Here’s a possible compromise, that I think would avoid a lot of the issues. Everyone is given what they earned, but access to it is gated by account standing. Once you’re back in good standing you get the border, skin etc. Incentives being positive while reducing the impact on low level offenders, but even giving the…

And this will come down to personal experience, so ymmv obviously. I’ve definitely lost my cool on more than one occasion, but no chat restrictions. I have time Warner and have had connection issues before, but never been leaves bustered, outside of that warning on the first one. So part of me has to wonder if all the…

If you only play for the border/skin/icon then sure....but, from my and I think many others, experiences the reason you keep playing is mastery of the game, and that has nothing to do with the rewards. If I look them up on op.gg their rank for the season will still show, their accomplishment still stands. I guess, the…

A few things....not being rewarded is not synonymous with being punished. They aren’t recieving a bonus, that is it. Nothing is being taken away from them. There us no double dipping of punishment here. Second, everyone has momentary outbursts, and most of us still manage to avoid any punishment. Either your friends…

Just a tin foil idea....but, they’re doing this to find all the douchenozzles who are taking this as a carte Blanche to troll and be toxic so they can just perma them all in one fell swoop.

Although to be fair, Kat is in such a strange place, total pub stomper, but bordering on unviable against half a brain with exhaust or any cc. I’d be happy if they just reverted the nerds to her splash

I think your right, rebalancing of defensive power curves, seems like a more appropriate descriptor. But that’s ignoring the most significant upcoming change....Project Leona!!!!

I think I saw somewhere that madwaifu was the preferred honorific

And since I totally ignored the meat of your post, I think you’re on to something. Don’t try and create a seperate league competing with whatever’s on top, but a developmental league for women, that gives them a chance to hone their craft and get noticed, seems like a great idea.

I was duo-queuing with a woman, who’s summoner name made it clear she was, for awhile, and holy shit I couldn’t believe the amount of attention we got from the opposing jungler and how ham the other bot would go. On the good side, once we realized this was a trend it was so easy to take advantage of it and get us from…

Jungle and support, I think, have the highest macro requirements. And they also usually have single skills that have the largest impact so make/miss can be disproportionately important and visible. Probably contributes to why it’s so easy to blame those roles, as well as the pressure they can feel.

Yup, along with jungle it carries the highest burden of knowledge/ map awareness. Not to mention the pressure of having every skill matter so much. In the lanes a single skillshot is rarely as impactful, both made and missed, as the high impact support plays. And God knows missing a hook or bubble or binding is…

For me personally, its lol>hots>Dota2. It is by far the easiest to pick up and play though. I think the closest approximation to league would be if aram had baron and drag.

Interesting, I didn’t play three until four was out so I sort of rushed through unfortunately. I know I missed the old lady and the Alyssa rescue of that ep. Although, knowledgeable old lady definitely reinforces the strong Donny darko vibes. I may have to dig that back out and see what other similarities I’ve missed

Interesting, I’ll have to actually think about this when I get home from happy hour, My phone isn’t likeing the gif. My mind never went that sci-fi to even consider that level of age manipulation....I’m intrigued no doubt

He seems way too young to be Nathan’s father....And I honestly can’t think of anything that points to it

Please elaborate

It’s a great example of how people happily put the blinders on when the reality disagrees with our snap judgements and stereotypes. He doesn’t look like evil incarnate, so we subconsciously ignore the mounting evidence since its all just bits and pieces rather than one giant revelation. Turning up the heat on the frog…

I’m curious, mostly because it’s opposite my experience, what made you think so many people were clued into time travel? Outside of Chloe being told, Samuel, who you didn’t mention, is the only one who I got the feeling new something was going on.

Ding ding ding. Shit, everyone needs a break and an hour workout before you get back to the game is honestly the best thing when playing competively. My attention and reflexes are never better than when I’m pumping out the bodies own drugs
