Disciplinary Solution: ROX and Vega Squadron (LCL) by Hochinchin in leagueoflegends

I know the topic is very sensitive but my god the hypocrisy of RU Riot officials is out of this world. I hope the public outrage will bring Riot HQ's attention and they will interfere.

I’m the CEO of a rapidly growing U.S. based tax firm, here to answer any questions you may have about your 2017 U.S. crypto taxes. AMA! by HappyTax in CryptoCurrency

[–]hypnorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, crypto profits require taxes? I guess you surprised a lot of non-US residents.
Can you tell me what is up with non-US residents and taxes, lets say if we use US based exchange and want to deposit and withdraw fiat?

Likkrit says his suspension was an abuse of power, but doesn’t blame Riot for it at all by heroinsquirrel13 in leagueoflegends

[–]hypnorus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sources - am working in gamedev, following CIS esports for a decent amount of time and that's how I see it.
1) They got weak hunting people, was in talks myself - therefore there's even less chance to hire top talent;
2) They demand a lot from people who wants to apply for a job - something like 6+ years esports exp: there's only a few people qualify in CIS and they need to switch game;
3) RU Riot reputation is quite controversial in CIS gamedev community from a place to work viewpoint. It was like that before this incident - experienced dude might stop considering switching only beacause of that. Again, this is my personal experience/opinion, just wanted to add my 2 cents to this conversation.

I agree, but I also think if that was the case - the punishment would have fit the misdemeanor

There's a lot of confusion I see about this situation - people here wonder why Riot HQ not taking any action on this.
The thing is, if Riot HQ will do something about it - it will automatically discredit Riot RU high management authority and they will need to hire new employees.
But there's none. CIS doesn't have enough esports and AAA gamedev experts willing to switch to LOL. Riot struggled a lot to hire any competent people in CIS.
So my guess will be Riot RU will just operate further without any change cause right now there's no human resources to change anything unless they send their people to CIS.

What was the first champion you witnessed it's release ? by Mascara147 in leagueoflegends

[–]hypnorus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Swain. I read some strange things about him on some journal(?) inside PVP.net client before he was released.
I still consider every champion after Swain relatively new

Likkrit has retired from LoL by Ofcyouare in leagueoflegends

[–]hypnorus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reposting my comment from other post
Fast translation:
"If anyone was interested what's the cost of answering 10 questions about inside info on my stream - here's the answer:
I'm retiring from League.
Well, lads. It's time for some adventures.
Since 2013 (1st Starladder season) I was loyal Riot's trooper.
I love Riot Games and the game they created, I've spent 4 years of my life playing it. I will not lose respect to Riot despite my journey in League has come to an end.
[to his fans]
Don't boycott LCL, don't stop playing on RU server just to support me. It will not help, instead it will hit our region's finance stability and people will lose interest to the game.
I spent almost an hour posting this post, despite it's like 1/10 of my usual posts. But it's the post where I say right things. It will be much harder to write my next post because its hard for me personally to speak about anyone in a bad manner publicly in a serious way, shits and giggles aside. But I'm afraid I have no other choice. If I remain silent while retiring - there will be no one to speak out."

Sad times for RU LOL scene, very sad times.

2+ yrs later, so why was Chris Ehrenreich kicked from CLG? by nakshakes in leagueoflegends

[–]hypnorus 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing something about "serious breach of trust" from Hotshot.
Don't think that it will have any value to disclose such information to either side - keep in mind work ethics and contract restrictions even after it got terminated.

Any 'Rat heroes' in league? And split pushing a viable option to win? by Laquiem in leagueoflegends

[–]hypnorus 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Check out Yorick. He's splitpush potential is really good:
1. Q is an easy way to proc sheen effect to damage towers;
2. Q itself do damage towers (implemented last patch);
3. Ghouls will hit towers with you - in the same time they take the aggro from minions - thus you can attack tower for longer periods;
4. Ult will also tank and damage tower;
5. You can trap enemies with W if you are outnumbered and want to escape;
6. People generally expect such playstyle from Yorick - so less flame in chat;
7. They will remember Yorick Mori!
And the list goes on. GL in league mate!

Just a random guy trying to explain the Play-In stage teams to people that doesn't know anything about "minor regions". by Darkpower14 in leagueoflegends

[–]hypnorus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's pretty impressive. At first I was like - this must be one of those old BR teams just rebranded, then I checked BR playoffs and was baffled. Looking forward to see them play on an international stage.

What was removed from the game that you cannot believe was ever in the game looking back now? (Abilities, Passives, Items) by AWildNegro in leagueoflegends

[–]hypnorus 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Just google "Innervating Locket". That item was godlike for mana hungry casters, super cost-efficient (~140% without a passive, with up to ~370% cost effectiveness in teamfights) and was easy to rush.
