Okay, but none of the individual cores are reaching 100%. Ergo, no CPU throttling. I specifically said core in my original post. Am I still missing something?

He's right. That's not the way that Multi core CPUs work. A single thread will not run on just one core - it will jump across different cores, one at a time. On an 8 core system, one thread running at 100% can and probably will) look like 12.5% of your entire system. One individual core will not run flat out while the others are idling.

Thanks for the response! It really means a lot to see this acknowledged.

I believe consistent is more important than high, sure. However, if it bounces between 150 and 10,000 I don't care- if it's above my monitor refresh rate all is well. It bounces between 70-150 for me, with some dips below but not many. This is noticeable.

Do you have any clue what's causing the problems? Is it CPU optimization as I expected, or something else? The more details the better, for my own curiosity. Any idea why some people are reporting 500fps on a 7700k/1080 while others may get ~150 on a similarly specced CPU/GPU?

If you are bouncing between 70fps and 150fps, do you have "Wait For Vertical Sync" on? That can cause the game to drop from the monitor's frame rate to half that whenever the CPU dips even slightly below the monitors frame rate.

Really interesting. Seems like Quickshot really knows his business.

It's just fun to see the behind the scenes stuff, I know those guys work hard, but it's fun to see how and at what exactly.

This initiative was driven and exectured by Margot and her team from our Features department. There were constantly cameras around us for the whole Split, even in Copenhagen. Expect more to come about other departments working on the EU LCS soon. Nothing scripted, all real behind the scenes stuff including me looking concentrated (some might say grumpy).

People who frequent the boards are the ones you see rage in your solo queue games. They're immature, mean, and ignorant.

But sadly Riot communicates there more than they communicate here. They're really talking with the wrong crowd.

Edit: I have a natural bias against the boards. Maybe they don't get more discussion from rioters than there. But I just think the discussions that do go down are so low in quality that whatever amount they get still is un-justified and not worth riot's time. If you don't believe me. Just go browse the front page of the boards and then look at how they talk about/respond to Riot.

Interesting to see that sentiment, because boards often complains about reddit in exactly the same way.

You know, every time I see one of their behind the scenes video I feel that something is off with my champion concepts.

I just can't pinpoint what. It's frustrating.

My guess would be that your concepts aren't being beat up by a full team of people with competing ideas and inspirations. Every champ pod has art, design, and narrative embedded, and that's not even including the gameplay teams, art discipline, other champ teams, etc.

Champions evolve and improve a LOT because of (sometime-difficult) collaboration and the push-and-pull of what different people think is cool or right for the character. I bet if you aggressively chased feedback and tried to incorporate it into your ideas, you'd start to find that missing piece.

The lack of order on Riot's desks really unnerves me; i have no idea how they can work with all that stuff over it.

Desk tidiness is quite a spectrum at Riot, from "literally nothing" to "i can't see you behind all those dishes"

I wonder why they only focused on the kit process, there was no art talk or even her voice actress like at all

If you want to know more about art and see part of a VO script we talked about both a bit in the PAX Irelia panel

That's a new champ at red side bottom left in champ loading screen. It's a place holder splash so most likely of what champ we are getting next.

At first I thought it was a Shaco rework they are internally testing but his summoner spells made me disregard that thought.

That would be Swain, in his magnificent placeholder Feeney art.

Does our team have to be advalible all weekend? Or is there an option to only play one day?

You can play one,two or all three days. You can also start on any day but the more games you win the better your rewards will be. Your first day will always be a 4 team bracket. If you win that you'll go to an 8 team bracket. If you lose you can put in tickets for the next day to try the last bracket you lost again.

These are pieces on concept art from a side-scrolling beat-em-up a group of Rioters made during Thunderdome (our internal hackathon). We brought it on the road for the NA finals in Miami.

I don't have a specific one, but in general it's reading the lane/understanding what matchup we're in. So many times my ADC is either ALWAYS AGGRESSIVE IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT I'M VAYNE AND WEAK RIGHT NOW or NEVER AGGRESSIVE THANKS FOR THE SHIELD IT'S REALLY GONNA HELP ME STAND BEHIND YOU DOING NOTHING.

Honestly one of the most challenging parts of being a support main is learning to read the patterns of rando ADCs
