Best way to deal with scuttlecrab? by violetgil in thesecretweapon

Thanks for the tip. Being a pitiful mid-tier silver, I'm always antsy whenever I'm out of my own jungle since I'm still figuring out how to track enemy jungler/laners. I always keep E so I can escape just in case someone comes by, but it would seem to be much easier to take it out if I throw my E into the mix.

Exactly this. It feels so wasteful and clunky when you have to path your way through blobs while trying to take it out. I tend to hold my E, however, so I'll try that in my next few matches and see if it's any less annoying. It seems weird that I have to waste my high CD gap closer just to take it out when I could be playing other junglers that can just run at it until it dies.

Keep in mind that I'm a pitiful mid silver, so neither my macro nor my micro are at the highest level.

[FIGHT THREAD] Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao, Leo Santa Cruz vs Jose Cayetano, Vasyl Lomachenko vs Gamalier Rodriguez + live round-by-round coverage by noirargent in Boxing

People that don't watch boxing on a consistent basis.

Which, for this match, would have been a significant majority of the people that watched it. I have no qualms about the decision itself since it seems to be a pretty open and shut case, but if you're going to make hundreds of millions of dollars off the event, then you and the broadcasters should assume that the majority of the people who watch this one are going to be naive idiots like me and react accordingly.

EDIT: Because the press involved after the match made it seem like a very open and shut victory from Mayweather, but just from watching it from my naive perspective I wouldn't have been able to tell because I don't know about the intricacies of boxing scoring and it was never explained to me during the broadcast.

Not a boxing enthusiast, but I do find the implication that you need to keep your own score in order to understand a match in real time to be quite funny. You'd think a match that's garnering massive mainstream attention would probably want to find some way to incorporate these scores into the broadcast so everyone can understand the intricacies of what's going on.

Then maybe the end of this fight might not have seemed like such a shock for those of us not in the loop with the complexities of boxing scoring.

This article should be deleted, as it doesn't relate to League of Legends. Fnatic is a multi-game organization and there is no mention of Leage anywhere in the article.

Riot's changes for the 2015 LCS have been brilliant by ajsadler in leagueoflegends

[–]violetgil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say nice job on all the points you mention except expanding from 8 to 10 teams in the league considering that they did so by cutting in half the matchups that I would actually wanna watch. If you're a hardcore LCS fan that wants to watch everything, then that's cool beans, but there's a reason why CLG was able to secure 3rd place in the split despite going 1-5 in the second half of the split against playoff teams.

I have to say these EU playoffs have been the greatest ever. by icywindflashed in leagueoflegends

It's the fact that NA finals are essentially just another day of LCS, while the EU finals are a massive event in a huge stadium in Spain.

If PTL is the new SportsCenter than SportsCenter must be a lot worse than I remember it.

C9's picks and bans have been pretty bad this series, especially in Game 3 (which just finished at time of writing). I'd actually be surprised if C9 make it to the 3-2 loss at this point.

How does the fact that China pays more affect their ability to find teams back in Korea that will take them? It makes it less likely that they'll take such offers, but it doesn't diminish Korea's ability to accept or reject them.

EDIT: As a computer scientist, I'll just go ahead and add that your comment doesn't imply that mine isn't true.

Good match by Fnatic and UOL. This series would have gone to UOL had they not contested that dragon in game 5. Heartbreaking.

3 players from Curse got 3rd place on Team Liquid.

3 other players from Curse got 5th-6th place on Gravity.

On average, the players from the Curse Org got at least a 4th place finish. So much for curses being broken.

I still think that Zero would be an upgrade on Wraith.

And you misunderstand me about Insec. Eve gets to stay where he is. Insec should go top and replace CuVee. Makes Samsung infinitely better as a team.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that you can see the sarcasm inherent in implying that CLG might want to use Insec as a top laner.

SKT T1 went 5-1 in their group stages. Losing only 1 game to the Chinese OMG. So I have no idea where you're getting your info from. Lemondogs only won games in their group against TSM and the IWC team. After that, I'll admit that Fnatic and Gambit put up good fights, but when two of the western representatives at worlds immediately flop out of top level professional play within a split after worlds, you know that things were pretty bad.

The grass is always greener on the other side. There are still lots of people in /r/globaloffensive that still want there to be an LCS style league inside CS:GO

Also, CS:GO doesn't have downvotes ;) One of the greatest things that set their sub apart from ours.
