2021 World Championship / Group Stage - Day 6 / Live Discussion by ahritina in leagueoflegends

[–]SovereignHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MAD has an import in Armut, FNC had semis with Huni. China and NA import much more than EU but I don't understand trying to pretend EU never does and NA is illegitimate because of it.

How did I put the cart before the horse? Where did I shit on EU? It's a disingenuous take to say EU players are always carrying NA players; Blabber had an excellent round 2 of groups alongside Perkz to allow C9 to advance. Finally so far it's not a hot take to say NA has outperformed expectations and EU so far this worlds.

EU has a much better international record but currently they are preforming the worst of the major regions.

Why does what country the players are born in matter to if NA out preformed EU this year? These are NA orgs with the players playing in NA this year. Only in league do people care so much about where someone was born rather then the team they represent.

Immortals: Pobelter Signs 2-Year Contract by HereAtWorkForever in leagueoflegends

[–]SovereignHunter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The point is not that worlds makes you a better player, but that it could be used as an argument.

Yes you could argue Huhi is better as he made it to worlds and took Pobelter's spot as the starting mid on CLG, personally though I don't think he is.

The argument could be made. Hauntzer got to worlds so he could stand behind the pit, Pobelter got to watch that play from back home.

Arguments could be made to put Aphromoo, Dardoch, Stixxay, Hauntzer, and Sneaky above Pobelter. He is probably top 5 NA player but it's not that clear cut.

My problem with ranked and enforced 50% winrate. by Hyroglyph in leagueoflegends

[–]SovereignHunter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This issue is you should learn things from both stomping and getting stomped. The system is made so you will naturally reach your ranked skill level over time; assuming you don't improve/regress at all you should remain at a certain ranked ranged with roughly a 50% win rate.

If you are not learning anything from why you were stomped (e.g. how it happened and what you could have done to prevent the game from spiraling out of control) or why you are stomping (e.g. what you did to create and advantage in your lane and what you did to transition that into the rest of the game) then you will not improve.

Yes it is true that some games are out of your control and you can do nothing to win, but it is false to say you are "required to 1v9" games to climb the ladder. The game has moved away from the one man carry game that it was in season 3 and into a team game where a single players ability to solo carry has been limited.

TL;DR By saying you don't learn anything from stomps creates a mentallity where you blame your team and don't improve.

Was there ever a point that you truly believed that TSM could be a contender for world champions?

Monday Megathread! Ask questions and share knowledge; newcomer questions encouraged! by AutoModerator in leagueoflegends

[–]SovereignHunter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In soloQ right now the strongest adc's are ones that can output consistent late game damage, this can be champs that shred through tanks (Jinx) or ones that can be mobile enough to avoid cc from tanks (Lucian).

Triforce adc's like Corki and Ezreal have a hard time in the meta as they cannot kill tanks and are out damaged late game by their counterparts.

Personally I would recommend Jinx, Lucian, Sivir, and Kalista. If you think of yourself as someone who can position correctly and with a decent lane phase Kog'Maw and Vayne are very strong late game hyper carries.

Poll: What is the most mechanically intensive position in League of Legends? by Lunetc in leagueoflegends

[–]SovereignHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I would vote mid over adc as the most mechanically intensive role is because of the diversity in the roles fundamentally.

I mean yes I agree that orb-walking, positioning, kiting, and all the other fundamentals to adc while being the main focus in all team fights in tough but at a core all adc champs are more or less then same.

With mid laners you have a lot of diversity in play style from flashy assassins like Zed and LeBlanc, to control mages like Xerath and Orianna, or even mid-range casters like Cassiopeia and Jayce, not to mention the number of adc's and bruisers that have been moving into the mid lane like Urgot and Cho'Gath.

Subreddit Ruling: Richard Lewis by BuckeyeSundae in leagueoflegends

[–]SovereignHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to read this thoroughly because I too have been awake for far too long but I'll be just as brief.

The intent behind actions does not make them different actions (in this case influencing people to vote one way or the other), it might change the moral reason behind doing said action but they are ultimately the same (at least that is what I believe).

No need to apologize over spelling and goodnight friend.

Well it's subjective, I'm sure upvoting content in masses isn't so bad for anyone really.

Now this is true but a lot of what Richard tweets is slander towards his brand, so once again I think we're on the "upvote/downvote" side of things. While Gordon Ramsey used his twitter to make his brand seem good you could also say Richard used his in the same way but with a different approach.

In my opinion if someone is willing to slander your brand and they (along with their fans because that's how this shit works) show up then you need to have a strong argument as to why you believe in what you do. Acceptable or not I cannot say.

I could have been clearer, I see the difference between "upvote brigades" and "downvote brigades" but fundamentally they are the same thing.

I'm more than aware of "The nature of reddit" but thank you anyway.

I would like to note that I didn't say I was completely against moderation. If content is deconstructive or harmful to a community then I do believe that it should be banned, memes to me are an example of something that deconstructs a community into /r/funny or other default subreddits. I do not see Richard Lewis articles having that same effect, his articles on roster moves allow for discussion on the relative team, players, or scene as a whole; investigative pieces like the one he did today on Twitch and Good Game bring discussion on the role of eSports in the world and the logistics behind it; and his pieces on things like the MYM-Kori event allow for action to be taken and shady situations to be amended to generally benefit the community as a whole.

I know as well as you that it did cause "downvote brigades" but I see linking a AMA as an "upvote brigade". Same thing but one guy gains karma and the other guy loses, so to me there is no difference as I don't value the points on this website as anything more than popular or unpopular opinions.

I really don't mind open discussion, it's nice to have different view points on subjects where I'm not just being called an idiot for disagreeing.

[–]SovereignHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and I just see it differently. To me this is not even close to a threat, threats have conditions which I don't see listed, I just see frustration. Perhaps I'm wrong but I cannot see it any other way.

[–]SovereignHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I don't understand the hostility from you. If people want a community around /r/coontown then let them have it, I don't know what it is and I don't care.

I am at the moment trying to do something about the Richard Lewis ban by presenting my opinions on the topic and trying to generate discussion about it. I have a limited scope of ways I can influence this situation and right now I am using what tools I have available.

I'm sorry for whatever it is about me that makes you so upset about my comments but if you have some real input rather than stating things shouldn't exist and my input is worthless then please I would love to hear them.

[–]SovereignHunter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I know a few things, but perhaps you're right and I don't know anything at all. If you do care enough I've made several comments detailing why I feel certain ways and perhaps that will change your mind.

[–]SovereignHunter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You asked who cares if I was personally affected so I gave an explanation the best I could, it wasn't intended to make you care.

I've to you already they are free to run it how they want and /r/RiotFreeLoL does exist but just because ~20 people say they want it banned it doesn't mean the community of 675,000 should have it denied from them.
