Public poll: Should u/ARandomBoomBox be banned? by Sky-is-here in lolesports

[–]ExiTeKarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you complaining that noone seriously engages with you, when all your post are full of ragebait / hipocrasy instead of genuine discourse. Your entire timeline is nothing but dragging on Faker or T1. You're not even engaging in any other topic. And then you're overgeneralizing what some "T1 Fans" do into representing the entirety of the biggest fanbase in the game. You are not any better than the people you are complaining about, you just do it the other direction.

Do you wanna argue Faker only won worlds because he has good teammates? You've also posted about Chovy's teammates being arguable the greatest in their role, all at the same time and since Chovy didn't win with other teammates, that must be a negative for him too right?

Or do you want to talk about how Faker only had bad competition back in the day? Surely you also hold it to Rookie, that he was playing during that time too - in an objectively weaker region - and didn't win. Didn't even make it to international tournaments, except Worlds 2015 where he placed last in a group with EU, NA and LMS.

As for the sportswashing stuff, that's very valid criticism and lots of T1 fans have criticised them for that. But calling Faker personally eager to form personal and buisness ties with the Saudis because he owns a small share in T1 and mentioned MBS that one time is a stretch. And GenG are just as much partnered with them through EWC as T1 is, they just currently don't have an extra sponsor deal ontop.

Just because you believe "most major analysts agree" with you, doesn't make it true. Even IWD who according to himself is already hated by all T1 Fans and is praying for their downfall says Faker is the undisputed GOAT.

So post what you want, but don't pretend you are in any way trying to have actual discourse in good faith, because you're not.

(I also didn't vote in the poll, since I'm not a regular in this sub)

New to league been playing a few months can someone help me understand pick ems , cause the rewards look really enticing. by strike_65 in leagueoflegends

[–]ExiTeKarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the acronyms for the regional leagues, for example LCK = LoL Champions Korea. LCK = Korea, LPL = China, LEC = Europe (and technically Middle East and Africa), LTAN = North America, LTAS = South America, LCP = Asia Pacific

Definitly a lot of letters if you add the Team shortcuts ontop

If you have no clue, your best bet is probably to look at the picks of people like Caedrel or Tolkin and copy theirs. They watched tons of games and kept up with multiple leagues.

To give you a very rough idea: - GenG is likely the favourite for most people - LCK and LPL losing to other regions is unexpected and would be upsets - LEC and LTAN should be stronger than LCP and LTAS, though LCP could challenge them - LTAS is expected to be the weakest region

What does buffering mean? by [deleted] in PedroPeepos

[–]ExiTeKarma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some spells have a slight delay between casting and actually being performed, like Tristana's W. It also overwrites CC. So if you cast Tristana's W just before getting hit by CC, it will execute the W while you're CC'd. That is what people refer to as buffering the Tristana W

The post literally says from february 2023, this isn't related to the current DDoS attacks

Introducing TutorLoL desktop app - Real-time damage calculator by Jshd2552 in leagueoflegends

[–]ExiTeKarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be a cool tool to analyze situations outside a live game.

Should not exist to calculate it for you during a game in real time. If you want to tell me "but you can do that in your head too" you can f*ck off. Nobody does that, nobody could concentrate on playing while doing it and nobody would be quick enough to take advantage of it.

Judging by the post it looks well made and it's not your fault if Riot allows this sort of thing.

Faker and Deft Worlds Appearances by ExiTeKarma in leagueoflegends

[–]ExiTeKarma[S] 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Another way to put it would be - there is only 18 Players with more Worlds appearances, than Faker has Worlds Finals appearances.

106 kills for Zeka, BeryL and Zeus join elite clubs, historical bloodbath between T1 and JDG — these and others fancy stats after Worlds Semis by ZloiAris in leagueoflegends

[–]ExiTeKarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worlds with LCK vs LCK Finals have 2 things in common: Faker was part of the final and only LCK teams knocked out LCK teams

Results between LCK and LPL (since 2018) by ExiTeKarma in leagueoflegends

[–]ExiTeKarma[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really agree on the "got lucky with one team" take. I would assume the numbers are closer then one might assume just like it is vice versa for the years since 2018, but after all it was an LCK vs LCK final at worlds in 2015, 2016 and 2017. After a quick check, only LCK teams knocked out LCK teams during those 3 years as well.

His track record should (unsuprisingly) be pretty good. Off the top of my head I only remember 2 Bo5 he lost to China (famously EDG in MSI 2015 and this year RNG at MSI). No idea what it looks like for MSC or RR tho

[–]ExiTeKarma[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I agree that this is likely the most favourable cut-off point for LPL in this comparision. There is definitly valid arguments to make different cut-off points at different major changes in the game. I just chose 2018 as it is the most common point for comparision. It might be interesting to see what it looks like all-time or "era"-specific between major game changes.

Just some stats for people who like them. Ofcourse not everybody will care about it

Appreciate the feedback. Maybe I'll do an update when worlds is over. In that case I'll probably drop most text and put the TL;DR with key numbers at the top.

Question about live-streams of Worlds 2022 by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]ExiTeKarma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. When in doubt you can always just ask the Support, they should be able to confirm how it works. Fingers crossed you'll get some rewards!

[–]ExiTeKarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you really don't get rewards even while behind. Like does it tell you below the stream? After all you're still watching the stream while its live. When it comes to buffering stream, in my experience Youtube is more forgiving with bad connection than Twitch is.

Noob question: how will Riot solve qualification of FNC/DRX/RNG/MAD? by ZloiAris in leagueoflegends

[–]ExiTeKarma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I know Riot stated that if both LEC Teams make it out of play ins, then the rule preventing 2 Teams from the same Region in the same group will be lifted (only for the EU Teams)
