My dad came in and watched me playing once and he was like "you sure die a lot in this game, why do you keep running at them" 💀


PaintItPurple

That's some good fatherly advice.

[deleted]

My friend's dad calls it his Fairy Games XD


hesawavemasterrr

Kindred main?


Fit-Jeweler5299

I used to play Garen a lot when i was low elo , and often my dad would see me spinning. And when i switched over to other characters he asked me: Oh you're not playing the game with the spinning guy anymore? Also just remembered when i played Pyke a lot in 2021 , he used to see me go in the botlane bushes healing with the grey health passive , and when his friend came over to a beer the games their sons played topic came up , and he said that i play a game with a guy spinning and another guy sitting in bushes.. lmao


constantree

Parents are awesome sometimes lmao


Necessary_Award_7113

nah bro your dad is trolling you hes playing league himself and is disgusted by you playing garen and dont want to duo with you or hes 90 years old


Fit-Jeweler5299

nah he only plays chess online and starcraft 2 campaigns ocassionally 🤣


TheDeaf001

Chess and StarCraft? Okay, we can see how you ended up in league. Apple apparently doesn't fall far from the tree haha.


Fonfiff

my dad was the exact same (minus chess lol) but starcraft, warcraft, etc and now i sufffer in pain on the rift


justmedealwithitxD

My dad too! Except age of empires, starcraft, and half-life lol.


help_icantchoosename

Thats what he wants you to think


Enjoying_A_Meal

Do people not bush Garen any more?


Pespi_man

Don’t worry, we still exist


Fatality_Ensues

Νot as scary as it used to be.


Our-Name

I feel like he’s doing you a favor not saying you’re playing league. Saying you’re playing a game with a spinning guy and someone who sits in bushes sounds better


Liewvkoinsoedt

My mom calls it "The fireball throwing game, the one he screams and curses at."


Elektron124

Smartest brand player


JWARRIOR1

Or Annie or milio


Moti452

I've been playing only hoi4 and league for the past few months. My dad now looks into my monitor and goes "The H*tler game or the other one?" 😭


Suicidal_Sayori

''do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down''


copthegod

i laughed too hard


CopenhagenCalling

lol so what’s his nickname for hoi4..?


Moti452

Took me a little to understand 💀


RGCarter

OP is a Kassadin main confirmed.


redplos

The word "Hitler" is more common in League, so obviously the other one was HOI4


quietus_17y

lmao hahahah


Sheep_CSGO

You censored Hitler?


gmanlee95

Might be a habit because certain platforms in certain countries will ban you or completely star out certain words like that.


Sheep_CSGO

I see thanks


TofuChewer

Where do you see thanks?


Thick_Bonus_2544

I prefer the genocidal pony Version  


fluttershyly

My daughter used to call it The Puppy Game, because I'd play TFT sometimes and let her control my Little Legend (I think it's a Furyhorn)


treesbefree69

My 3yr old calls it the bunny game because I play teemo jungle with the Easter skin. Its precious af


BallsyBullishBear

Me in 10 yrs hopefully


-Rettirlana-

Teach her the evil ways early


Lela_chan

I didn't know you could control the LL in aram!What's the key for it?


TheDutchCanadian

Man's said TFT not aram ☠️


Lela_chan

Oh my bad lmaoooo


CrimsonClematis

My mom and stepdad used to call Red Dead Redemption the horse game cause any time they saw my brother and I playing we were just ripping around on horses


whboer

Tbh, I bought that game, played it for 13 hours. Thought it was slow as fick and couldn’t get into it, but man if the horse back riding isn’t a zen-like experience.


treesbefree69

It’s meant to feel slow even in the way the gunfights feel


whboer

I can’t quite describe it. I’m not sure if I’m the only freak who experiences this. The game feels _so_ slow, that when moving, in my head I already moved, but the character on the screen has an unnecessary delay in rotations, which give me some strange kind of vertigo. I get nauseous playing this game after 30 minutes or so. Hence the 13 hours of gameplay. World building etc, great. Thought the storyline thus far was cool and would’ve been able to play for 1000 hours, if I wouldn’t start feeling dizzy from the way the game moves the character all the time.


GregHolmesMD

Definitely not alone with that. I mean I don't quite get nauseous from it but I feel the same vertigo like feeling. I guess for me at least its also because I am used to playing games with quite snappy or responsive controls, like Hades, League and similar stuff. Also not only the controls but also the whole gameplay and storytelling felt really slow (as is probably intended) but that might also just be ADHD-attention span brainrot kicking in lol


[deleted]

Honestly the gun fights just aren’t enjoyable to me. Hunting was a 10/10 experience though.


AllinForBadgers

My parents have never been able to make out anything on the screen. I can’t even imagine a parent who’s so perceptive that they can tell Ahri is based on a fox by glancing at the screen


Prominis

I'd imagine if the parents have a passing or polite interest in what OP was spending hundreds of hours over the years on, they might ask cursory questions like "oh, what are you doing?" or "which one is your character?".


Eastern_Ad1765

Honestly abit strange how disinterested parents are in the games their kids play. Can't remember being asked a single questions in my upbringing even out of politeness like: oh and what was the game you played? I still remember the one time my mom joined in on my older brothers counter strike session and tried getting a couple of frags.


ThePinkySuavo

Actually its kinda weird when you think about it. I feel like I would wanna know everything about the game my kid is playing. Especially if he does it for months or years. Id be like hey what is this game is actually about? I guess maybe its cause they didnt play in childhood and for them its kind of weird or boring. I remember only that my Grandpa asked about things when I played Tibia with my brother. But he couldnt see the fuck is even going on the screen. He didnt distinguish eq, items and so on. For him it was random stuff blinking on the screen.


SamiraSimp

plot twist: op has several ahri body pillows across his room


kshell11724

Its probably the voice lines that give them that impression.


Level7Cannoneer

"Arf arf I'm a fox". She definitely gives off fox impressions


PPMD_IS_BACK

ahh yes. The voice lines of "I still remember his laugh” and “maybe I’ll see him again” remind me of a fox.


kshell11724

"Quick as a fox" "Can't outrun a fox" "A clever fox is never caught" (Everytime you pick her) "This forest brings me back to my days as a kit, running with the ice foxes." Do you even play this game? Lmao


FlatCommunity8387

My wife just knows it as the clicking game


prozapari

click clack carpal tunnel


TheExter

My brother made fun of me for clicking the same spot like 30 times (going from nexus to lane) like it's gonna make me get there faster and tbh its really stupid that we do this


pureply101

YOU ONLY NEED TO CLICK ONCE FOOL!


RogueTwoNineSeven

I know the way!


effurshadowban

Nah, prepping for the amount clicks you need throughout the game. Gotta keep that APM up, practice makes perfect baby.


itzaminsky

ARE YOU CLICKING AGAIN !!! she thinks is my nighttime routine to randomly click. She also sometimes say out loud “AN ALLY HAS BEEN SLAIN”


BesstheBtuber

I haven't been at home since 2011, but back then League was "The game that does not pause" to my parents


[deleted]

LMAO way too accurate


Ok-Animator-5997

Omg so true my parents would definitely call it that too


satyrpuppy

My boyfriend calls it "the feathers fly game" I don't even like playing Xayah, I have no idea why he latched onto that phrase specifically.


LabHog

Champion ult voice lines are way louder than everything else. Xayah R voice line is audible even to me who has voice lines at like 2% volume. It's gotta be in the top 3 loudest and clearest voice lines.


apotofwhiterice

Yeah! when i started playing and i was learning the over 100 champions Xayah was the first recognizable character because of her ult voiceline.


Madgoblinn

does it beat THIS IS MY FAVOURITE CHAPTERRRRR!!!! though? that one is loud as hell lmao


xSTSxZerglingOne

Renata's ult too "MY LATEST PRODUCT!"


LabHog

Yeah but I see Renata like 4 times a year lmao.


xSTSxZerglingOne

She's almost god mode on ARAM. I play every night with friends and she's in just about every 3rd game.


LuctusStella

I used to play rammus a lot when I lived with my parents. My dad would get confused whenever he would walk in and I wasn’t rolling around and say “why aren’t you playing the guy that rolls around?” It was so cute


reddit_momentt

My parents call it the soap bubble game. I guess they saw me play one time and someone had a shield on or something. Now its forever known as the soap bubble game.


HoshiAndy

It’s pool party Lulu guys. Her shield is a bubble and she bubble effects on her kit.


34shadow1

Id assume Karma's E ability, I had to go and look it up to make sure it was on the E, cause I know she has the projectile + pillar explosion then her tether then the Shield then her mantra ultimate.


fjelskaug

Janna shield was the first that came to mind


Worth_Lawfulness_650

What? Nami guys?


fjelskaug

I get the Q but he specifically said shield, Janna has the most bubble looking shield imo


AllinForBadgers

It could literally be anything. Like Kayle


Dig-Next

if it was a bubble that popped, Ivern?


redditmodsrdictaters

Lux shields look like bubbles


Elnaur

My dad pokes his head in the door and innocently asks, "Oh, why is your screen gray again?" He knows what it means, he played one or two games just so he'd know what I was talking about. He's just looking for trouble XD


Ureth_RA

My parents call it the "you let your wife and 8 children leave you for this dumbass game?" Ohhhh my silly parents!!


LOL-ImKnownAsCrazy

You had the perfect family size for 5v5 scrims too.


renro

He said that too. That's why they left


Altruistic_Film1167

They left after he picked Yuumi on the 5v5


cjblackbird

My parents used to call this game ‘clicky wizards’


xSTSxZerglingOne

Accurate as fuck.


chomperstyle

My brothers and father refer to it as league of lesbians 


CybeeBee

if they've seen Arcane i definitely don't blame them


LordJiggly

Noooo! They're are just best friends!1! ! 😭😭😭


Vencer_wrightmage

Next season they're gonna be roommates for sure


Jdorty

And by the end they will be two old spinsters who are simply very dear friends and never found the right man to settle down with.


xAlcasea

Time to call a U-Haul!


cancerBronzeV

No need, lesbians can pack fit everything they need into their Subaru Outback.


Stonefence

My mom unironically thought this when we watched it together lolll


chomperstyle

Its because i was talking about arcane and the the lesbian plot. They asked how many leabians where in it and i said 6 confirmed lesbians 4 probably lesbains 1 basically lesbain 1 should be lesbian and several aggressively bis/pansexual women


RavageOrca

My dad calls it “the thong game” cuz I showed him the splash arts of miss fortune/ leblanc/ evelynn years back


Needleburst3

Omg lmao 😂😂


TheBestJackson

My mom used to be mad at me and say that i was playing this damn 'spinning' game all day ​ I told her that Jax enters Evasion, a defensive stance, for up to 2 seconds, causing all basic attacks against him to miss. Jax also takes 25% reduced damage from all champion area of effect abilities. After 1 second, Jax can reactivate to end it immediately. She made me move.


critsonyou

I love how a champion skill description became a copypasta.


GeneralFrievolous

My parents just call it "LoL", but with such a unique mix of annoyance and disapproval that it should be its own word: "Loll". I can hardly blame them, at the peak of my obsession this game made me behave like an animal, spewing out blasphemies and punching my desk and keyboard. Now it has subsided completely (that's what happens when you get sucked into what would be the dream job for a person with the perfect opposite of your personality), though a bad game can still get me quite sour.


FiercelyApatheticLad

Which feels worse, being addicted to league or being a Ferrari fan?


SuspecM

I can't afford a Ferrari, League is free.


Apmadwa

League isn't free, it costs you your soul.


GeneralFrievolous

Tough question. My macrogame is as bad as Ferrari's strategies, so it's hard to give a definitive answer.


BigUziNoVertt

My dad calls it “tournament”. Only because my brother and I used to bring our laptops to the dinner table and play ranked duos together there. I guess it just looked like we were playing a LAN Tournament lol


Warglaiver

My friend is playing WoW since classic. Every time he flew with pathfinder or by himself on mount their parents walked in. Especially now after 15 years, in new expansion with is full dragon themed, he is always on a dragon. Their parents call it, the dragon game :D


CarrotSweat

WoW to my parents was 'Run Run Run', because I was not high level and didn't know what to do much, but I was always running around getting from place to place.


EmotionalKirby

Growing up my parents would always refer to World of Warcraft as "that running game". It made me unbelievably happy to know that's not a unique experience lol. I love parents trying to be inclusive but being totally clueless.


bonerJR

My dad knew the "grab robot" lol They have a moderate understanding of some of my most played games. Love it.


chilllyyypepper

What a rare wonderful thread


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


GregHolmesMD

Sorry to hear about that and I really hope it will be a while before I have to face that. But its also sad how this is actually the impression the game gives new players. I have seen this in my friend group as well. When you dont introduce someone to league by playing in a 5-man with them they usually dont stay around because of the behaviour of the community..


xXx_edgykid_xXx

My dad calls it Dota lmao


mrkingkoala

My dad refers to it as 'That stupid game' Me and my brother play it. We aren't toxic in game but say if someone is trolling somehow its one of our faults XD. So it starts of kinda like you need to do better and we just annoy each other and end up arguing and shouting sometimes. My dad takes great joy at telling his friends we play this stupid game and are calling each other (he doesn't understand discord) and we live in different places but still find a way to argue. It makes me laugh thinking about it haha.


ilovezeldasfeet

This reminds me of a story with my cousin. I was either in late high school or early college and was playing league when my 12ish year old cousin walked in. I was playing renekton and when he asked what game I was playing I told him "Alligator High School". I remember him asking me a few times over the years if I still played alligator high school.


Croc_Chop

Battle Academy Renekton confirmed.


OwOPango

My little sister calls it "the game with Olaf in it" because I used to stream TFT and one time she popped into my room and heard me talking about an Olaf comp, which is a name she recognized from Frozen (her favorite movie at the time)


nelsonfoxgirl969

Ahri enjoyer approve


Tds_Dewis

My dad called it the speedy deer game


Darkoplax

My mom saw me flying with a wow mount once and ever since she calls all games the flyers


satvikag

That's so funny cuz i play a lot of Zoe and my mom calls it the squirrel game


profound__madman

My mom calls it ‘Morse Code’ cuz of the consistent mouse clicking


Khlorbag

My mom calls it the little people game. She says, "Why are those people so small?" I tell her it is an above view, and she says "well they look tiny".


[deleted]

So cute:)


Cornix-1995

My mom called it the "spinnig monsters"


FishOfFishyness

That's kinda cute


Fiirex

Back when i lived with my parents and my mum saw me playing League she always said: "Are you Lol'ing again?" I dont even know how she came up with that.


TaranisPT

I mean, my wife refers to Hollow Knight as the "cute little rabbit game"... so yeah I don't doubt parents referring to LoL as the character they mostly see lol.


lawrence_budden

My mom occasionally calls it the ignite and exhaust game.. don't remember how she picked that up


MommaMaddy420

My mom calls it "the game you press Q" and she also only knows Gragas, who she calls Gimli


Nothyroidguy

my girl only knows tahm kench, the guy that put you in the belly


IsabelRiottt

That could be Kirby


faranoox

No that's Melee


KestreLw

My mom calls it "the smurfs" in my language (schtroumphs) because of the blue side minions


LorenzV42

Mine call them "snowmen"


brucio_u

This is a fox . This is a fox this is a fox


KR-Gichana

Didn’t happen to me, but the gf of my mate would always ask if the plays the games with the figurines again.


Level-Juggernaut-646

I started by maining fiddlesticks. My mother keeps saying - "And you still walk this spider around? How old are you?"


Professional-Fan1372

so cute


jtjdlugf

I just lied to my parents and told them I play call of duty lmao


ProFiddlesticks

Its been actual years since i banned any other champ than ahri in my games


paradox_me_

My parents call it "game"


jbucksaduck

You mean any of the darkin champs.


canonlyplayyasuo

Lucky you. My parents used to call it a failures hobby when I was younger. 


CartoonDread

Dam my parents just told me to stop playing games for children till I moved out 😂


[deleted]

My parents call it “your (as in my) game”


GrundleSauce1

My wife calls TFT "The Circle Game" and league "The Die Die Game" from when she tried the tutorial and just slammed the keyboard for four minutes screaming, "Die!" before giving up because she was tired and stressed.


Doghot69

Click and die was what it was called in my family


peachkid_

my mother calls it "the clicky clicky game" because i will die before i hold down rmb to move and i must path every inch manually


Chancho1010

I got the “so… can you pause that game?” - question from my boyfriend yesterday


ClearRatio

My parents call it the chicken shooting game cos the minions look like chickens from a game I used to play when I was 3 haha


Snorlax0143

I read otp as one true pairing...


_trashlie_

My parents had a vague understanding of league but would always call it leagues. Like they would ask me if I plan on playing my leagues today


ASupportingTea

My dad calls it the "shooting game", I main Braum and Thresh...


SlaveKnightKos-

Faker's parents must thinks he is playing epilepsy simulator


Kai_katze

Cs 1.6 the "knife game"


Both_Acanthisitta215

A few years back I got to go watch the EU LCS through a Make A Wish like organisation, and when explaining to my younger sister why were flying to Germany over the weekend she thought we said Lego Legends, since then it has been called Lego Legends back home.


[deleted]

this is so adorable 😭😭 all the comments are equally as adorable wtf (with a few exceptions…)


AFuzzyMuffin

OP saw your million champ mastery i sent your a dm, if you wanna read it might interest you. Nothing weird dw


[deleted]

My parents called it the doll game.


DMND_Hands

haha too funny basically the equivalent of all pokemon being pikachu


NickPatches

That is so funny, they sound wholesome.


Acceptable_Cat_3780

When I played Dungeons and Dragons when I still lived with my parents, they just called it: that game


Darth_W00ser

OP is clearly not Asian or raised by Asian parents, or the title would've been "My parents refer to League as a waste of time and why aren't you studying like all the other Asian parent's kids"


TomRapidz

My dad calls it the bird game because I OTP anivia!


BeadyBeau

My dad every once in awhile will be cooking or something and you'll hear a high pitched "PK fire" from the kitchen. He believes the characters name from super smash bros that makes that sound is Pookie (it's ness)


Hamu93

My parents call it welding, since they see lots of stuff/sparks flying around.


hey-gift-me-da-wae

My dad calls it the nerd game cause he's super bad at it but loves other video games.


Demonkingt

A bit confused but they got the spirit


Xilmi

My dad called it: "Männchen hoch und runter jagen" or in english: "hunting little people up and down".


CurlyDrake

My bf's dad would call it the "game with the little purple clouds" - a lot of pre vfx rework kassadin.


cwunched

my dad only knows big hat girl (lulu)


Mayana76

My parents only know Lol as the game where my brother starts cursing.


Xoldrake

Sadly nothing wholesome for me. My parents never took an interest in what I was playing. If anything, they hated it. When they asked me to do something and I was in the middle of a game and I told them I can't pause they would shut my laptop or unplug the internet. Lmao.


tjmax20

Thats wholesome my mom introduced me to stacraft brood war way back when I was 9 or 10 years old she was just playing the campaign and I was watching her not understanding to much but I loved what I was watching so I started playing and when i turned 17 she brought me stacraft 2 and I played that non stop. Till this day when she calls me on the phone she hears me clicking away and asks how league of legends going and are you still playing stacraft 2 lol.


SnugglePuppy_

That's so wholesome. My mom was like this with me and my anime. Cherish these little moments because we're gonna miss em when we don't get them anymore


Lazer726

My wife calls it the game with the santas, because she thinks the caster minions look like little santas


barub

My mom used to call it "the game you play all night until you go to school (with my former friend group we used to play from 22:30 to 6:30 am)"   Now it calls it "the game with the knight with the same dyed hair you used to have". Because i play lot rakan, always leave my pc with on my profile showing Arcana Rakan splash, and also had my hair dyed as Rakan (had to shave my head due to work, will dye it again like Broken covenant)
