So is raging at someone and telling them they're bad for having a different opinion about the best way to play Wizard Football.


Nah, I was legit surprised that there was so much rage from what feels like a chill community over me saying "Hey, this group of people seems like more fun to play league with."

I'm no puppet master, just a guy glad that if I make people mad, they're insufferable people.

i dont think anyone here is actually raging on you

they are, however, confronting you about your original post and a lot of them made me laugh cause the replies were very witty!!!!

Nah, they seem legit mad, which still baffles me.

If they were witty to you, you're in luck, however. There's a site called "reddit" that's full of stuff equally witty and hilarious.

It's very good in the right hands at the pro level, and I think that's a big part of the reason it's getting hit so hard.

I was only watching LCS with one eye this weekend, but I seem to recall a lot of people mentioning her as a power pick in 6.4. If so, this was a super-fast response to it.

No, that is in fact the exact opposite of what he said.

Half the people I saw picking it (on my team) didn't even know the reset/root tricks to make her work anyway. What this means is the nerf won't change her jungle viability for most low level players, but they'll see she was nerfed and stop picking her. Rest in piss.

She has been a jungle power pick for all of 2016, and was high-tier for most of last year.

She's always pretty high up there, but every patch it seems that there's one or two junglers that you have to pick/ban. She rotated up to that this patch, I mean.

Sorry if that wasn't clear before.

I just wanted to say I love dynamic queue. Since it's come out I've made way more e-friends with other people's premades and we go on to play 3/4/5 mans and it's a grand time. I'm having much more fun with League now that dynamic queue is out because the game is now way more social and I don't have to abandon my roommates because we have 3/4 people and we want to play "srs" ranked games.

I can understand how it may be a problem for the highest echelons of play but for 99% of the player base I think it's an improvement.

Also regarding the Nidalee nerfs...what are you supposed to do with her now? Can she still jungle without the root? Or is she going to become a ho-hum laner?

vvvv and gently caress Yi. I know Shyv and Udyr have better statistical performance but something about Yi's absurdity when fed just upsets me so much.

They should put in solo queue just to watch it implode/have half the player base get banned

You've somehow misinterpreted every single word I typed, that's genuinely impressive.

New Champion Select =/= Dynamic Queue.
New Champion Select + Dynamic Queue is our current ranked situation.
New Champion Select + Solo Queue is the thing people want.

If you can only do this in the first 5 minutes or so then you really cannot abuse this.

Lol also still have the best feature that Dota outright declines to have and that is a surrender button.

It works for hots, but it helps a lot that hots has guaranteed win conditions on a lot of maps thanks to objectives. You can theoretically win a lot of maps without attacking a single tower and just abusing objectives (e.g. the temple, pirate map, etc).

With league you can just take all towers and drag a game out for 40 minutes until the enemy team gets full build and wins or your vayne gets her penta

league actually has quite a few cases where surrendering is a much better option than continuing, it's just most dumbfucks that you end up playing with don't understand the best time to surrender or not surrender.

Fajita Queen

Surrendering is a positive if you look at it from the perspective of getting the most out of your time but most people are ragey idiot fucks so you often have situations with people throwing the game out the window at 20 mins because they lost lane or dragging a game out well past the time you actually lost because a couple nerds want to win at any cost.

Bholder
Feb 26, 2013

Issue is not when one lane lost, it's when every single lane lost.

Or when it's 20 minutes in, the enemy team has 9 pristine untouched towers and the enemy team is dancing around baron while we are desperately trying to fight against multiple lanes of super minions there's barely anything you can do and frankly I would rather do anything else but to wait the game out.

I played with a Lucian today, who upon losing our first inhib at 19 minutes, about 10k gold down, says "Don't surrender guys, just play safe we have the late game"

Their team: Ahri, Vayne, Yasuo
Our team: Ekko, Lucian, Riven
