This is actually not as bright as intended. It's meant to make your champion invisible.

Memory budget? I am curious, how does it work? Every champ (or skin) has a limit of the amount of memory it requires? How does that work with champs with multiple forms (Kayn), multiple objects (Annie + Bear) or who are complex (Vex + Shadow). Does it counts traps and skills (Azir army, Cait traps, Teemo Shoorms)?

Honestly I am not the most qualified to give you an ultra-detailed answer, but in general, we require that all champs / skins come in under a certain amount of memory to ensure that we can hit our min spec reliably and keep the game running optimally for as many players as possible.

wow if its not a bug thats a pretty big scam if i have to say

Circling back on this post - this VFX was temporarily removed due to some last minute issues we saw with our memory budget on this skin. We should be re-adding it soon now that we've had a chance to optimize it a little more and get it on target.

That history of Cloud9 segment was so well done. I've followed C9 and they've been my favorite team since 2014. So many great memories watching this team, excited for today.

Thank you so much! Graphics team did an amazing job, script and delivery from Azael was spot on. Really happy with this segment, felt it set the stage for C9 and highlighted their history at Worlds.

Super cool and well done thorough analysis! I very much appreciate you making this post!

Hey OP!

in league I am like silver and I am missing core aspects of the game, anyone else switch from dota?

This isn't so bad. Silver is average at the game. Since you've only recently just started playing again, that's really not bad, especially when you consider a good chunk of players never make it to silver.

I don't know a whole lot about DoTA2 but my recommendation would be that you go into each game with a defined goal. I'm a mid laner so I can only advice there, but usually I would aim for something like "hit X cs per minute", "don't die to a gank", and then focus most of my effort on that. I'm sure it's the same in DoTA2 but in order to climb you don't need to be popping off every game, you just need to be consistent.

If you're not already familiar with all of the champions, I'd also recommend looking up the champions you'll be up against on something like lolwiki during champion select, and paying close at...

That's fair, low elo players tend to be unpredictable and just aram, but i still think it's important to know your macro because you can create huge gold and experience differences through it when they aram and build leads that can make objectives nearly impossible to take for the enemy team, then again your own teammates probably won't listen though so you'll have to 1v9 with the leads you create

Macro is a great way to accrue leads but unless you have the knowledge to execute on that macro (which involves execution, especially if you are not at an advantage already), it's less reliable in the ranks OP will be at to begin with than just raw mechanical skill. In many cases, players simply don't know how much damage they deal or can take and that alone will win you a lane, and a 1/0 lead is devastating when applied with, again, the appropriate execution.

You don't need complicated macro play to climb at all, and you certainly don't need to worry about it much beyond "where was the jungler last seen?" for a very long time

Why do you think smurfs can keep 90% winrates in low elo, do you think it's because of their execution or because they know how the game works? I'm saying that he should learn macro over execution and once he has good macro he can focus on execution, since he'll be learning execution along the way

On the account I made in NA I went from unranked to platinum with zero losses as a mid lane player playing Ryze back when he was considered weak; none of that was due to macro play (I suck at macro), it really was just down to execution in lane. I suppose if you're a support or a jungler then it may be more about macro, but as a mid or top you can solo win just by outplaying your opponent and forcing multiple people top or mid lane without even looking at macro; people will naturally come to try to shut you down, and if you play well you'll just kill them our waste their time (or both).

Not that this is how you should play, but this is also a very common reason why one trick ponies tend to climb to a plateau around plat or low diamond and stay there, because that is when macro does start to matter. You could argue that perhaps I had internalised macro knowledge that enabled me to win vs low elo players, but I can tell you with absolute confidence ...

I just really liked playing Orianna and Zyra. I've never really considered myself a main of a particular main, just a main of specific champions I enjoy, which is why I also (much to the chagrin of my adc) sometimes play support (Rakan, Pyke) and top (Sett)

That's some shitty ass and shallow opinion coming from a lead ngl. Can't say I expected to hear something smart since you've done absolutely horrible job on the behavioral system so far. Balance team is controversial topic because some agree and some disagree with the balancing direction game is taking, but you my man and your team are the main reason game is at such shitty state and has been for last couple of seasons. If that doesn't scream RECONSIDER YOUR DAMN OPPINIONS I don't know what does. What makes you feel so confident that you are doing the right thing when game never seen as much toxicity, while nothing firm is being done on the topic. My all chat is already disabled any match and it was never a problem, what is a problem however is the team chat that is by far most toxic place, if you completely disable it you can't communicate with the team about important calls, but if you don't disable it you risk getting insanely tilted because of the team that constantly trash tal...

Having come from WoW myself when I started, I also wanted a healer archetype champion. Sona was the one that felt right for me. I tried Soraka but I didn't understand how to play her at the time. Sona is definitely a solid entry champion who is easy to play and buffs and heals her allies.

Hey! Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I was unsure about the wording. Helped means "ganked by his teammates" and I used ganked as "ganked by the opposite team".

So basically the amount of time that his team invested in him vs. the amount of time invested in his rival in lane.

Got it. Thanks!

This is awesome, thanks!

Could you clarify what "Helped" and "Ganked" mean? The wording feels ambiguous to me.
