6 months ago, people were telling me you don't need CV on supports. Someone even told me something along the lines of "anything you can do with CV you can do with wards." Now everyone's saying CV is OP.

How does it take 6 months for people to realize how ridiculous global, instantaneous, uncounterable map vision on a 40 sec CD is?

there are still a ton of matches in all elos where there is no cv on one, or both teams... so at least another year or two.

Obviously in arranged 5v5s your going to have a CV on each side, when you have good communication etc.., it's free scans, how is that not awesome.

Well it's getting nerfed apparently so another year or two? This game has barely been out for that long lol
And if you're a good player you should know how op CV is, and people at lower elos are more concerned with themselves than the team - at higher elo you see more people willing to give up one of their slots so the team has a CV, and even then they are usually more concerned with themselves than the team which is why you don't always see it.

The game is new so many good strategies and matchups haven't even been entirely optimized yet. Remember mutas in SC before muta stacking where you heard people call them "UP"? Or 1 base play all day every day? :D
I think all games with so many factors involved need a lot of time for strategies and uses of many different variables to actually be discovered and develop. Especially if it's constantly changing every 2 weeks in a patch.

But the issue is the core of the game. in SC, there was actual strategy involved. there were tangible objectives that had varying degrees of risk/reward. Even on 1 base play, resource management and army management existed. Compositions of armies, timings, positioning, mobility, etc. in LoL, there are no such considerations. Gold farmed and XP are such that they only go up, so are pretty much permanent income. positioning and timing are getting nerfed out of the game (ward spam, lack of tools to push before you're all farmed up) composition is getting nerfed out (you can't harass or starve the other team to death, so all you build for is one big fight)

The only meaningful 'resource' is nashor buff, evidenced by the way current games play out.

in strategy games as well, the bigger you are, the easier it is to hurt you. more bases = more defenses needed. in lol, the bigger you are, the harder it is to hurt you, cause there's only one real resource. Baron steal or bust. ward it up and you have free reign. the weaker guy has to defend all 3 lanes/inhibs. the stronger guy generally only has to defend baron.

I kinda went off on a tangent, but what I'm getting at is that LoL in general is too close to a static RPG and not close enough to a strategy game. I honestly believe that's the core of so many of its problems.

Are you a low elo player tired of feeling like you can never get the right pick to carry your team to victory (like me?)

Want to carry, but also not need a solo lane? (since no one ever gives you solo lane even if you are first pick and you pick a solo lane champ)

I have found a solution: play poppy!

In low elo everyone bans tanks and builds pure offense. Why not take poppy who has built in tankiness with her passive and can blow up squishies? Not to mention she doesn't even need a solo lane with the strength of gp5 items.

Nothing is worse than losing a won game because on idiot throws it away. Happened multiple times to me this week, and is it any wonder why people play for themselves, when a random idiot can throw it all down the drain. The tank not tanking, one person not grouping, I'm glad season one is ending because there are just idiots all the way up to 2000 elo, and it's a coin flip between getting competent players and complete morons.

Elo reset removes the inflation. 1200's should be at 1200, not 1500. Just like Choax should be at 900 elo.

Okay, and there will be new people who don't belong in their elo who get carried up again anyways.
Also, chaox is not a 900 elo player.
The way I see it, elo hard reset is just going to create a frenzied hell for the first few months until everything just goes back to the way it was before.

obv Chaox is a 900 elo player but his main and smurf are 2k+ due to elo inflation.

lol I love Bob's stream. Awesome music, and he's hilarious.

"Just got to play with Sivir's spell shield."
Bob: "Spell shield....is that what they call it now?"
