LoL and High IQ ?

[Anonymous No.12621430]

is there any correlation between being good at league and having a high IQ ?

for those who have never played league, it requires pattern recognition ( enemies on map and deducing an optimal strategy ) , memorization of each champions abilities and spells (150 + champs in the game)

there are so many different combinations of team comps and different stages within a game with unique playstyles and strategies.

this game isnt for brainlets, ask all the asians who regularly beat NA and EU in world finals

Yu-gi-oh! is literally chess but with more complicated pieces.
Unironically, a game that at its pinnacle can only be enjoyed by the highest IQ.
And if you delve into quantum theory or philosophy, your faith and connection with your deck improves your chances of getting the cards you need during RNG scenarios. Anne Hathaway briefly touches on this in Interstellar.

Stop trying to associate IQ with mundane shit
In fact, stop trying to use IQ on whatever argument you want

If you don't use your self-proclaimed intellect for something productive such as reading non-fiction and doing experiments, then you are just a slob.

Simple as that

Being good at games mean you are good at games. Nothing more.

High IQ would help, but most MOBAtards are just monkeys who have perfected the mechanics to such an extent that they just abuse small little imbalances to give them advantage. I only have experience with dota, but it was pretty obvious that there was little to not thought put into most decisions made by high-level players. Whenever you question them on a decision they will ALWAYS give some retarded ad hoc answer that can be picked apart easily.

Huh? A dopamine hit is a dopamine hit. Some are stronger than others, but they're all impacting the same receptors. That's the reason social media and video games have trapped so many people, they're tapping into a dopaminergic system that wasn't adapted to being constantly triggered.

Yeah, I agree with you there, and I've never felt the same sense of accomplishment from video games as I have some of my real life accomplishments. Yet I've still wasted more time than I care to admit on stupid apps, and I've known very successful people who fell into the video game trap, though they did eventually work their way out of it. It's a very easy path to head down without even realizing it.

New information is addictive. If you could framework your mountaineering passion, such as climb the tallest mountains in each continent. Climb all the 8000km mountains. The interest will grow. Games are addictive because they have a lot of checkboxes, achievements and stats to cover. Social media platforms are addictive because they give you multiple ways to entertain your friends and vice versa.
The social element with other people is a comfort thing, in which you confide in others problems in order to soothe your own, and to find the enthusiasm or courage to move on with other areas in your life. If you knew what you was doing in your life, had a framework, and was making good ground with real life interests then social media would be felt as less needed to confide in.

sort of

the high rank people are the most intelligent lol players but not objectively intelligent overall.

some exceptions but not many. i have a 113 iq and got to plat at 34 years old.

there are many approaches to success at lol and not all are high iq

>knowing the meta perfectly and only playing whats most broken (winning through better weapons)
>playing braindead champs like garen or malph (low iq high pragmatic)
>winning by being a good sport and non toxic (high conscientiousness)
>winning through mechanical ability (medium iq, high coordination)
>winning by shotcalling with pings (high iq)
>winning with a duo (youre stupid and gay)
>winning through dodging champ selects not in your favour (winning through game knowledge very low iq just rewards grinding games to understand what beats what)
>winning by low ping +perfect computer specs( luck and or money, maybe high iq if you earn the money doing something smart)

obviously approaches can be combined. so someone can just combine a lot of low iq approaches to succeed in lol.

I thought so too, when I was younger. And I would assume anyone that fucked up == a retard.

It turns out, just like with chess, that most of all MobA's are a game of repetitions. The more you've been in a situation, the better you know how to deal with it.

Now, having between 1-2 std's above the mean probably has a correlation, because you need to have SOME logic thought process and on the fly problem solving, but really, most of the games are just repetition.

This is why most of KR/CN players are midwit 16-20 y/o's who were never good at anything but playing computer games, but they played 10-16hrs/day so they have no need for high cognition, when everything becomes type 1 thinking.
