New school started to teach LoL players how to...

[quote=caucheka]even so. whats good in music is subjective, theres many different instruments and styles. im not saying theres anything bad with the people that are doing it, except that they are in deed, trying to 'school' people on how to be better at video games.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Reason why I think this is stupid as fuck is because learning this game by yourself is just as productive as learning it from someone else.[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]Well in LoL thats pretty much not needed, as long as you watch the Pro streams or read guides thoughtfully. E.g. for Sc2 coaching is good, cus if you have Macro, but no Micro you lose (same the other way) <- if that happens, no matter which buildorder you use, you will lose. And the coach can teach you how to maintian the balance. In LoL the only thing the coach can do is: 'hey you, look at the minimap!' , 'hey you, ward!', 'hey, you! Last hit that creep!', 'hey you, Bluebuff is going to spawn in xxx'... everything you can teach yourself[/quote]

[quote=Xiron][quote=GeorgeSyll] Oh wait, i forgot to say something very important. So important and serious that it should be also featured in Gamespot. You want to learn how to urinate like a PRO? You want to never spill a drop,with eyes closed, hands tied, and standing on your toes? Or you just want to learn the basics? Now you can in Urinating Institute! We're offering low prices and special family and pet packages! Don't miss it! [/quote] Hilarious![/quote]

[/quote] Then why the fuck is there a guide site? Fuck guys THINK. HERP FUCKING DERP WE'RE ON A GUIDE SITE SAYING GUIDES DON'T HELP YOU PLAY EDIT: lawl wrong quote but you get the idea hahaha[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]but guides don't work. in before butthurt.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]Complete bullshit saying that coaching doesn't help! ofc it helps. How much? I don't know but I'm pretty sure it helps. If I enjoy the game and WANT to pay money for getting better, why should I not do it?[/quote]

[quote=Dypheus]If people pay for virtual skins, then people pay to be better at virtual games. Meh exacly I find it kind of fun, seems a fun job to teach other people to game or coach.[/quote]

[quote=Protocol][quote=caucheka] video games are there to be fun and enjoy. everyone takes them way too seriously. [/quote] I'm guessing that is the label you put on everyone who is better than you?[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]...I play videogames to have fun, but I also want to win. The fact is, I've wanted videogames to go uber mainstream in the USA for awhile now. Korea got it right with Starcraft and turned it into a huge industry of sorts. Kids are going to college to find careers right now with the possibility of that field not actually having the opprutunities they want or need because the economy (although it's floating up out of the bowl currently) could be better... Imagine this spreading and games take on a NEW level of importance in the USA. Kids who want to go to college but can't afford a 4 year school, or they dont have the ability to get an athletic/academic scholorship but they're really good at videogames...I mean yes that sounds completely moronic I suppose, going to college on a "videogame scholorship" but seriously...Not enough people can really afford to go to college without aquiring large debts that they won't pay off until their mid 30's.... I guess it's a pipe dream of sorts, but I couldn't get a sports scholorship to a D1-D2 school, I had offers from a few D3 schools but none of them had graphic design. So now I'm going to a community college (after 1.5 years at Central Michigan University)...If there had been an opprutunity to earn a gaming scholorship I'd jump at it. Caucheka, let people spend their money how they wish, just because you find it "retarded" doesn't make it so. Do I find it silly to pay someone money to "make" you better at a videogame? Some ways yes, but at the same time I can see the appeal and the reasoning. If gaming all of a sudden gets taken to the professional sports level..I mean on par with football/baseball/soccer/golf/etc...Then what's the problem with that? Games are "supposed to be fun" where does the fun stop if you're getting paid for it? Or if you're getting paid to teach others? I'd say "doing what you love" is the best job anyone can have.[/quote]
