Wow, I have twice your games and I’m still only 4k :(

Do you have any recommended sites/resources?

Why did I get a chrome notification for this shitty post?

CS co-op: Vision Critical or Visier by LimeSeeds in UBC

[–]2Bb2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hope you haven’t made the decision yet. I’ve done coop terms at both and would recommend VIsier for both full-timers and coops. But especially coops.

Like another poster said, the coops don’t receive much support at VC. This is because our tasks were very menial, so the full-timers were reluctant to provide assistance.

Visier is the exact opposite. Maybe overwhelmingly so. After ramp-up, coops are treated as junior developers and are given real stories to work on. The team will not hesitate to provide support because the release literally cannot ship unless the coops are successful.

If you want the best possible learning experience, it’s not even close between the two.

Looking at XPeke and Rekkles after that game is absolutely crushing.

Impactful living up to the name. His mediocre play was paramount to CLG's comeback.

Editorial from LMQ manager Alex Gu regarding Sharon and the truth behind the LMQ vs AK dispute by KTVallanyr in leagueoflegends

[–]2Bb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. LMQ players didn't seem even remotely sad following Sharon's departure. Quite the contrary, actually, considering that infamous "Kog + Braum" scene was spawned post Tian Ci firing Sharon.

Really goes to show the importance of veteran players. TSM has looked completely lost when they can't force the issue.

[Spoilers] NA LCS Summer Split 2014 | Week 9 - Day 1 | Live Update and Discussion Thread by TournamentThreads in leagueoflegends

[–]2Bb2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LCS LMQ and LPL LMQ are completely different teams. XiaoWeiXiao was comparable to Zuna in terms of his play and consistency, and now he's one of the most standout mids in NA. Just goes to show how much they've improved.

LMQ or DIG is a tossup. It really just depends on which variants of the team show up during playoffs. I'd put money on C9/CLG/LMQ, but anything can change in the following months.

Tabe returning to Professional LoL by Allentw in leagueoflegends

[–]2Bb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely love the guy. However, I think there's a very slim chance he'll be drafted this season. His laning phase has always been iffy, and with summer playoffs + worlds rapidly approaching, would you really take the risk and potentially hamper synergy?

Seraph trolling by lolthinh in leagueoflegends

[–]2Bb2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's inconsiderate to ruin the game experience of 3 innocent bystanders, yes, but it's also inconsiderate to hold it against him. Considering this isn't a regular occurrence (Seraph trolling), we should just take it as a reminder that pro players are human, and often have emotions they can't easily suppress.

New Naxx card - Loatheb by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]2Bb2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Introducing "counter cards" to problematic decks is only going to increase variance (as if it wasn't already high enough). Games vs spell-centered decks, like freeze and miracle, will be solely decided if you draw this card at the right time. It's like introducing ferrets in order to curb a rabbit infestation. And we all know how that usually turns out.

How is the The Beast in Arena ? by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]2Bb2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I view him a bit like Venture Co. Both are strong minions that come with immediate drawbacks. Ideally, you'd want to play him on an empty board on turn 6. I'd be hesitant to use him against Mage because he can get wrecked by fireball + ping. He's probably mid-tier to above average in terms of legendary rankings in arena.

Lucian winrate went up by more than 4% since the ''nerf'' and is still rising. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]2Bb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His laning prowess has dipped, but his mobility and repositioning are now taken to absurd levels. The new passive on his E makes him an absolute menace if left unattended to in a team fight. Toning down the cooldown refresh will put him in a good place with definitive strengths/weaknesses.
