Yeah, but I mean it was a valid criticism even if the threat was probably not there, if you're a lovely player and happen to also be down on yourself for being a lovely player a random dude adding you to harass you mercilessly probably doesn't help. I don't really know what the likelihood of that was exactly, but that's odd the stream got killed.

Have the other saltybet streams started to get hit?

In Bronze/Silver she is still a great pick because people are clueless about cooldown timings.

According to twitter saltyteemo will be back up tomorrow, it just got caught up in a mass reporting somehow? Wait and see what happens I guess.

Do you find that playing ranked on your smurf translates to playing on your main, despite the elo difference?

And grats! Now you've gotta go for the redemption play of beating qtpie as xerath with a baron steal imo.

It always strikes me as weird that a lot of people unironically call pretty much any player that is below the level of the best pros bad. Like say you're in Diamond 5 or something, that puts you in the top 3% or so of League players, but so many people call that level of skill bad. It's something that seems to be unique to video games, like if you're in the top 3% of literally any other skill in the world nobody would say you are bad, you would be considered outstanding at that skill.

When you're in the top 1% you get placed often against people who are in the top 0.01% because of progressively smaller populations for them to play. When you're in the top 50% and play against someone in the top 45% it's just another day. When you're 1 in 100 and you play against someone who's 1 in 10000, let's just say that it's a really humbling experience.

The first time I got into Gladiator range in WoW as a Feral I immediately faced Reckful and I was destroyed so incredibly hard that it pretty much made me see how bad I was instantaneously.

there's a bell curve thing where most players are willing to ban overpowered champions, but the least skilled players are too dumb to know what to ban and the most skilled players are too arrogant to ever think they would lose to fotm picks

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
When I used to play with Keeby like a year ago he basically spent every game calling everything he laned against OP and I'm surprised he didn't die of a rage stroke. Now he's very good at multiple roles and makes calm and smart calls on the map while I'm losing one or more lanes for the team and joins a wonderful pool of goons who regularly carry me - a nearly useless old man - to victory.
