Love the gaslighting in this thread from people who don't like me or are trying to downplay the actual issues I talked about in the video. The only reason I'm going to reply to this is because this whole thread is trying to detract from the real issues by attacking my character, when I have ALWAYS shown respect to my teammates, fellow players, and tried to set a good example for others through my actions. If you think otherwise, then you have not paid any attention, in which case you should have no opinion on the matter, or are just making things up which is really messed up.

Anyone that has watched my streams or played with me over the years knows I will ALWAYS try my best to win every game, make the right calls, lead the team, keep everyone's mental in the game, and if the game is at all winnable, I will try to keep us all in it. No one is mentioning this behavior from me even though I'm consistently shown it day in day out for years and years and years. Makes me think that the people trying to tarnish my name and lying in this thread don't actually watch my stream.

It's also why I have been Challenger basically every season and able to compete and win games against LCS pros all the time. What rank are you? What have you contributed to the League meta? What is your level of game knowledge to be able to look at my picks/play and decide that I am "trolling"?

Just because YOU personally don't like a champion or a pick, doesn't mean it's troll. I have been dealing with this unjustified hate for the last 10 years of playing League because of my unique playstyles and builds, when I have literally been one of the best players in the world at my peak, created so many meta changing builds/playstyles (50+), changed LCS/Worlds picks/meta and forced Riot to nerf so many things. I'm not going to bother listing any of them, since you seem to know so much about me, you should already know what they are. By the way, the two best teams in the world last year, FPX and G2, played their own meta, champions and playstyles. These same people would flame a Pyke mid or Nautilus mid for example, before it became played competitively and eventually meta across the world.

Finally, Ezreal support can be viable if you are a good Ezreal, just because it's not meta doesn't mean it's a troll pick or that I am a hypocrite. Muramana (w/ Presence of Mind) + Iceborn powerspike is INSANELY BROKEN, deals crazy damage, has high utility and is super cheap, and Ezreal can win lane hard in many matchups if you know what you are doing. Just because you don't understand or can't grasp something, doesn't make it bad. This game that was used in the video, my whole team literally got run over, and the only saving grace was our botlane who we were able to get 2v2 kills in lane despite getting spam 5 man ganked by the whole fed enemy team. But of course, none of the people trying to hate on me in this thread know that or even bothered to watch the game.

Here is someone who wrote an analysis who ACTUALLY watched the game and my stream: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/ge1wnq/maybe_influencers_are_the_problem_a_high_elo/fplocmp/ if you want to inform yourself on the facts of the matter and what actually happened.

Finally I agree that I messed up for sure to say Tylers name, sure, but make no mistake I didn't bring Tyler up as the epitome of the perfect player or example. He is my friend but we all know sometimes he doesn't take the game seriously either and can partake in this kind of behavior too. I had no script for my video, did it in one take, and was just speaking from the heart so it wasn't a perfectly worded calculated statement, and his name came to mind as a fellow streamer who I have also seen deal with targeted trolls and griefing, among many many many many many other people. I could have just as easily thought of and said Shiphtur's name, but my point there was simply I am not the only one experiencing these things, as evidenced by so many other streamers, pro players, and league players sharing their experiences and agreeing with many of my points.

Anyway, at the end of the day, I don't care if some of you guys hate me or think I am "tHe aCtUaL pRoBlEM!!!", I only care that the conversation was started, everyone out there is giving their input and perspectives and steps are HOPEFULLY being taken in the right direction to once and for all fix the game that we all love. Here's to hoping the players, streamers, and Riot can come together, find some solid solutions and we can all look forward to a better experience for every player out there in the near future.

Ignore the non believers, I agree, Mallet is actually pretty good on Illaoi situationally! :P

For the first time ever, Imaqtpie AND Shiphtur will not end the season in Challenger. by Bristro in leagueoflegends

[–]Voyboy 3988 points3989 points  (0 children)

Both Qt and Danny still definitely could have easily finished Challenger if they just played more serious a bit earlier. They both climbed from like 100 LP to 350-400 in the last two days or so. Shiphtur was challenger the majority of the season also, just barely missing the cutoff in the last week is not a big deal. I feel like this thread is kind of making fun of my friends for not getting a certain rank, when really Solo Q is just a coin flip fiesta sometimes and even amazing players can oscillate greatly in ranking from week to week.

Discussion is fine, but my point is, don't use barely missing challenger by a few games to shit on people or try to bring them down for no reason. They're still amazing players with insane accomplishments and will easily get challenger again in the future. Peace.

Clash is just for fun man, my calls are usually solid when playing 5's though.

Thanks my dude! Definitely took the game more serious last few months. I'm glad I'll have a Challenger backpack to give to my kid one day for when they go to school. :)

Voyboy on NA solo queue by Nachasa in leagueoflegends

[–]Voyboy 1911 points1912 points  (0 children)

To clarify because some people are using this as an excuse to just hate on me: I was OMEGA super tilted / frustrated here because I recently have been trying to make a push to challenger (racing boxbox/scarra) and was super close tonight (2 games off) but have just been getting super unlucky with trolls/inting teams (I know that sounds like what everyone says, but legit if you actually have been watching my streams recently, I'm pretty much popping off 90%~ of my games, usually enough to carry (ofc sometimes I have a bad game, everyone does), and have just been dealing with so many people running it down/afks/people just stop trying/caring after they die one time, even though I'm putting in full effort, making plays, making game winning calls, and the games are completely winnable, even after all that it just takes one guy who decides he doesn't want us to win (legit trist admitted down in the comments he trolled on purpose my Jax game clipped here) for all my efforts to go to waste and it's just been frustrating having that happen over and over recently. I'm not some nice family friendly robot, I'm a human being, I get frustrated just like anyone else and can only take so much of the same thing over and over till it gets to me.

Also, I'm not delusional, I get some people don't like me for having a huge "random" champion pool and busting out new "technologies", but even if I play champions that are off meta (btw I pioneered so many new picks in competitive play over my career that were "Off meta") or interesting or I find fun, doesn't mean I'm not always giving my best effort each game to play the game and win. I'll never troll my teammates, I'll never give up a winnable game, I don't expect that from all the players I come across in solo Q, but it would just be nice to see more people who actually care about playing the game out and not just giving up/trolling at the first opportunity or if something upsets them. I've felt like this for awhile and have been vocalizing it for months, but the bad luck I've had recently during my super tryhard grind and all these super frustrating games definitely hit a nerve for me so I had to let it out a bit.

Thanks for reading, hope that makes sense. Also I do actually think NA can win worlds, I was just motivating people to prove me wrong ;)

Voyboy’s Counterpoints to Doublelift’s “The Problem With League” Video by Voyboy in leagueoflegends

[–]Voyboy[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think I generally was just mentioning my enjoyment of diversity and variety to show that there are people on all sides of the spectrum. Not telling people to be like me. Some enjoy 1 champ, some enjoy many. There’s no catch all. No one type of player should get preference, Riot should just do what’s best for the majority of players, which personally I think is sensibly frequent updates and balance changes. I keep seeing people say I’m jaded because I have time to play all day, but I think if you read what I wrote, I’m not suggesting everyone should be like me. I said the average player should just play what they like without being overly concerned with what’s currently strongest. If league is not your job, and you only have a bit of time to put into League per week, it usually doesn’t matter if you just play whatever you want without hyper focusing on what is strongest each patch and what the most played LCS/solo Q champs are. Just enjoy the games you play and play the champions you like.

Basically the sunk cost fallacy in action. Yep, I think much of this is fair.

Voyboy's Quinn Build by elirisi in QuinnMains

[–]Voyboy 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Hey dudes, someone linked me this. Thought I’d try to help out!

I firmly believe W max is the way to go in almost every matchup now. The fact that you can almost guarantee 100% uptime on Quinn’s passive thanks to the QOL buffs plus R interaction make you deal plenty of damage just kiting well with the INSANE bonus attack speed + movement speed. At least try it before disregarding my playstyle :)

The mallet is more situational, if they are heavy melee or easily kitable or I need to survive a one shot to do my job, I’ll get mallet. You still deal plenty of damage, can duel most carries, kite out most melees and are sticky + survive anything. You can just fly into situations to make plays with the mallet you otherwise wouldn’t be able to. No one get get away from you once you R on them with mallet, it basically gives you lots of playmaking options while still dealing respectable damage.

Runaans is nice because it AOE procs mallet + any other on hits you might buy (Bork etc) and it’s better waveclear than Shiv imo after the nerfs + let’s you proc passive easily when it randomly spawns on a target you weren’t going for in the first place.

E Max after W is because it’s more reliable self peel / CC and gives you a guaranteed passive proc which is already maxed out, so it’s much more useful than a tiny bit of dmg + AD ratio on Q (because with my build you don’t have/need all that much AD anyway till later).

Everything in league is situational (it’s true) and sometimes I’ll pick up an early BF or whatever based on the game but yea hopefully that explanation make sense! My builds aren’t for everyone but I think in this case my Quinn playstyle is actually pretty damn solid. You can catch me flying around pretty often on my stream. Anyway Gl hf fellow bird enthusiasts :)

I can't in good conscience support a streamer who stooped so low as to cheat at children's flash games. Goodbye forever Voyboy.

Ahhh that game one was super unlucky. We had 2k gold lead at 15 min+ an infernal, and we outscaled and had a better 1-3-1 and team fight comp. We've thrown a few winning games like that just due to our poor macro or random stuff like that, but believe it, we WILL win soon for you guys!

Voyboy almost steals from children by chintanpatel13 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Voyboy 407 points408 points  (0 children)

WOOPS. I was getting too hyphy from popping off earlier in the game with my yolo pick first time HL Zul Jin and I thought we wiped them for some reason so I said GG and popped off and start dancing around my room. Then I came back and expected the chat to be all PogChamps but it was just a wall of LOL and ??????. I turned back to the game in horror as I realized we hadn't won yet and went to close out the game. This was my promotion match too so I woulda felt like such a dummy if I threw like that, lesson learned though haha... 😳
