Come the fuck on. This is BARELY logical in the case of trans individuals in physical sports (regardless of how you identify, there's unfortunately still physical differences that make things complicated - it'd be great if there wasn't the distinction, but I can see why it happens), but eSports? Bullshit.

Steam is slowly getting less and less favorable in my opinion. It would be next to impossible to drop them completely as a service though, given the amount of games I have there - I really hope another company steps up and gets them back on track via competition.

I'm in the same boat. I'm absolutely livid about the lack of charger with the new 3DS, and almost as bothered about how we only get the new XL. But I've got my preorder in, because at the end of the day it's not enough of a dealbreaker for me to outright boycott. It's a frustrating position to be in, decrying a…

Legitimate question - why respect them enough to give them anonymity? Nobody cares about posting names when someone tweets something uninformed, but death threats get your name censored out? That's fucked.

As a Canadian, I can tell you with certainty that they're not tricking anyone. It may be poor phrasing to a degree but if you genuinely find that offensive you need a priority shift. ._.

Agreed in some respects, but that doesn't mean people can't be civil either.

A couple people said it, but it's time travel and an alternate universe all at once. The main timeline/universe has everything that's happened so far, and this new one has only revealed that timeline's Draenor, with any events on their Azeroth currently unknown.

Yeah, I liked him more as an assassin personally. The big reason they tore him apart in the first place was because he, much like Kha'zix, could be a bruiser assassin, which made no fucking sense and was frustrating to an overwhelming degree to fight against. I'm almost wondering if they wanted to play up the rivalry…

I'm sure they did their research on it, I trust them enough for that; it's just that I don't know a single person who'd complain about another charger - god knows how easy it is to lose something like that, and Nintendo's big sell on it was "We're saving you money!" where the part involved maybe costs them $3 to make.…

April 2014's patch (4.5, to be exact) totally reworked League's token giant fearsome cat character Rengar, so much so that he wasn't the king of the jungle anymore once the software update got through with him. His damage and durability as one of the game's best "tank"-class characters were so thoroughly undermined…

It's not the cost, it's the principle of the thing. Whether Nintendo is going to admit it or not, the New 3DS is going to be the first handheld for a lot of folks, so their "most people are going to have this" argument - as much as I don't believe it in the first place - is only going to get weaker as this console…

I'm in the same boat - I've been placed every season of ranked play and I put some actual effort in during Season 3 before work picked back up, so altogether I've maybe played 50 ranked games? I'll probably look at doing it serious for this season because a lot of my issue's been a computer I can trust not to crash (I…

(And while we're at it, let's get some adapters for both models as well, that's the most blatant cashgrab I've seen since I watched a person in one of those booths with the money flying around.)

Yep, instead of getting to choose between two different versions of Nintendo's unfortunately-titled 3DS successor, North American fans are stuck with one: the New 3DS XL. That's the larger version. The smaller one—which is designed with swappable faceplates so people can tailor how it looks—isn't coming here.

And on an unrelated note, I can't wait until this hits live - I've played every champion at least a few times over the four years I've been playing, and while I'm better on some than others, I like to think there aren't any I'm 100% helpless at. XD

Pretty much this. Angry tryhards in normals, but people who don't take anything seriously in ranked. Between the two, it's REALLY hard to remember sometimes that the game can be fun with the right teammates.

The big problem with the League community is that easily half the players are in the wrong queues. If you want to put on your tryhard pants and give your absolute best, that's why ranked exists, but the same goes for people who do things like try a champion for the first time ever in ranked - ranked is intended to be…

I'm not sure what you're saying about the competitor part? Twitch isn't saying that you can't upload them to YouTube, they're warning you that Content ID is a separate system that they don't have any control over.

I can totally understand why most Asian countries have beef with Japan - they did awful shit on par with any Western regime and in general the vibe I get is one of dismissal. For those who need context, it'd be something like if most of Germany denied the Holocaust, except for some reason most of the western world is…
