That's so unfair. EVERYONE who does something will be criticized by SOMEONE. It's your own fault for only looking at the negative responses and blatantly ignoring the positive. What you're demanding is for NO ONE to EVER say a SINGLE bad thing about ANYONE ever and that's just obscene.

It is not unfair for creators to ask not to be abused online.

It is unfair to demand that creators listen to and engage with their audience while taking their abuse in stride.

There's a clear distinction between genuinely constructive feedback (even if it comes from a place of passion) and vitriolic abuse. This should not be a radical or crazy idea.

I was indeed referring to the big five personality model. And yeah, there is no shame in admitting that social media does not mesh well with who you are as a person. It should not be considered a personal flaw on the side of the person but neither should it be considered a flaw of social media and I see both of those sentiments expressed far too often.

I do want to add though that while it's rare that people can't be taught strategies to overcome their specific struggles, I also think what we are seeing is that the people being more connected than ever through social media and that it isn't necessarily a good thing. I don't think it's a good idea that now the people creating products essentially now need to be taught the toolkit that previously was taught to the people interfacing with the public, I would much prefer it if everyone was expected to specialize in a few select areas instead of everyone becoming generalists.

I believe that companies works better if th...

Riot isn't most companies, let's keep it that way.

I can certainly appreciate the argument you make. It sounds good in theory.

But Rioters directly engaging with players about their area of expertise or the thing they're making is magical. We shouldn't want a world where the only Rioters who speak to players are community moderators. Despite what some people say about us, Rioters hate the thought of engagement strictly for PR management. It's gross and disingenuous.

I've worked in a place like that. Requiring process or not being able to engage customers to learn more about their feedback was frustrating. Passion for listening and engaging is one of the reasons I came to Riot and undoubtedly why others see Riot as a place they can create awesome things for fellow players.

Rioters should want to feel what players are feeling. We want to share in their pain and it doesn't always come through pre-processed. But sharing in pain is not th...

I guarantee even digitally stone-faced Rioters feel burned out after sorting the character attacks from the useful, thoughtful feedback. Feeling nothing is not the norm.

We could gather sufficient feedback on products through surveys and player labs. We don't need to talk to communities online to be able to do our jobs.

Rioters choose to do so because it feels like the right thing to do. It helps players feel listened to, it helps them feel that we give a shit, and every now and then you get a gem of feedback that we've actually not heard or thought of already that levels up a product.

We care about how players feel, that's our curse. But we're people too and for some Rioters who literally break themselves for the community it's hard to feel like no o...

I knew Stellari was leaving, I had no idea why. It's f*cking heartbreaking, the sh*t these people get sent knowing how much they actually care about players. I mean holy sh*t.

Stellari's last message rings true for most people in this position:

"Passionate people care. It's hard to put everything into something and not care, so most devs just stay off reddit/twitter because otherwise it's just d...

I don't really have an opinion on the skin, all I'll say is that I don't expect nor want people to censor themselves and their opinions/feelings on a skin just because this former rioter wasn't able to handle the criticism. If people don't like something the people who made those things should know. If those people can't handle it and choose to take it personally then they're working in the wrong industry.

That's what makes riot sapmagic the best rioter of all time. Dude worked so hard on the positional ranked system and everyone hated it. He listened to feedback and made changes and everyone still hated it. So he pulled it back and scrapped all his work. Didn't take it personal, just understood that he was wrong and moved on.

Before today I didn't know who this stellari person was but they made decisions and the decisions were not popular. Tough. On to the next project. Learn from sapmagic rioters.

Umm... Cait had mortal reminder and BotRK and Aatrox had BC and executioner's.

Grievous wounds doesn't stack, so that healing was with grievous wounds applied. If the target already has GW applied, then LDR does more damage to that target. Not sure why are you trying to act like that healing was without GW...

Yes, grievous wounds is counterplay to healing, but it's not enough. You go grievous wounds pretty much every game nowadays and there is still so much insane healing.

I did say you see it doing work in the 2nd half of the clip, when cait gets involved. I'm happy she's applying Grievous!

FPS capped at 60 with the lowest settings.Yet, even in laning phase it sometimes stutters to 10-15 for no apparent reason idk.

Did you notice this same issue last patch (9.22) or just the most recent? (9.23) ?

Comment

We've been looking for the source of this problem and right now it appears that it's related to programs that use an overlay (not one specific program) - as others have noted it may help to close any programs you have running that use overlay while we continue to try and fix the issue. Sorry I don't have more concrete info to share, this bug is proving hard to track down.

You're basically saying it doesn't matter how you do something as long as you win. I understand that feels right, but in general you should want a faker (maximizing mechanics, deep understanding of champions, knowing how much damage you can take or deal out perfectly) over a Doinb.

All that aside though, the worst I've heard LS say about Doinb is that he's mechanically under par.

Faker the guy who basically solo lost games in Worlds semifinals? Nah, gimme Doinb any day of the week.

Ok, let's break this down a little bit, since I looked up this game.

Cho'Gath had 20 kills at this point in the game. He had:

  • Cinderhulk
  • Spirit Visage (great purchase, considering he had 3 oceans (15% of missing health healed every 5s) and a potential Ocean Soul coming up
  • Thornmail
  • Righteous Glory
  • Gargoyle Stoneplate
  • Warmorgs (he didn't have boots at game end) - Elixir of Iron.

This is the perfect build for what Cho's going for this game. He had 24 stacks of ult, too.

Now, in the video we see Xerath plinking away at him, doing essentially nothing. There's no grievous wounds applied, because for some unknown reason, Xerath didn't purchase Morellonomicon for Grievous wounds.

Against this team, which is fairly tanky and features Darius and Renekton, Grievous wounds is essential.

Only 2 champs on Cait's team took Grievous, and you can see it's effect on Cho and Co in the 2nd p...

the NA server? sure, but that's not saying much

Hauntzer was a top half top laner last split and they have a bunch of young, hungry players (and Keith) on top of that.

FBI is very talented, Closer is presumably at least individually strong (but I have no idea) and Greyson is experienced and this is his best LCS shot probably ever.

So they have ...

Hauntzer - Closer - Goldenglue - FBI - Keith ?

Well that seems like a very budget roster.

Presumably cheap and IMO filled with a lot of talent.

Getting RESULTS with this roster might be tricky with so many variables but the talent is there to have a good split them reevaluate.

Personally, I like this but only time will tell.

Hey, 2M Syndra otp here.

Syndra's W IS bugged regarding picking up low hp minions with her W. Doesn't matter if you have infernal soul or not. It kills the minion, gives the gold but your ability is completely gone.

Ohhh, right. That's really odd. Thanks for letting me know.

Hmmm... True! Was just thinking about Tibbers etc. It's probably not that.

Nothing will turn it around. Unless enemy team starts trolling and lets you catch up on levels and you need to have a hard engage champ in you team to force a fight.

Never under estimate the enemy team's ability to throw the game (same goes for SR).

Riot bad. All I'm saying is every champion buys some kind of boots, so obviously that needs to be nerfed.

Cass doesn't. CHECKMATE REDDIT. Balance confirmed.
