Statistics show that gamers who love the role Assassin in League of Legends often tend to be lonely in real life because of the cold nature of this position.
On Valentine’s Day 14/2/2020, Riot Games has released relative statistics… heartbreaking for the League of Legends community.
Specifically, according to statistics from a survey at the LOL Western Europe and North America severs, up to 87% of gamers who like the Assassin are likely to live alone. This means that there are about 9 players that are single out of every 10 players, and only one person will enjoy this Valentine’s night.
A relatively “positive” reason given by Riot is that the players who love Assassin champions are very young. In other words, younger people often prefer to play champions that deal lots of damage and create highlights, while this preference for older players decreases.
Specific statistics show that champions like Zed, Yasuo, Kayn or Pyke are most popular at the age of 15 or under. While the players age 21 and older, they often love the Marksman, Mage or Support champions, most popular are Jhin, Morgana, Xayah…
The group of Fighters is practically undesirable at any age, based on overall statistics. They are generals chosen based on personal preference rather than on age. And as Riot mentioned, under 15 years old without a lover is also… very normal. So the 87% number of Assassin players who are still alone in the Valentine season is nothing too catastrophic.
However, according to some comments from the community, the style of playing games of Assassin players is also part of the reason for the risk of their “long-term loneliness” increases. First, regardless of age, Assassin players also have a strong try-hard mentality.
According to some marginal surveys, a large portion of these players also admitted that they “play the game not for fun but to win”, and also a lot of Assassin players tend to blame their teammates after the game. But once you put too much attention on to the game, of course, finding a lover is now also more difficult.
Besides, according to the trend of “romanticization”, Assassin players often possess a lonely personality. They prefer to play games by themselves, solo lanes, roam ganks, Assassins in League of Legends often possess a skill set that can assassinate the opponent’s carry in an odd ganking position and their tactics are also completely independent.
Those who love Assassin champions will often immerse themselves into the game, try their best to tryhard to win, but it is their own victory, because Assassins have no concept, nor the ability to support teammates. The fact that rarely interacting with teammates and possessing an isolated personality makes many Assassin players often lonely, but many of them also admit that this is not very important, because LOVER can betray them, but League of Legends never.
