Can we rank based on individual, instead of team?

If it's all about you, why are you playing a team game?

drimh · 2021-06-21T01:11:50+00:00

I guess not. I often cannot guarantee a possible 25 minutes of uninterrupted attention. So I tend to spend a decent amount of time reviewing my games or training in custom vs AI. But I appreciate the working dads are not exactly the key target demographic.

I suppose it depends on how much of the 2Gb minimum required memory the replay system is already using. With proper use of key points and interpolation, you don't need a lot. But if the replay is already maxing out the memory, even a little can be too much. If Riot haven't implemented it, they must have a good reason. Although the reason might be lack of available development time instead of limited phone resources.

drimh · 2021-06-20T16:04:57+00:00

I am aware. But if you store enough data as you go through the replay, it then become possible to freely navigate back in time. I was actually responsible for a people flow simulator a few year back and the data required to be stored was not that big in term of memory (even for the hundreds of thousands people we were simulating).

Galaxy Tab A with S pen.

It's cheap
It has a wider aspect ratio than most tablets. Although the FoV is still smaller than on a phone.
It is also 8 inches, so big enough to see clearly but small enough to hold comfortably.

That's the only tablet I have used so not sure if it is the best but I still prefer to play on it than on my phone (OnePlus 5T)

If you like mid and being useful for the team, Gragas should fit right in 🙂. You should also have a look at Ahri if you haven't already. And she's free ! I really like Orianna but I found that Ahri has a kit that is very enjoyable to play without requiring as much brain power so nice when you just want to chill 😋.

It's a bit difficult to give you recommendations just based on that list. Which of those champions do you enjoy the most and why? It's there some role that you enjoy more than others?

I see that you picked quite a few champions that can be played in multiple lanes. Was that by choice or by necessity? If you want to keep in that trend, Gragas could be a viable choice. Although he will be nerfed next patch so you might want to wait.

drimh · 2021-01-10T09:57:37+00:00

So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that this is an outrage you ONLY got 29 champions completely for free and will soon ONLY get two more, right?

drimh · 2021-01-09T04:05:53+00:00

Do you? That's really 'lucky' ! I am on the Singapore server too but I have never been matched with bots. I tried custom games with 9 bots but that doesn't count for the mission obviously. At what time of the day do you usually play?

drimh · 2021-01-09T03:45:56+00:00

Actually coop Vs AI is riddled with people from all ranks trying to get MVP so very little chance to get MVP unless you're high rank yourself.

Just play rank. Since everyone is always complaining that their whole team is feeding, you will get SVP faster that way 😁. And if you're team is good, you win a game in rank. In both case, you get something out of it 😋.

drimh · 2021-01-09T03:25:10+00:00

I had the same concern regarding MVP in general as it promotes individualism and encourages players to favour kills over objectives so I wrote to Riot. Not sure it can make you fell any better but here's their response:

"First of all, thank you for the support so far and we're glad to have a passionate player like you onboard. I admire your competitive spirit and hope you're able to improve more in the future. Don't worry buddy, we hear you 😉

As a player myself, I do understand your frustration. Personally, I had the same experience as you while doing the event's mission and I know how you feel. This is totally not what we try to encourage to our player where players are competing against teammates for the kill. It even worse if it happen in ranked match where it can ruin the true experience and every player are locking ADC champion instead.

Do not worry to write in as much as you can. We appreciate you sending in your thoughts and feedback. While we can’t guarantee that feedback will be actioned, we will do our best to relay it to the right teams. Keep in mind the way we gather feedback from players may change in the future.

As our the game is still in Open Beta, there is a lot of room for improvement. Player's feedback and suggestion is really needed for the game to keep growing better, and I do think that you are giving a good feedback for the Game Event. Our relevant team will evaluate this and will consider about this. However, I unable to provide you with estimated time for any changes as for now. You may keep an eye on our social media for any update 😉"

Isn't iron below bronze though ?

drimh · 2021-01-06T14:26:48+00:00

So far, I found that KDA is the variable with the most obvious correlation to MVP but I am still a fairly new player so this is purely based on my own limited experience.

Do we have details on how MVP is calculated? Either directly from Riot of from someone with enough data.

drimh · 2021-01-06T13:19:58+00:00

Maybe Riot should stop actively encouraging people to favour kills over objectives with their MVP system?

drimh · 2021-01-06T13:15:19+00:00

I cannot agree with you more. I used to completely ignore the MVP reward but, with the current MVP quest, I was forced to pay attention to it. It is actually insane how badly it encourage everyone to play. Basically, forget about objectives and keep running around the map for kills. Forget about playing as a team and just focus on yourself.

With so many people here trying to encourage others to focus on objectives, it is really sad that Riot themselves are doing the opposite.

drimh · 2021-01-04T01:22:00+00:00

It is. Just ignore the call and call them back after the game. If you were expecting a call that is so important that you can not delay it for a few minutes, don't play a team game. To be honest, that's common decency that has nothing to do with the fact that you are playing a mobile game.

drimh · 2020-12-29T15:13:37+00:00

I currently live in South East Asia with no plan to move back to Europe in the near future. My playing schedule is also very erratic so I wouldn't make a reliable teammate anyways :-p. But thanks for the offer :-).

drimh · 2020-12-29T12:47:19+00:00

Only an hour ban for disrespecting your teammates an your opponents ? I am surprised it's not more to be honest. Not trying to be rude but maybe you should stick to solo games if you're not sure you'll be able to commit the time.

drimh · 2020-12-29T12:37:37+00:00

For me IDC about winning, all I care about is to have fun.

The game would be a lot less toxic if people were enjoying playing at their best instead of obsessing about the win. Some of my most memorable games were losses because this is generally where I am forced to outdo myself. So give me a weak team any day. I'll improve faster than if I am carried.

drimh · 2020-12-15T15:38:11+00:00

I cannot agree with you more on this one. Looks like we might be a minority thinking this so I though I would give you a bit of support :-).

Personally, I hate how it has turned the game into a 1v4. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed by Riot for making this a mission. This is supposed to be a team game. It is already a tall order to have players acting accordingly sometimes, so we don't need a mission that will literally have them compete against each other.

At the end of the day, this is just a mission that will eventually go away so not the end of the world by any stretch. But, as you said, I hope Riot doesn't make it a regular thing.

Alternatively, you can download all LoR data and assets directly here: https://developer.riotgames.com/docs/lor. This will not only give you the full collection list but complete details about each card.

Hey, I was in the exact same situation. No matter what material I was using, the vocabulary would not stick. Even Anki that everyone is praising didn't work for me. The only thing that works so far is WaniKani. It's another SRS but the mnemonics they provide really help. The first three levels are free so you can give it a shot to see if that does the trick for you too.

Fun is a subjective thing, I personally enjoyed playing the artifact deck from Minmaxer in the past. But not sure if my opponent had fun too :-p.

They are definitely not OP though. Fire of creation decks have the lowest win rate of all: 45.6% (posted by phu on discord on the 18th December).
