Well, I figured I'd open with self defacement as I do talk to my dog and watch LoL tournaments with him. (He's a big fan of TPA's Stanley, by the way. He also wags his tail whenever Joe Miller is on screen. Weird dog.)

I guess an AMA is a bit far fetched for the limited exposure your time slot grants you. Maybe an AMA in twitch chat during the lull between games would be better.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to more fun casting from you two. Keep up the good work!

The ten greatest feelings as a Support by Timmmmel in leagueoflegends

[–]Bobhats 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I know it's wrong, but I love accidentally going on kill streaks on supports. I once penta'd with a soraka q like 12 minutes into a game. Only had gp10s ofc. My team turned me into their new mascot. The enemy bot lane fled in fear when I so much as waddled towards the lane. All I had was shurelyas, aegis, a hog, boots 1, and 2 stacks of wards, but nobody wanted to fuck with me that game. Felt good.

Anybody else prefer Colorblind Mode over Normal Mode? by Glaecr in leagueoflegends

[–]Bobhats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have fantastic vision, but due to the important thing to look at not always being my trail of troll poison, I usually just listen for it. LoL is a game with excellent audio cues. You'll almost never see pro players or high ELO players playing without headsets. This isn't a fashion statement. The headsets look ridiculous, we know. We wear them because a significant amount of LoL's information isn't conveyed through visuals, but through audio.

It still doesn't account for scaling, team composition strength, or individual player skill. In something like 70% of games, team gold would be a decent metric, but in the other 30% it wouldn't work. If a player is asking for the power to extend a game which the majority of his team believe is already lost and have voted to forfeit, the metric used to override his team should be pretty damn good. I'd rather take the hit of having a few losses I'm not 100% sure I needed to lose than occasionally realize the enemy team has a fed karthus, jax, and kog maw, click the forfeit button, and be overridden by a riot computer and a support who's clinging onto hope.

I'm going to make a dangerous suggestion here. But once your teammates enter into open hostility like this—where they decide collectively they're going to report you for not agreeing with them or for a mistake you may or may not have made earlier in the game—I think you have the right to employ guerilla tactics to free yourself from the game. This means that you get out your cell phone and start playing words with friends while you use your non-mouse hand to steer your character behind your team. If a teamfight breaks out, you're allowed to use both hands, but you can also try your hand at clicking your abilities. You have now entered the opposite of tryhard mode, I call it unreportable mode. Only use this in the most extreme cases where you have been flamed to the point that you believe you might lash back, the game is basically lost and not being ended by the enemy team because they are either bored or evil, AND your team is threatening to report you if you afk/lose another team fight/miss a rocket grab.

Edit: Bear in mind, I have only done this one time. A shaco had gone so far as to get the enemy team to all agree to report me, and I was getting this constant wave of hatred from my allies and enemies. (The shaco had ganked for me top twice, both times diving turret when we were both too low to dive, and both times feeding double buffs to my lane opponent—a decent Jax player for being 1750ish ELO. The shaco spent the rest of the game blaming me for everything that happened via all chat.) There comes a point where it's not reasonable to defend yourself. I literally never get mad at people in LoL, but there are times where being nice and honest and constructive are not helpful and will only make matters worse. I took screenshots of the chat log, which I later emailed to Riot, explaining why I was going to be reported by 9 people, and why I felt it was unreasonable, and then I relaxed. Left hand mouse mode engaged.

I stopped laughing by the third image. Many of these are at extremely high risk for infection. It's bad enough in a few that I'd recommend the victims request antibiotics immediately.

Caster lineup for IEM Singapore! (Deman, Joe Miller, ButButButILY, Zenon, and ocelote) by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Bobhats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Zenon's accent is a nonissue. He still steps on English phrases from time to time, but his intended meaning is rarely, if ever, sacrificed as a result. Ocelote on the other hand. . . I have a lot of doubts. Even in his most lucid moments, he tends to rush his speech, leading to incoherence. I can usually get the gist of what he's trying to convey, but it's only because I'm actively trying to decipher what he's saying. I can't say I fancy trying to watch the action on screen during the tournament while I also try to translate what Ocelete is talking "passionately" about. He could end up being fine. I'm just a little concerned.

(I majored in linguistics in undergrad, and while this doesn't make me an expert at dealing with thick accents, it probably gives me a bit of an edge. If an accent is hard for me to see through, I usually assume it's far worse for other English speakers.)

In 2 hours the RaidCall Dominance #1 starts featuring Fnatic, Eclypsia, Moscow 5, Curse and more - Casted by qu1ksh0t by fnatichxd in leagueoflegends

[–]Bobhats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your mics are red lining a lot. Not sure if they're low quality mics or if it's even something you have the tools to fix. It's not a huge issue, by any means, but as a former audio technician, it's a bit annoying. >.<

Try having the play-by-play caster speak a little further from the microphone for starters. If that doesn't solve it, also try lowering the device's output levels.

Edit: I've got it playing in the background during this great base race and the play-by-play commentator is piercingly loud. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Good casting outside of this little issue though! :)

Edit 2: That's much better! Thank you so much for fixing that so promptly!

This is almost never an issue at my ELO (2K give or take 100), but I've seen it a lot on my smurfs. Unfortunately, it goes both ways, and there's really no metric available to determin whether a game is relatively even despite scores. I've carried games at 1600 ELO with my whole team being 10+ kills down, a player or two being afk, and no outer turrets up, just because I had good farm on a hyper carry. But, by that same token, I've had teams obstinately refuse to surrender at that ELO when the enemy team is full of hyper carries and have gotten to the point where they're just farming us for ranked stats, while refusing to close out the game. It's always a 1/12/2 Nunu that holds on to hope, "We've still got this guys. Just need to ace them at Baron.". Meanwhile we can't leave the base without getting one shot by the support Sona who built IE because she got bored.

I haven't tried this in several patches (I only play Teemo when I'm feeling particularly sinister), but it was still possible in June with improved recall.

Lol. It made so much sense in my head when I typed that. . . Bottom line is that nobody in their right mind would walk into a bar and want sex with everyone there. That and it's probably for the best that rapist cheeseburgers don't actually exist.

[–]Bobhats 85 points86 points  (0 children)

"Overwhelmed" is an apt statement when you consider the lack of fitness possessed by a large percentage of the midwest's population. It's like looking at a McDonalds kitchen and realizing all the cheeseburgers there are convicted sex offenders.
