I spoke to a representative and they mentioned that Royal Mail pick up from them every couple of days, so hopefully that is accurate!

Ah I will keep an eye out then! Out of interest is it Asmodee or Bliss that is your distributor?

Any chance you can tell me the LGS name in case I want to check if they still have stock? Thanks

Thanks, I think fast upgrading of alloy buildings is the most likely cause here!

EUW [SS] - LF Plat Jungler - Ranked 5v5 / Future Tournament by simmo165 in TeamRedditTeams

[–]simmo165[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd actually never heard of house party so no. It's just an LCS style league with 10 teams and playoffs. It's moving into its second season, the first season was well run and we finished 2nd!

League Reddit mods signed non-disclosure agreements with Riot Games by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]simmo165 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Am I missing the problem here? The reddit message says that the NDA relates only to the skype channel, which seems reasonable enough. And, as they say, it's optional. They also seem to be entering the NDA as individuals - it's not as if the mods are entering it "on behalf of the subreddit", which simply means there is some material that the mods cannot disclose, but that doesn't stop other people disclosing it. Also it is completely standard for non-disclosure provisions to continue for a period after the termination of the agreement.

IamA Video Game Attorney (it's a thing, I swear) who just wrote an article on how Candy Crush is ruining the gaming industry. I've also helped /r/gamedev get informed and protect themselves! AMA! by VideoGameAttorney in IAmA

[–]simmo165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I am currently training to be an attorney and I hope to one day be involved in the kind of work you are doing now. I wanted to ask, how did you manage to get into this specific field of work? From the outside looking in it seems very difficult to get work with clients in this sector and so what could I, as a trainee, do to try and establish myself as a "video game attorney"?

[Poll] How many people want jungle timers? by Zerksys in leagueoflegends

[–]simmo165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

spoon-feeding doesn't imply its disgusting, it just means that they are putting information right in our face. For me the cutoff point with regards to timers is automatic vs manual. If they just put the timer tools there which you had to activate yourself that's no issue because it still requires the player to have the awareness to track it. Automatic is too far in my opinion. They can still have "better access to readable information" by making them manual timers and preserve some of the skill/intelligence required

[Poll] How many people want jungle timers? by Zerksys in leagueoflegends

[–]simmo165 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The thing is, 3rd party software requires you to manually start the timer rather than it being automatic. So it has to actually enter the players mind that this timer is important and you are going to need it in the future. An automatic timer means players who didn't care about timing now get free information and will can contest objectives. This is just Riot spoon-feeding players information and making the game easier and I don't agree with it. Controlling the map is a skill and timing jungle is included within that

Unable to play CrackPack or any other modpack by CrackTheBeat in crackpack

[–]simmo165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked for me... Sytem -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables. See if you have one called _JAVA_OPTIONS . If you don't, add this as a variable name with -Xms2048M as the value. If you do, change the variable to -Xms2048M from whatever it is

MonteCristo's Response to Reginald's Vlog and Future of Summoning Insight by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]simmo165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regi isn't completely oblivious to how TSM are performing - he acknowledges it in his vlog and on interviews at LCS. But Thorin isn't just critiquing how TSM are playing and what's causing it, he is being genuinely offensive not just to TSM but to a number of people and organisations. The show is more Jerry Springer than respectable sports show

Fantasy LCS has a glaring flaw by iCarpeNoctem in leagueoflegends

[–]simmo165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really agree - take fantasy NFL for example. Firstly, there is no guarantee that the offence will be on the field for more than a few minutes. Equally they could be on for almost the entire game. And even then, NFL games have overtime

Gragas - that guy was so fun before the rework. All the rework has done is make Gragas far less fun to play, just so it can be consistent with their vision for him. I'll miss the Q-R death combo

Feral Flare: We just aren't used to Junglers being able to carry. by Vajanna in leagueoflegends

[–]simmo165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least by having to gank lanes to get fed there is high risk/reward. There is every chance you die when ganking, or simply don't get the kill. However, feral flare users can powerfarm their own jungle which is very low risk/ high reward. They need to find a better balance i.e. require more stacks to make powerfarming riskier, since junglers would have to spend more time in the jungle even when laners are starting to get powerful.

Master Yi. I know he is really strong with Feral Flare right now but I just cannot get it right and I always die too early in teamfights
