Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

DotA 2 system is probably a lot easier, considering all those stats are stored for Replays anyway.

Nah, I originally had BoT, Satanic, BkB, MkB, Abyssal Blade and Manta. Ended up selling Abyssal, Satanic, and mkb. I know not the best choices to get rid of but it got to the point where I stopped caring lol. Oh and I did end up dying but had enough for buyback and Tp'd back, getting my rapiers back.

It was one of those matches where even though you win, it felt like the worst match ever.

the original implementation was to simply make a "dummy" weaver that's invisible and is a clone of the current weaver 5 seconds ago in terms of location and hp/mana

That's interesting, so it means that the game is constantly creating and destroying dummy weavers?

http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/18/6006727/riot-games-league-of-legends-valve-dota-prize-pool-international -- "Likewise, a Riot representative tells Polygon the company is not interested in maintaining a large annual prize pool by "begging" its community for an aspect of the game that it has taken responsibility for. Valve opened sales of the official digital program for the International 2014 championships in May for $10, where $2.50 of every sale contributes to the prize pool. Funds from its sale grew the tournament's pot of $1.6 million set by Valve to $4 million within a week."

I need a directly quote from Riot for that. Polygon has a habit of embellishing a bit.

Just riot taking it's chance to shit on valve again while valve remains neutral as ever.
Nothing out of the ordinary. Assuming that's what riot actually said, which wouldn't surprise me if it was.

But yup, giving people virtual goodie-bags while supporting your tournament is now begging. :^)
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

From the report, it looks like Riot was directly asked about the 10 million prize pool and responded. The quote "begging" is not shown in any context and the fact that she doesn't link the interview makes me think that its just click bait.

That doesn't make it less click bait. The bias and need for ad dollars is stronk.

Although I would love to merely accept that as evidence enough, the situation still stands that there is no given context, full quote, or link to an interview. What we have is the use of begging on its own an supposed to interpret that as trash-talking towards Valve. Now, I would not put it pass Riot to pull such an act. Hell, it would not surprise be in the least bit. But it comes off as rather lazy and unprofessional.

If it was click-bait, the title would just use that as a direct-quote. The current title is somewhat click-bait oriented, I agree.
Just seems odd to quote "begging" specifically and that would pass through Riot's internal alarms, especially when they have direct contact with her.

In any case, I quoted it directly so you guys dont gotta click
