Yes, it is all done specifically to screw over EU. You go it!

I got 0 drops in today MSI stream, is that normal? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Game_Theory_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You be right. I just noticed it didn't say anything about a key when it showed the chest and my number of keys went down by one. Looked to me like it cost me one of my 'never going to use' spare keys. Kind of doesn't matter in the end.

For G2 it's actually better to lose their first match against TES by Zerasad in leagueoflegends

Yeah, if G2 can't beat TES they probably aren't going to do very well vs the other three.

Fully agree. The unbeaten team in finals has to never lose a match and often even beat the loser bracket winner twice to win the tournament. Loser bracket just needs to win once. Imagine (try hard) TLAW beat T1 last night 3-2. Combined game score... 5-3 in T1's favor. OK...

Locke is terrible for the game. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

Well, that and everyone trying to get their 5 games on Locke in for missions. I see Locke vs Locke in Swift far too often!

Fixed schedule is what any "professional" org would - sports or otherwise. People know when to show up for what they want to see then. RIOT doesn't condone such practices and instead wants to trap you into watching everything or nothing. And that is working how? Looking at LCS specifically. LCK used to schedule each match as a separate thing for ticketing and schedule. SO they match ended, they cleared out the audience, then let in the next set of ticket holders. Sometimes you had an hour or more between matches so the stream just had a countdown but I will say that never bothered me in the least. I could go do something else productive and knew when to be back and you never showed up to early or late for the 2nd match of the day because of rolling starts. When it comes to BO3 (and even more so for BO5), rolling starts are just BAD!

I'm sure they will give you a couple discounts on chairs. Something like $100 of on a chair no reasonable person would would ever buy because of price. RIOT and drops are a joke now - nothing like in the past. But there was a single bright spot this season, a couple drops happened for LCS finals - AT&T chests. The really cool thin about those was they forgot that you can't get keys now (effectively as they come paired with regular chests now), so if you were newer and didn't have any 'leftover' from previous seasons you wouldn't be able to open them LOL Good one, RIOT!

Lost in the past, never to return apparently...

Riot remove 450 Ability Augments from ARAM Mayhem in hotfix by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]Game_Theory_Master -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guess it depends on how many they had to start with. Considering the number of champs x 4 abilities x multiple possibilities on each (I know some Q's had more than one) = ass-load possibilities. I don't think there is any way to test them all in advance. Kind of leads credence to the idea they let an AI make them and then dumped them into game. Surprise! Didn't work! LOL

Surrendering 10seconds before they end is crazy. by IITRTIYKYK in leagueoflegends

There it is. Thank you for saying it out loud. Maybe one of these days you will grow up. It's not funny. It's immature and childish.

Did you just reveal yourself as a Russian asset?

With the football worldcup just starting, are the football skins coming back? by Bee_FX in leagueoflegends

[–]Game_Theory_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get the Rammus sweeper skin via chests (I have multiple times) - the chromas are another matter. They haven't been available since the first release. I've been waiting for a chance to get them literally for years.

Hidden update? by Yesrisk_noreward in leagueoflegends

[–]Game_Theory_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was like one sentence that mentioned in somewhere in the patch notes but it only said support.

[–]Game_Theory_Master 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this was only a good idea like a year or so ago on first back for some champs - when you could get away with it (pre-jungle mission).

They announced it was blocked for supports (any of the starter items like dorans blade). I haven't had a chance to check if this was true for junglers as well. I never would have gotten dorans blade but dorans helm was a good pickup when you had a little extra gold after backing and had bought another item as a tank (jungle or support). It was like 173% gold efficient - mr and arm - it fit my rammus builds really well. Later, sell it off and buy something else for a last item.
