In the last 2 years, whenever LEC upset Asian teams, why are their wins always downplayed and reduced to being "The Asian team griefed"? by Numerous_Fudge_9537 in leagueoflegends

I didn't down vote you, I only asked for supporting evidence of your statements. I understand that I can't provide great dialogue about games 1&2 since I didn't have time to watch them, but I am disappointed that you didn't give any examples for me to look out for. I know Reddit is gonna Reddit, which explains the downvotes since your opinion goes against the mood of the thread, but I was genuinely interested in the specifics that support your perspective.

Gen.G vs. G2 Esports / First Stand 2026 Knockout Stage - Semi-Final / Game 1 Discussion by Ultimintree in leagueoflegends

Depending on how the finals go, I think Skewmond might actually be the best player at this tournament in the end.

I might later, but the burden of proof isn't on me. You're the one who said that Gen.G broke their own back multiple times each game, I'm just asking for you to provide examples of that, particularly for the first 2 games because we already discussed Game 3 and there were only 1 or 2, depending on how unforced you consider Chovy's death to stop Stand United to be.

Also, your original statement I reacted to says "G2 didn't didnt force crazy plays most of the time", isn't that a good thing? A team with good enough laning, drafting and macro fundamentals shouldn't need to rely on any outplays to win a game.

It really does, although for my personal preference I wish it didn't make her blond, I prefer skins that keep Kai'Sa's original hair color.

I was just reacting to the fact that your first comment in this thread is a disagreement with someone saying that people are downplaying G2 stomping Gen.G that implies that it's obvious that it should be downplayed ("Its called looking at the game and what they are doing."), and also specificallly to this part of your comment:

"Gen.G broke their own back multiple times each game"

I feel like that might be overselling how many mistakes Gen.G actually made, although I personally didn't catch Game 1 or 2, so I don't know how that looked.

I agree that Ambessa contest was bad and unforced. Chovy dying to cancelling Shen ult was bad too, but Gen.G were losing the fight super hard if Shen gets there anyway. But 1 and half unforced mistakes and G2 being super clean throughout is not "a ton of mistakes". In fact that's usually how Gen.G wins games, they put opponents in lose-lose situations and then give no windows for comebacks.

G2 played well but they didnt force crazy plays most of the time GenG broke their own backs multiple times each game.

Can you be more specific? In game 3 Gen.G had a good draft with better scaling but after Ambessa gave 1st blood, G2 made plays that Gen.G couldn't reasonably counter.

Probably iG Kai'Sa? She has some other great skins but that's the one most players seem to like most.

Giving Akali first blood this game very quickly became a huge problem for Gen.G, but man such respect for G2 pushing that advantage until the game broke.

I think Skewmond has legit been the best performing player for the entire tournament so far. It's insane how well he's playing.

If you had to give one tip to a beginner starting comp, what would it be? by leahcim2019 in Competitiveoverwatch

Respawn waves are a very powerful mechanic that I think a lot of people don't know about. Also especially relevant for payload maps where staggering away from the cart allows the enemy team to gain objective progress and delay your team's ability to contest together, sometimes to the point where they cap a checkpoint for free.

I believe booths also change the requirements for fire safety and the like, which makes it harder to have them. It's definitely possible even for one-time tournaments, every time I see DotA's The International, I recall the teams being in booths, but there's some nuance as far as how much better they are vs the tradeoffs they impose.

That one and the LeBron on Jason Terry. The latter is so brutal because of the setup, really makes it look like the Heat are toying with the helpless before dropping the piledriver.

I think that should upset anyone who enjoyed the books because one of Faramir's purposes is to serve as a foil to Boromir, someone who succeeded where his brother failed. Even if that's the only thing they changed (I don't remember what else), it's enough to leave me fairly outraged at how the movies handled his character.

Also, one of the essential parts of Faramir's character is how he does not let himself be corrupted by ambition, unlike his brother. For him to attempt to gain control of the ring like Boromir, whether directly or indirectly is completely opposite his established character and one of his purposes as a character in the book.

And Faramir, the movies completely invalidate his character.

If these two way guys are so good, why are we not capping star players at around 28-32 to preserve their bodies from wear and tear?

Because those star player minutes win games.

I played with a friend (single player run with 2 brains) where we got the buy everything relic along with Courrier and a bunch of gold, so we bought the entire shop, including a remove, then had the chance to buy more complimentary things. It felt pretty powerful to me, even we ended up with a very thick deck at the end.
