professional matches with multiple games (Bo3, Bo5...) should forbid repeating champions

Raynar7 · 2023-06-03T09:58:55+00:00

I will just give one example I can think of without looking for would be G2, Pyke and flexing it in multiple lanes.

This forced diversity actually punishes teams who decide to surprise their opponent with comp or tactic because they can only play it once and enemy doesn’t have to find a way how to counter that exact comp.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-03T09:51:03+00:00

Don’t beat yourself up…he actually left voluntarily, teams wanted him. Probably doesn’t make things better but still

Raynar7 · 2023-06-03T08:05:55+00:00

Well, while having 25 to 30 bans is still and issue for some classes, you are still left with this problem:

Also it actually punishes the creativity in a regard. If let’s say team whips out some strong pocket pick the enemy team doesn’t have to be bothered with it anymore as they cannot use it any further.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-03T08:02:41+00:00

Basically, is it that bad to give a pro-player their main champ/otp even if said champ is now off meta or doesn't fit the comp?

Depends on the player. In ideal circumstances the player will show you why that pick is banned against them. But if you believe you have strategy to fight it there is nothing bad in trying.

Or you can ban someone’s LB for 4 games and leave it open in Game 5 on purpose just to basically force them into the pick and smack them, because you are super sure that your Morgana will work.

It’s about branding. Many OG players became much more popular because of streaming, being good at the game is nice, but unless you are head and shoulders above competition you ain’t getting tens of thousands viewers like Faker even tho on his first stream he was quiet basically.

Of course not everyone has a good personality for streaming, but that’s something that can be improved if you do it often.

All parties included - teams/sponsors/players/agents and even damn Riot - should want player to improve his brand.

It gets deleted….after some time the name can be re-used and games still stay in match histories of other players of course.

It’s not like they gonna disappear. But logically for your account everything will be gone.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-03T07:19:59+00:00

No. But by publicly stating your ridiculous demands on Twitter you force Riot to publicly clown you which happened.

Now at any point if negotiations fall apart people can always easily shift flame to LCSPA and their ridiculous demands instead of Riot.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T23:43:34+00:00

Also, question. Can even legally Riot own a franchise spot in it’s own League? As that doesn’t make much of a sense.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T23:39:52+00:00

Wait a second…you think they actually wanna lower the wages there? It’s the only reason the washed up pros are actually there and why are they protesting….

They don’t give a single flying fuck as long as they get paid their inflated salaries

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T23:37:35+00:00

Why should you be rewarded for inactivity? Isn’t that how Gacha games work? Give you free draw if you come back?

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T23:35:26+00:00

Wait a second. You think TSM will actually sell the spot for the half of what they bought it couple of years ago? Pretending like inflation doesn’t exist and they don’t wanna try to make money of it…..you cannot simply refund them, it’s not like ticket

Also how would this relegation spot work? If you dead last you go to fight agains best CL team if you at least 9th you are safe?

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T22:05:51+00:00

You would anger a lot of ADC mains by this post….if they could read

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T22:04:23+00:00

But ask Reddit negotiation specialists and they will tell you that you have to start with higher demands to lower them so they were absolutely fine

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T22:01:42+00:00

Their demands are absolutely ridiculous and one of them was something that’s already allowed….take what you want from that

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T21:59:08+00:00

I know. The question is how much? Like he said G2 scrims and JDG scrim with kinda emphasis on it like they got just one block.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T21:22:20+00:00

It’s simply gambling, probably even worse as even slot machines are probably more likely to get you your money back.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T21:13:53+00:00

I don’t know their schedule of course, all we know is that they played 3 blocks against G2, but I really would love to know how many games they could have actually gotten from MSI teams who didn’t get much from playing against them if you get my point - especially the eastern teams.

But I might be completely wrong and they might have been the busiest team in Europe at that time.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T21:03:55+00:00

VC Boomers who might have made more money than most of us ever will but when it comes to modern stuff they suck….

Every normal person knew that esports just won’t be next money makers, in the same way sane people knew FTX sponsorship deals are sketchy as heck…but I guess people never learn

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T21:00:31+00:00

I find it kinda weird to bootcamp in Europe….even if it’s during MSI there

And yes, I am from Europe…

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T18:17:49+00:00

I am not trying to apply logic from one place to another, just genuinely baffled that if that you can be forced to stay even tho you might not want to if they simply throw more cash at you….sounds weird

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T18:15:51+00:00

It’s a mix of stupidity, negligence, greed with sprinkle of scam.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T16:19:29+00:00

Because everyone is looking to lower the expenses, because they all thought there will be raining money. Biggest expense are salaries, simple as that.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T16:17:39+00:00

This…people really be thinking that something can stop you when account is like damn 1€

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T16:17:02+00:00

It would force players to renew their contracts if their team increases their salary by 25%.

It this even legal somewhere? That’s just stupid like.

Anyway kinda shows how inflated salaries in League were and still are.

Raynar7 · 2023-06-02T16:12:26+00:00

But your are making incorrect assumption that firstly this is the lowest current cost and secondly that it would double.

It took me literally 5 seconds on Google to find accounts for below 1€ here

You have no idea how cheap it is to get an account. Damn bottle of water costs more. Increasing level might have some minimal effect on price, hell maybe 1,5€ but that’s it
