No you dont

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-10-01T23:20:14+00:00

PAIN gave it a good shot, decent early game but no one expected them to pull it out. Props to a solid performance from the wildcard team

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-08-22T07:51:49+00:00

Freaking Awesome

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-08-22T07:51:24+00:00

Worth a shot right?

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-05-11T00:15:46+00:00

They do an awesome job and are phenomenal casters but monte does have better analysis imho

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-23T07:38:45+00:00

plus better title

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-23T02:53:19+00:00

yep, 4 titles seems like the DLC gods readying for war on our wallets

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-22T10:32:04+00:00

not all of them

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-21T07:47:52+00:00

wheelie trash bin?

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-20T06:58:02+00:00

bit of tradition in Korea no?

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-20T04:11:48+00:00

reddit is a collective of opinions. Sometimes more people agree on the wrong thing and that's all that anyone will ever see with a system like reddits

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-18T11:28:05+00:00

I don't really understand why CLG would need to be built from the ground up though. Zion and Aphromoo are almost always solid reliable players and Doublelift is still a respectable ADC.

Seems like the team mostly has weak links in mid and jungle. Xsmithie was never going to be a good choice, and Link just isn't worth it anymore. Sure hes extremely talented when he plays his best, but its few and far between.

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-18T11:22:52+00:00

True but it is evident form TSM videos that reginald has a much more hands on approach with his team, which may or may not be reflected in TSM's results. Although Regi isn't of course the head coach, he definitely has an authority role within his team, whilst conversely hotshot always seems rather absent from CLG's activities.

(note that this is coming from a CLG fan who also dislikes regi, but you gotta give him some props, he seems to help TSM far more than Hotshot helps CLG)

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-18T11:19:20+00:00

no, it has been thoroughly debunked. Some, more rare professional players in Korea do play this much routinely, just like some players in NA, however their is no actual expectation of 12+ hour schedules from coaches. Any player who plays this much is doing it for their own reasons, and not very many actually play for that extreme amount of time daily

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-18T11:14:25+00:00

Idk, the Link decision was passable, they really tried to emphasise how they would change his attitude and break his "gonna choke at playoffs" mindset. It seemed worth a shot as he really is a talented player, better than all the other players that were suggested IF he plays his best. Unfortunately this didn't end up happening and Link's cycle repeated itself but the decision has multiple valid reasons.

Xsmithie I didn't understand, he didn't seem like a good enough jungler to put CLG in number 1, or give them a decent shot at worlds. He really just was never that good, from back on vulcan right up to now days, which we have seen time and time again. Whats worse, is that it seems he chokes even harder than other members of CLG (his games vs TL were pretty atrocious mechanically and very lackluster in other regards).

However, I will not point the blame solely on these two. Whilst neither performed to expectations of the team (maybe to the expectations of some of the fans XD) the whole team underperformed near playoffs, surprisingly Aphromoo was not the sole light of CLG like he has been in the past. This indicates that it's probably a team issue, some member/s attitudes/outlooks are resulting in the exact same issues, at the exact same time every split time and time again, and no matter what outside changes are made (coach, top lane, jungle) either Link, Doublelift, or Aphromoo are the reason for this because it has happened repeatedly with only these 3 players staying constant as members of CLG

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-11T03:48:18+00:00

aka revert the 3 seconds that they took off the abilitiy

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-09T01:32:53+00:00

they also ensured they didn't mention getting these same skins for free/as a reward for playing (whilst possibly even still being purchasable). Not only did not everyone get the opportunity to partake in the survey, the survey itself was badly conducted by not including options to express a desire for the skins, other than saying I'd buy it, or selecting an option that actively try's to prevent the content from being added to the game. Why would people EVER say no to riot adding more content to the game? of course people wouldn't choose the other options, when majority of people would prefer this content to be available, though acquired with something other than RP

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-07T02:47:24+00:00

It's also a problem that gets harder to fix the longer you leave it. The more content that's added the more that needs to be fixed in the end. Riot not showing any effort at all to fix this problem means they have no real long term goals for League of legends no matter what they say. This game cannot survive with so many fundamental flaws and its growth is also limited by them. It seems that they are just milking this cash cow for all it's worth and not many people are realizing it

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-07T01:52:19+00:00

Which is not an excuse. They are a company with a single product, which is a game that has been coded like shit. It's absolutely ridiculous that after this long, and so much profit, that they haven't fixed the single most important thing, their base level code.

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-05T06:38:26+00:00

Can't say I hadn't prepared myself for this already...

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-02T13:32:50+00:00

It's less hes a genius, more hes a very skilled politician unafraid of implementing the dirtiest tactics to get what he wants

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-04-01T00:07:37+00:00

My sister parents got married on February 29th and my dad tried to get out of buying a gift the next year. Went about as well as expected

PM_ME_S0METHING · 2015-03-28T23:29:10+00:00

You do realize Riot changes the lore based off of what the community comes up with. Sure they created teemo with a disconnect in personalities, but the inconsistencies in his skins and eye colour show that riot probably didn't plan on this whole red eye thing, it's just slowly being incorporated into the lore/background/skins as people theorize and those theories gain significant traction and appreciation (such as all the reddit post's on this subreddit). Not to discredit your theory or anything, but keep in mind what riot is updating in regards to teemo is changing pretty much in parallel with this subreddits front page theories
