NFL star Pat McAfee spectacularly fails at guessing what League of Legends is Instagram, @patmcafeeshow \/ Riot GamesWhat do Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kris Jenner and Dwanye \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson have in common? They\u2019re all characters in League of Legends according to the imagination of former NFL star Pat McAfee. League of Legends is a complicated game. At over 140 champions, Riot Games\u2019 multiplayer online battle arena game has only grown more and more difficult to master in the decade since its 2009 release. While the massively popular, globally renowned MOBA can be confusing to even its most dedicated fans \u2014 it\u2019s obviously even more puzzling to those who know nothing about it. One such person is McAfee, a decorated former punter for the Indianapolis Colts who is now a podcast host and (sometimes) professional wrestler. On a recent episode of , LoL was brought up and the sports aficionado wanted to guess what the game was based solely on its name. Standing up and gesticulating widely, McAfee passionately, confidently came up with a beautifully off-base premise for what a game called \u201cLeague of Legends\u201d could be. For mobile users, segment begins at 1:55. Stemming from a conversation about how the Oculus has changed his perception on video games, McAfee admits he never liked gaming because he was bad at it. Now, he\u2019s intrigued and applies that curiosity to LoL where he tries to guess what the game could be. Unfortunately, his first premise starts off on the wrong foot: \u201cAlmost like the NFL, you\u2019ve got 32 teams and it\u2019s a league.\u201d Then, it gets a little more convoluted when he starts thinking about the \u201clegends\u201d aspect: \u201cThere are legends that run said team \u2026 actual legends, like characters \u2026 Stone Cold Steve Austin probably has a team to fight against. The Rock probably has a team. These are legendary human beings.

Instead, he quickly wonders if what he\u2019s seeing is some sort of hybrid of Risk and the Sims. By the segment\u2019s finish, McAfee learns a little bit more about LoL and possibly comes up with an alternative game franchise that Riot can look into. He and his fellow hosts also end up renaming the title \u201cLots of Love\u201d and decide that the greatest League of Legends player of all time would be\u2026 Winston Churchill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
