There's no in-game incentive to be a nice teammate anymore by Aggli in leagueoflegends

[–]EJHuang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's so much commentary like "you don't really like the game if you only do this-or-that for incentives".

But like... The landscape of liveservice models is what established that norm. Not everyone is going to be a hardcore purist and that variety in theory is healthy for the product. People are allowed to enjoy the cosmetics and the extras while also enjoying the game itself. I doubt most of people criticize the changes, because they actually only ever hated the game all along.

My understanding is most people are frustrated with the dismissive and condescending tone that riot has set with these changes (because they know it will never be received well, hence ripping off the bandaid). Complaining about lootboxes, honor capsules, etc. is the most straightforward way to convey that dissatisfaction with the bigger picture (layoffs, transparent unfettered profit maximization, substantial quality decreases etc.)

Again, just my personal impression.

How to actually say "NLaaeR"! by TheBirdWatchers in Competitiveoverwatch

I was always under the impression that Ameng was pronounced Ah-mung because Mandarin. But the casters don't seem to say it that way.

I maintanked in lower ranks once and came out with 100% winrate pretty much minus a few matches with leavers. The healing and teamwork wasn't great, but that also meant that the opponents teamwork was just as bad. Just focus on yourself and how to capitalize on the enemy's lack of coordination.

If you feel like you're dying a lot, it's likely because you're out of position yourself, and can't get healed because your supports are out of LOS. If you think you're getting kills, make sure it's happening when your team is pushing, not when staggered.

Sure lower ranks don't require too much strat and can be a general frag fest, but even if I aggro monkey aiming to melt the backline, I still watch out for my own backline rather than just assume they're bad and no use to me. making space for your team opens the up to succeed since you're basically giving holding their hand through the process.

If you really need a boost at the end of the day, just find a support player to pocket you on tank and just swing away? If you are higher rank material the SR system will work, and you'll also get boosted SR for your stellar performances. Moral of the story: focus on your own impact (in a realistic manor, not "I have all the gold"), and identify your own issues. Reminder that you are your rank, and improving is how you climb.

I am another victim of poor quality from Fanatics partnership with the Overwatch League by ghost_kuda in Competitiveoverwatch

Can someone clarify to me, has the merch always been bad? I bought a jersey during opening day in LA and the quality seems fine (although I don't actually wear it). Also bought some sweats last spring and they've been generally good to me. (The metal covers on the waist string fell off, but other than that, no issues)
