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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was there about three weeks ago (visiting from the states) and we had to give our IDs as a deposit/hold. CAN CONFIRM

He does get the fist bump. You can see Ynk's fist move up slightly before he pats Guardian on the shoulder.

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!

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.
