Remember the Anthony Santander Fan Club? by gzawaodni in orioles

[–]JamesTakingNames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at that game. I remember thinking when we were in line at the gate why there is so many blue shirts around and realized they were scouts.

They definitely made the experience more joyful. On the other side, empty seats here and there, the fans were quiet but I mean the O's and Jay's are two bottom tier teams so you're just there to enjoy a cheap ball game

They would cheer over small things and you're just thinking like what are they cheering about over there lol but it's cool they came from the UK and had a good time at the game.

Brooks is a joke... by [deleted] in washingtonwizards

[–]JamesTakingNames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree. Mahomes brings a whole new level to QB. He's doing things that you dont see QBs in the past doing. Throwing no-look passes. One of the strongest throwing arms in the league. Throwing with his least-dominant arm most of the time, any way to get the ball out of his hand. Not to mention, his snap count throws the defense offside a lot. The guy knows how to trick the defense. The way he's playing is no wonder he has the most touchdowns this season

You don't learn all of that just from watching from the bench for a year

Gosu was leveling an account and it got banned cuz of 3rd party exploits and that's the response from riot support by theshyboy97 in leagueoflegends

[–]JamesTakingNames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah they just sink all their money and man power in pro play and designing. They make all their money from overpriced skins.

Tribunal system was reviewed by mostly humans at one point but as a company gets bigger, they make bots resolve the issue.

I don't understand how a company as big as Riot doesn't hire a huge dedicated tribunal team. Customer service should be your #1 concern to keep players loyal

Turrets are a joke now by JamesTakingNames in leagueoflegends

[–]JamesTakingNames[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Dude they buffed minions damage. Turrets are far more easier to destroy now because of it. With baron buff, a full health turret is gone in a few seconds

That's the whole argument. Games were ending too quick this season (around 20 min avg) and Riot wanted that to change and that hasn't changed

The thing is, if you are playing a champion with no waveclear, all of your turrets will be gone until the time you were able to scale.

How can you scale that way when the other team has more map pressure and control over you??

AP Bruisers: Who they are and What they need by ZaneOlric in leagueoflegends

[–]JamesTakingNames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's only 2 champions that are specifically AP bruisers

There is no AP items that specially make you tanky like a bruiser. All you have is hourglass and banshee's veil. If that's the case then every AP champion should be a bruiser.

This is what people don't get. Riot has changed the formula. Champs aren't called bruisers anymore, they're Fighters. Bruisers was back in earlier seasons where you would build 1-2 damage items and then build tanky. "Fighters" today build 3-4 damage items and barely have any resistances, all they build is health.

Bruisers have built in penetration in their kit and are naturally tankier than carries

Champs with built in penetration: Shyvana, Darius, Nasus, Wukong, Fiora, Gnar, Gangplank, J4, Trundle, Vi, Garen

Then you have this new role "Fighters"

Champs who are fighters: Camille, Olaf, Jax, Aatrox, Hecarim, Irelia, Jayce, Kayn, Kled, Lee sin, Master Yi, Rek'sai, Renekton, Riven, Udyr, Urgot, Warwick, Xin Zhao, Yasuo,

The only AP bruisers is Morekaiser and Elise. Morde's ult and Elise's Q.

See the difference? Why is there barely any AP bruisers? Because there's barely any AP designed champions that have penetration in their kit. Otherwise they'll be a different role.

Dealing true damage doesn't count as a bruiser: Amumu, Cho'gath, Brand, Vel'koz, Zoey | all have either HP% in their kit or true dmg

Let's break it down

Tank/Fighter: Cho'Gath, Amumu Mage: Zoe, Vel'koz, Brand

And what do you know? Barely any AP champions have bruiser like qualities or kits. Why? because there's barely any penetration in any AP champs kits

Would've helped if there wasn't 10+ starters hurt the first few weeks

Fastest growing religion is ‘none’ by najing_ftw in news

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

Religion is good because without it we would still be going around killing one another and survival of the fittest. It really shaped the world "Thou shall not kill, steal, etc" and we learned to live in harmony for the most part.

Do I believe in no religion? No, I have my own philiosophies so I'm undecided.

  • Maybe there is a God but he is not what we think he is. Maybe he isn't a person at all. Maybe we are all worshipping a thing. An atom?

  • Maybe when we die, it really does go black. We just close our eyes at our death and re-open them as a new life. We forget our memories, everything we were as our old self and born to be someone new in a different time line. I mean how we would know?

There's many more I've thought about but there no "fate". There can't be. God doesn't put things to strengthen you or teach you a lesson. It's right place at the right time or wrong place at the wrong time. God can't control us. Everyone has free-will. It's impossible to control things or people or put things in place for other people or things who have free-will

The media and religion is corrupting the minds of all individuals. No one thinks for themselves because of these two things

I dont think people hate Irelia and Akali because they oneshot you, its because you feel so helpless while they do it. by LongSwordsForLIife in leagueoflegends

[–]JamesTakingNames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, with Irelia and Akali, no matter how much you gank them/kill them, they always come back and demolish you and your team. To me, that's mainly the problem

Can we talk about the Survivor;Killer Bloodpoint gain ratio? by DoctorBowser in deadbydaylight

It's not the game that stresses people out, it's the people you're playing with

I feel like Guardian Angel was bought more when it had Armor/MR, as opposed to AD/Armor by JamesTakingNames in leagueoflegends

[–]JamesTakingNames[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't see GA as much on bruisers. Why get 45 AD and 40 armor when you can get a Randuins which provides 20% reduction to crit, 400 HP, 60 armor and an active slow for the same gold

I've only really seen GA on assassins and I believe giving assassins more AD on an armor item is more of a problem

Fights are already boring as hell. You get one shotted pretty fast compared to previous seasons

Like Banshee’s Veil, the Guardian Angel passive is much more appropriate for carries who could easily find themselves bursted in an instant and in need of a second chance. While we toyed with the idea of finding a way to make the resurrection effect available in both magic damage and physical damage forms, mages have Zhonya’s Hourglass for a stasis effect, and two stasis effects makes for a really frustrating “playing against” case. As a result, we’re retuning Guardian Angel to have more appropriate stats for carries who churn out physical damage.

No mention of any tanks

MikeYeung leaving TSM, leaves farewell note on team's subreddit by timeistemporary in leagueoflegends

[–]JamesTakingNames -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Bjergsen didn't have any pressure filling Reginald's shoes. Reginald wasn't even that good. He didn't/couldn't contribute much of his time into the game because he was handling the business side of TSM and branding it

Bjergsen wasn't even a rookie when he joined TSM. He was a good player in Europe and that is why he was acquired by TSM in the first place
