How have we strayed so far from the truth and comfort of Tons Of Damage?

Summoners Showcase is still a thing! Swimbananas hosts it on Riot Report every first Tuesday of the month on RiotGames Twitch.
EDIT: It still goes on Youtube but we have different channels for things now. Here is an episode we did to give you an idea of what Riot Report is all about. Last EP of 2019- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL9ODP58Ylw
Well, I can't say that I vote along those same lines but I appreciate the explanation. Thanks for responding!
For sure, I hope you and your family are well in all the chaos. Enjoy playoffs!~
Any particular reasoning for Froggen and aphromoo for 2nd team? You're literally the only person who voted for them anywhere.
Absolutely. I had to make changes at the end of my ballet and I missed that Aphro should be Ignar. Huhi is correct. I was incredibly impressed with his play and be it recency bias huhi is someone Id put over others on the 3rd all pro cause I weigh (performing highly when your team needs you, what overall effect did you have on the team and wins, and stats comparison to separate any head to heads)
*Froggen choice- editing this in. I love Jizzuke but his tendency to ham it up in plays makes me want a more focused mid like Froggen. Large unique champion pool, plays well under pressure and put up decent stats while compeletely winning a few games for his team this split. I also chose to not go Bjerg anywhere because I like the team dynamic these two create much more. Stats for mid still came into play but team synergy and playstyle is a big weight for me in mid. Part of me still waffles on switching poe and froggen, this sh*t is tough lol
There is no doubt I favor diffe...

Super sorry you don't think last years MVP had a lot to do with EG getting a good position this split. Everyone on C9 was amazing... This was my all-pro team, not yours, not sure how people don't understand this. I'm not here to make unanimous votes for players unless I feel it so.
Rivington sounds completely dead inside
It is concerning that you define laughing and happiness as dead inside. Be well friend.
It is true, you can't cast ULT at level %
Nice rant, it's not pre-recorded. Have a nice day.
Thanks /u/RiotXenogenic sorry to make more work for ya! :D Happy 10 everyone!
Riot could hire someone to read all of their lore in form of audiobooks. Would sell sooo well, but well Riot isn't really known for making most out of its material unfortunately
Thinking emoji...I will poke a few people about this~
The caster's do a fine job casting for fans, but there is a gap in information between pros and casters in terms of what's actually happening in the game. Solutions to fix the gap so cast could better represent pros:
- Visit teams and observe scrims
- Listen in on comms in champ select or the game
- Survey players weekly about team strength to have a better idea going into predictions what is happening
This is not a tl;dr, just the suggestions I make at the end that are actionable.
EDIT:
Here is a SHORT TL;DW version of the same video. I made the long one unlisted and it's now a link in the description of this much shorter vlog. Please get this info to everybody in this post somehow:
SHORT VERSION HOW TO FIX LCS casting & analysis https://youtu.be/kWsYAKDd8oo
Weldon, awesome post and thanks for taking the time to put together some ideas. Here are a few things to consider from our end. -replying to actionable items-
Comms and champ select are off limits for a lot of things. We don't reveal strategies or what the teams talk about during this time unless it's a funny mic check. If you are down with us using all CLG comms in the future as information about the team that would be sick~
Visiting teams and observing scrims is something we have been trying to do for a while. I recently went to FlyQuest and Dash to Counter Logic Gaming's Facility. It seems that a lot of the teams prefer to not have the casters reviewing scrims and such. Just an opinion there, it's awesome you don't mind and would love to utilize that moving forward~
Surveying players weekly would be be interesting and time consuming on both ends. I can't say I agree that it's less work by us in preparation xD. Sourcing meaningful info from 50+ messages ...
Read moreThe difference is that while both calls might sound weird for people without prior knowledge, only one sounds wrong.
I personally got the inside the park reference, because baseball is my third favorite sport to watch, but I can certainly empathize with people finding it obscure.
Anyway, you do have to realize that we're nitpicking this one particular thing because your casting was overwhelmingly good this week as a whole. Sort of a combination between the actor-observer fallacy and survivorship bias (to use obscure references of my own XD).
For sure, please dont take this as well x is x and it's ok by those standards. Sorry about that. I was more so saying it's not something that we commonly have time to think of on the fly. Thanks for the comments also, casting felt great this week. Also enjoying throwin down with Kobe.
Kinda hard for non-NA, non-Japan audiences to understand baseball references is the thing.
And that's something that happens in casting. We cant gate our calls off of everything people may or may not know.
Im sure hardly anyone got the "how many licks does it take to kill a champion" by flowers. That's a tootsie lolipop reference. \o/
"And with that house dive, Damonte's saying 'You're not welcome here'"
Odd pentakill call when it was only a triple, but this whole day has been exciting Riv casts
Inside the park penta was the call. He got the double kill just before. Like inside the park home run.

Mental mistake about irelias ult has nothing to do with game knowledge. My knowledge is just fine or I wouldn't have a job, people confuse that with verbal mistakes. \o/
How many times does riv need to cast an irelia game to know her ult doesn't disarm anymore?
This was just a dumb mental mistake, I basically just wanted to say hitting the slow but that didn't happen at all. My brain kept inserting disarm and it was wrong fo sho.
Unpopular opinion :
Cilantro is overrated
Cilantro is like eating the sea shell soap in that little dish on the bathroom counter at grandma's house. Wouldn't know tho >_>
I'm excited to get you all sorted >:D
