MOBA Spotlight : League of Legends

Hey, i find the video funny.

This video isn't funny at all. It sounds less like a parody, and more like the video guy literally doesn't understand what he's talking about. Seriously, you could make this video in about an hour. It's lame, with almost no production values. The biggest part is how it doesn't actually show League outside from a few stills, which doesn't help how the video gives the impression of only superficial knowledge of how the game works.

The worst part, however, is that the premise of the post is just plain wrong. You can miss ultimates in both League and Smite, but it's way less likely to happen in Smite.

Do you know what IS funny? Videos that parody League that actually know what they're talking about. Ever heard of the phrase, "it's funny because it's true?" Comedy is supposed to make us laugh at ourselves, not facepalm at the writer.

Alternatively, comedy can be spun to make you laugh at others, which is toxic, and I think was the purpose of the video and the video poster.

@the slightly pissed off sandwich.

Here's a better example of a funny video, that does lightly mock League, but is, you know, actually funny.

Why it works:

Voice doesn't drive ears to suicide.

Subject matter is accurate and not superficial, as we can see by the actual quotes and clips.

Video is aesthetically pleasing, not a constant loop of images and zoom-ins.
