Geez, talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. This article makes it seem like some massive fallout is going down. It'as really pretty simple though:

I suppose this is technically the first big lore dump since their announcement, but really the change started nearly 2 years ago with the Freljord patch. I can't even recall the last champion released with any ties to the Institute of War/fields of justice and the Freljord patch was the first major lore change that…

You really think the current meta favors aggression? Have you been paying attention to this season at all? Aggression is easily countered by control. This isn't S3 anymore. Snowballing is almost non-existent. The teams that win are the teams that control vision and objectives - not the teams that tower dive @ 10 mins…

Literally nothing about your post makes sense. You make a claim ("Riot is taking inspiration from DotA 2") in a post about eSports and then back up your argument with . . . in-game changes. What? When it comes to eSports, Riot is miles ahead of the closest competitor. No one has ever done eSports on the level they're…

Errrrr, wow. That's a lot of misinformation. You say NA has no chance, but that the GPL and LPL teams do? The GPL is easily the weakest of the 5 major regions (NA, EU, KR, CH, SEA) and even their best contender (TPA) doesn't look strong enough to stand up to anyone but the wild card teams. (One need only look at…

I never understand people who say this. I probably play 5-10 games of League every day and there's usually only 1 - maybe 2 - games with a 'toxic' player in it (and that's a generous estimate).

Because of its existence, the player in 1st place isn't necessarily the player with the highest skill level. So while it punishes the person in 1st, it's still a random element in that anyone can be 1st due to how it functions. Lets say, objectively, without the blue shell, you are the best racer playing. You find…

I'm saying if you feel so strongly about it, you shouldn't be playing games with luck-based factors. Mario Kart is Monopoly; Gran Turismo is Chess. You're raging at Monopoly for not playing more like Chess and saying it's bad game design for Monopoly to play the way it does. I'm saying that you're missing the point…

Mario Kart is supposed to be a party game though. If you wanna have a skill based racing competition, why aren't you playing Gran Turismo or Forza instead? Your argument is like saying, "Monopoly shouldn't have dice rolls because random elements ruin skill based strategy. How am I supposed to get hotels on red when my…

Does game development count? I'm pretty sure Katawa Shoujo started off as a horrible 4chan joke due to how ridiculously offensive/obscene it sounded. "This hentai artist drew a bizarre picture of girls with various disabilities. What if we actually turned it into a real game where you try to hook up with these…

At least it gave us this:

Am I understanding your posts correctly? You generally hate anime because of how drawn out they are? But you like Attack on Titan? That seems a little strange to me given that AoT might be one of the slowest paced seasonal animes I've ever seen. Sure it doesn't compare to the plodding pace of weekly animes that get…

I've never been one who cared about 'plating' or the presentation of my meals. If it tastes good, I'll eat it. Hell, plenty of stews look like nothing more than giant bowls of slop, but that doesn't mean they aren't delicious. Does this taste like a bbq chicken sandwich? If so, serve it up and I'll bite right in.

Dear God, I can't even imagine S2 for at least another couple years. S1 moved at a fucking snail's pace (Battle for Troast should've been 3-4 episodes, not 10) and it covered (roughly) the first 34 chapters. Chapter 60 was just released today. With it being a monthly manga rather than weekly, I can't imagine there…

This entire discussion was based on, "Was X champion OP the moment they were launched?" since the original poster claimed virtually ALL champions were OP at release. Thus, the only criteria we need look at is win rates and patch notes at/following the time of their introduction. When Vi came out, she was a weak…

Reworking certain kits because they have an unhealthy playstyle =/= buffing/nerfing because they're UP/OP. You can't compare the Sona/Nidalee reworks to something like the first Rengar patch where they straight up buffed all his abilities because of how weak he was. Nami is another example. She got buffed like 5…

Unlike the other people in this thread, I have the facts to back up my statements.

Wanna take a look at that? Hrm, what do we see? Rengar came out and he was buggy and underpowered so he got SIGNIFICANTLY BUFFED after his release and wouldn't see any nerfs 'til nearly 3…

Aatrox is borderline. He wasn't underpowered but he wasn't overpowered either. He had pretty average/slightly above average win rates and has received very few balance changes since he was added to the game. He certainly wasn't 'OP' though. Jinx being the No.1 ADC from Lv.1 to 18 was OP. Braum being able to 1v1 any…
