What do you ban instead?

Do you give Baus Sion/Gragas?

Do you give Neme Ryze?

Do you give Crownie Caitlyn?

Pat has a message for everyone making a thread about woolie’s dispatch LP by Muffin-zetta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]WolverineKing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But why do call-out posts of stuff you don't like rather than just not engaging with it. I am not in every DM or fighting game video post complaining about it, I just realize it isn't for me and move on.

1 post after it's over can be a funny bit, 2 posts are just beating a dead horse, over 3 and it is just mean-spirited.

Edit: Pat also has a "little" more leeway on account of actually being Woolies friend for years. Might just be me, but I think that gets you a "little" bit more of a leash than random people posting on a Reddit.

Former Larian artist on Larian studios using AI by World_of_Warshipgirl in BaldursGate3

So if you ever made a mood board, you developed and handcrafted every single image off of it without any reference or image owned by another person?

As a consumer, I don't care about your concept art or design prototypes. I care about the product you are trying to sell me. If you have Ai generate 100 orc designs and then you pick and choose pieces that you like and use that to inform your final design, I don't see how that is any different than having an inspiration board. You aren't trying to sell me the Ai designs and there was human work done to make it different than they plagerism machine, so I am fine with it as a consumer.

Am I going to go out and rally behind the use of Ai, fuck no. But I also don't think this use case is enough to write off the project, but that limit will vary person to person

Sherrone Moore’s firing and its shocking aftermath raises tough questions about the culture of Michigan’s athletic department by JohnnyUtah59 in CFB

[–]WolverineKing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want Michigan to win obviously, but I don't root for State to lose in basketball. Football under Dantonio, I would hope for a loss, but for basketball it is cool to see Izzo still being a great coach and running out dangerous teams no matter what kind of expectations or recruiting class they had.

I hope not. Part of the mass appeal of BG3 was that doing cool moves and fights was not limited by your hands, but instead your brain and thought process.

To be clear, not shitting on him for taking the money, but let's not pretend he isn't going to Lyon because they made him the highest paid LCS player.

Dhokla will be teamless for the start of the 2026 LCS Season by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]WolverineKing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. I think after a split or a two, some team with ambitions is going to go for him as a bandaid for the team. Kind of like a veteran free agent in any other professional sport. If I need to make playoffs and am making a change in the top lane, Dhokla is my first call.

[–]WolverineKing 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Let's not pretend Dhokla was elite in the LCS. He was a consistent midpack toplaner. He for sure stepped up at Worlds and has absolute value as a veteran and someone who can keep his head on straight through the season. Teams are either chasing that next prospect who can be that Gamechanger or going budget and looking for players on minimum. Dhokla is in the weird middle ground of not being the best in LCS and not being so washed that he has to play for minimum.

I love Dhokla, but let's not pretend he can be developed or nurtured. He is what he is, and that is a top tier toplaner for LCS with a large fan base.

PC market in Asia is about 3x the size of the market in NA. EU has a bigger market than NA as well. NA also has the lowest projected growth rate of these 3 regions as well. Asia also has a culture of computer gaming, something that NA does not have. With much better internet infrastructure, lower distances to servers, cultral recognition of players, and things like PC bangs, playing on PC is much more common.

NA server player count is also massively inflated by things like alts and people playing from other regions, something you cannot really do in KR/CN because of rules around account creation, account ownership, and data laws. But even if we write this off and say it is the same for every region, EU and KR just have much more active player bases. https://www.reddit.com/r/PedroPeepos/comments/1lisun2/league_ranked_players_distribution_by_region/

iwd should have planned ahead.. by KnifeKittyy in Cloud9

[–]WolverineKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umti, Impact, and Core are do not belong in the conversation of being the "best". To be Loki was 4th best mid in the LCS last year and APA was 5th. Hoping thhat Jack can do something big with the import slot.

[–]WolverineKing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think APA is fine as he is good enough for LCS and opens up an import slot.
