That company is the biggest internet company in china, they already had a minority stake in Riot, they just now have a 50-60% stake (don't know the exact number)

What this means is that a successful company is now giving tons of money to the Riot developers to do their thing. They were already hiring people left and right, but now they can probably offer even higher salaries to get the really good people.

Can people stop this please? We're all rational people. Your skill level RIGHT NOW is the number that shows up on your profile. The skill level YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE is a goal to obtain, not what you are right now.

If this wasn't a team game I would agree with you.

Not really, just because it is a team game people use games where they did well and allies did bad as excuses for their reasonings but NEVER look at these games where they were bad or mediocore (and i'm pretty sure they play mediocore in at least 50% of their games - aka they are at the elo they should be).

BTW - Anyone saw Jiji's stream atm? God, this game was SO amazing. They lost mid inhi and most towers while enemies had only outer towers down and took like 2 barons? And yet Jiji won his team the game, he was like 17/3 while every other player in his team was negative. Does this guy complain about elo hell? No, he carries his bad teammates

Look, I didn't say that people don't over-estimate their abilities or talk themselves up. BUT, you have to be taking some elitest jack off juice to think that Elo in a game which puts you with 4 other players could accurately measure individual skill. I'm not saying it is always grossly off but to say that someone's skill level is all of a sudden 200 points below their average because of a dive simply because he had a round of bad luck or was frustrated and kept playing is dumb.

Uhm i didn't say anything like that. I absolutely agree with what you said, you can't judge someone's skill by a single event. This doesn't change the fact that you CAN'T say "I think my skill level is 1750 elo but i'm stuck playing with retards"... If your skill level IS 1750 elo you will get there, you know why? Because the more games you play the lesser the influence of luck is on your elo.

Yeah, I agree with that. I think I just read your post directly after Ghen's and confused what you were saying a bit.

On another note, I think people get stuck on Elo a lot for it being a team game. IMO, ranked 5v5 teams is where it should be at and the team should be the one holding the rating, not the individual (think WoW arena teams). For a team game, they put so much emphasis on the individual.

speaking of individual vs. team stats, for a good laugh, check out Azen's Lux stats on both accounts:

ROFL, nice!

Is there a place I can look at LoL stats online besides in the client? I'm at work so I can't exactly just open up the game and look.

I'm really hoping that tree man is a good tank and they are just listing him as support because he does that too.

not that I know of. the only reason I didn't just post the stats is because I'm also at work and can't just launch the client.

the tl;dr on it is that he's got something unbelievably retarded like 10:1 KDA on both accounts with Lux but his W/L is < 50% on both of them, lol. This is with over 100 Lux games on each account too, lol.

Wow lol. I'll have to go and take a look at them later. Will be interesting to see how many K:A he has.

Hah, I got 17:1 KDA on morg. And it only took me one game to get there!

Anyways, I don't think it would be hard to get 10:1 with Lux; stand behind, spam spells, recieve assists, run away. The uselessness that is implied by this playstyle leads to <50% W/L.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

After facing his and many other Lux players I gotta agree with spines there. The one redeeming quality of having a Lux is it bolsters your late game since Lux turns into an annoying version of Anivia where you can't push v the other team cause Lux 1 shots the wave. I find it hard to believe people main her, running from every fight sounds super fun.

yea, I'm not saying that his lux is good or something, quite the opposite actually, I just find it really hilarious because his individual stats are so WTFBBQUNBEREVABRE!!! and then you look at W/L and are like... "oh... lol"

It's a cool tool. I just wish the official forums weren't full of morons using it as an excuse to rage at Riot.
