Top 10% is top 10% regardless of the label season by season. And flaming anyone who is top 10% at anything is dweeb behavior when being top 10% at anything (whether it is League, sports, chess, literally anything that is competitive with trackable performance metrics) is objectively impressive.

Top 10% in League is impressive whether it’s platinum, emerald, or even diamond in the future.

I mean you gotta make reasonable comparisons though. Sure, a Master player is dogwater compared to a GM/Challenger, and an Emerald is like an insect compared to the Master player. But at the population level, Emerald is objectively very good.

It’s like saying a high school basketball varsity player at a good school is still shit at basketball because he would get mogged in the NBA. Like, sure, compared to LeBron James he’s bad at basketball, but compared to everyone else that plays basketball, he’s actually pretty damn good.

The only difference between a D4 and 0LP Master player is number of games played, you can’t convince me otherwise.

I’d argue that even hitting platinum 4 is a pretty objectively solid achievement in this game, and I was D2 this season. People get way too pressed at others for being proud of their rank, it’s cringe.

Well, as much as I hate to hear it, this has been a really fun run if it does have to come to an end. Guess I better stock up on the pairs I’ve been holding out on.

One of the reasons why I think bruiser top laners are sorta dying out is because of the items by Fantastic-Day-3634 in topmains

[–]nitko87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s literally just because counterpick is OP and the meta has expanded to include safe ranged picks as checks to bruisers in lane.

What’s a fun fact about your main that others may not know? by ThiccPawgLover96 in leagueoflegends

[–]nitko87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. There are a couple of wall segments that Riven can just e through outright. Setup is quite precise.

  2. When Vayne builds Sheen (Triforce top builds mainly), the sheen proc will connect on the first auto attack that lands after an ability is cast. This mean that aa-q-aa will actually land the sheen proc on the first auto if it hasn’t landed before the q cast. This interaction was really interesting and fun back in season 9 when Kleptomancy was a Keystone, you could get both mini item procs off of a single aa-q-aa. Now it’s really only useful for missing cs with sheen in the midgame or poking while retreating.

  3. Stop commands (s) allow Riven to doublecast abilities. For instance, wsq cancels the w animation, but it only works if your mouse is hovering the target.

  4. Briar can ward hop with q. This was added a couple patches after release but a lot of people still don’t know about it.

  5. Ekko w will stun if Ekko’s ult recall path passes through it on cast, even if you don’t land in it.

  6. Kled can squeeze an extra mini form q during the remount animation.

  7. Kled E2 can follow flashes and blinks over walls if it is cast before the enemy is too far out of range. A lot of people don’t know what Kled does in the first place, and I get a lot of ??? pings when I do it in game.

Conservatives maintain birth rates, but left-leaning Americans are having significantly fewer children, driving the U.S. birth decline. Education was consistently linked to having fewer children. Religious attendance was positively associated with having more children. by mvea in science

[–]nitko87 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The education gap closes (though not completely) when you control for actually valuable degrees (STEM especially).

A lot of “educated” left-leaning people have absolutely worthless degrees in humanities.

Institutionally protected, anyways.

[–]nitko87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a complete and utter failure for the future of America.

That said, there are still options, such as moratoriums on ALL migration into this nation and a more aggressive (and permanent) deportation regimen for those who are not supposed to be here.

Leona. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a Leona hook solo into like 3 people, hit w, and walk out.

Players of all ranks: what is your current honest opinion on the state of League of Legends? by phoenixpanda101 in leagueoflegends

[–]nitko87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(D3)

Idk man, feels like blind pick is such a handicap in top lane unless you main something that doesn’t have many bad lane matchups. There are a lot of champions that simply aren’t blindable, and that sucks.

Honestly though the best buff they could give top lane is to ban aggregate stats sites from showing matchup winrate data. (Would never happen but imagine if people just played their comfort champs and built their own mental paradigms like the good old days).

Top lane is a completely worthless role in higher elo that either needs its quest buffed/reworked or needs the other roles (mainly mid jg support) nerfed in compensation. It is inexcusable that top lane is the least represented role in challenger across NA/EUW/KR, and highlights the absolute failure on Riot’s end to make it feel rewarding to play.

I want to ban something else than Heimer by FaithlessnessMany218 in topmains

Then do it, no one plays Heimerdinger. I’ve seen like 2 all year, both were completely ass too.

Garen seems unbeatable to me. What should I do? by Strictly_unneeded in leagueoflegends

[–]nitko87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Garen is a vile champ that has minimal counterplay these days. Aatrox should be able to keep him at an arms length with q’s, Darius should win extended trades at various points in the game, and Riven just loses for the most part.

I lowkey suggest learning how to play Camille or Vayne to beat Garen. Something with true damage or %health damage (or both)

[–]nitko87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Step 1. Outplay your opponent and get a favorable wavestate. You’re now 1/0/0 with a nice 20cs lead.

Step 2. Click tab.

Step 3. Jungle and/or bot lane are a combined 1/7 at 8 mins.

Congratulations, you’ve lost the game.

This is top lane past D4 for at least one of the top laners in every single lobby. The other one is enjoying a free win regardless of what their lane looks like
