It was a bit better than last time. For the most part.For one thing she, an actually good player who doesn't quit in the middle of the game, was on my team. No desperately trying to fight an entire enemy team by myself this time.She's also a pretty extreme powergamer in this game. She picks the statistically "best" characters, memorizes internet guides of the "best" builds, and is both deadly and hard to kill as a result. Because of that she picked up a lot of wins, got a lot of playing experience, and is rather skilled with the game. (It works, but it's not really my style. I don't even really consider myself to be playing the game if I'm just mimicking what a guide tells me I should do).Because she knows the game so well she was able to help me, which I think helped contribute to our wins together, but she's a REALLY frustrating backseat gamer. She looked over my shoulder and told me every move I should make, every enemy I should click, when to attack, when to run... To the point where I wasn't really making any choices of my own. Eventually I just handed my computer over to her because I was getting annoyed and she was pretty much the one playing anyways. She turned the game around and single-handedly won because she's a significantly faster clicker than me (and she micromanages really well, handling two computers and the glitchy unlocked screen movement all at the same time) but I'd say that despite the wins it was one of the worst games today. I didn't have fun. I was actively thinking "can we just get it over with" throughout a lot of it.Things got better when I discovered that I really liked playing as a certain champion that I'd never tried before. I actually started killing enemies at the same speed that she was telling me to, so for the most part she backed off with the instructions and focused on playing her own character. At that point I started to have fun with League of Legends for the first time ever. tldr: It's not bad if you have reliable teammates and find a champion you like to play as I guess. But it takes a lot of work and a lot of frustrating losses to find good teammates and to discover who you play best as.</blockquote>
