Hi, a bit about myself:
I'm a final year Computer Gaming Technology student and for my final project I have to write a 10k word dissertation that is backed up by an artefact.
I am an old-school dota player and currently Immortal rank 3000. I played League back when it first came out, literally season 1, and have a total play time of around 2 years. I have a general understanding of the game and I obviously respect it for being the other MOBA giant out there.
This is why I have chosen my topic to be "The importance of roles and balancing in MOBA games".
For my artefact, I have decided to feed data in an interactive way, displaying statistics from games played where 1 team has a proper meta line-up and the other has a random line up (for example, no supports, or only carries).
However, since most players on all brackets have started playing according to the meta, especially since the introduction of role-queue, it is quite hard to find matches like that.
This is why I am asking for 10 volunteers to play a handful of games in a lobby for me. One team will have a proper line-up and the other will not. Skill level is isn't of much importance, however average skilled players are highly encouraged to enroll. I do not expect these games to prolong, meaning you can concede when you feel the game is beyond salvation.
Unfortunately, LoL isn't my domain and I don't have skins to gift to the people who help me out, however you will receive acknowledgment for having taken part in my experiment. Should my dissertation receive a high enough mark, it can be published which means there's a chance for your IGN's to be on an officially published paper on MOBA games.
I will NOT be participating during the game (only as a spectator) which means I need TEN people in order to do this.
Please if you are interested, reply to this post with your League ID and I will add you to a discord channel where further arrangements will be made. I'll have to dig up my old accounts and see whether I will need EU West or Nordic and East players.
Thank you.
EDIT: Sorry for writing a "handful" instead of a specific number. I want to start with 10 games and then decide whether more are necessary or not. I know 10 games sounds like a lot, but remember they don't have to be played out till the end, you can concede!Also, they can be played over the course of 2 or more days.
EDIT2: I added most (if not all) of you on league and discord. I changed my Riot ID to DragonEye#8894 but my IGN still appears to be CaptainDragovnii
EDIT3: GUYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH, I DIDN'T EXPECT SO MANY RESPONSES IN JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS!!! I ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE SO I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ANYONE ELSE!!!
Again, you have my deepest gratitude! I'll post results and final dissertation when everything is ready!
P.S. r/DotA2 Downvoted me into oblivion and barely got any responses there. You guys are awesome.
