https://www.facebook.com/gg.Immortals/videos/1603788999915616/ All Immortals players got early permission to seek offers from other teams while remaining under contract (I think they would have expired in Nov) and it looks like there will be changes before IEM. And they're placing players as position coaches on other NA teams. I'd love to see Huni try to coach someone and Doublelift and Sneaky taunt WT. Learning better pathing through Reignover seems pretty tight tho.

Mark my words, worlds is going to end up being Rek'sai, Elise and Lee. Again.

Firebert posted:They nerfed Shen It's sad how the same junglers are viable as last year. Riot ruined J4's first clear they nerfed his base armor and the armor he got from his e but for Reksai who is even more dominant they just nerf her base armor. Hecarim wasn't even that broken but they nerf it really hard because of Soloq but its still good in soloq because they nerf the wrong parts of his kit.

i mean, rek'sai has the perfect kit. they will have to nerf her to being actual unplayable for her to leave the jungle meta.

Kindred was really really good at what she did, but you see champs like Nidalee and Graves come and go because their niche can be outright negated even without heavy handed nerfs. Rek'sai has a global, the best vision, and unique gank paths and a really easy to hit knock up cc. If they get rid of hydra or make it worse, or find some way to force junglers to have to finish their jungle item first, she will just go back to the position where theoretically you could exploit her lack of damage/level 6 power spike, but i think they'd have to make her unable to clear or something to totally remove her.

Old sight stone reck sigh was fine but extremely boring, which seems to be what riot games wants in their pro junglers.

i guess in the perfect storm where rek'sai lost some early game pressure (which as for now i only see happening by other champs taking over for it in a vacuum, and beyond elise i dont see anyone else being that able to totally pressure her out) and being able to give up the first blue buff stopped being relevant somehow she wouldn't be useful but those are both pretty specific.

Riot doesn't want Junglers anymore, they want a second roaming support with no gold income and no pressure before 20 minutes.

If you go back to lane swaps so ganks don't matter and completely gutted tremor sense that would probably do it.

Why can't they just buff a bunch of junglers so that jungling is actually super awesome? Why does it always have to be some trio of limp dick gimped pieces of poo poo who are only good for the ways they cheat the mechanics of jungling?

Because riot is extremely against junglers winning games for reasons I'm not sure of.

Riot is in that phase of "No rushes before 20 minutes and no drops from the side" you and your friends used as house rules when playing BGH Starcraft ffas as kids except they have the power to make that the actual rules of the game

The significant changes to frozen mallet and Gnar seems like that is going to affect the top lane.

The only bad part about the standard lanes/first tower blood is rift herald is ignored.

Most pro teams always have river vision or are river roaming and almost all T/J/M players are constantly flying back and forth around that area in the mid-game looking for game-opening picks/kills so the odds that you can safely do Rift Herald and get the small benefit of the buff are extremely rare and it's much more likely that you will do some stupid game throw attempting it, unless you explicitly trading it for a dragon on the other side of the map which never seems worth it.

Libertine posted:I honestly still don't even know what Rift Herald does. This highlights one of the reasons that I'm becoming disillusioned with league as a spectator sport. Riot has created a bundle of specialized cases to balance their game without actually dealing with the core issues. This has been obvious by observing their champion balance dealing with nerfing everything instead of buffing interesting counter picks. You end up with things like Rift Herald giving bonus attack damage if you're solo pushing a lane, or whatever they did to the bottom tower. The burden of knowledge becomes too great, even as a casual observer, to keep up with all of the shortcuts. To be honest, I can't even keep up with champion kits. Gnar has a slow, an escape, percent hp damage, another slow, another escape, a conditional stun, and I don't even know his last two or three abilities. And he's not alone.

If your question is ever, "How did someone convince venture capitalists to invest in something?" then the answer is, "Because they're venture capitalists."

No matter what Riot does it seems the jungle meta gets pretty solved into a few picks; so I agree they might as well just give them more fun stuff to do, yeah. The main concern I'd have is that if a pick buffed for the jungle comes to dominate another lane instead, and fucks up that meta/pick set. But that just means more careful buffing.

Riot isn't against Jungle carrying because pretty much most of early season 6 was junglers carrying. Thats why Rox tigers were considered the best team because they had Peanut the best jungler. You could play Nidalee/Graves/Kindred/Elise and basically solo carry the game. Also jungle camps gave more xp but not long ago that got changed. If u remember the games where Crash/Peanut were flame horizoning the enemy jungler and had level advantage over everyone in the game because jungle camp xp. Well Riot nerf all those champs and then jungle camps xp. Well its typical riot balancing instead of nerfing one thing they nerfed the junglers and the jungle. Thats why many of those champs fell out of meta or became less prioritized. Also Reksai not taking blue is a big point rabisquid brought up. This basically gives a free lane to ur midlaner and he can just perma push the lane if he dies he is boosted. I know Meteos did this when he played Zac he gave first blue to Jensen but I think blue is actually decent on Zac cause of the cdr and ap. Reksai doesn't really scale out of cdr, not really a good stat on her thats why u see people just rush randuins/tiamat/cinderhulk very little cd.

Every time carry junglers get strong, they're nerfed until they're unusable or they buff a different meta. Carry oriented junglers are never en vogue for a long, long time. Actually no jungle meta lasts longer than a season because Riot obsessively rebalances it constantly. Kinda miss that meta where the jungle was super easy to clear so you could jungle basically anything.

Thorin's Thoughts are out His points: *The same ruling that banned Badawi & Monte stating that any possibility of future ownership is illegal. The situation G2/FNC were in was breaking that exact rule. *That G2 could exert leverage over FNC behind the scenes, like re-negotiating the contract if FNC were to trade over a player to G2. *Hilger was given ample time to work with Riot to ensure they had all the facts, while Riot punished Montecristo without his cooperation because he wanted to bring a lawyer in to protect himself. *That rule hadn't been enforced heavily before, so RNG/TDK should have been the warning, and FNC/G2 should have been the ban, not the other way around. *Nobody knows what a reversible loan is and assumes Riot made the term up because they have no idea what they're talking about. *Regardless on whether Badawi/Monte had a backroom deal giving back Badawi 50% ownership, Riot would have had to approve it and probably wouldn't have so the ban for something they couldn't have done anyway is lovely. Thorin's conclusion is that G2/FNC shouldn't be banned, but punished and that it's very clear that TDK/RNG shouldn't have been banned either; it was a clear bias against Badawi and Monte by someone high up in Riot and there was no effort to apologize or reach out to Monte/Badawi and make amends for a knee-jerk reaction

I don't think anyone but Riot needed to be told that this was blatant favoritism/a huge grudge against Monte

Apparently behind the scenes stats and analytics show esports having insane growth potential and people wanna get in now while the cost to get in to the ownership game is incredibly cheap relative to other sports. This is why you see guys like Shaq and that other NBA player buying into these teams, they recognize that there is a sport scene developing and it's future numbers are going up all the time. Hell, TI6 just ended and it had the biggest prize pool that tourney has had yet and it's viewership was hitting the same kind of numbers major sporting events get with a smaller player base than league has so the better question is probably why more rich as gently caress people looking to invest in something aren't investing in the top of the ecosystem right now
