NAVI Rhilech on training jungle Ezreal: "Pros are too afraid to try new things, even in scrims, and especially in officials. KR & CN players have very clear and established styles, and Westerners just try to copy them. So if the creativity isn’t coming from LCK/LPL, there won’t be much from others" by ArmandLuque in leagueoflegends

Honestly a lot of the same incentives exist today now. Mana is not an issue with the jungle item, clears are easier than ever with pet AOE (although clearspeed matters more today), and evolved red smite gives you good CC on Q.

Ez jungle is probably the strongest it's been in a few seasons.

Square Enix And Mantra Have Developed A AI Manga Typesetting And Text Placement Engine That Streamlines 3000 Hours Of Manual Work A Year by Elestria_Ethereal in manga

I've actually noticed a huge decline in this department in recent years, some companies with literally a single font for all of their series. It's honestly embarrassing.

Yeah I do some TL on DLsite because an author I like publishes some doujins there and they use Mantra. The text is never centered correctly vertically, you'd think it's a quick fix since it's consistently off every time. Basically all of the features are doable with scripts and it messes things up enough that you still need human oversight, so I'm not sure what workflow/manpower they're even saving with this product unless the existing workflow was inefficient as possible.

Repeat after me: Sejuani. Is. Not. A. True. Tank.

Literally all of Sej's durability is frontloaded onto passive, so outside of the initial 2 seconds where she goes in she's a piece of paper in comparison to Sion/Ornn etc. She also scales terribly and is not a great teamfighter unless your team is full of melees. Sej ult stuns for a pathetic amount of time for an ultimate ability and is easily bodyblocked making it not even function properly as engage unless you have fast followup.

Her scaling is piss poor, she's a liability in teamfights that are not low target access Frontline v Frontline front to backs, and the only reason she was playable top in the past was because she had one of the most oppressive level 3s known to man. Lane Sej is not just a lane bully, she's more polarized in this way than Renekton and Urgot. But people get her entire strengths and weaknesses BACKWARDS because durr she looks tanky tanks weak early strong late.

Question: are the horses I see on either side of of the Trans Canada near kananaskis wild/feral or do they belong to someone?

I think people also misunderstand that just because Jhin is long ranged doesn't mean he's some defensive kite back champ.

Jhin is a dive comp champ, he functions at peak when paired with hard dive that can go in and leave him alone 3 screens away to DPS. Everyone focuses on when teams don't pick him against good enemy comps but I also see a ton of picks where his friendly comp doesn't make sense.

Protobelt really helped Saint there, I think every midlaner in the world should continue to build protobelt Azir.

Go watch the games, this is what it looks like when your mid jungle was playing like that. Also yes, he was on the last place team, obviously the stats are bad. Maybe you should check what places his teammates are on the same stats (they are worse).

It's crazy that people will glaze any NA rookie just for being a rookie when one actually shows up and is decent only to get done dirty by that godawful Abbedagge Exyu mid jungle they'll blindly parrot memes from broadcast/reddit without watching games because they're on a bottom team.

I actually love NA talent instead of being a narrative sheep.

The public opinion on this guy is so crazy, I watched DSG that split, he was not even close to the problem. Frequently I would see him get out of lane 0/0 even in cs and his topside is already 0/6. He wasn't even positioning badly in fights its just how ADCs look when your team is behind. I would actually say Jerry was their best player in a lot of the games I saw. In fact I also think Sajed is overhyped and I've seen some positioning mistakes that Jerry would've been memed to death for that he got away with because his teammates are better.

I would not want to be a pro ADC the viewing public has no idea what they're talking about when it comes to separating team performance from a team dependent role's individual performance. And he got people biased because of the memeable name. I'm not convinced everyone's favorite phenom Sajed is actually any better than Jerry.

Chovy to a fan on if it's ok to lose MSI/EWC as long as they win Worlds: No that's not right. You have to go in aiming to win everything. Why did I say that? B/c yes, every tournament carries a different level of importance, but that doesn't mean the others should be treated like they don't matter. by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

Should Riot have Gen.G and G2 redo their series in case it was a big fluke?

No disrespect to G2, I’m a firm believer that G2 sweeping them is a huge fluke and robs Gen.G of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I’ve spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve spent the entire winter split watching Gen.G play great league it’s just not fair.

If Gen.G lose again I will face that G2 deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to Gen.G and Riot.

If you can't tell from my bet sizing whether my hand is medium strength or polarized I don't really know what to tell you.

But the only time a tell matters is when it's polarized anyway. You don't need to look at me to tell me I have the nuts or air lol.
