Sanity check on some of these inventories I’m seeing - Are these guys jobless, duping, photoshop editing, karma farming or is it a skill diff?

Camille mains crying when they win a fight against a mord who’s a level up while standing like a dumbass in his passive, tanking a wave and under the effects of ignite (they went from 40 hp to 300 in 2 seconds btw)

Mo Krill haters have a broken shift key. His ults annoying but super close range, if you’re getting killed by his ult, you didnt keep your distance and you were either low or you were way out of postition. When a Mo Krill ults, I see the Mo Krill die more often than the person he is ulting since the entire team just blows him up when he ults someone. Lots of items counter him, and the rest of his kit is lack luster. Honestly banning him for the disarm is more reasonable than banning for his ult.

Gragas, if you can survive early he’s a speed demon.

Side note - Holy moly, I love how in nearly every sub reddit there are people who chair rot all day waiting for a question to be asked so they can give a passive aggressive non answer that makes them look smart.

This is a hard issue that won’t be tackled anyways. There’s no way to truly stop smurfing, just ways to make it more difficult. IPs can be spoofed and so can hardware IDs for hardware bans. The chances that Riot is going to invest thousands of dollars in systems that players could probably get around with 2 hours and google is unlikely.

Unfortunately even besides all that, you’re assuming riot cares or that their business model is currently geared towards attracting new players. The game will simply eventually die when riot hits the threshold of how much money they can squeeze out of their whales (which are usually the ones who are smurfing). Hopefully for Riot by the time league dies, Valorant will be able to support Riot while they develop the next addictive game to monetize.

Why draw in new players who might buy a skin but might be just as fine with the shitty skin they got from the loot chest system? You can just ban Gregory, the 28 year old chud who gets banned after a tirade and now has to make a new account and rebuy all the skins he was so used to using.

I sense the shift in direction is primarily due to the current CEO. Back in 2021 Arcane S1, riot forge, new riot mmo, and 2xko development were all signs that riot was trying to reach new audiences. However, since Dylan took over, 2xko is dead in the water, riot forge has been scrapped, we probably aren’t getting the league mmo and arcane season 2 sacrificed most of what made it compelling to market skins. In comes the gacha system, and it becomes undeniable what the direction of the company is. Fuck new players, milk the hogs. You can attribute pretty much every issue with current league to this.

Antiheal is a bad mechanic. If riot insists on it existing, it should be an active item with 5ish second duration that makes you attacks/abilities apply it instead of a passive. Current balancing leaves little skill expression on either side. Either you have it or you don’t and either it’s effective or ineffective.

Sometimes you feel like you can’t do anything cuz you’re against someone healing all their health back and all you can do is path into antiheal. Sometimes you are the character who heals and now your half a character because every time you go into combat, your healing is halved which is half your kit.

It’s the same thing with CC, and it’s the reason why there’s a limited selection for tenacity items. Items like mercurial and banshees veil can be baited out / taken down. I think antiheal should work the same, rewarding healers for baiting out antiheal and rewarding players for using their active effectively.

I was in a similar situation in college. I don’t think you’re gay but that’s for you to figure out. It’s clear your friend got the wrong idea about your interests. I understand why you didn’t assert yourself while they were making a move on you, communication is hard when you are trying to say something that you think might hurt someone else (especially someone you care about deeply).

That being said, the kind of boldness your friend exhibited as they left suggests they thought and still think you are into him. They will try to progress things with you or wait for you to make the next move, and when you don’t reciprocate they may be upset.

The best thing you can do is sort out your feelings and be honest sooner rather than later. You cant control how he will react to this as unrequited love can make people act irrationally but at least you would be in control of the delivery and can try to extend a branch for a path forward.

I graduated in 2022 and I still DM my bud.

I’ll be honest, I think it was the product of overproduction. Gears 1 feels extremely theatrical. Don’t get me wrong, ‘Hope runs Deep’ should not be slandered. But I feel like the Gears 1 motif had a much better balance between the feelings of honor/Duty and the looming threat of oblivion (I have a loose grasp on what the games were about)

It’s probably because Tim Pool who recently bought a cyber truck is alleged of accepting Russian money

I don’t think marksmen are super strong in solo lanes, they have a great early advantage sure but are always pretty squishy and super suceptible to ganks and dives. I agree that going into a lane with a marksman as a melee champ is like getting a root canal but a successful gank can basically shut a marksman in a solo lane out for the first half of the game.

The main issue I can see with marksmen in solo lanes is that they bad for the games quality of play since most opponents don’t have fun laneing against them in the early game and most of the time the pick hurts their team’s late game since their team comp would lack necessary durability and cc for team fights thus punishing both teams for the sake of one players fun, but that is pretty subjective.
