Why are people calling MF the highest damage ranged carry? Sivir, Twitch, Kog, Vayne, and Corki all do arguably (or unarguably) more damage.

One question, I've watched most the season 1 qualifier games, and I haven't seen Shen being used or banned. Is he really bad now?

Not sure if serious.....

MF does more damage than all of them, except maybe vayne at this point because vayne is op as fuck. And vayne was banned in most games in the tourny that I watched, the one she wasn't dyrus of all people raped with her lol.

I don't think you've ever done 1v1 vs corki as MF. MF wins. Every time. Unless the MF is bad.

It was Regi offering $10k for someone to wipe the tears from hotshotgg's face. First post was Regi saying "Gotta go big, bro."

Most. Epic Thing. Ever.



If you can pick the highest damage dealing ranged carry while sufficiently protecting her with your comp vs their comp, why wouldn't you? ;O


Also, caller is not such a bad player, although a mega troll, so really you can't insult his abilities at this game because he at least has a decent amount of game knowledge. When you play with higher ELO you *USUALLY* tend to learn how to play the game better.
Skikyo on the other hand is actually serious about a lot of his 1300 elo games, similar to Jazriel.
This explains enough for me.

Caller still managed to get to 1700 playing triforce morde before giving up and letting #s smurf all day.

Shikyo can't break 1400, complains all the time about it, then turns around and says "Oh hey, take this advice! It's from me, I'm a trusted source."

When I give advice it's either 1. being told to me by a 2k+ elo player or 2. me reading / seeing it done by a 2k+ player, my advice isn't my own advice.

That and I'm 1450 <.< get your facts straight

also that's 1700 US elo

So me being 1700 EU, makes me about 2k US right? Suck on that Hotshots and jijis, you will be below me when I hit 1750.

hi just to prove you wrong

Here's a t-test I ran. These are players around 1450 elo, including you, Shikyo. I took 15 players from both US and EU players at 15175-15190. I then calculated their win percentages, which came out to 0.635792853 for US and 0.569636062 for EU.

Then, assuming equal variance (due to the ELO system) I ran a 2 sample independent t-test and came up with a t-value of 0.983919114. At a .25 level of significance, the model concludes (two sided) that there is a difference between the US win rate and the EU win rate at the same ELO.

Namely, the US has a higher winrate than the EU at the same ELO.

Your argument is that EU players at 1450 elo are equivalent to US players at 1700 elo. In fact, statistics show that US players at 1450 elo are better than EU players at 1450 elo.

In the name of guitarasaurus, I hope that me running this statistics test (which is totally not rigorous but is still rigorous enough compared to the little you have had to offer the LoL community-which is to say, nothing.) will prove you wrong once and for all.
