphetamine and methamphetamine aren't that different anyway.

Not entirely true. Methamphetamine has two enantiomers, dextro-methamphetamine and levo-methamphetamine. Desoxyn is 100% dextro-methamphetamine, while most street meth will be a racemic mixture containing practically equal amounts of each enantiomer.

I would say this isn’t true either. Both impact the CNS is much the same way, but the addition of the methyl group allows for meth to much more easily cross the blood brain barrier, producing markedly more psychological and euphoric effects. Methamphetamine also lasts 2-3 times as long.
This is why a lot of things used in biological processes need to be purified, one of the steps is separating the enantiomers. Chirality in molecules is common but people might not know what it means, especially when it comes to drugs or supplements. Molecules with chiral centers rotate one way or the other (Dextro- or Levo-rotation) , this can be determined in a lab using light waves, so it's called optical activity. You could find L-carnitine supplements in a grocery store, for example. When synthesized both enantiomers are produced, but only one is useful for biological mechanisms. D-carnitine is considered toxic because it can cause the L-carnitine in your body to be less effective, and you don't want your cell metabolism to stop or slow.
I used carnitine as an example, but stereochemistry is really important to understand when it comes to drug manufacture
Also if you give it to soldiers the benefits cant be understated, just ask Aimo Allan Koivunen.
Why would i play League when I can go have fun
First time I ever played, I stated it was my first time. Team lost. Got called homophobic slurs. Never played again.
League of Legends: Wild Rift is fun and the internet consensus is wrong on this one
issue is you can't really play league without playing with the type of people to play league. that's enough for me to say no thank you, no matter the game mode or whatnot
I mean, you are definitionally correct. League players are the type of people to play League.
There are great ways to enjoy League without having to interact with League players. For one, there is the PVE digital card game Legends of Runeterra, which has a really satisfying RPG roguelike mode with long term progression. I have likely put over a hundred hours into this and spent zero dollars.
There’s also a new single player feature for Wild Rift which lets you fight AI opponents trained on player matches. You can edit the ranked skill level of the AI and pick/make them play any champion. There are dozens of hours of good times here alone. Again, completely funded by cosmetic purchases of other players and free to enjoy.
Personally, I think turning off chat and teaming up with players you got along with is more than enough to compensate for the “type of people” issue. Playing with pure randoms in any online game is not great for sanity. But lots of folks are looking to make friends and are good co-op partners if you’re willing to DM them.
The matchmaking dynamic has ruined a lot of games and LoL is no exception. I do think folks play up the bad vibes on LoL relative to everything from Overwatch to Valorant to fucking Roblox. If you're not going into these games with a group of local friends, you're either going to have a bad time or you're going to be the bad time other people experience.
you're either going to have a bad time or you're going to be the bad time other people experience.
To be fair this can be applied to any multiplayer vs game. Once youve removed your own bad time from the equation it's a pretty fun competitive experience.
Roblox aside as I’ve never played it, I wouldn’t call any of these games ruined. These are all popular games with growing player bases and lots of folks enjoy them immensely.
It might just be my personal experience and social group, but I believe toxicity is lessening as more people become self-aware and intolerant towards it. The fact that there are more ways to block, silence, mute, and report now than in the 2010 era of gaming helps a lot too. I also notice that toxic people end up playing with other toxic people, and the rest of the game sorts around them to variable degrees of success. This is what the “honor” system mixed with player reports does in PC league for example.
In Wild Rift I encounter an inter or someone who lashes out in the pre-game lobby with a troll pick maybe 1/8 of my games on average? Can’t speak for the enemy team as all chat no longer exists. So if I have 5 members on my team, that’s 1/40 people who are jerks? That’s manageable imo, especially as the matchmaking system refunds you half the loss if throwing/leaving was detected, and you still have a good chance of winning despite them.
It’s also easier to organize a group of friends both in-client and through 3rd party sources like Discord and Steam than it was on Skype and Teamspeak back in the day.
People trying League is the same vibe as people trying meth
much improved
Wait, slime_ like the person constantly in tomato gaming's chat? Didn't know they were famous.
