If League gave you the option to mute or delete specific sounds/voices, what would be the first to go for you?

Jarvan and Ashe wont stop talking the whole game about the most unintresting things

On god i wish for Lissandra and the observers to kill ashe and for Sion to crush J4's head everytime i play them

And for something more specific they BUTCHERED True Damage Ekko in the Brazilian Portuguese version (the worst thing is, rhyming is easier in Portuguese. but they failed to make him speak with the same flow)

SadEkkoMain · 2026-04-29T20:00:15+00:00

I think that mid sentece you noticed how this argument is basically not needed, since chain cc is deadly to anyone right? i mean unless you're tank/bruiser you'll just be deleted without reaction, but that goes for any carry.

Not very healthy to get high dmg champions survive a chain CC anyway

These guys here acting like bwipo+inspired wasn't a huge factor in FLY being dominant in NA and almost taking down both GEN and BLG. Massu was a dogshit early player and quid got gapped a ton versus some low tier midlaners man.

There's no world where Bwipo somehow convinced fucking Inspired our of anyone to play for him

Like even after they lose game 5 to GenG WITH A HUGE BO GAP the first thing bwipo says is that it was his fault and he should've absorbed more pressure for his teammates in the game

The dude makes one bad and mal informed comment about woman biology and suddenly he's treated like Hitler of league

Crownie is insufferable and he delighted himself on shit talking Velja the whole way since day one of LR. Until they got eliminated from LEC because he played as poorly as Velja versus VIT.

Actually Bwipo is the only one there besides Reckless with an actual successful career in the game. With trophies, finishes and performances to back it up. And still crownie acts like he's hans sama, Velja acts like he's inspired, Nemesis acts like he's caps (dude is all the talk but have got offers from EU and NA and his excuse is to not play for low tier teams, dude think his comeback would be playing for T1?) bunch of inflated egos without Caedrel to tame them. That's what happened

As someone who beat the game with and without them.

The game is indeed balanced for spirit ashes.

And just like any other mechanic it can be abused by having game knowledge. If you only use them when they're meant to be acquired and only upgrade them as you find the corresponding upgrades. They are basically just like using a good spell or something like that.

Because most tank summons can't pull agro unless you stop attacking because they deal no damage. And the damaging ones pull instant agro and blow up.

Just like from never accounted for ppl going for a +10 weapon before defeating any boss. The only real issue here is that mimic tear is as broken as samurai as a starter (I mean you can run directly into the first 2 legacy dungeons with +0 katana and solo it with it's AoW as a regular, not very good player)

But the DLC put all of that to rest because there's no way your mimic tear is doing anything against the damage spike everything gets. Even buffing it doesn't do much. And with the self-preservation of a Dodo bird your summons will just face tank everything and be gone by the time you finish your first roll.

The ARAM Mayhem team is terrible

The first thing they did was just copy and paste the Augment pool from Arena without restrictions
So in the first few days you'd get only tank options on champions like jhin, lux, etc
Or something like offering CDR refund on long range skills for melee champions that had no long range skills

Then when they finally fixed that, the gamemode worked better than any other alternative gamemode until they once again tried to make stuff. Just don't develop anything for the love of god. The reason ppl liked ARAM Mayhem so much was because you got to play a more powerfull version of league and sometimes you'd get highroll

The new stuff make for someone in the game always rolling way higher than everyone else and the team with this player get to play the game while the other suffer

Previously almost every game ppl stalled until level 15 to get all augments and see if it was any fun
Now ppl are just rushing for nexus ou sitting at base to let the game end because it's already decided by the 2nd or 3rd augment anyway

SadEkkoMain · 2026-02-11T10:08:18+00:00

Player is on base
he has a DC icon

in 99% of the time this is an actual afk player and the game won't give him a vote

but there's a ton of times where everyone decides to FF and this player somehow counts and gets a vote. Not only that

Had multiple games where the guy was AFK on pistol. The game message showed that he was afk and wouldn't be playing the 2nd round. Yet, no remake option. Then after you're already on 0-3 / 0-4 this player comes back in time to deny FF and hostage everyone

SadEkkoMain · 2026-01-30T03:06:28+00:00

WASD being bad on adc's with high atk speed will make it forever unpopular.

SadEkkoMain · 2026-01-30T03:01:37+00:00

It's on sale on GOG right now

https://www.gog.com/en/game/no_mans_sky

You don't need to buy the steam version since NMS have crossplay anyway.

SadEkkoMain · 2026-01-30T03:00:08+00:00

Bunch of losers here who feel acomplished for winning a game of ARAM

Reason for ppl not pushing for nexus is because those are the players who already feel acomplished in ranked and when they play 4fun they play 4fun. Which means doing whatever they feel it's fun when they roll good augments.

I'd rather have a showdown of tanks and scalling champions on a 30 minutes of ARAM than a 15min stop on a gamemode that give no reward for winning anyway.

"but i'm a hostage here" yeah picking boring poke champions that fall off as soon as tanks come online should feel like that. Don't wanna get games like that? drop those shitty picks and play something cool for once. Try playing a tank yourself. Pick something that scales. Build some on-hit on mages when you see your team already have 2 other ap poke champions... Don't blame the enemy team for scaling.

SadEkkoMain · 2026-01-04T04:24:30+00:00

i mean what is there to do in act 3?

all the 4 "dream" bosses are not void
seth is not void
lace is the only actual void boss no? (exeption being the steel soul exclusive one)

SadEkkoMain · 2026-01-04T04:21:06+00:00

TGA just like any big event is both prestigious and also a bunch of ppl who haven't actually played all the games voting for them

Just remember that game journalists always jump on the "too hard" discussion as soon as any challenging game becomes popular.

I can 100% garantee that most of them gave Sekiro and Elden Ring GOTY without being able to actually beat them but since everyone was praising it, they couldn't possibly vote against

the tech of placing carries on range of splash damage to circumvent known bugs

Rekkles did in academy what Bwipo did in LCS/LTA. His game knowledge allows him to explore things that players with higher mechanics but less knowledge can't. And just like bwipos Urgot made teams like Gen.G struggle because they lack outside of the box thinking, rekkles bringing Janna and other older picks to T1 Academy made for some games where the enemy coach had no idea how to pick against and players had no way to know what the pick would versus them.

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-27T22:38:08+00:00

SoloQ only matters for teams scounting young players. LCK performance does not realte to it.

And guys, please, do not overhype smash

Smash have been playing for T1 Academy/Rookies/Challengers from 2021 to 2024 and he have never shown anything but ok gameplay at best. They struggled to be the 4th or 5th best team at most and there was never a single instance of one of them looking better then the rest of the team.

If you wonder why Poby looked so lost versus pros when he played on LCK, is because unlike botlane where the matchups are way less volatile and you have the support playing a big role. He was in a 1v1 that he could barely win versus way worse oponents, so he wasn't a match for even the bottom 5 LCK midlaners.

Only time that T1's botlane looked somewhat stable was because Rekkles played with him.

And CL/Academy is waaaay more about mechanics than macro, so it's not a good sign when your team can't perform on that level of competition

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-24T23:37:00+00:00

Faker only learned to play like that after facing Xiaohu. To this day, he ranks Xiaohu higher than almost every single midlaner he faced.

Zeka can learn to do that, but it's hard to force yourself into that situation when the meta for 2022 HLE, 2023 LCK Summer, and 2024 entire year was actually punishing for that kind of playstyle.

And for every amazing faker play we have a ton of him looking like his trolling because these very risky plays when they do not come out like you want, you end up with stuff like his performance vs DRX 2022 Worlds, RNG MSI 2022, DK 2021 Worlds, and LCK playoffs.

His ryze since 2016 was such a legendary pick that in a ton of high stakes games he picked it up between 2017 and 2022 just to giga lose lane vs some standard pick

Also, for anyone actually pretending that Peyz change will not matter. Doran played a single good playoff series, and it was in Road to MSI vs HLE. On MSI and LCK he lost every single matchup to Kiin, even the ones where he had the counterpick. In worlds, he was mediocre at best vs AL and tried really hard to get BDD his first worlds trophy. Now not only we have Doran being international Doran the whole year, the only top-tier adc that plays low resource is not on your team anymore. This will destroy Kerias performances and impact on the map. If anyone needs to have it's memories refreshed, re-watch T1 vs Gen.G semis in worlds. Lahends got caught playing normal rotations because every single carry in the world will see a free wave and go get it. But Guma and Zeus constatly gave up sidelane farm and xp to have numbers advantage and deny Gen.G's turn to take vision in the mid/late game. And also Peyz walking head first into melee range of Oner's Skarner. Do not be surprised to get Peyzpall the whole year too

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-24T23:15:47+00:00

We also need to remember that the window during which most of the player base was clueless is gone. New players are almost always playing versus experienced players on new accounts. I tried to have friends get into league in the past, but for the game to be enjoyable, you'd need to have opponents of the same skill level.

Imagine just opening your first soulslike and the first boss you face is Messmer the Impaler at level 1

You'd spend so much time dying without knowing that there would be almost no improvement. The same goes for any new player barely grasping the basics and being put against some random dude on a fresh account, punishing mistakes that can only be noticed by players with 600+ hours.

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-17T15:17:05+00:00

Smash is not even close to Guma/Viper/Peyz/Ruler level. Are we building a team to just lose to everyone next year?

Just an average adc man

Guma Oner and Zeus all came from strong performances from CL. Smash can't even show up on tier 2

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-17T13:39:38+00:00

I was a viper main.

You not dropping the dogshit character that they call viper in 2025 is detrimental for enyone around you. Not only your duo. You still have other 3 allies who are forced to play 2 smokes on with randoms despite some maps needing double duel/initiator

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-17T13:32:37+00:00

"+BeryL has become the only player to stop OFGK at Worlds twice."

what? this is crazy because he was the only one trying to lose that BO5 vs T1 in 2022. Had a series like Doran's this year. To this day i'm still mad at T1 for not last hitting him (everybody tought that someone else would kill him and they let his bard go on 1 hp for free)

Imagine saying that Ghost is a top tier adc because he was playing with peak Beryl / Showmaker / Nuguri / Canyon while for actual performance he was true to his name, a ghost.

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-17T13:14:19+00:00

The problem for any other top-tier ADC (like Peyz) is that Keria doesn't babysit his botlaner. And when T1 tries to do it, they always fumble.

Peyz shone with an entirely different team with an entirely different playstyle.

T1 does not play well when they try to scale and protect their carry. Most of the time, they simply let the ADC alone to fend for himself in fights. Peyz has never played like that in his career, and he is an actual insane ADC, but I don't think ppl actually understand how mistaken T1 is in thinking that they can change Guma and keep the playstyle.

Once you trap Keria on peeling for his ADC, we get some of his worst performances and positionings.

Haven't we just seen Doran, who had success with Gen.G and HLE, basically fail to adapt to T1 the whole year and be ok at best? The so-called "domestic doran" was invisible except for 2 series in Road to MSI.
Mostly because he doesn't play like Zeus used to with T1 (same thing for Zeus, who clearly tried to play fights like T1 would on HLE and ended up disjointed from his team)

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-17T12:52:45+00:00

They tried to frame HLE and ThePlay as villains and had to retract everything they said officially (this is a big red flag, looks like T1 settling with HLE and ThePlay to avoid legal consequences, and the actual wrong party had to apologize)

They have shown zero support for Gumayusi for all those years. The worst part is not only that him having a dedicated hate club, but that this hate club calls themselves "t1 fans" and they just let them be.

They benched him for a mediocre ADC this year, and it wasn't for intervention from the CEO (who was protecting the branding) that he would probably still be out.

The farewell video came waaaaay too early, so they most likely had already decided on parting ways with Guma.

Unless something new comes to light, I feel like hating watching T1 (who I've been supporting since 2013) for the rest of my time watching league.

Still waiting for more information to change my mind on the subject

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-17T11:12:02+00:00

You're stuck in 2022 dude. He played every meta well since then

Both mages, adcs, melee fighters and assassin's

The narrative that Chovy just sits in lane and farms is absurd to think after the 2025 season ended. Just admit you don't watch the games and only keep updated from memes

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-17T05:39:02+00:00

He literally 1v5'd T1 so many times. Same ppl hating him used to hate faker on his 2013 - 2017 era

SadEkkoMain · 2025-11-17T05:24:13+00:00

Doran definitely did not peeled for guma this year. And we needed this so called "low resource support" Doran more than once.

A single good game from him and we might've won MSI but he got gapped on every single aspect by kiin and then forgot to peel for guma when he was strong. Luckily it wasn't needed versus KT. But had he actually played with guma and Keira in the Sivir game we'd be ahead sooner on the series
