League of Legends has a reputation for being a pretty toxic game with an unfriendly community. However, this does not apply to all players. Many even discover new friends or partners in the MOBA, as a recent Reddit thread shows.
What reputation does League of Legends have? LoL has a difficult reputation even among MOBAs, which many players would confirm. The community is often described as toxic and unfriendly, which is often reflected in the chat. Many even report that they play better when they turn off the chat and the pings.
It doesn’t always have to look like this, as a recent Reddit thread shows, where someone reports that they are soon going to marry someone they met in the game about 6 years ago. The community is unusually positive in the comments.
Community congratulates the couple, praises the good side of LoL
How did the couple meet? In a current Reddit thread, Jupit42 shares that she will soon marry her League partner
. They are said to have met in Season 9 while he was playing as ADC with a smurf account and she as support. Initially, they even insulted each other in a funny way in the game.
After a few months, they met in person, and after 6 years, they will marry. I’m not sure why I wanted to share this. I appreciate this community and the game so much. I feel like there’s a lot of constant hate and negativity, and I just wanted to share something positive.
What does the community say about this? The post seems to be well received by the community. After about 19 hours, the post has over 8600 upvotes and nearly 400 comments, showcasing their best side and sharing their own experiences:
- anemone_within (via Reddit) shared that he and his wife initially had a common topic:
The first thing my wife and I talked about when we met was how trashy the ADC role was. Back then it was Season 5.
- Itssvegaaaa (via Reddit) praises the journey to the wedding:
From mutual flaming in the solo queue to the “I do” – that is the peak of character development. Congratulations!
- For pakeliui (via Reddit), it’s not just about playing but also about watching esports together:
Congratulations, that’s amazing! […] By the way, I also met my partner through League. I never have to watch competitive games alone again – that’s great.
A few comments complain about smurfs, but that is only occasional. Generally, the comments show that the passion for LoL can unite people and that it’s not only about playing, but also about aspects outside, like esports.
Have you ever met friends or even your partner in League of Legends? Feel free to share your experiences in the comments. Such occasional stories are a good contrast to the current state in LoL. Many players are currently criticizing the game: With a change in LoL, Riot is alienating its most loyal players – saying now: The change is necessary because players spend too little money
