Oh, the word is torpedo. The forums censor the 'pedo' bit and I could not for the life of me guess what the word 'tor%%%%' was supposed to be.
Lol wtf
Read moreI personally think you're doing fine. The issue with the broadcast as a whole is, you need multiple people that have different tiers of analysis.
Imo the ideal setup would be to have a low level analyst, that discusses the overarching pace of the game, so that the more laymen viewer can understand what's going on.
Then you would have the mid tier analyst, which is your wheelhouse, you know a lot about the game, more than 99% of the viewers and can approach the largest chunk of the audience with your analysis.
These two are present in LEC with people like you and Drakos, however what the LEC broadcast is lacking is the high tier analyst. The person who's focus is to go insanely in depth, professional level knowledge. Someone who could tell you the significance between placing a ward at 3:10 as opposed to 3:12, someone who can criticize a player for building the longsword in his phage before ruby crystal at a certain level because they understand the matchup...
This is a well thought out response and I respect it a lot. Thanks for your input, it's extremely valuable

I mean I get that. But why put dates there in the first place when I gotta riddle what pm 26/6 could possibly mean for me as an eu player. Just post that the mode will come in the 1-4 days after the patch hits and there is less confusion about what time one can expect the mode..
In principal I’d prefer us to be as transparent as possible, which here means revealing dates but not hours
Putting the s in League of Legends
lol not bad
This is just such an incredibly weird way of putting a release date out there..
In this case we’re being vague on purpose so everyone doesn’t torpedo the queue all at the same time.
Not tryna crash.
This guy is pretty smart
Idk why we have to travel across the ocean to play against washed up eu players when we could get better practice staying in the LEC :/
Lmao G2 vs TL was closer than this
I love everything about this. Whoever decided to go with this old school style is a genius.
Hijacking a bit just to clarify who did what:
One of the LEC content producers (Dennis) made the pitch, including the 90's theme.
I wrote all of my lines with a bit of help from the team here and there.
Flowers wrote his lines with some assistance from the broadcast writer in NA. (Elias)
Overall a huge EU/NA collaboration. Glad people are enjoying it.
Hi Vedius, you and Medic are the best things(?) to happen to the LEC in the last 2 years, please continue being awesome at your job :D one day I hope to travel to the LEC to watch you guys casting live!
It was difficult for me at first to adjust to the caster changes in both EU and NA as I had lots of nostalgia for Krepo/Deficio/Jatt but now that both regions have stepped up the broadcast quality significantly it feels like a new era of esports and I have settled into it quite nicely :D the kia casters ad that you guys did (the one where you're at the airport) really resonated with me on how I felt about LEC but I feel excited for the future rather than longing for the past. The whole broadcast team at LEC has enormous talent and I feel like any of the growing pains people have are just that and will go away with time. Just stay open to criticism, and have a thick skull to deflect the pointless comments, you guys will figure it out :D
I appreciate the comment! We'll keep working hard and doing our best <3
Read moreNah, I think you're absolutely right and I'd probably recommend you and the other casters not take anything too seriously you read on here. Thinking back to why I loved Deficio so much it's hard for me to recall anything other than loving his accent haha.
Other than having great personalities I think another big part of it is it's easy to have a couple small mistakes and/or undesirable quirks and near permanently be labeled as a lacking caster. Additionally if the replacement caster isn't as loved as the one being replaced, the complaints will naturally spread out to the entire team even if most people only have a grievance with that one person.
FWIW I think your casting is great and it's worth mentioning that of the several hundred thousands who watch LEC probably 99% of them don't have any problems with the level of analysis. I appreciate yours and Quickshots attempts to get good feedback on here, but I think you're probably better of just tuning out the noise. ...
I still think that if enough people complain, even if only just a small percentage, it's an opportunity for growth. I may never be what deficio was, but I'd love to come close to as many fans as possible. So I'll keep working towards that!
Thanks for your replies and your comments. It was insightful and helpful!
Imo just reading through these comments it almost seems like what makes a good analyst in most people's minds in someone who is not afraid to disagree and is able to voice their strong opinions, which is a characteristic I think many of the people being mentioned in this thread as "real analysts" have. I don't necessarily agree but I have to admit that it does make the broadcast more interesting when there is a sense of debate going around.
Also I feel as if the "top" analysts look at the game from a more deeper perspective. For example something like G2 has a great early game or Splyce likes to play for late is pretty obvious to anyone who watches. But something like G2 struggles early when they don't have Mikyx on an aggressive pick to get bot lane ahead early. That's probably not the best example since I'm obviously not an analyst myself but I hope you get what I'm going for lol.
And your statement is ultimately where the challenge lies. We on the broadcast often voice strong opinions and are not afraid to voice critical ones, you only have to listen to a vitality intro for something like that, but aside from that few people know what in-depth is. It's like people shout that they know they want something, you feel like you give it to them, then they shout back "No that's not it" and you just keep trying until it sticks.
Honestly I think fans on reddit just miss deficio and krepo, but equate their analysis to the thing missing rather than their amazing personalities. Don't get me wrong, they were great analysts, but I feel like more people will remember that time deficio got his butt slapped over the last thing deficio taught them about league. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get anyway.
I don't think the comedic skits are an issue. People just like to hate on "cringey" stuff because they don't have the balls to find it funny.
When it comes to your casting, as I mentioned above, I thing you are doing a great job when it comes to game knowledge, just try to tune down the bias a little bit imo...
Ah bias, a classic given to all casters. I can promise you that I have no bias for any team. Internationally, I naturally always want Europe to do well. However domestically, I do not care who wins. Happy to be shown any evidence you have of my apparent bias.
Not OP and not necessarily to do with that comment, but my biggest problem with enjoying LEC right now is everything is dialed to 100 the entire time. I get that casters want to keep an audience excited and engaged but League ebbs and flows and the cast should too.
Do you have any examples where this is the case? I feel quite strongly that my colleagues only turn it up to 100 when the situation deserves it however I'm very open to being wrong here.
Any chance we'll be seeing some kind of YourShop reroll that players can use once in case they get bad skin choices ?
Highly unlikely.
Hello! I am late but I have a idea. I don't think the event prestige skins should be obtainable with Prestige points because some people spend a lot of time grinding for the skins, when prestige points didn't exist back then. Obtaining prestige points is a little easier, but more expensive. People can just get more prestige points from loot throughout the year. However, I think the better way to bring back the event prestige skins by making players grind for tokens with the event pass, like what original owners of the prestige skins did. The event pass should costs the same as the original and players should earn the same amount of tokens. They should also have the same amount of time to grind. It would be nice for people who did not have time to grind because of work, school, or if they have kids to take care of. By doing this way, the original owners don't feel like spend too much time and money and others have a second chance of getting the skins. Thanks if you read through my i...
I've heard this one a few times and I do like it.
