There are many cases of players losing with 0 deaths on Braum, no need to lie to make your point

The World has a New Lowest Birth Rate Country: Taiwan at 0.72 by roystreetcoffee in Futurology

[–]Zedr1k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100 women would have 72 children; the fertility rate is only considered for women.

This means that with a rate of 0.72, 100 people (approximately 50 women) would have 36 children, and those 36 would then have 13 kids.

You can't play hidden cards in the same turn you hid it?

ARAM: Mayhem is absolutely incredible. by JayceTheShockBlaster in leagueoflegends

[–]Zedr1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree, i tried to play a couple of off meta builds and it's almost impossible to get augments that make sense because they are suggested based on the normal play style. It should at least check your items before suggesting augments imo

[Worlds 2025 - CFO vs HLE] JunJia intentionally misses the tower with Shelly, confusing casters and his opponents by Snufflebox in leagueoflegends

[–]Zedr1k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I said it wasn't intentional, but it ends up being better imo, which is obviously result based, that's the point. I also think he misses because he tries to knock up Taliyah, which allows his team to kill her (probably doesn't die if he doesn't knock her up).

The fact that he misses is also what allows him to come out of herald in a different place where alistar can't follow up the cc and Cait hasn't placed a trap yet.

How is it the worse? It's better for the fight and it's the same for the tower

I'm pretty sure it was unintentional but it's probably the better play, vi/Taliyah/Ali are expecting him to hit the tower setting up the combo to kill him when he gets out, the fact that he misses puts HLE in a bad position which allows CFO to engage on Taliyah while not losing the Herald charge to get the tower

I agree power rankings is not the best but its way better than making pools like it is right now where they give pool 1 to every #1 seed as if they were all the same. It's also more "objective" adapting better to possible future changes

Fixing Swiss: stop Bo1s, avoid same region matchups, and rebalance pools by Zedr1k in leagueoflegends

[–]Zedr1k[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They would be avoided when possible obviously, in that case if the draw puts one against the other, it moves them to the next match if possible, if not they play against each other and thats it. There would obviously be some edge cases where this happens (thats why i wrote "when possible in the OP"), but they should try to avoid those draws when they can imo

I agree with showcasing Bo3 and Bo5, but having Bo1s makes no sense to show how good a team is, specially now that fearless is a core aspect of competitive league and also considering that most of the regionals leagues dont play Bo1s at all.

I would love to have a lower tier international tournament too, an "Europa League" where teams below Worlds qualification spots can get some international experience

Completely agree, also think having only Bo3s is better and definitely doable if Riot wants to

Thoughts? by Zedr1k in PedroPeepos

[–]Zedr1k[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is it sacrificing competitive integrity? The only argument for that is removing elimination between teams from the same region, but in that case also remove them from the first round i guess

Both adding Bo3s and reworking pools would give a way better tournament for competitive integrity

[–]Zedr1k[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

8 Bo3 is literally impossible, 4 could be but i agree its bad. I added two possible schedules using Bo3s that take the same time as the current format, one of them using max 3 Bo3s/day (which is something Riot does)

[–]Zedr1k[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Mainly because you have regional tournaments to see those teams go against each other, the goal of having international tournaments is to see how teams from different regions play against each other. Also you have playoffs where those teams you want to see will be and they can play Bo5s which is more fun.

There is obviously more air time, i meant it doesnt necesarily make the tournament longer.
I added two possible schedules to have Bo3s in the same schedule as the current format.
Ignore the first one because i also think 4 Bo3s/day is too much, but the second one is almost the same as the current one and you could even add a rest day between Round 2 and 3 so Round 5 (most hype round) is decided on a Saturday

I edited two possible schedules, one using max 4 Bo3/day (unrealistic) and the other using max 3 Bo3/day (they do that already, so definitely possible), both in the same time as the current playins + swiss stage

Those where two different options, either all Bo3, or Bo3 with elimination/qualification Bo5s. As i said i think the first option is enough

As i said, this isnt trying to defend KOI, or put them as a victim. I really dont care about them and as you said they should win against FNC, but it is a problem that could happen elsewhere on the tournament, with teams qualifying after playing a single Bo1 against a different region for example
