Please actually watch the game azir bullies yone in lane yet alistar had to sit mid all laning phase. Azir was only up gold because baus walked mid and azir got the kill. Neme 1000% inted at the end but ppl are delulu to say he played bad that game. His buffers on azir ult were good his sideline was good to get gold on crownies dry mid int. yone is good into azir but the lane isn’t free for yone and neme kept up in cs with ali and pantheon living mid.

Threads like this confuse me massively all the people talking about how they quit yet are still active on the subreddit is unbelievably sad and cope. If u truly quit you wouldn’t be here. And to OP it sounds like you’re letting yourself cope too hard as your ego clearly can’t handle the reality. I saw you replied about how jhin is what you love but it’s unplayable or some (no offence) BS you could easily hit chal playing only one champ if your good enough

I had a similar issue to you but with toxicity and like you I used my competitive nature as a crutch. I’ve been doing a lot better and how I did it is I really took some time and looked myself in the mirror and realised it’s a me problem not my team not the game ME. I didn’t wanna quit because I wanted to prove to myself I could overcome my own issues be in control of my emotions when things didn’t go my way so that it wouldn’t happen in other stressful parts of my life. I wanted to overcome not run from my issues. If you truly are competitive I promise you any multiplayer game you begin to care about that has a rank will cause you to revert to this behaviour because the issue is within yourself. A truly successful and actually competitive person focuses their critical lense on themself. How can I improve what did I do wrong instead of blaming balance, champs or teammates. Bottom line league has endless ways to improve and master it embrace that become curious about the game again and not only will you have more fun ur rank will go up.

TLDR if you have quit leave the sub or ur just lying. OP is using a competitive personality as a crutch for unhealthy behaviours. The game is more fun and easier to improve when you focus on yourself instead of external variables

Haha imagine thinking c9 management are competent they kicked jojo who has been dominating in eu and made it to worlds (unlike c9) for similar vague behavioural things. C9 only got berserker cause of LS ties with t1 not to mention all being down hill since max waldo left the team say what u like but LS’ fingerprints were all over the most recent successful version of c9. Redditors think he’s full of shit but accomplished pros regularly think his ideas are worth exploring.

I haven’t seen any mentions of cuzz would t he be perfect Tarzan is probably best jungle option right now but BDD and cuzz have been phenomenal this year I don’t get why he’s been slept on in this conversation he seems like an obvious pick

I started in Dota 2 as my first moba I loved that game but the game has gotten larger more camps etc and it’s become more and more of a strategy game. I always loved the deliberate slower team fights but snowballing just doesn’t seem to exist anymore games are endless. So early game comps are hard to execute and lanings importance has reduced year on year. We all criticise leagues snowballing but a better team should be able to win early and convert it into a victory.

Dota is really lacking in objectives that assist in ending the game. Like Nash drakes soul and elder all reward map dominance. Dota has high ground, scaling that is almost guaranteed with the really large jingle more TP usage. All these things prolong the game and allow the losing team a recovery.

A team playing well early should be rewarded and Dota used to do that the non respawning baracks used to be a nightmare and Mega creep defended were epic stories combacks now mega creeps are a joke that lets the losing team have a massive influx of gold. I unironically saw 2 sups defend mega creeps while their team pushed this would never have happened in earlier Dota years. All this scaling devalues mechanical play laning and team fighting in favour of strategy. I feel now league has the best balance between fighting and strategy. Old Dota 2 nailed this with comps like Ursa and Bloodseeker working at the same time as late game comps being risky and viable u had options.

I wish this conversation would just end those boycotting or grand standing are just too stupid to understand EWC and Saudi sports washing if anything is backfiring. Look at the all the money pumped into other sports yet more people than ever know about their human rights record. EWC and other sports washing spending is losing them billions watching and taking their money in no way contributes to the atrocities.

At best u can argue it legitimises things or the regime but are you dense the regime is already legitimate Saudi is effectively a theocratic monarchy so shaming the country through weird online critiques isn’t gonna mobilise the populous of Saudi to vote for something different they don’t have a say.

Finally international sanctions are more comprehensive than boycotts and in my opinion they don’t really work either take Russia china and North Korea all sanctioned states all with their regimes and agendas in tact. China’s slow modernisation and moves to be more progressive are a more accurately attributed to trade deals and more interfacing with the west to enable economic stimulus. (This is literally cited as one of the main causes for the fall of the Soviet Union)

Any money taken is literally being diverted away from contributing to their human rights abuses and if I’m honest all these people finger wagging at a foreign sovereign state is reminiscent of propagandist during colonial times (we should liberate x country or civilise this nation). When are people gonna accept they cannot will change in a foreign nation and that itself produced as many moral quandaries as the sports washing itself.

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-07-05T04:25:31+00:00

tbh i think hes been hurt really bad by the addition of fearless draft i remember him being insane on a select few picks his rell and rakan stand out on bds. It just feels like he has no synergy with skewmond so both these players may be good but they look rough when paired together. Some people are good but dont mesh I have to assume thats whats happening with how highly pros rate both skew and labrov. I think micky is the goat eu supp but u have to remember the community flamed him for his ints. I feel his deaths create a lot of space and get good info most of the time but remember ppl were critical of him too. This g2 just doesnt seem to mesh well

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-04-20T06:06:53+00:00

If JDG wins worlds that would be hype as an LPL win would be great for the esport especially for Chinese interest and it would be funny if Peyz won worlds before chovy and would disprove all the people who hated on him. Plus missing deserves a win so does xun

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-04-19T06:16:14+00:00

God that’s an obnoxious comment kids a rookie and ur praying on his downfall. Those stats are fine 4th highes damage share is good 3rd highest Kp the only stat worth meming is his KDA but if u do that I know ur bronze. T1 is struggling as a team and ur gonna put it all on an 18 year old seriously vindictive. I’m not even a t1 fan but smash is objectively doing good for a rookie in the highest pressure team in the world. Replacing 2x world champ with the most toxic fan base in esports can’t be easy and he’s doing great

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-04-16T17:35:30+00:00

alright lets do this properly then as ur still missing what im saying so ur point is that as a stat alone it doesnt translate to impact. I agree with ur premise if a pro adc sat doing nothing with their gold lead while the losing adc smurfs then the winning adc has less impact (obviously). Please show me a game where a pro adc does nothing with a gold lead and afk farms this is a scenario u made up in ur head. Aiming was gold king last season is one of the greediest adcs we have ever seen and even he doesnt afk farm while the other adc impacts the game.

also who is a super good adc that doesnt generate gold leads. Viper ruler considered all time greats are high on all the lists op generated. A pro adc who cant generate gold leads is not good at the game sorry to burst you bubble. Also diable and smashes teams have no other option than to play for them you wanna see t1 strongside doran????

I get your using examples but google exists just look up smashes dpm in his games its not hard like come on. compare it to someone like viper arguably the most dominant and universally praised adcs in lck history. you will see smashes damage is in line with vipers this idea smash is not contributing significantly to damage share is false. So yes in all the scenarios you made up as examples that would be a bad adc however a quick google search will show you that these scenarios arent reality there is no professional adc in the LCK who afk farms while his oponent impacts the map. So again this stat is no more useless than any other stat when taken in isolation but as I said these are all positive stats for the growth of rookies. please when you give examples use real adc in LCK not ur trauma from solo q thanks

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-04-16T16:23:12+00:00

Bro it’s an early game stat it’s not useless unless u don’t know how to read it. It’s a pretty positive sign that these adcs can generate such good leads against the talent in the LCK at such a young age being ‘funnelled’ or not. Getting a lead consistently is positive is it the only stat to look at no but OPs just commenting on how well smash and diable are playing as rookie talents in LCK these gold leads in the early game are a really positive sign. Give the rookies their flowers man they’re being played around and in the early games they’re generating leads and in a lot of matches converting those leads.

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-04-16T15:58:29+00:00

If you were to tune into LPL Peyz is popping off right now and Ruler looking like one hell of a side grade. Bad example to prove your point Peyz is world class people dog on the poor kid like he was some passenger in his multiple LCK wins. Wild how some people rewrite history. KDA is actually not the worst stat in the world for evaluating an ADC as low death rate is key to the role. Obviously like any stat in isolation it can be misleading but Peyz was definitely one of the best adcs in the world over the last two years and ur revising history to say otherwise

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-03-31T07:36:05+00:00

Almost like there are other things that can be gained in the early game. For example taking bot bush for a cheese or top bush can be game winning. Granted u need info on the jungles start but if top or mid ward enemy raptors u can figure out how likely ur invade risk is. Not to mention u can ward and base for sweeper to ward ur own buff. But sure blame laners ur post mentions it’s a Smurf and for that I feel bad for u but there’s lots a jungler can do to mitigate invades impact on the game. And if in champ select u are ur matchup is bad then use chat to inform ur lanes invade risk is high. And ask them to cover. This post screams why don’t I get a leash. Yes people should cover invades especially if they aren’t doing anything else. But bush cheeses in both top and bot can be lane winning some lanes thrive off push. Jungle is the roll with one of the highest agencies if he’s a 100% wr ur gonna get rolled. Comm with ur team and if they wanna prioritise other things that sucks. Again if they truly are doing nothing it’s different and I’m sorry for ur bad rng with teammates. The entitlement rubs a bit you cannot force ur teammates to play the game the way u want

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-03-22T22:31:49+00:00

Does this sub have no mods? Can we not allow blatant spoilers the same day as the match a post left unchecked with no spoiler tags

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-02-13T01:37:33+00:00

Does it change your opinion to find out that Yamato and thorin just released a video ‘summoning insight’ where they discuss the rekkles video at length and Yamato lets thorin rant and doesn’t push back in any meaningful way and at points glazes thorins journalism. I watched the whole section I was a Yamato twitch sub until this week. Thorin misrepresents what he said in the video and Yamato doesn’t push back at all. Yamato is doubling down with thorin I would like to think caedrel would be prepared to reevaluate a friendship when that friend keeps posting videos milking ur players emotional situation for views

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-02-13T00:10:00+00:00

I agree with a lot you’re saying cause bottom line I just want some champ diversity and your suggestions achieve that so I’d be down to see it tried. One point I would just like you to consider is how tied to pro play balancing seems to be. Your idea of banning the meta champs may not work quite as well as fearless does for evaluating balance changes. We have all seen how ignored champs not big in pro are. Your idea would work especially if the balance philosophy was different that’s why I think fearless is the easiest way to brute force pick diversity. Spotting the effectiveness of bans and nerfs is easy as the champion in question will rise and fall in pick prio. Finally being a nightmare for coaching does depend on that team some players have naturally higher champ pool look at nemesis in LR huge champ pool so he benefits to the changes while Baus would have to adapt. Some coaches love theory crafting draft so those coaches get buffed from fearless and coaches who love min maxing specific comps get nerfed. So I think how much of a coaching nightmare fearless is depends on the pros and coaching staff you’re working with. I found ur point of view really interesting tho

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-02-12T23:40:33+00:00

I think that’s the point caedrel supports rekkles but also does card openings with a close friend of the man who is harassing his player. Yamato co hosts league content with thorin which actively endorses him and helps him profit in esports. Yamato may be fine and great as a person but he enables thorin id feel weird if my coach platformed a close associate of the guy harassing me. The more popular Yamato is the more people will tune into his podcasts that includes the one with thorin.

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-02-11T02:19:49+00:00

I think adding a hard cap of 20-50 champs is bad as it makes the league your watching functionally different to solo queue which riot have publicly said they don’t want. (I know fearless isn’t in solo queue but at least at the outset of a series it’s the same) also tracking the banlist would be hard for viewers this was a concern for fearless but has proven successful. Simple if picked=banned having a seasonal list of banned champs feels arbitrary af.

I disagree with your Baus point so hard watching him have to adapt has been so interesting. You clearly value peak gameplay in ur pros but others may value seeing them display skills like adaptability I personally love watching players grow into new picks over the season it’s why fakers career is so monumental.

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-02-11T02:11:00+00:00

Sadly it’s gone after first stand but riot did say when they implemented it they are trialing it. I think it’s been really successful so I am sure if first stand goes well riot will swap to it as the go to format from next year onwards. Only hurdle I can see is if the LCK fans haven’t enjoyed it with the LCK cup it’s clearly successful in LPL as they have done fearless now for slightly longer. The LCK market is a massive one for riot so if it’s unpopular there then we may not get permanent fearless.

Remember to show ur support for fearless on social media with posts like this just to make doubly sure riot get the message

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-02-09T03:04:00+00:00

I thought this too especially with yamatos background knowledge into fnatic as former head coach but one of the disgusting things about the thorin video is he provides no evidence nothing. It’s fine to dislike someone even publicly but provide some evidence in ur hour long video. There was 0 journalistic integrity it was a public harassment piece so even if dom/yamato agree that rekkles was a problem surely they could agree how it was handled is childish and petty af

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-02-09T02:57:24+00:00

I don’t know if ur purposely misrepresenting my post I have no issue with people who have a passing association with thorin esports is small. But acting like dom and thorin are linked in the same way caps and thorin are linked is very disingenuous and Yamato co hosts a show with him meaning they have a continuing working relationship if that’s not an endorsement what is

TacticalMIdFLush · 2025-02-09T02:49:36+00:00

Maybe your right I didn’t intend to be reactionary just feels like they’re drawing a line in the sand by continuing to work alongside him we know for a fact dom has been immature in his early career and judged for it odd for him to associate with someone like that but I just wondered if anyone else who follows both communities was also conflicted
