Longest time you've had a LoL marathon

    For me it was just last week, I think I've played for about 20 hours with only one pause of 30 minutes to eat (and of course 5-6 minute pause for toilet). After that, I was like a zombie, when I realized how much time has passed I was literally stunned. I was at this friend's of mine house and we kind of lost the notion of time.

    I wouldn't recommend anyone having more than 3 matches without a pause of at least an hour, believe me, if you have more, after you get back to the real world, you'll feel sick.

    Wow i couldn't imagine being in front of a screen for that long period of time. My eyes wouldn't survive! That must've drained you big time!

    I've never had a friend like that in my life besides my online friends. I've been on 7-8 hours marathons, sometimes getting up to 14, but almost never reaching 20. The most I kept track of was 18 hours, but that's not happening frequently. I get tired pretty fast lately, though.

    I couldn't sit in front of a computer screen for 20 hours if my life depended on it, props on the commitment I guess, haha! :D I think the longest marathon I had was around 6 hours without pause, when I was doing scrims with my team.

    I've played close to 8 hours once I think. it was like from 9pm to early morning. I think I took 2 bathroom breaks and that was it. I passed out immediately afterwards and woke up in time for dinner. 20 hours is pretty incredible. I'm not sure I could play that long even if I wanted to.

    I think when you are at the peak of your level of interest in the game it is easy to get lost in it so as much as it is a bit extreme I am not that surprised that people do spend 20 hours on this game from time to time. I myself feel very tired and stressed after a few matches especially when they are super close and I also tend to prefer watching streams to playing so I don't play for that long usually

    Played LoL back in college for a few months straight. Not 24 hours straight, but around 6 hours daily after I finished my classes. I was pretty addicted then, and I really wanted to learn all that I can with the heroes and how to make the best out of any situation. Time well spent? It sure was. Could I have done something more productive with all those time? Probably :D

    Worth it though.

    I've gone through stretches where I played for a few hours straight daily. I couldn't do it more than a few weeks though. There is just a burnout point when you play daily.

    20 hours is pretty insane though. You have to be really into it to play that much. I mean that's only four hours of the day where you have time to do other things.

    Haha. You're right. I guess it's just not that surprising to me anymore because I've heard of a lot of people especially in Asia who obsess over these games and stay in cafés for a long time and some of them have even died doing it. Now that you mention it though I guess yeah 20 hours is pretty extreme even by those standards. As long as that's not the way it is daily and it's just for certain spikes if guess it's alright though.

    Probably about 12 hours at a LAN party. My eyes were really sore after all that gaming!

    My longest marathon was probably about 13 hours long one weekend. I started playing with some friends in the morning and then we went out to eat. It was a pretty cool day all around, but I did realize gaming sessions that long tire me out immensely now.

    My longest was about 2 days of nonstop playing when ranked came out, eventually I gave up as my play was affected by the lack of sleep, looking back at it, what a waste of energy!

    Yeah I've heard video games is crazy huge there. They have cafes dedicated to gaming where people will just play all day. How in the world do you die though? Was it just from dehydration from not eating or drinking anything?

    I'm not sure as I never read that much into it but from what I heard I'm guessing it was a mixture of everything but probably mostly exhaustion. I think they did to take many breaks and didn't even eat that much. They probably just drank energy drinks and I guess they also do it so often that it chipped away at them bit by bit until one day it proved fatal.

    For playing LOL, it was around 5 to 7 matches straight. But for the past year since I have been busy, I would just play a couple of matches once I woke up and another 2 before I sleep. Back in the days I can play whatever game I am addicted to for a whole day, but since I'm a bit aging I won't be able to do that anymore.

    Off the top of my head, I can remember playing a few 12/15 hour marathon sessions back in the day when I was young, free and single. These days I'm lucky to be able to get an hour in front of the console or the PC without being interrupted or needing to do something else.

    I think that a lot of people can't imagine sitting in front of a screen for that long, but when you're actually playing a game like LoL then time does fly by and before you know it you have racked up 10 hours quite easily.
