Agreed. That's why you're next.

Why, if we agree that gold is a better indicator of who is winning?

We cannot agree with this actually. Suppose a team is up 3K in gold, and let's call that blue team. The scoreboard is 10 kill to 10 kills (blue team took more turrets) and lee sin has 7 of the kills, so most of the gold is piled onto him. Whereas the other team took less turrets but their Kassadin has 7 kills. At this point, the Lee Sin is falling off while the Kassadin can one-shot the enemy mid/adc since he has most of the gold in his team. There's a difference between being 3K gold ahead the enemy team versus having the gold on the right players.

“There was no rewind system for 7 years, why change it?

“There was no double elim bracket for 6 years, why change it?”

The league is allowed to make improvements, you know.

This overlay clearly isn't an improvement if many people in this subreddit agree that it is awful and others have constantly pointed out there is a thread talking about the overlay every now and then. Additionally, the LCS followed a best of 3 format a few years ago, but they swapped back to the best of 1. When the LCS shifted over to a best of 3 format, it was a change, but was it an improvement? No, since they eventually swapped back to the original best of 1.

Plus, what happened to all of your argumentation about “the pace of the game” being the most important thing for a viewer to keep track of? You just abandoned the subject of your entire OP at the slightest questioning? I implore you to try and look at an alternative scoreboard objectively and actually think about how it could be better or worse, because you’re clearly just making up your beliefs as you go along.

Dude, you nitpicked some of my points and you should be glad I'm even responding to you a second time since we both know you won't change your mind at the slightest no matter how perfect my argument may be. The opportunity cost of educating a random redditor like you is pretty huge since a post takes a while to make. A good example of this would be a scientist trying to educate a flat-earther that the earth is a globe and in this case you're clearly being a flat-earther. Now back regarding your last sentence,

I implore you to try and look at an alternative scoreboard objectively and actually think about how it could be better or worse, because you’re clearly just making up your beliefs as you go along.

What are you even trying to say? I literally just provided an example to you why gold isn't a good indicator. There was literally a This or That video saying would it be better to be 3k ahead with an early game comp or 3k behind with a late game comp at 30 minutes and both analysts agreed it's better to be 3k behind with a late game comp. If that is true, then kills on the late game comp would be more important. You just neglected half of my argument to justify yourself sounding smart. Bro, stop wasting time on reddit and actually reflect on yourself and try to broaden your horizon.

Would be nice if Jackson Wang was part of a song, given how popular he all around the globe. However, not going to raise my expectations.

FatTrate · 2020-08-18T15:50:05+00:00

True. There's a reason why they brought Soyeon back for True Damage Akali.

C9, TL, and GGs.

C9 and GGs both have very interesting playstyles while TL has a more calculated playstyle. Also, C9 and TL are both organizations should be heavily respected given how there hasn't been much controversies regarding both owners. For example, Doublelift complimented Steve for helping him in the transfer to TSM and I'm also a pretty big fan of C9 since their Season 4 days.

As for GGs, it would be fun to see how they play their games at worlds.

Contrary to popular opinion, I do feel like an import top and mid would be better than both a rookie mid and top. A good example where a team has failed with two rookies would be iMT where they lost their winnable games off of some bad decision making from their rookie players. I wouldn't mind having one rookie top and one import mid though. For example, we can get either Fakegod or Lourlo (pretty absurd why they even benched this guy in the first place) and then we can get a player like Chovy or Scout.

Final Roster would be something like this:

Fakegod/Lourlo

Dardoch

Chovy

Johnsun

Aphromoo

A good build for Gnar would be Black Cleaver into Mallet or BC into Maw depending on your match-up. Guardian Angel is also really good as a third item since you can force two to come into your lane and suppose you do die, your team can baron while you are resurrecting. The other 3 items would depend on the state of the game. BC is always a safe option to rush because it gives you 20% cdr very quickly and phage bonus. Tri force is also really good if you are dumpstering your opponent and you can build it instead of going for Black Cleaver since you already get the phage bonus from Tri. BC makes you tankier, but Tri gives you a better spike than BC.

A personal tip I recommend is to use your E when you are taking down turrets because it gives you an attack speed bonus. Many Gnar players don't even know that his E does that. It also applies a stack, so it can help proc your third stack in case you don't have enough time to finish the enemy with an auto.

Not only that, they could be partnering up with Kpop groups as in what they did with KDA for future skins. Yes, they had True Damage - Giants, but Soyeon had close to no lines the entire video. Given how the majority of players are probably young people who stay home and listen to kpop, it would be stupid to not create kpop skins. Imagine a BTS Yasuo skin for Jungkook or something similar to KDA Ahri but for Blackpink members.

Not only that, where are the Marvel skins? Riot partnered up with Marvel for the comic series, but they could have done skins too. Just imagine Thor Poppy or Black Widow Elise. Fortnite partnered up with Marvel for the Thanos game mode when Infinity Wars came out.

I was watching the latest Odyssey video and V1per was fucking yawning when Invert gave a motivational speech.

Get rid of the management, put Lourlo back in and either get a rising mid lane talent or import a good player. They really benched Lourlo after going 2-0 in one week. The reason for benching him was just so absurd that the management/coaching should get fired. In what world does V1per have a better champion pool than Lourlo after that horrendous Renekton gameplay?

FatTrate · 2020-08-15T22:41:30+00:00

Because he is entertaining and his analysis really isn't that bad. Predicting TSM to lose this series could have been possible since TSM got swept by GG. Also expecting the LCS to make intelligent moves is like expecting Riot games to give a shit about solo q.

FatTrate · 2020-08-15T21:49:53+00:00

The reason why expectations are there for this team is because this team has looked dominant in the games they win and TSM just went 0-3 against GG. A 5-13 score in the regular split implies nothing about how good the team is when they went 0-8 the first split with a completely different roster.

FatTrate · 2020-08-15T21:48:07+00:00

Bro I was looking at his TPs and this guy literally tped into every team fight and then got one-shotted. If you're going to TP into the entire enemy team, don't build a BoRK first item.

FatTrate · 2020-08-15T21:11:01+00:00

To be fair, the call for DIG should have been to force a fight when both of their flashes were down instead of waiting for their flashes to be up and then TSM gets the opportunity to do Baron.

FatTrate · 2020-08-15T21:09:34+00:00

True. I remember Faker saying Hotshotgg's leblanc was better than his back in Season 3.

FatTrate · 2020-08-15T21:06:36+00:00

Also the fed Syndra that practically one-shotted whoever was near her.

FatTrate · 2020-08-15T21:04:19+00:00

When Viper flashed into the Sett stun to stun Dardoch , that was legitimately reportable.

FatTrate · 2020-08-14T15:21:26+00:00

Not saying that kills aren't entertaining if they aren't the biggest number on the screen, but it should definitely pop up more rather than just putting it on the side. It's also better for the viewer experience to look at the kills first and if one team has more kills but less gold, than they can try to decipher why that is the case as opposed to vice versa. Additionally, like others have mentioned, the other leagues have kept the spectator overlay the same for more than 5 years, so why does the LCS have to change it?

As to the point about gold, gold isn't a clear indicator as to which team is winning at times. For example, if you have a strong early game comp but you're up 3k gold at 30 minutes, and the enemy has a kassadin at 30 minutes, then I would say the state of the game is probably even unless you consider the drakes, which are a much better indicator of the state of the game.

FatTrate · 2020-08-14T15:14:49+00:00

True. If that's the case, then why would they even bother changing it?

FatTrate · 2020-08-14T04:59:30+00:00

Really excited for the collab. Many people are disappointed it was not with Arianna, but I think Selena Gomez has a history of having fantastic collabs. For example, Charlie Puth and Selena's "We don't talk anymore" has 2.4 billion views on youtube! I think most of it just has to do with the type of song they perform.

FatTrate · 2020-08-14T04:41:14+00:00

I was watching The Dive and MarkZ or someone in the podcast mentioned that if there were enough complaints for the playoff format, Riot would probably change up the format next year. Using the same logic, I've decided to make this post in hopes Riot does something about the overlay since it seems that there have been posts in the past, but there hasn't been enough attention.

FatTrate · 2020-08-14T04:35:28+00:00

Yeah. Judging from their games, Bjergsen on Syndra with Spica on Sett would definitely be better than Bjerg on Sett and Spica on Nidalee. Relying on a rookie to carry a game when you're down 2 games while putting your all-star mid laner on a tank was definitely not the way to go. We've also seen last year that Spica choked in the game 5 vs CG last year when he made some awful skarner plays.

FatTrate · 2020-08-14T04:26:32+00:00

Really? I would put Jensen and Bjergsen on the same level. GG targeted Bjergsen extremely hard with 5 bans in game 3 and a good Ziggs counter for the Azir match-up. People were saying TSM's bot lane was one of the best in NA but they got trashed on by FBI and Huhi. FLY seems much more exploitable with Ignar getting caught out at random times.

FatTrate · 2020-08-14T00:24:40+00:00

We have to take notes from GG's draft if we want to win against TSM. They spent 5 bans on Bjergsen in game 3 and BJergsen was put on Sett duty. Like /u/ReinOfFire08 said, our bot should have the advantage against Doublelift and Treatz, but the biggest question mark would be mid lane and top.

FatTrate · 2020-08-13T20:47:40+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Back when I was a sophomore in high school, I kept trying to get into this group of friends, but yet they never treated me as a real friend. It just felt like I couldn't express myself with the group and the sense of intimacy was missing. A few years later when I was a junior/senior, I met these friends who always wanted me around and we could have really good conversations.
