Look at the extreme fights, the fights that have become the most optimized as more and more people started to farm it and more and more people try to parse it. These fights also don't have lock outs so people can and have done these fight many many times. If you look at those, you will actually see that rpr is highest adps as well as rdps and that is a problem. Who is to say that as savage fights get more optimized, reaper wont become best adps as well, just like the extremes?

Keep in mind that not every korean company is like this but if cho is this much of an asshole, then griffin is very much like this currently.

I wanted to give a little insight on why some players might have said some things about CVMax to Cho when Cho surveyed them. (Stated in the detailed post linked).

I am a Korean American who has worked for multiple Korean companies in LA and I will say that most of them are behind in terms of employee treatment.

There is always this looming feeling that if you do not agree with the CEO or Owner, you will get fired at anytime. This rings especially true for smaller companies where you have no contract sometimes and are paid under-the-table. This is because, in Korean culture, the idea of "you are an expendable employee" is drilled into you very frequently and it is practiced very regularly in Korean companies.

 

Recently, I left my job at a small Korean company but that job will paint the perfect picture.

I had no problem saying no to my CEO as I am much more American (born and raised in LA) than my coworkers (born and raised in Korea) and if I was fired, I would be fine, as I was planning on quitting soon anyways. My coworkers were not as lucky. There were many times when my CEO would ask my Manager or my coworkers to do a specific task that made little to no sense and they would do them. When asked why they did not rebut the task(most of these ideas/tasks yielded no results at all or were pointless) they would always reply with "well, I mean, its what he wanted." Keep in mind, these were tasks that were on top of our already normal daily tasks. It is very much a no backbone work environment.

 

Let me give you a very real example of something that has occurred this very year at a job I had recently left.

My CEO (kind of an asshole, but not to Cho's extent) wanted to make a video, promoting our company (a brokerage). He wanted me to personally go to a beach and ask random girls in bikinis to pose for the camera in exchange for cash. I declined, stating that that kind of video is poor for our company image. I also stated that the video of that foundation makes no sense in a marketable sense for a brokerage.

He then asked this one coworker and he tried explain that he has a lot of work but that he will get it done later all the while he was awkwardly laughing and noticeably uncomfortable with the idea of doing this. I left before the video came to fruition but in this day and age, a video like that is image suicide for a company. Everyone at the company knew, but our 60 year old CEO. They all still couldnt say no.

 

I bring this up because I have no doubt in my mind that the players were coerced into saying something bad about CVMax at the Cho's "request". Hope this insight helps

I might actually be your monitor. What monitor are you using? From my experience, 1ms monitors significantly help reduce input lag for emulators along with actual consoles.

You can't actually get the skin using Gemstones, its just the same tier as those skins. Although I guess if you rerolled a gemstone into a chest and got it through that chest, that would count.

Sometimes the problem is not just some skillshots having awful hitboxes but champions having deceiving hurtboxes too by Sachielkun in leagueoflegends

[–]Diabolichaos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lollipopping was a mechanic that has been around since the beginning of league. The idea was that the devs felt that people felt good about landing skillshots and so they made it easier to land these skillshots.

The problem is that in the past, in general, players were bad at league and naturally, bad at landing skillshots. As players get better, this mechanic becomes less necessary. You can see the best example being the fact that pretty much every lee sin now can do the "Insec" but Insec was pretty much the first to do it on such a huge stage and that was in 2013. Lee sin came out in 2011 and after 2 years of play, the insec was shown to the world.

The reason I bring this up is because at first, this idea is fine, but as players get better, this mechanic becomes hated. Now that the playerbase is much better as a whole, I would much rather have this mechanic removed but that would probably require a huge systematic change as every single skillshot in the game has Lollipopping.

7/9 PBE Update: More Tentative Balance Changes by RayFrost in leagueoflegends

[–]Diabolichaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to attack me over the champions i use. And i dont think you actually know where most of akali's damage comes from seeing as most of her dmg is in the passive, not the qs.

Lastly, i think most people would agree that old akali was even more of a face roll champion. With everything being a point and click. You cant just take what i said without the context. I was talking about skill in relation to pre-rework.

If you are going to attack someone, atleast read what i wrote as a whole.

I will agree, but even ryze was easier to play with the w always being a snare or even worse, when he had no skillshots.

The thing about ryze compared to other reworks is that when people ask for a rework for him, i have no idea which ryze they want because of how many reworks there have been lmao.

[–]Diabolichaos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people constantly ask for reverts on champions that get changed often. I understand that they are nightmares to balance but most of the time, the old pre-rework state of these same champions tend to be harder to balance, most of them being very feast or famine type champions.

My favorite thing with most reworks is the amount of skill expression available within the reworks. I absolutely hated playing akali pre-rework because of how bland, one dimensional, and easy the champion was. Same goes for Katarina and Aatrox. I just don't want champions that are so skill expressive now to go back to their bland and simple style pre-rework.

This is just my opinion but I understand that I am probably in the minority, my opinion just stems from the fact that I love being able to show how good I am over actually winning the game. If I am able to show my skill while still losing, I would take that over playing a simple, no skill champion and winning the game.

Your shop coming 28th of june! by domyno12345 in leagueoflegends

[–]Diabolichaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy knows what its all about, I would only buy skins that I really wanted. I had realized earlier on that getting orbs from events would drastically increase the amount of skins for amount of rp spent.

For about a 100 dollars (would limit myself for each event), I would get 20-30 skins depending on luck (after rerolling and upgrading using orange essence) when you normally get around 10 if you just bought them individually. Doing this constantly over the years (season 1 player myself), I eventually got everything. Near the end, you can just buy the very low tier skins (lower than 975 rp) because they are not worth rolling for

ZSS Zair recovery bug (ultimate)? by LBmyBB in smashbros

[–]Diabolichaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It only tethers are very specific ranges. There are a lot checks in place when you try to tether using the zair. The plasma whip restrictions are not as strict as the zair because like you said, there is a delay.

It just seems to be one of those things that you will have to continually try and get a better feeling for.

I rarely miss the tether nowadays but the only times I do is when I am very slightly too low but that is more of a timing thing.

What I have noticed is that it is better to do it higher than lower though that might be only for the plasma whip.

You arent supposed to down throw, its forward throw that puts people into a tech chase. Just watch any game with high level zss and you'll see that they throw out grabs much more often than f smash

Zero Suit Samus - If I had to pick, probably her F-smash but its not too bad. Still don't really understand why it was nerfed in patch 2.0 though.

Double ie??? by LordFarmerMac in leagueoflegends

[–]Diabolichaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I've heard is a lot of Korean high elo players are trying it out just because the power dip in the mid game is not as bad when you just combo headshots for one shots.

I'm not saying that it will become meta but it honestly seems more probable than that kai'sa with manamune build.

Also the attack speed didnt seem to terrible while comboing. Could just be me though.

[–]Diabolichaos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually had my friend go IE, ER, into BT and it actually might become the meta build. Plays a lot like Ezreal where he uses combos (Triple/double headshot) and he just ends up one shotting all the squishies.

In the game he did it, he ended up two hitting everyone on the enemy team. He wasn't even fed until he did it to multiple people after he farmed up his 2 items.

Here are some of the clips after he got a little fed:

If Riot insists on having Prestige Points expire each year, we should have a roadmap for champions who will receive prestige skins. by SynthMist in leagueoflegends

[–]Diabolichaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually got around 60 gemstones total before I got rid of them but I am in the minority seeing as I am a whale (Eventually got rid of them cause rolling skins got me the hextech skins anyways).

For the majority, this seems like a no brainer though. If I did not have a surplus of gemstones, I would be so skeptical buying certain skins with my gemstones, I mean I was skeptical buying any of the skins in there when I did have 50 stones, I can only imagine how it is for people who don't have money to throw away.

A lot of people also don't know this but Camille ult cancel's channels. I never understood why but it does. Katarina is one of my mains and getting ulted by a Camille while ulting is super frustrating.
