If you want to learn what this weird game is, check out the main League of Legends thread If you want to talk about competitive games while they go on, check out that thread Riot Games just released a fantasy league for the LCS. The LCS is the premier competitive circuit for the videogame League of Legends, and the fantasy league encompasses both the European and American LCS. The Fantasy Leagues will run for the upcoming Summer split. Sign up here: http://fantasy.na.lolesports.com/en-US Learn how to play here: http://fantasy.na.lolesports.com/en-US/how-to-play How to Make a League Every league has eight players. You will all need to be present when the draft happens. How to Make a Team When constructing a team you can choose 7 players, one for every position and one flex pick from any position. You also choose 3 subs who can replace one of your main players on a given weak. You also choose one of the teams to be the team you track. Then, throughout the split you are scored on the following metrics: Players Kills: 2 pts Deaths: -0.5 pts Assists: 1.5 pts CS: 0.01 pts Triple Kill: 2 bonus pts Quadra Kill: 5 bonus pts Penta Kill: 10 bonus pts 10+ Kills / Assists: 2 bonus pts Teams First Blood: 2 pts Dragons taken: 1 pt Barons taken: 2 pts Towers destroyed: 1 pt Victory: 2 pts Use this thread to discuss the games, cry about how bad your Darien pick was, and try to convince your opponents to not start Bjergsen. Current Leagues: Flameingblack posted:Silver Squid ran by Luna Was Here [quote="occipitallobe" post="429704662" I made this team for Oceania goons if we can get enough to play. If we only get 4 or 6, we can remake the league for that number. You're welcome to try if you're from other regions, but I'm not sure if it'll work. http://fantasy.lolesports.com/en-US/join/league/34366/F1Dzp9tJFpN3k65cFff1 [/quote] semicolonsrock fucked around with this message at 02:04 on May 16, 2014 |

I shouldn't have drafted Diamond when I already had Meteos, and my flex spot was filled with Vasilli. Obviously Imaqtpie is never leaving my roster. Although I do have Hai and Shiphtur, so we'll see. I think the reason I always lose these things is because I choose players I like, not necessarily players who will do well...

Does anyone else think that first blood being worth 2 points for a team is way too heavily weighted? I haven't like run numbers or anything, but that seems like a lot for something that isn't as outcome-based as like towers or dragons or something. I also kinda wish that dragons/barons would be weighted by in-game percentage instead of raw numbers, if a team like C9 two splits ago dominates the majority of their games and ends them in like an average of 24 minutes or whatever that should be worth more points than an EG/CRS slapfest that goes like a full hour. Wins that take less time being weighted more heavily than longer wins would be pretty cool.

Here's the links for the leagues so far. If you're linking a League make sure you link the URL to let people join, otherwise it just tells users "Not a member of this league" and they can't do anything Silver Squid ran by Luna Was Here GoonSkype ran by a literal cat. In real life. (This is guys who are in the LCS Gameday skype calls, so it's probably more closed than SilverSquid) RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 00:44 on May 16, 2014 |

I haven't like run numbers or anything, but that seems like a lot for something that isn't as outcome-based as like towers or dragons or something. I agree, especially about First Blood. I think the graphic I saw from All Stars actually had less than 50% of the teams that got first blood winning the game, and for pretty much every event before that it was ~50%.

Fill up SilverSquid first so we can start drafting! http://fantasy.na.lolesports.com/en-US/league/3392 I don't even care if I don't get to pickup QTPie, I've just been wanting a smurf called "DeathcapforQT" for a long time, and now I'm achieving my big dick club fantasies.

The Silver Squids link does not work for me at all and I see I am going to have some gimmick Ben Gibbard/QTPie reference competition The first blood points are obviously to give an edge to everyone who knows that Kiwikid cannot help but secure kills.

This appears to be kinda stupid, and I have no idea what the pro scene is like at all, but why the hell not. If nothing else, I can pretend to be excited when someone on my team does something cool.

So the draft takes place in realtime? Do you think you get randomed a player or the this just cancels if people don't pick in time?

WARNING: it drafts in realtime and doesn't pause for players who aren't there, so make sure your whole league is on and ready or it will suck.

Does the draft happen on command, or does it start the moment your league fills up?

Well, with the way drafting works, it seems like we should coordinate it more. Maybe set up a time where everyone is free and then have a Skype call or something?

OK semi-fake enthusiasm aside, it's probably a good idea to hold off a bit, especially with how much downtime the site is having right now. I'll be gone until Sunday so I wouldn't be able to draft until then though.

I think everyone is online right now, just waiting on Servaetes I do believe. We could do this tonight if everyone is up for it so long as Servaetes doesn't yoink off on us

Yeah, I'm not sure if the current set up is very good for 'random strangers, join my fantasy team!' It makes more sense for people who are close friends that can do that sort of thing. And the website keeps dying.

So uh, I think you can't join leagues if your summoner name is from a different region. I made this team for Oceania goons if we can get enough to play. If we only get 4 or 6, we can remake the league for that number. You're welcome to try if you're from other regions, but I'm not sure if it'll work. http://fantasy.lolesports.com/en-US/join/league/34366/F1Dzp9tJFpN3k65cFff1

I'm about to head out, but I'll check online late tonight, 9-10PM Pacific. Probably our best option is just a set time when we can all be on, I'm guaranteed free all Sunday so that would be best for me, but I can try to make something else work.
