What's the difference? and where do you find the number for active accounts from? Every sites I read only list active users which is 32M. I can't find the number for active accounts. | ||

I can't find the number for active accounts. Riot themselves have only stated "active accounts" and saying they have X million users per day. the difference between them is: riot determines an account is no longer active once a year during the name purge. So if you are active within that time period you are an active account. 32mil active accounts aren't 1:1 with active users, because a user can have multiple accounts. i know the majority of the TL LoL section have 2+ accounts, most streamers have 2+ accounts and tons and tons of players make new accounts every so often especially if they play ranked. SO the real number of active users for LoL is realistically between 16mil and 32 mil. entirely dependent on how many accounts on average a player has. it would not shock me at all to find out the average user has 2 accounts. | ||

As of the end of last year, the number's probably grown since then. It's monthly active players, which probably means monthly active accounts because Riot presumably can't actually distinguish unique users by whatever means they're using to get this metric. EDIT: Xizor, the figure is *monthly* active accounts. 70 million is the figure of "total registered names" which presumably means all accounts that weren't removed in the name purge. Peak concurrent players is probably the most reliable metric to compare that's resilient to things like smurfing, so I don't even know why people cite active accounts or whatever. | ||

Dude, stop being a party pooper, let Xizor explain it for us. I want to see how many traps he's gonna step on until he recognize that it's sarcasm. Seriously though, I cringe everytime I see that graph. How the hell they find out about their player's education?? | ||

Probably by polling users and extrapolating from their poll results? You didn't think they'd somehow find out *every* user's level of education did you? | ||

I don't think Valve ever said that they would keep the drop mechanic from Pennants but stop counting stacks, and stealth nerfing them would make little sense, besides being a shitty move. I wouldn't be surprised if multiple compediums also gave better odds, but I have no idea if Valve ever explained in detail what multiple compendiums really do. | ||
