League of Legends (Old)

I've heard that there are issues with translation to English, and that it's not as "bad" as it seems - in the sense that while the stupid rule is definitely transphobic, it's supposedly not homophobic. Which is better than being both, I guess. It's still a bullshit rule, though.

[BROseidon]

The issue is that the specific term refers to a group of people who don't fit in the western gender/sexuality identification scheme.

People tend to forget that sexuality and gender are socially constructed and that different cultures can have identities that we straight-up don't.

I kind of figured that one out on my own. I highly doubt that anyone is going to say "preferring sexual relations with X makes you a better/worse player".

No, it's far more likely they'll fall back on the good old fashioned "transwomen have an unfair advantage due to X".

Yeah, basically. Fuck Garena.

Garena removed the restrictions. Thank finally.

Not shown in article: Garena being threatened within an inch of their business relationship with Riot. Riot has a lot of problems, but they've done a decent job trying to crack down on slur-users, and this seems like the sort of thing (combined with the tweet yesterday) that they just won't tolerate.

Got 3000 ping? No worries. You're playing Eggnivia in aram! Just bait the enemy team into exploiting your situation so your team gets an ace.

Sometimes it feels good to play Trundle and never die.

[dramonic]

Promoted to Gold II
yay~

Wanted to share this game highlights because I had never gotten a double, triple and quadra on Aatrox before. That felt really Nice.

Those baronthrows are real though

Champion.gg is a pretty well-organized site. I like it almost as much as leagueofgraphs.

[zoraster]

wow. i think i like that even more

[FakeGod]

holy shit

Jayce is the best champion in the game

[Iecerint]

Some of the graphs are pretty interesting! For example, despite being a quintessential "late game" champion, Vladimir has his highest winrate in the 20-25 minute time-bin (53%), whereupon his winrate drops dramatically until the 35+ minute bin (which is the latest bin available). I might have expected a pretty different power-curve.

Other late game champions like Sejuani have the anticipated power curve, though.

[Nikanor]

noooooo, they listed annie as the 2nd-highest win rate for midlaners (behind ahri), now people are going to know she's op.

[Cabd]

Bronze is full of people who complain yay!
I die to save my adc from a gank and i'm a scrub who feeds.

[Iecerint]

I was happy to see Ardent Censer in Sona's high winrate items. Much vindication. ^_^

Bronzies complain about everything. Not surprising.

Champion.gg is a pretty well-organized site. I like it almost as much as leagueofgraphs.

Some of those pages recommend using 4 AS glyphs on adcs. Is that a thing? Last I heard MR glyphs was the only thing worth using on adc.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

It's been a thing for a while, Jahudo

[Iecerint]

Looks like it's on Kalista/Vayne/Twitch/Koggles, so it seems to pop up where you expect the extra AS might do work. I'd never heard of it before, either.

It's interesting to compare the popularity and success of that approach. For example, it's more popular than successful on Koggles, but it's more successful than popular on Kalista.

As a vlad player: this is because Vlad murders lane when he gets going (Hextech and Guise or Needlessly Large Rod), but he can't roam that well to secure kills because he has no CC. So if the advantage from Vlad winning lane isn't enough to close out the game, he's kind of just waiting for big teamfights to start so Hemoplague can style upon everyone.

[Voidedmafia]

So he's like a worse version of Rumble?

[PJ.]

Everything is worse than rumble.

I think I saw this champion.gg site a really long time ago and I felt the information was kinda inaccurate.

[theelkspeaks]

So can someone talk about building fighters like Irelia, Darius, Fiora, and so on? If I build sunfire/randuins, my damage is low, but if I build Tiamat first and then build into tankiness, I don't have enough survivability.
