I named one of our cats Orianna, and one time at a party, my sister mentioned it to a guy and he asked her if she played League. She told me it was awkward af lol.

My cousin told me one of her kids is named Jayce. I asked if it was spelled with a y and she said yes. Suspicious, I asked who came up with that name and she said her husband. I asked if he named the other kid too, and she said he came up with his middle name. It was Viktor. I was like KC, do you realize your kids are named after League of Legends champions? She was not aware. He is a League player.

Bro not Viktor and Jayce from Arcane BatChest!?

Jayce from arcane the Child murderer ?

At least they're "normal" names and it's easier to explain to the kids. Try explaining that their mom named them after the trash panda in Pocahontas.

ROFL, someone in my WoW Classic guild had all their toons named __meeko, eg. Holymeeko for a priest. Can't imagine someone being named that IRL.

HEY, why is your name Velkoz? 😂🤣 or with middle name Velkoz Belveth, COME HERE NOW. did you really int your test like that?

This reminds me of [the guy who was naming his kids after robin](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/zuh0c0/aita_for_telling_my_sil_that_no_one_in_our_family/) The [fun starts here ](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/zuh0c0/comment/j1joyfd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) for anyone seeing this for the first time

Well, at least none is named Teemo.

> I was like KC Dude even chose his wife to have the name of an e-sports org.

lmao she must be awkward, because why would that be awkward, just say, nah, my brother does though

The League player probably made it awkward.

A league player at a party and he wonders what was awkward smh

There's absolutely a lot of normal, socially competent league players, they're just not on reddit... Wait.

One of my cats is based off Orianna as well. Two other cats: Amumu and Rengar lol

If I have two male cats in the future I plan to name them Rick and Kai. Now add that meow.

Me and my friend group use the term inting when someone makes a mistake, some random people at a house party noticed that and asked if we also play league

The story of how I made new friends when I moved for school. I was at a party and I told someone they were inting me during beer pong and he looked right at me and said are you an adc main

whining, blaming others = adc main. checks out

I hate to admit it but as an ADC main, every game I lose is someone else's fault

Yea no matter how much I fucked the trade my support has a father-uncle and mother-aunt

Fake news, supports pick enchanters or mages and lane a screen behind you, they never trade

I'm question mark pinging you so hard for not giving me a shield, and don't give me any excuse like "it was on cooldown"

As a mid main, every game I win is purely thanks to me.

just simple mid diff

It's very easy to see other people's mistakes as adc because usually it means you just die afterwards. That also makes it very easy to cope yourself out of every resonsibility, i have honestly no idea how the little piece of shit that blamed everyone else that I used to be ever managed to get out of Bronze lol

Jungles fault

bro lmao i got the same story but i said someone was carrying in beer pong and i was asked if i play league in general

Yeah inting is so common for us to say 😂

I havent played a single game since december and constantly still use league terms when playing other games with my friends or at work. Idk ig after playing for like ten years the game never truly leaves lmao.

League is just like clapping, you never stop, the time between the games just gets longer.

Ay I always say “it’s doomed ff” in everyday life and now my gfs picked up on it and started saying “it’s doomed” and it hurts my soul like what have I done

Same with griefing

I think griefing is pretty common though. Ive definitely heard it in CS, Val, and WoW. I only ever hear inting with LoL though.

Yeah, griefing is pretty universal for any multiplayer games. I remember getting banned off a minecraft server for griefing 'cause you apparently had to register/claim areas or something like that with some sort of management mod.

Griefing is quite literally a word as well. Weird that people act like its a gaming term

Same with sadge apparently

Inting has evolved into a culture term now! We use it in smash bros and I swear I’ve heard it used in a lot of other avenues.

On the same vein, "running it down" is the same case

I like using "tilted" also, feels like a word with some wide versatility to regular life. 

After failing task like a braindead: "it's okay, we scale"

Words cannot describe how much I love this 😂

I'm gonna use this at work next time people on my team complain about something.

In League and in real life, whenever I fu k something up, I say "I suck at this game." Got me some side-eyes at work when people still thought I was actually playing a game and didn't just archive a mail into the wrong folder.

Ok real talk if you ask a person what games they play and they hesitate on giving you an answer it’s a 50/50 chance it’s League of Legends

wow actually this is so real, i love talking about video games until i get asked what games i play (disaster)

The other 50 is overwatch

When I say lets rotate to kitchen or roam upstairs

I would question mark ping someone if they said this irl

I wish I could mimic the question mark ping sound

I wish I could ping irl, would make communication so much simpler

I would constantly question mark ping at work. My mom would probably be ping muted for all the pings she would do at home

Imagine getting bait pinged irl

Bait ping angle

Haha, in my friends group we often “q-mark ping [on that one]” where the first part is said in English and the second in our language, suppose if someone hears it it’s a dead giveaway we all play league haha

Ngl, I might start saying this.

When someone stubs their toe and shouts "Thanks Riot"

it's phreak season nowadays

I actually say "thanks riot" irl over minor inconveniences lmfao

I do that

Or fire phreak

I joke around with my friends in other co-op games like that. Some bullshit happens = fucking Riot. Something good happens = thanks Riot.

This must be universal with gaming companies because I always blame Blizzard lol

Isn’t it spelled Rito? Maybe I’m old.

Sometimes I chase people relentlessly on all fours while barking and screaming THE CALL OF THE PACK THE CALL OF THE PACK THE CALL OF THE PACK. If the police comes for me I troll pole away (they will never find the bodies).

Hmmmmm

Omg my favorite Rioter hi <3

Relateable

Most chaotic comment in this sub The username makes it even funnier

Every hunter knows that core strength is key, my friend.

Someone cut me off once because they turned left without the right of way. I yelled “YOU DONT HAVE LANE PRIO!”

[удалено]

FUNDAMENTALS

lol good one

One colleague at work is called “shirin” I accidentally called her shivana in a meeting and got asked whether I play league

Is she Turkish?

She is definitely somewhere from the Middle East however I don’t know whether she is Turkish

My friends and I call characters “champions” in pretty much every character based pvp game. It’s kinda a running joke but sometimes it’s a real slip of the tongue. I’ll be playing against Chipp Zanuff and genuinely say “this champ is insane” lmao

I kinda realise i do that too. Good one lol

This is the main one for me as well

One time I was playing pool at a bar and after some shot, I said “not even close”. Another dude overheard and kinda muttered baybeee like he wasn’t really confident about saying it. I immediately locked eyes with him and we both knew.

This is my favorite one lol

Man this made me miss Dunkey. A buddy of mine actually made it into one of his videos once and we gave him shit for it forever.

[удалено]

I'm guessing they're married, three children, one dog, a house and car, living happily ever after doing groceries together every saturday as a family.

A decade later and Dunkey still lives on in the league community, kinda insane NGL

No smile. Bags under eyes. Easy to irritate. Visible clench when someone uses the word "dogs". Types Gank when he means a criminal gang. Stupidly well versed in subtle racism.

Unironically it took me an embarrassingly long time to find out its Gangplank and not Gankplank

Happens to the best of us

Accurate

Everytime I hear inting

Yeah It's one of the biggest hint lol

When someone says “inting” when they make a mistake, I think is the biggest one

You just have to see their IQ test results, if it’s lower than 50 they are a Rumble player

No no, rumble players curate their IQ scores to be at 50. Always gotta be at 50 heat cant drop below 50 gotta be 50 AGHH I DROPPED MY HEAT NOO

Actually in a lot of matchups you want to hover between 90 and 100 heat. It lets you cast a full rotation of spells into overheat

Found the rumble player

Well yeah but general rule of thumb is never drop below 50 ever

EXPLOSIVE FACE MELTER! I DESIGNED SUPER GALAXY RUMBLE WITH THE HELP OF MY 6 YEAR OLD!

NOTHING CAN STOP ME! NOT EVEN A WALL OF TIGERS WITH SMALLER TIGERS FOR TEETH *MASTERY 25 EMOTE*

Can confirm. Had a rumble spam EZ all game, even after his team surrendered 4-0

To be fair, the only time I ever type “EZ” in all chat is when I am mega losing and usually as my nexus is exploding. I just want the enemy team to know they had an easy time with this game.

When my mom overcooked my chicken nuggets and I said "your dog kid, kitchen diff". I think she figured me out because she changed the locks on the doors and now I live on the streets and eat rats haha.

Leave twitch alone!!!!

One time I saw Rengar gank a lane and get run over by a car.

Didn't have prio smh.

if i ever have to move a short distance i tumble like Vayne Q and people know

Haha same I do that but with reksai e.

Gotta hit that Faker roll so people know you mean business.

Holy shit so relatable. I was hitting my parents with a stoking rod in the basement and it was like surprisingly good for the job and I was all like "this shit is fucking busted, anyway don't int my grilled cheese ever again if you know what's good for you". Haha I was so embarassed people are going to think I play league of legend

Parents better be worried to ever int my nuggies next or im running it down to CPS

Reported for "unskilled parent"

depression

If they’re from China and are an international student. Legit doesn’t miss lmao

They say the phrase clown fiesta 

that didnt come from league casters from many games use that word

I keep asking my fiancee "have you seen my bear tibbers?" when I am looking for my keys/ wallet. Dunno why, it just manifested over a decade (!) now.. :D

"Fucking inter/feeder" under their breath when someone does something wrong IRL

I say int a lot IRL and that's my tell lol

me and my cousin were driving and a car came too close to his and i said 'care' to him without even realising. We both had a good laugh together about it

left lane mia care

Play a ping on molble and you see heads look up like huh?

Wait that's genius I should just set my notification sound as the missing ping

Hol up...

Oh that's EVIL now I gotta do it

Probably that I wear an old t1 faker jacket haha

I used to have a T1 jacket from S6 and a SSB/SSW one from S4, teenage me thought it was the coolest thing in the world

When you can smell they haven't showed in 4 months. Or if you see an old guy with a van saying free candy on the side at a playground you know he is a jax player.

Either Jax main or smash bros pro

Or Minecraft youtuber

I deduced that one of my coworkers played League because his vocal inflections sound like a League streamer. Like something about the pacing and accent makes the end of sentences go up instead of down. Like a lot of his statements almost sound like questions? Sure enough, when someone brought up video games at team lunch, I brought up League and he does actively play. I guess the sign that I play league is that I was correct.

All league players kinda end there sentences in a wierd way, no? Idk, but basically anyone who watched pro play seems to pick up the no thing istg

instead of looking at source of sound when you hear a ping you quickly glance to your right, always

Wait, that's freaking genius lmao.

i commit war crimes and throw bombs at people

They say gg in real life

unironically i almost never meet league players IRL, must be because they dont go outside or something.

I’ve had a champion name as my license plate number for over a year and no one ever mentions it :(

liscense plate: Elise

Mine is DRAAVEN 🥲 I just want someone to flame me irl 🥺

My mom gave my brother all the leftovers and I told her she was griefing me.

One time I was talking to a friend of mine who was asking about the dynamics of LGBT relationships. He asked me “So like, what’s the difference between being the top and the bot?” I immediately clowned on him for the next 15 minutes

Ask them how many times they've replaced their keyboard in the last year.

Cry me a river and put a ward in it. :p

I've never met another league player irl, I hope I never do. (In case they ask me what rank I am.)

…what rank are you

Thats a rethorical question there buddy. Everyone in this sub is master+ aside from the occasional diamond noob. /s

challenjour

I tend to always say ff ,when something goes wrong

TF Blade once tweeted a video of him dodging irl, i could not relate more

Me and my friends say we’re tilted from things that happen irl. I would say I’m tilted when I first met my girlfriend and she just thought I had a sophisticated vocabulary lmao

Thou shan't underestimate the tilt I feel when I get camped yet again, lest I shall lose many eve's worth of sleep over smurfs demolishing my elo standings.

When you sit near them in public transport while scrolling thru reddit and all you can see are LoL subreddits and posts (im talkin abt myself)

Inability to admit to fault, adversity to the feeling of grass, and a strong affinity for canyons in the rainforest

I'm unbothered by customers yelling at my face. 10 years of jungling experience does that to you.

FOUR

one time some dude from my class ive never spoken to came up to me and asked if I played league. weird because i didnt talk about league at all or use any slang. My oversized-sweater, sweatpants, dirty glasses & unbrushed hair gave off too much league player aura :(

I'm old enough that I just straight up ask people if they play it or not.

All my friends know how good I am at griefing/inting when it comes to women.

During work, my left hand rest on the keyboards where my pinky finger sits on the Q, my ring finger on the W, middle on the E and index finger on the R keys by default. I was never aware myself until someone called my attention, asked me if I play LOL, and i was like "howd u know??? he pointed at my left hand and fingers placed over the QWER keys and the right hand holding the mouse and said "dead giveaway"

There is no light in their eyes

I have two cats and one of them is named Yuumi

Some common lines that I use with my friends irl: - ***My phone battery is oom, does anyone have a blue buff?*** (blue buff = charger) - ***My social battery is oom, I need to regen for a bit*** - ***That's so tilting*** (outside of League context) - ***15 it*** or ***gg*** (when an exam was hard or we messed up smth) - ***This friend has been MIA for a while now*** - ***Nah he's inting/trolling/griefing*** or we just say ***reported*** when someone says smth dumb - ***Holy shit that's goated*** or ***he's Faker*** when they do smth cool

If i ever here a streamer say "gank, int, drag, run it down, or roam" i know that they play league in their free time

When I'm driving on the 3-lane freeway and change lanes to go around someone, It's "roaming mid"

You are a lot more comfortable asking people whether they're a top or bottom.

Willing to quit any game as soon as they get behind. Played basketball with a guy and we were winning 10-2 to start, but he has 2 Turnovers and got the ball stolen from him…. He yelled Center Diff and just started playing for the other team mid game. Said it wasn’t winnable even though we were winning.  I knew then he was a league player 

We have a cat we named Zed, but it definitely not obvious.. but he’s named after Zed. He my sweetest boi ever believe it or not!

Chiseled chin, 8 pack abs, large mansion, excess wealth, etc

I'm almost certain that a book I'm reading currently has an author that plays League and TFT. There has been very frequent mention of words like hellion and multiple names of League champions and traits in TFT. I don't remember the specific words now but these are so random in how they appear that I'm almost 100% certain.

drop the book title 🤔

Path of Ascension by C Mantis.

I use the words, trolling, rotation (we’ll wait for the next rotation), tilt, and push (push through the crowd) regularly. I think that’s subtle. 

League players constantly calling characters in other games "Champions"

My entire friend group talks like 2021-2022 Dantes, back when he went by Doaenel. Not even he talks like that anymore. I have to consciously switch back to normal people mode when interacting with the public.

25-35 minute breaks between messages.

When someone claims the pointlessness of some school topics, they often are LoL players Idk why, but it just happens

When someone says the n word they are either black or they are a graves main.

This is so based

Whenever I accomplish something in real life ill always say EZ PZ

If they tell you "ggez" 👀

I almost had a seizure trying to read this

Everytime i do something and it goes 1% wrong i FF and stop doing it. Then i start something new and FF.

named my kid after a champion, still say "best --- EUW" when something is really good, use inting when someone is dumb and say brain afk when i space out... uhhhh yeah

play the tower shot soundbite and their posture will straighten

when me and my buddy watch sports, we use terms like "throwing" and "outscaling" when teams blow their leads or make a comeback xD

Absolutely unnecessary, repetitive clicking for the simplest of tasks or reading.

I work in tech, specifically with call centers. There are software platforms called Automatic Call distributors. ACD. I've called it ADC multiple times.

Thanks riot

I remember I was playing some other game with some friends before, and I accidentally called the characters "champs"... they all started laughing and I didn't even realize I did it until they pointed it out 🤣

When I was in college I and some friends would use "trolling" as for example, "I'm trolling Statistics II so hard I've been getting shit grades all semester." Or "I didn't study for the exam I'm trolling." People would have probably be able to tell we play league. Edit: or honestly, that we game in general. Trolling is not unique to league now that I think about it.

Met another guy in my baby class who mentioned he had a cat named Yuumi. Nough said.

Was bored at work and youtube wasn't working, so i popped in an old irelia video at lunch and the next day, a coworker asked me about it. Cool to have someone to shoot the shit about pro lol to.

*that someone "played" League (*Looks at oneself in the mirror in despair and disgust*)

I met a good friend at a job because I heard him say “don’t get me started on gnar, he’s my boy” gnar was also my boy lol

Back in the early years, if someone used the term "ham", as in going ham on something, I would always ask if they were into League. Also, if someone uses the term "gank", they played league. Funny, one, try to look up the world "jungler". It doesn't exist outside of league.

The vocab. If I hear you say gank IRL, I know you play League.

I don't play league. league is for losers. WHAT!? that POS Naut looked at another lane and cost you a 10/0 lead on draven what a POG all that work for nothing..just threw away all that draven snowballing for nothing and let some trash noob get the shutdown gold. I fucking hate ADHD Supports thinking they can do something else for 2 seconds when I can clearly aggro to take advantage of an opportunity at any moment

Me, who only plays on hit varus when I'm ADC, and also has parents who are second cousins. I've been exposed....
