Music is all around us. When you turn on your television, radio or enter an elevator, a shop, walk on the streets or even when you go to sleep you think of music. It’s a great influence in all of our lives. Believe it or not, music is always present when you’re in a bad or even in a good mood. It helps us pass through the bad days or just cures boredom.But how influential is it when we play games? How can it help? We see many famous streamers, likeor even, always listening to music, but they have different tastes. Ocelote is more of anmusic listener, but also listens to. Phantoml0rd is a big fan ofmusic. Snoopeh is more ofmusic listener and Guardsman Bob listens to Rock.What does this mean? What do these players have in common? First off, they frequently listen to music while streaming, and are High Elo players. Does listening to music actually make a difference in our gameplay?We held a survey amongst regular and casual players of the League of Legends community.responded to every question in the poll, and the results were pretty interesting!With thedifference betweenandRanked, andof the people who don’t listen to music while playing Solo queue, most of the players interviewed always listen to music as they progress through Ranked mode. Still, among the players who don’t play Ranked mode, alisten to music anyway.Among those that listen to music, most of them are betweenELO, in comparison to the players that don’t listen to music during games. There’s a vast majority of players in the low and mid elo ranking that listen to music while grinding ranked, compared to the people who don’t listen.This chart is pretty much general, as everyone has different tastes in music of course, but there’s many types of calm music that players listen too, likeor evenmusic, but there are also more energetic picks likeor evenThe last chart shows us a balance between the people who think music actually helps them concentrate and improve. There's a medium sized number ofthat aren’t sure if it actually helps or not. Onlyare of the opinion that it doesn’t make any difference.The players in the survey are mostly between. In the first chart a difference of 1% of players voted that theylisten to music during Ranked and, though thethat doesn't play Ranked listens to itThose that chose, may or may not listen to music because it can be helpful or distracting. There's aof players in the survey who have a serious approach towards ranked games and don't listen to music while playing them. But there's still a large number of players answering, who believe it is helpful for concentration and improvement.Also playing certain kinds of music can give a hint on what type of gameplay you have. This100% accurate, but i.e.:, listens tomusic and always has a "Balls Deep" aggression playstyle.This being said, there's no simple solution to focus, as every player needs to find their own way to calm down, concentrate or improve during the game. Music can be one helpful tool or your enemy.Credit to Viru5z for the awesome research info!
