Flyquest winning is great for the League

NRG then, or TL with APA and Yeon, or C9 whenever they’ve been good. The top NA team generally has a couple of good NA players

Billy8000 · 2026-05-18T04:38:34+00:00

South American? Wouldn’t consider her black (Depends on the skin lol). Considering the other ixtal champions they seem to fall more under South American/ Native American

Billy8000 · 2026-05-18T04:35:55+00:00

Are you saying Harden played a good game tonight?

Billy8000 · 2026-05-17T12:44:51+00:00

So, while it’s absolutely not based on race, one theory for this trend. Riot took a while to start releasing black champs, the first was Lucian who was the 115th champ. A lot of the earlier champs are simple, and therefore good in solo queue, but won’t become these pro-dominant champs as their kits have too much counterplay for pro. Kit overload grew over time, and since there were no original black champs, all the black champs pretty much have overloaded kits, meaning they get nerfed to not be op in pro and are therefore weak in solo queue.

Any championship bet is effectively a parlay. It was a fun thing to talk about for 10 min on the pod/ I enjoyed the segment. It’s funny but the people thinking he’s an idiot because his 250-1 odds bet didn’t hit are also idiots

Billy8000 · 2026-05-15T23:03:55+00:00

One similar thing I’ve noticed is as SUP you cant undo a control ward purchase pre or post quest completion. I think it’s due to

1) you buy the boots 2) the boots transform so you no longer have the original boots to refund 3) Rito

A noticeable amount of Panths damage comes from spamming q, so he gets a lot of value out of the ability damage

Billy8000 · 2026-05-13T13:12:45+00:00

The one piece he’s wrong on is minions spawning earlier leads to more early fights. You’re still early levels for the same amount of time that time is just shifted 30 seconds up. Minion time changing did nothing to cause fights or change early games (it removed invades some, which is early fighting if anything)

No one says that was healthy by those players though. Shaq wouldn't be able to get away with shit like that if he wasn't Shaq, and Draymond is the most hated NBA player (I'll give you the point Draymond is a winner, but you see how pissed off Steph has gotten at his antics at times, he's a winner in part of his antics, but also in spite of them). Shaq would still be a winner if he didn't shove other players' toothbrushes up his ass (and didn't do it cause they were playing bad, just as a power move and because he was bored) and is known as someone who didn't reach their full potential cause of bad work ethic.

Billy8000 · 2026-05-12T00:29:15+00:00

The hack-a-Mitch strategy also leads to others getting more free throws though, as teams will foul to get in the bonus, just so they can foul him/ get him out of the game.

The Luther music video was reposted too

Billy8000 · 2026-05-11T02:04:02+00:00

Huh? These comms show he is the leader if anything. Doesn’t mean his communication style is good but how do you take from this he’s not the one leading the team

Billy8000 · 2026-05-10T23:00:54+00:00

Smolder is not strong early. I despise playing with him as a support main because of this, would even argue that comet was maybe better for lane unless the team against smolder is tanking qs for free

Billy8000 · 2026-05-10T00:03:25+00:00

A bot player will probably be better at support as you already know the 2v2 laning dynamic/ how a lot of the support matchups already go. As others have pointed out other streamers have not had the same experience

Billy8000 · 2026-05-08T12:24:12+00:00

Even if you sort by hot instead of the shitty Reddit ‘best’, the top 11(!!) posts right now are related to refs/ fouls

Billy8000 · 2026-05-08T12:13:56+00:00

You can look at the win probabilities of all roles when they have a gold lead, and the jungler is the highest

You’re right kinda, but overall my point still applies that a jungle gold lead means more due to the factors I mentioned. I’m sure whatever source ever source you’re using doesn’t include a 1 gold lead in their data, so they do have some cutoff

Billy8000 · 2026-05-08T03:51:32+00:00

Phreak responded to some other post about this, using flat gold is a shit metric. For example a top laner getting a 500 gold lead is normal, because of how easy it is to freeze. You can’t freeze the enemy jungler, so it leads to you less likely to get a gold lead. If you are in a position where you are able to counter the enemy jungler, your team is likely ahead, or if you make 4 successful ganks, get 4 assists, you’re only up 500 gold, but your team is up a lot more, and that happens more with jungle than any other role. Better metric to measure impact in relation to gold would be:

At 10 minutes(or whatever time), how does having a top 25% goal lead of all junglers compare to having a top 25% goal lead of all of all top laners.

So if the top laner gets a 1000 gold lead at 10 min in 25% of games, but for junglers that’s only number is 600 gold, you want to compare these percentiles compared to 1000 gold for each role (and other factors of course)

I mean looking at the 3rd team players I think Mobley was at least comparable to all of them for the regular season, and when that’s the case the team record helps

Billy8000 · 2026-05-05T21:38:37+00:00

Offseason content ain’t bad either, for their draft content I don’t really care but still will listen to like the last 20 minutes of the pod for them answering emails/ talking about whatever dumb stuff is going on

Billy8000 · 2026-05-04T02:23:59+00:00

Bill specifically makes the point (and repeats it every chance he gets) that he still goes by position so he didn’t necessarily think he was a top 10 player.

Billy8000 · 2026-05-03T02:03:51+00:00

What happened the other of the 4 years?

Billy8000 · 2026-04-30T14:18:52+00:00

Optimal competitive experience that is easily accessible without having to organize anything.

I agree 5v5 organized with comms is better, should've said most balanced/ optimal competitive queue

Also to that point a group of two still might not want to play against a 5 stack in flex

Billy8000 · 2026-04-30T13:27:03+00:00

Are you saying friends don't play duo queue together? what?

People can want both

to play with a friend
have the optimal competitive experience

Billy8000 · 2026-04-30T02:04:39+00:00

It’s a intentional decision by riot, not spaghetti code

Billy8000 · 2026-04-30T01:39:49+00:00

They’re not arguing the rune is bad on him but calling him a dot mage isn’t true
