LOL: "Yasuo is science", the Korean version of the hyperpopular meme of the Moba community

The pretty of a game with so much community as League of Legends is that there is a Meme, a reference or a phrase for each situation. The collective consciousness is aware of everything that happens, to the point of developing their own language that only those who play and are updated can interpret. Thanks to this, we have cases like Yahoo .

It is known by all the players of the Riot Games that Yahoo is a tremendously polarizing character. In spite of how fun it can be to use it, it is usually thought that when he is on your team he is going to trolley and make you lose, while he is in the other quintet of champions, he will carry the game to the enemies.

Research exercise

Like all memes and urban legends, there is a real hint. At some point something happened that has made a community of millions of players that this is true. And it is Riot Games mission to interpret reality to seek answers, because after all, they are responsible for the game to be in good shape and do not frustrate the users.

Therefore, it is very interesting what is made by the Rioter Nathan Beau in the past GDC talk entitled informed decisions about data-based champions in League of Legends . Towards the video 40:15 of the video, he begins to talk about Yahoo, and tells what we all know: the meme of our Yahoo vs the Yahoo of him.

But, as we say, it is a mission of Riot diving in the data to see if this feeling of the whole community makes sense. And the first thing they did is ask for words that define Yahoo to players from all over the world, creating the word balloon of the lower image... where it highlights a specifically one that does not have too much sense.

Yahoo is science

Science (science, in Spanish), is the word that occupies the center with the largest size, indicating that it holds the greatest use by the players. Nathan did not understand why, for what he investigated: I was very confusing for this, and I talked to my Riot Korea colleagues, from where this word came from, I asked them if it was a ruling in the translation, and they told me that No, that in Korea it is said that it is a scientifically proven fact that if Yahoo is in your departure, whether on your team or on the contrary, you will lose.

Therefore, it is clear that Yahoo is one of the most hated champions of the whole planet, and that even our Korean friends have a version of the most used meme in the League of Legends community.
