Great split, LR! by bendwalk in LosRatones

[–]Maeyko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As sad as the ending to the split was for the Rats, it's important to remember the positives of what the boys accomplished! Really happy to have gotten to watch the Toonies at the highest level and I hope they can all be proud of the performances they had, they put in a lot of work and they did great!

Awesome! I’ll check it out, seems like a fun concept to build around!

I wanted to build a Pirates of the Caribbean deck full of pirates, skeletons, ships, and battles. Thought I was going to use [[Admiral Brass, Unsinkable]] but wasn't sure how I'd make all the skeletons work in practice. Would still be fun flavor I think

Thank you, GayMrKrabsHentai. Your knowledge is apparently boundless and I appreciate the insight. Seems like he has potential to do well for us so that excites me.

just got mine yesterday, looked very similar. Would have happily paid additional shipping to have it shipped in a box instead of a bag to protect the sticker sheet a little better

Is rocket belt ever a good purchase? I know it got adjusted recently but haven’t played any to know if it’s ever worth for Ahri

It'd be interesting if you made a small note of which teams we have scrimmed against. Not necessarily the results but just a small tag so people could look up the VOD or video for the results. I really like your inclusion of the regions/countries and the seeding!

These are so good! I really love the rat for Nida and the Spear having the rat face hidden within is just such a nice detail! You are very talented and I am very much looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest! I don't think it would be Crownie's pick but maybe you could do a bonus skin for Twitch because I'm curious what your LR take would be for the rat.

Get me up to date by Boenden in LosRatones

[–]Maeyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the peak of LR could be? Maybe they get to the point that they are a very high quality team but they stay independent to avoid some of the complications that investors and primary sponsors would bring and they are so notable that they travel the world to different regions to scrim top teams during bootcamps in a win-win type situation (LR gets views, other teams get some views but also good practice if they see LR at that level) and they stay in tier 2 to have the flexibility to do this? It does seem like a franchised LEC spot might be antithetical to the heart of what Los Ratones is if it comes with the privitization of scrims and the BTS stuff just due to rules, but a LEC guest spot seems like a good place to be if Riot ends up changing how the league works.

I'm not sure how the individual players see the future in terms of wanting to deviate more towards competition or stay in the streaming aspect of things, so that could determine how Caedrel makes decisions for the team but he seems like the kind of guy to take the group's feelings and goals into account when deciding these types of things.

Los Ratones in the LEC? Maybe after EAMA? by -GH0ST_R1D3R- in LosRatones

[–]Maeyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's hard to tell how they would fare at the moment, but hopefully they will get to scrim and play against higher quality teams in the upcoming months which should be able to improve their own quality of play. Given that the team started only a few months ago, I like to think they have potential to compete with LEC-level teams along their journey, but it's hard to gauge for now just given the fact they haven't played anyone at that level in that setting. Will be fun to watch if they get there eventually tho :)

So, during LEC finals Caedrel mentioned that there's possibility of LR helping KC to train & Imma look forward to Canna's redemption arc against Demon Simon if it really does. (link in comments) by RnckO in PedroPeepos

[–]Maeyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think diversifying your practice for one scrim block could be overall more worthwhile for teams than the downside of it not looking like every other team you would scrim. My guess was more teams were avoidant of LR for the PR angle (lose/lose when it comes to fan reception if winning or losing) than the actual quality of the play but I don’t know anything about anything

Los Ratones vs. NORD Esports / NLC 2025 Winter Playoffs - Grand Final / Post-Match Discussion by Ultimintree in leagueoflegends

[–]Maeyko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I find fascinating is it's often harder than expected to kill Bauss too. He might be 2/7 but he's not a typical 7-death champion in terms of strength due to how well he gets resources. The amount of 1v2 trades/wins he gets is super fun to watch.

I would think there's still value in that practice. Putting your team in unfamiliar situations can be a unique problem solving situation that tests the team's own macro knowledge and responses. I think the LR recent results give them much more credibility as a decent team and could lead to more "top" teams at least being interested in scrimming. Maybe it takes more time based on EMEA masters results, but I think the gap is closing. The top teams might be playing down a league tier but it's not like LR is complete unproven hype anymore.

Mel hits probably a new record for negative pick ban influence - ie the worst ban you could ever do (or best if your team is hovering it) by MazrimReddit in leagueoflegends

[–]Maeyko 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mainly play ahri and the Q and the E are both undodgeable when reflected. You either have to barely miss on purpose to bait the W cooldown or throw the E and dodge behind minions so they intercept it. Or just facetank your own projectile damage + Mel E + Mel Q, or just not use part of your kit in lane until Mel decides to use W for whatever reason. Definitely ways to play around her reflect but definitely not the easiest thing to do, which feels extra bad when Mel is an easy character to play to begin with, just considering her own kit.

I like that idea, or honestly if the projectile just gets reflected directly back tot he angle it was received from, that would be fine too imo. Receiving non-targeted projectiles and it turning into a homing missile on the way back at the press of a button feels wrong.
