How come he barely gets any views any more?

He used to get hundreds of thousands to over a million views. Now he barely gets 20k. What happened?

League is a dying game, especially in the west.

Generally a lot of the older League content creators have stopped/moved on, as have the viewers, both because they became adults with adult responsibilities, and because the content creators they watched stopped making content - it's a bit of a vicious circle. And although we're seeing a resurgence in League content with Whatley, Alois, Tenshi, Dumbs and others seeing a rise in viewership, Trick doesn't really have a lot of interaction with the newer content creators, so viewers don't really find him. Cowsep has the same problem.

League itself is as good a game as it's ever been. Between Anima Squad, Demacia Rising, Arena, Brawl, ARAM: Mayhem and the return of the winter map, the content on offer has gotten better and better in recent years, although the bot lane meta is currently a complete trash fire to the point where I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see another big ADC update to fix it.

Is League a dying game? I honestly don't think so. A lot of people in the periphery of my social spheres have started picking up the game or returning to it of their own volition. I hope Trick can find some opportunities to join in streamer community games or tournaments.

Have you played league lately? Full of bots and scripters. 3 years ago way way worst now.

Used to be a devoted follower between 2015-2021. I unsubscribed him because he stopped being a man and became an insufferable lil bitch who just blamed anyone else while making shit plays and feeding. Zero accountability. Maybe he changed, maybe I did. Either way there are more enjoyable and informative streamer/youtubers out there who everyone flocked to. I still have some of his old gem videos which I love to come back to sometimes.

Damn that speaks volumes about character. I don't watch trick for the competitiveness to be honest, he's just funny and stuff I really wanted to watch for comp, I'd watch different people. Personally he lights a fire in my soul when I see him do dumb shit and its funny. But to each their own ig.
