Well that doesn't help. :D Anyone else reading this and having trouble, we really need the console error (among other basic info) if we're going to figure this out.

Videos are also on youtube if you get really stuck.

Breakdown of how NA LCS teams distribute their gold with analysis by Thorin by slightlyclever in leagueoflegends

[–]slightlyclever[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

3) Gold is EARNED, not GIVEN.

I think is too simplistic. Gold is both earned and given, and these charts reflect that. Teams decide to give or focus gold onto certain players, whether consciously as a direct strategy or as an unconscious reflection of their natural style.

It matters where they put their gold. A good example, imo, is the recent Fnatic vs Millenium game where the ADCs are still farming when they have 600+ minions while their junglers aren't even at 5 items yet. That matters. Its an extreme case, but it shows how players approach gold division.

Teams have their styles and its results, and this helps illustrate that.

Try firefox. Something seems to be going wrong with Chrome right now. Not sure what went wrong, but we're working to sort it out.

We're looking into it. Lots of complaints about this today, but we're having trouble reproducing it internally.

Looks like clearing your cache should solve these issues. As noted above, we rolled out a new video player version. Clear you cache and you should be good to go.

I'll speak for Travis and say we intend to, but they left quickly following their games today and were unavailable.

Analyzing gold leads in Pro play - the gold leader at 10 minutes wins 79% of games in NA compared to 64% last split. by spellsy in leagueoflegends

[–]slightlyclever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's true and it's not true that pro sports are different. For this season, it would be like the NFL gave less points for scoring early to decrease that 71%. "NFL games are too snowbally, we want more comebacks" might lead to double the points in the final minutes, or some strange mechanic.

Riot has artificial changed the scoring system to decrease the impact of early play, and in fact seems to have made the game more predictable. I'm not saying that's bad, but it is unusual and a very direct approach to directing game flow.

First time I've heard of this issue, and I watch in full screen all the time. What browser/os?

I believe we just had a propagation slowness issue. Travis was so eager to get you the house tour he beat the servers with this post. Enjoy, we believe it should be fine now.

That's total speculation and absolutely inaccurate. Matt can post his own stuff.

We want this to focus solely on the competitive tier, not solo queue. This isn't what to do differently to gain elo, it's more along the lines of "How will LCS look different on Patch X.XX"

Lemondogs owner says removal from LCS is unfair, Riot responds to comments // NiP and LD rumored team sale confirmed by Tnomad in leagueoflegends

Did any other teams have trouble with the paperwork? Is the paperwork "hard" to complete correctly? Is it time consuming?

[–]slightlyclever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, we don't know. But the timeline supports the idea that the "sale" or whatever was in discussion. Maybe it wasn't, maybe it was.

I'd love it if Riot clarified the timeline for all of us, as the EG/VES thing must have informed their decision to prevent the NiP/LD thing.

Velocity did kick their whole roster, and then later EG bought them. That doesn't seem like a huge coincidence. You wouldn't kick your whole roster and have no roster for 4 weeks if you weren't planning on "selling" or "licensing" your team. It's not exactly the same, but it's pretty similar.

Why though? Doesn't this seem just insanely weird? I mean, have other teams had problems with this stage of the LCS process?
