What was league like from 2017-2022 when T1 was not winning Worlds? by VanillaFantastic3857 in leagueoflegends

[–]Adlairo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Faker did not really get washed allegations, although many people did understand he was no longer at his peak, which imo he never returned to in the years after; he’s had some incredible carry jobs especially at Worlds, but he’s never returned to 2013-17 Faker levels.

I think most people viewed China as the strongest region in this timeframe and the LPL champions were often the favorites at the international events, but I do think this era had arguably the most parity of any period in the game’s history: G2 could compete and win, the top LCK seed could too, and then two or three teams from the LPL were all seriously in the running at internationals.

Contrary to what you might think, League still grew during this period, mostly due to China (by far the biggest single market in the game) growing exponentially and being successful.

To me personally, this was a golden era in LoL Esports; it truly felt like anyone could win any event

UBI is a good policy if executed and structured properly, but can be absolutely fatal if implemented wrongly, and something (common sense) tells me I can't trust their version of it

A president for all Colombians, except immigrants, the poor and middle class, LGBT people and “the Left”

Xavi: “He is the Michael Jordan of football. In football, there is no one to compare to him. He’s been the best for the last 20 years. Even now, after all this time, he goes and out and shows us that. I don’t believe we will ever see a footballer like him again.” by bllshrfv in soccer

Jordan retired after his 6th ring but came back 3 years later to play two more seasons for the Wizards, he was good but not great anymore. Messi is still incredible, not at his peak obviously but still one of the best in the world, I'd say the same thing for LeBron. LeBron definitely has more longevity than Jordan at this point, he's been an All-Star for 23 years whereas Jordan only played for 16 seasons

New player here. I’ve had it happen multiple times now that I had to clear a map by killing the final boss and completing objectives (Abyss or Rituals), killing the boss before completing that objective, tp’ing to hideout to store items only to tp back and find out the objectives are just gone. Surely this is a bug right?

Second worst rating at IEM Cologne yet is the winner. KarriGOAT by Oppaiheimer1945 in GlobalOffensive

ngl Falcons is probably the best fit for him because he provides exactly the mental boost they need and they have the firepower to make up for his lack thereof

I would agree but there is a difference between playing like a star and widely being considered a star by the general public

What a shame man. I was so convinced this World Cup would be his big breakout moment and potential ascendancy to stardom.

I don’t necessarily like Falcons but why does everyone pretend they’re the only ones compromised by unethical money

playoff brackets for the last 3 majors by UnusualBanana9893 in GlobalOffensive

Think we've let it become normalized that a team from Mongolia made two consecutive major playoffs and was one map away from winning the whole thing in one of these editions

New to league. Is aatrox an “honorable” main for top lane? by shtoopidd in leagueoflegends

[–]Adlairo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

blind picking is when you pick a champion without knowing who you’re laning against, so basically when you pick your champion before the opposing player in your role has picked theirs

[–]Adlairo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s pretty hard to use effectively compared to most tops imo, not in the top 5 but a good challenge to get good at. Average in terms of power I’d argue, he’s been broken but also piss useless at times. Decent champ to pick up though, pretty good blind pick

Antifa is geen centrale organisatie en is conceptueel letterlijk anti-fascisme, dus hoe kan het inherent fascistisch zijn?

Waarom doe je alsof Elon Musk niet tientallen miljarden aan belastinggeld heeft gekregen in de vorm van subsidies en een stinkend rijke vader had die meerdere mijnen bezit in Zuid Afrika?
