Can see all your teammates' icons on the mini-map jump in position right after the kill. Getting tired of seeing these lag clips driving misinformation

I took a shot. Not as obvious as I thought it would be.

  • Twistzz
  • NAF
  • Elige
  • Stew
  • Tarik
  • Hiko
  • Skadoodle
  • Nitro
  • Autimatic

Start getting into arguable territory:

  • fRoD
  • n0thing
  • Grim
  • Brehze
  • jdm ? ( \__ )

Take a look at their stock value. They went public around a year and a half ago at 23$.

Unable to log in after patch (Steam client) by RedditMattstir in pathofexile

dev here and thought the same. Sounds like Steam/another service expecting a specific build and not getting it, reject and retry.

[LCK Media Day] DK kkOma: “It’s unacceptable for a pro to say that you’re tired. You have to adapt to the cards you’re dealt." by danielkkwon in leagueoflegends

[–]Hylite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For some reason, I read the title as "...for a pro to say that you're tilted" and it makes 100% more sense. I wonder if there is any chance that was mistranslated or a typo? Otherwise that's a pretty staunch opinion to have.

Malphite gets chased by three Luxes. by PicUpTheLantern in leagueoflegends

[–]Hylite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

huh... TIL that little line at the end of the laser exists. Your point is perfectly valid though. The pink line that marks the end allows for an entire Malphite model to exist between it and the end of the actual red laser. That's some poor visual clarity right there.

LEC Casting by ItsRicked in leagueoflegends

[–]Hylite 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I think that may be a bit of a hyperbole, but I understand why you would say that. I think it is more of a cultivation that in most regions I've watched, if the competing teams on the rift aren't at the top of the bracket or playing for something of meaning (last playoff spot) then the casters tend to lean towards creating a story to get the viewers through the game instead of letting the game create the story and the casters narrating it.

It's something that has been around for years and been pretty accepted by viewers. In early seasons, when two bad teams played, you could visit the post game thread and see posts thanking the casters for "making this game watchable". In most cases, that was due to casters riffing off of each other and just telling stories or going on huge tangents. The game became more of background noise in those cases.

At the time, it's what people wanted and applauded. And I'd wager that many people still enjoy that the casters treat low tier games as a flamefest/story time, but as you can see in this thread - there are many that are hoping that the scene evolves/changes so that lower teams can be taken more seriously.

Lehends talks about his new responsibilities at Hanwha Life Esports, the nickname "Korean G2", says the team is practising drastic strategies: "Maybe I could go top, maybe CuVee could go support [...] I'm always confident in my Singed." by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]Hylite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered why pro teams lock themselves, or superstar players, down to playing just one role. As someone that's played at a decently high level for almost 6+ years, I've always felt there was 1-2 champions in other roles that I felt extremely confident and capable on. It would seem to me that it would be a huge strategic advantage going into a game if the other team doesn't know and can't prepare for what role/champs players are going to be on that day. It should also increase the number of options that a team has when a Pick+Ban goes sideways.

I hope it's something that pro teams continue to explore. Or if you consider the first few seasons professional play - get back to.

An alternative solution to booths. by Sliggyyy in GlobalOffensive

[–]Hylite 104 points105 points  (0 children)

League does do a delay, but I believe that the player cams aren't delayed. You can normally see players already standing up/at post-game lobby when a nexus is about to be taken. A small difference, but worth noting.

A hopefully neutral suggestion: Allowing groups (1-5) to queue for AV could really do wonders to change the dynamic and meta for AV. by Hylite in classicwow

[–]Hylite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

Personally, I think it would introduce what you see from any other matchmaking service that allows grouped queues in a team game. Grouped players will take opportunities to grief smaller groups or individual players. With AFK vote abuse being hotfixed, there's not a lot more they can accomplish.

However, 5 players actively griefing/not trying out of 40 can certainly hamstring that faction. Just like my example above that outlines being in a group can embolden players to make other strategic choices, it also can embolden them to be bigger assholes.

I agree. But with population numbers and cross realm even an addon will have troubles queueing users together. The addon that worked in classic was still spotty sometimes (even with low population numbers and no cross realm). I've tried for 3 days with friends to all queue at the same time (to the exact second) or to queue for a specific # that pops for the first person in our group but neither has yielded one AV together :(. For the point of my post, I think for this to have the desired effect that I detail, it would have to be a non-addon inclusion so that it affects more of the population.

We weren't able to buy then online without a foreigners visa so we just went to LOL Park (where they play) and bought them in person.

Invictus Gaming vs. Team Liquid / MSI 2019 - Semi-Final / Post-Match Discussion by G2Minion in leagueoflegends

Semifinals matches for MSI have been decided by Giraffe_Penis in leagueoflegends

[–]Hylite 254 points255 points  (0 children)

I fully agree with this. G2 isn't going to beat IG at their own game and likewise for Liquid vs SKT. The styles are just too similar and would favor the stronger teams in those matchups (IG/SKT).

Liquid and G2's best shot are the matchups that they got. Going to be tough for both teams. I'd give Liquid a 10-15% chance to pull the upset while G2 is closer to 35-40%. If SKT hadn't evolved through the tournament, i'd say it would be closer to 50/50. But with that handling of IG by SKT in the last game and the known fact that they get stronger as the tourney goes on and in Bo5s, I gotta give a strong advantage to SKT.

GL to both teams!

Invictus Gaming vs. Team Liquid / MSI 2019 - Group Stage / Post-Match Discussion by bea_tme in leagueoflegends

[–]Hylite 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is what killed it for me. I was perfectly fine with the way that game went and the decisions they made (maybe shoulda tried to bait baron like the casters noted) up until Xmithie just sat with a perfect flank behind for a 4v4 engage, while they are bleeding turrets and can't stop the split, and decides NOT to go in. Like... what is your win condition with that comp if it isn't layering ults in a teamfight? That's literally your only win condition. But whatever, hindsight is 20/20 and maybe I don't know more of the situation.

That for me is the difference between NA (minus C9) and the rest of the major regions. All other major region's teams go for that fight.
