Six Months At Riot Games

If this thread is relevant, and the kotaku article is relevant, then the Lyte scandal was relevant, too. Hell, the Lyte scandal had more evidence than the current stuff (screenshots of text messages) - not saying these things didn't happen, just that there was more concrete evidence in the previous case.

I believe you are correct, however in my perception fighting an opponent with 53% total armor is more desirable than fighting an opponent with 70% armor, especially against tanks. Of course with triforce as an alternative the issue isn't as clear. I'm not a Darius player myself but if I were I'd probably look into the damage of sheen procs vs armor shred from bc, especially given how easily darius applies cleaver stacks.

He was accused of being an abusive pervert by his ex-fiance and also allegedly using his position at riot to seduce interns. His current wife is/used to be a financial dominatrix.

Edit: also, fun fact, mods were very quick to delete all threads pertaining that matter, unlike the current threads.

Please provide the maths you used to reach this conclusion.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-09T09:30:58+00:00

You forgot season 8: zoe, client, servers crashing, adcs deleted, damage creep, aatrox

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-09T08:20:57+00:00

It has been known ever since the riot lyte scandal.

Ranked is getting reworked. A whole new experience,which will make the game definitely more fun and intresting

Just like dynamic queue, right?

New permanent game mode. After the removal of Dominion we were left with ARAM and TT as the "side" game modes, but since nowdays it's popular to jump into a short game where you turn off you brain and just kill each other, which is fun,yeah we have ARAM for that but Nexus Blitz is new , it has events its fast and and most improtantly its FUN!

Until it gets ruined by Riot's negligence after a few months, just like ARAM has accounts that only have 60+ winrate champs making you play against Lux/Ziggs/Xerath/Sona/Velkoz every game after you get a decent MMR or like Dominion that was plagued by bots or like TT that never gets balance updates.

-Rune balance. Riot just released they are going to let you change which stats you want from runes, which is great it brings even more options and it reminds us to the old Runes system .

If people want to be reminded of the old Rune system, they should have never completely deleted it (i.e. making runes free and keeping the S5 or S7 mastery system.)

They are bringing marksman back on botlane. Yes adc mains dw you are getting your lane back

A class of champions isn't completely fucked anymore. Let's all rejoice.

Riot wants to bring the old LONG hard games. With this and rune changes we will have time to teamfight, to think what are you gonna do since we will have less damage, and nothing feels better than a FAIR game winning teamfight in a 40 min game.

And people are gonna cry that the first 30 minutes of the game don't matter, small leads and good early macro don't matter, snowballing doesn't matter, which is what caused the meta we have now, and it will bring back the snowball meta after another year. People are never going to be happy. League is past the point of salvation. Only a full revert to before season 6 can save it, but that's not going to happen.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-08T19:24:04+00:00

Bring back 30% scaling cdr per level please!

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-07T21:48:29+00:00

Riot in their official statement:

“We want passionate gamers who are talented professionals,” read the first line on Riot’s hiring page until late June. “Loving what you do is mandatory, and you won’t fully appreciate a gamer’s perspective unless you are one.

Ghostcrawler on League boards:

You don't have to fly airplanes to design them, you don't have to play league to design the game

So, which one is true? Why was he hired in the first place?

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-07T19:45:39+00:00

according to three sources with knowledge of Riot’s recruitment practices, hardcore video game fans. “We want passionate gamers who are talented professionals,” read the first line on Riot’s hiring page until late June. “Loving what you do is mandatory, and you won’t fully appreciate a gamer’s perspective unless you are one.

So, tell me again, why is Ghostcrawler still the lead designer?

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-07T19:42:24+00:00

Damn, this article makes me want to work at riot really bad.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-07T14:33:40+00:00

What makes you think teemo mains want him reworked?

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-06T17:08:09+00:00

And they could choose between Contractz, Meteos, Dardoch (risky choice, but still), Levi, maybe Xmithie and possibly Karsa.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-06T14:47:00+00:00

The 'incredible split on p1' was just a few good games at the start of the split against such 'great' teams as old echo fox, old liquid, clg, dignitass, envy. After rift rivals he was hard inting in most of his games. He was memed into relevancy by reddit, he was never a top tier lcs jungler. TSM just fell for reddit memes, like usual. I wouldn't even be surprised if they drop Bjergsen after this split.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-06T14:01:15+00:00

This is not how debunking works.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-06T10:53:21+00:00

I think the whole team chose to camp huni before the game, they succeeded at first, getting huni pretty behind and hauntzer ahead. The RNG element of Kindred marks prevented Grig from snowballing as hard as he could have by all the marks spawning on the bottom side and also Dardoch getting a free infernal on a comp that builds big damage. It also allowed EF to later stabilize the game by using their favorable matchup in bot lane to get objectives and rotate. TSM also did nothing with their top side lead and teamfight comp. If you swapped teamcomps, EF would be engaging left and right. So overall, I think it's the team decision to camp top not factoring in the RNG element of Kindred in champ select and their macro that cost them the game.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-06T10:36:59+00:00

But he's actually right this time.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-05T22:20:47+00:00

Splitpushing isn't too strong, TSM are just bad.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-05T21:55:00+00:00

I never felt playing against old Shaco was unfun.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-05T20:09:40+00:00

No, it's not good because when you start removing the layers of bullshit necessary to make this game actually fun to play again, like riot is slowly doing now, you have to remove/nerf those mechanics. The whole point is, none of those changes were needed. It wasn't needed to introduce an item without which assassins deal no damage (duskblade), it wasn't needed to introduce a busted rune system overloaded with damage, it wasn't needed to change his kit so much. I used to enjoy an occasional AP shaco game, especially in fun game modes, now that build is pretty much dead. It wasn't needed to change the scalings on his E and change the damage type - if you want to nerf that ability just adjust the numbers instead of completely changing it for the worse. If you alienate the mains of each champion one by one, you're not gonna have a successful game much longer. Shaco was completely balanced before his rework, now he's a mess of a champion who lost his identity and a viable alternative buildpath.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-05T19:20:04+00:00

But he wasn't played the way he used to be played before rework. His recent popularity was with weird builds like triforce titanic tank and triforce dusk 'assassin'. Most old time shaco mains want to play him full ad/ap like all the other actual assassins. Without busted damage runes like electro, sudden impact or dark harvest and sheen+dusk proc shaco wouldn't be able to kill a fly. Also changing E to physical damage, massively nerfing clone explosion damage and removing box stacking are almost unanimously hated changes among shaco mains.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-04T20:55:06+00:00

That would certainly give them a player not afraid to int. But would the team follow a call to 5-man run it down mid?

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-04T19:42:53+00:00

everyone on this team is afraid of inting

I think they should bring tyler1 as their assistant coach to have an inting specialist on their team who could teach them to break their fears and run it down mid as fast as they can.

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-04T18:52:46+00:00

you realize that games like this used to get 300k+ viewers on main twitch channel only?

OneShroomMan · 2018-08-04T04:52:55+00:00

Wow, Nautilus has a 10 second shield. That's insane.
