How To Play Without Scripts After Scripting

[Madra]

This may seem like an extremely silly topic at first glance, but having been around fallen scripting communities it was rather comical to me to see how many people lost rank after returning to their mains they never scripted on. Even if you think EloCarry will never fall before you quit using it, there will always be downtimes and periods of detection. Back to the topic at hand, the problem here is that people legitimately got worse at the game after using scripts for prolonged periods. League of Legends uses muscle memory and intuition that very easily degrades when not in use. This is why you are "rusty" after coming back from a hiatus.

Even more problematic though is that scripting, and cheating in any game for that matter, allows you to make subconscious shortcuts that your brain overwrites your previous intuition with. A prime example of this is SBTW scripts. After relying on them for months, how many of you find yourself holding spacebar in teamfights for no reason? Even if you disable spacebar to center the camera so you can stay on a free look, the added tension actually slows your fast twitch muscles in the rest of your hand delaying your flashes and such by a slight margins which can on some occasions result in death, if 20 ping matters so does every bit of your reaction speed.

The simple way to overcome degradation is to not cheat. The simplest solution is truly the only solution. However this doesn't mean not to cheat at all, but to make a plan to practice. Consider your gaming schedule, do you play one or two games a night? Then choose one day out of the week to play without scripts. Do you play upwards of 10+ games every time you get on? Then get your first win of the day without scripts.

This simply prevents skill degradation, however you can also use scripts to improve your gameplay after you stop scripting. Think about when you first started playing League, Twisted Fate requires you to literally play a minigame against yourself picking cards, when you are actively thinking about all of your surroundings you miss cards and lock the wrong one, once you have a little experience this never happens anymore. (unless you have a double digit iq that is) However stat stick champions with very few mechanics to learn such as Master Yi are far more effective in the hands of new players. Scripts allow you to play even the most involved champion with 12 passives 3 dashes and 2 executes as if they have the most simple kits. This allows you to focus on macro play much more.

When you can last hit without staring down minions you have plenty more time to study the minimap. This will help you master rotations as you learn timings of various champions, Aurelion Sol ganks a side lane much faster than Annie. When you don't have to worry about aiming skillshots as much you can focus on learning engagement priorities and timings. When you have the freedom to let your mind learn new things you can master objectives and teamplay much faster. But this doesn't happen unless you put in the time to learn and practice.

nice topic im sure itll help some players. for me tho. League just isnt fun without scripts. Cant grind anymore 10 hours a day to be decent like i used to 5 years ago.

Personally, its hard for me to intentionally turn off scripts (or cheats in any game for that matter) and keep them off when i start losing. It takes a  lot of control, knowing that you could turn on cheats at any moment and turn the game around.

If it's hard for you to keep cheats off when you know you have access to them, you should consider if you also fall into the same category as Daviii where you actually just don't enjoy the game like you used to. A mantra I live by is that if you can't enjoy a game while losing, then you enjoy the concept of winning more than you enjoy the game.

tbh... i had grown bored of league when i first started scripting and i simply no longer had the luxury of spending 8 hours on the computer anyway

so scripting again enabled me to  boost and sell accounts like fucking hot cakes and that shit made me some big bucks ngl 

started playing LoL on and off the past year and a half and surprisingly.. i took away a lot from scripts.. considering i'm a mimic player.. so it helped a lot with auto spacing, dodging, fancy plays like vayne's e flash, essentially being able to do them myself.. 

however, that boredom is stirring up again, would rather pummel kids holding spacebar and sitting under tower like a bitch 

 

--

by mimic player, i tend to copy what i see, like watching an irelia player pull off the E>Q into minion/champ>E to extend the stun range, and mimicked that my first game irelia last week. got called a scripter bc of how quick i had been doing it and just landing them on that muhfuckas wide ass forehead.

 

 

w/o scripts -- playing the game is off, but everyone started w/o scripts, and getting use to it is only a  matter of time.
