Its not anymore, after nerf after nerf and buffs to other starting items, its just living in the past to still call it a good starting item

Yes, soul is permanent, baron is not.

If you fail the soul push, enemy team gets baron for a few minutes, fail the baron push, enemy team stacks another dragon and puts you in an awkard spot

It has a visual indicator

1: There are tons of ads, and remember america is only a % of the world who plays league, just because you haven’t seen american ads doesn’t mean other regions aren’t flooded with them.

2: Champion releases are at an all time low

3: a tutorial in something like heartstone or age of empires only takes you so far anyways, a “good tutorial” to you, is one that magically teaches new players everything, is there improvment to be made? Of course, but theirs nothing like major they can do to make the tutorial suddenly make anyone who touches league a good player

4: New players don’t fall in line with the meta, they have no clue what it is

This is the slowest champ release cycle in the history of the game

Feels like a bad middle child, stuck between doing less damage then panth support, and being less useful then Alistar support

Because, the point of the nerfs isn’t so people don’t play ziggs, ziggs is still good, he still fits thematically well in aram, the nerfs are just so he isn’t overwhelmmingly strong.

If they showed the nerfs, his playrate would quite litterally die, even though ziggs isn’t bad at all

You will never go under 100% damage…? You’re just gonna miss out on every champion thats innately good in aram for the most part, because a ton of the nerfed champs are some of the better ones, which is why they are nerfed a little

LS’s theory is the same theories applied in RTS games and card games.

League attracts much more of that, competitive arena fighter group then it does the strategical group like card games pull.

Even people adamantly against anything LS will ever say can agree that there is a genuine lacking in the strategic part of league. The best of the best in card games are the ones who find even the slightest chances of increases their win probability, the best of age of empires would laugh at you for purposely not practice something that will give you even a 1% extra chance to win just because you don’t want too.

We know pros have complained about playing certain picks in scrims, we know some pros can’t play certain champs. Thinking back to how 369 had to be yelled at by his teammates for his inability to pick up Gnar. These sorts of things sprout from a community built upon the “the better the hands the better your odds of winning” mindset. Which of course is true, however, ignoring strategies and the such is not smart just because you have better hands. If league had no micro skill, and was pure macro, we’d see so much more innovation as thats the community that would foster, and thats how you easily increase your odds of winning.

Pros just don’t like spending hours for such small increases in chance to win, that won’t really follow you over to the next team you go to unless you spend more time learning this information fully yourself instead of just working with your coach.

China has 31 servers, what are you smoking if you think you can’t find a single one of those to provide you single digit ping

Play games man, you have 0 wins so youve barely played, the games just figuring out where you belong

Ezreal, every q hit removes 1.5s from every ability + his ult

Because people bought skins and eternals of her

Faker dropping to his knees in a walmart rn bc Sakshou declares his storyline over

Fearless draft is good for developmental leagues

Faker had surgey iirc, doubt itll show up if ues taking measures to prevent it

What? 18 is one of the youngest ages ppl go pro on

Why…? Beryl shotcalled Damwon to a worlds win, msi finals, and worlds final back to back, then went on to shotcall DRX to a worlds win

PBE isnt for balance data, riot has stated this sooo many times, its for bug reporting. There is no balance data to gain from a korean challeneger laning vs a japanese iron player

Blind pick = no bans on new champ No bans on new champ = more games played of champ More games played of champ = More bug reporting

Why? So JDG could lose 1-3 again?

Aphelios with a lead feels like one of the more scarier ADCS. You list a ton of issues with the ADC role in general, claim that Aphelios only gets kills if the enemy team doesn’t understand him, which is a laughably bad take, and I know deep down you know that aswell.
