This analysis is longer than the series itself

The toxicity of T1 ( at least its current iteration )and weirdness of nunu guy I would say are rather different than Thorins and co.

They are just being loud and extra. It’s all mostly a big act, even if T1 has been extremely toxic in game. They look like dirrenged clowns in a good way, because that is what they are going for.

Thorin and co are dry, to the point and act like they always know better. While being toxic. Which just makes them look like huge assholes with boomer energy

Not only that. As a tank you want to avoid DPS. A large amount of mages or mage assassins are not DPS oriented but burst. And hp already highly counters burst, that and the fact that if you use your kit and not obtain anything you are now fucked. But all ad by nature can output DPS. As a tank player syndra and akali are annoying, but brand and Viktor are scary

KDF going into the time chamber to train, cvmax is amazing

Chovy winning worlds with faker as a coach would give me Gohan doing a kamehame ha with Gokus ghost behind him

Faker moves to coach/substitute, his injury is too jard. Chovy gets hired as mid. Everyone in T1 teaches chovy how not to be choky. They golden road

Because this does not fix the issue you are trying to fix, only makes it worse. Having a wider champion pool makes the game harder to balance but more balanced at the same time.

Velkoz may suffer from assassins. So we may go towards a meta with zed mid. To whom someone can pick Nautilus mid and utterly fuck him. To this you may actually pick a velkoz to counter it.

Don’t take the matchups at face value just random examples.

Every single imbalance or however you want to phrase it is a show of skill. It’s a much more dimensional game than many others, because you are not doing one task. You are doing many with no objectively better way. And the game changed so sometimes doing a specific one much better will make you a better player. Adapting to that is the skill as well.

I am not saying the changes are bad for what he is trying to accomplish. I am saying what he is trying to accomplish is not necessarily good, specially as he tries to approach it as if its “what’s needed” and not “what he wants from it”

So you are telling me that Bin will be unstoppable if he gets faker as his midlaner? Let all macro decisions to the sand emperor, just 1v1

I seen his feedback. It sucks. It’s a wishlist hoping the champion is designed towards high skill midlaners. Which fits him. Perhaps does not fit the majority of velkoz players that are low skilled support players.

I am sorry but balance is not done around how you wish your champ played.

I wish rammus deflected damage on spells too, I mean it just fucking feels awful playing against ap teams with him, why are they forcing me to play my favourite champion only against ad heavy teams? Or at least make my e increase the attack speed! As well with riven, I just hate how I can’t play Vs tanks, why can’t I get some base armour pen?? Why should I not be able to get an universally efficient stat that could transform me into some assassin with all my dashes. Why can a type of champ just counter me? Why don’t you just modify velkoz to make it a much better mid laner which is what I mid lane velkoz main want? Does it matter that most people play it support? No afterall I am not most people.

The amount of people that do not understand that is not ho Him taking every decision. That he is supposed to defend their decisions to the public. Let’s say management went and said “pings are a problem we are going to do a” and just push that through the backlog. If you ever work in it this not rare

Then he talks shit about it online? Or perhaps is part of his team with 10 different ideas trying one by one…

Again his point. Thinking that the solutions are so simple.

First T1 are not the dominant force they were. Still a top team. Why people like them? Well first faker, a constant in an ever changing world. Players had time to get emotionally attached to him and T1 as they have become synonymous.

And in the last two years they have developed a new team, almost entirely from in house, except Keria. So you had a team of young progedies and the og of a game suddenly burst again into top contenders of their region and worlds. In these two years/three years they have barely changed, allowing everyone to get attached. And they have won, won so much in such fun ways. This team has gone from almost perfect team fight, to trolling all game ones, to simple 5 threats in each lane, to basically troll picks. Twitch support? Rumble support? It has been a lot of fun.

And that added to almost winning everything makes people a fan. Personalities in and out of game, good gameplay, longevity. Most others teams don’t have that, and those that do are extremely popular too. (G2 by example)

I comment similar toxicity/death threats every post game match? What are you on about? I have no idea what take or angle you are trying to express, but given that seems to be defending the people flaming I will presume is a bad one. Have a nice day.

And in so, riot removed communication further!

They are just chronically online. Believe that reading through a million shit thrown at you is not a problem, afterall is just the internet right? Probably think the same thing when it comes to flaming

“every time he makes a change”. You understand nothing of how companies work, how teams work or how software development works. A secret, is not one guy deciding everything and up to that person. Another secret, any person explaining patch notes is going to defend them, literally their job, you do not undermine your team and all decision making publicly.

Half this thread confirming that phreak is more than right.
