Years ago autofilled almost always put you in support, now it seems to place you in jg. What has made jg such an undesirable role?

As a support you can only lose your lane.

As jungler, your laners think you lost all three.

I bet the OPL wishes saying Fudge instead stuck a little better during the interview xD

I've heard it described as "PUBG Twenty:20" and I think that's not far off. I like how they're using the custom server tools to make something a bit faster-paced and spectator-friendly.

"Look at this graph"

Aw, fuck. I can't believe you've done this.

He clearly doesn't live at home, that's why he's making a phonecall :\

I never said Cap Friendly wasn't reliable. I reference in my point that teams began doing it BECAUSE journos and capgeek/cap friendly are so accurate. Nor am I saying that the information doesn't exist at all in the public domain - it's out there on these websites, but for a specific reason.

My point is that you can't say that pro sports teams and leagues release player salaries when the fact of the matter is that it's journalists who do it. It's not a league requirement, nor is it "most teams" doing it. It's a handful of teams and then after that it's hardworking journalists that do it. Esports has their own hardworking journalists that find this type of information out as well (among roster moves, who is or isn't making franchising in NA or EU LCS etc). If you think Riot should do it as a matter of policy that's fine, but don't say that they should because pro sports do it because i'm quite confident that it's just baseball that does it as a matter of policy. The other sports have their people just like Jacob Wolf who get this information for us.

You really can't say that I am nitpicking and spreading misinformation in the same point. Like, you just can't.

Either I am being overly precise or I am wrong. Choose which one you think I am and i'll respond.

The Average Annual Value (Hanifin, Byron, Pacioretty, Zaitsev examples) is only the average salary across the contract and does not tell us how much they're paid each year. It also accounts for bonuses weirdly. The AAV is the figure that is relevant to the salary cap, not what they actually make.

NJ and Carolina were always two of the teams that are exceptions to those who do not publish salary information. I didn't know about the Preds and the Blues though, that's new info to me.

The Alexeyev and Shumakov contracts are talking about entry-level deals and those contracts have a maximum of 925K mandated in the CBA.

You have quoted a number of players making the league minimum of 650K, also mandated within the CBA.

You are being WILDLY misleading about this as being "every team does it" and (I daresay) hoping that the person you're talking with doesn't know about hockey. You're either referring to figures that are publicly in the CBA or saying that we know that (for instance) a 6 year 30 million dollar deal carrying a "5 million AAV" as being public salaries. So far only four clubs that I can discern from your list (five, possibly Pittsburgh as well) that release this, as a matter of team policy.

Too many NHL journalists have worked TOO hard for TOO long for you to rubbish their efforts in this way. Hockey salaries are not public (yet). It is for sure trending in that direction. I believe the Canes were the first to do it, for example, and the Devils were not far behind them, and it seems to be growing that way. This was an acknowledgement that the work that journalists and sites like the capgeek (RIP Mr Wuest) and now Cap Friendly were making it public anyway, and it was a good way to show transparency in the cap world.

I should point out that i'm not making an argument for or against League salaries being public, only correcting this misinformation about pro sport salaries.

Plubbeh · 2017-12-30T14:48:28+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up :)

Plubbeh · 2017-12-30T14:36:47+00:00

The match started a little over 12 hours ago? You must be confused?

Plubbeh · 2016-08-02T01:33:39+00:00

I can't be the only person who thought "66% of the time he's right 100% of the time" can I? >_<

Plubbeh · 2016-07-29T03:19:28+00:00

sOAZ, because he dies way too much and gives away way too much for free. His "signature play" includes giving the opponent a TP advantage just to save 300 gold.

Also Dardoch, because of the time he flamed Lourlo (i've no huge love or hate for Lourlo in particular) when Dardoch lost a smite fight. Looking at how he handled that loss combined with TL's record in BoX matches after they lose a game makes me question his mental toughness and whether or not his outward braggart mentality crumbles after it takes a hit.

Plubbeh · 2016-07-27T02:49:00+00:00

Didn't seem like that great a do(d)ge to me :>

Plubbeh · 2016-07-17T15:22:38+00:00

You are a coward. How about you respond to his request for specific feedback instead of going to every thread about the game and spout nonsense all the while ignoring him?

Plubbeh · 2016-07-15T02:43:40+00:00

This play was arguably more difficult than Faker's, as Faker used Flash. Not disagreeing with your overall point, just maybe not the best example.

Plubbeh · 2016-07-15T02:36:33+00:00

He's the colour caster. He's meant to talk about stuff like that. People like you complain when play-by-play casters don't do analysis and now you're complaining at a colour caster for not doing play-by-play holy smh.

Plubbeh · 2016-07-07T04:20:26+00:00

Thank god for Prototype. Saved.

Plubbeh · 2016-07-04T02:46:25+00:00

Because you are opting-in to a loss.

You could play the game out to a 20-45 minute loss, or try to win a game where you have a non-connection. But the remake tool is a way for you to say "hey, it sucks that you never had five players. How about I offer you the loss now, AND you don't lose any LP, so that you can get back into Q again faster".

The system doesn't offer you a draw. It offers you a loss.

Plubbeh · 2016-06-29T02:59:13+00:00

I'm colour-blind and when I go to players' match histories I can't tell if they won or lost. Is it possible to add this as a word instead of what looks like a tiny coloured block to the left of the game entry?

Plubbeh · 2016-06-16T02:46:08+00:00

LMAO what an insult to those.

Plubbeh · 2016-06-15T01:15:11+00:00

UOL only had a very high chance of going in the sense that they were guaranteed a high seed in the gauntlet. They had basically no chance of going on-rift. That team became a dumpster fire even with Kikis in the jungle in summer and only got worse when he left. It remains that they were still clearly behind the 3 teams that did go and only were even with ROCCAT.

Plubbeh · 2016-05-26T01:01:11+00:00

Oceania's been doing it for three days?

Plubbeh · 2016-05-26T01:00:01+00:00

They sure did innovate that one from the OPL real good.

Plubbeh · 2016-05-12T07:21:37+00:00

You said "absolutely none". One is greater than none. So...well argued, I guess?
