Much of an amateur scene right now or is it mostly large tournaments that dominate the community? *edit* also I have heard from some friends and on bnet forums that there is a huge gap between invite teams and the rest of the community (i.e lack of an open bracket style entry level) | ||

On EU there is no such thing as huge gap. I.E. fnatic was defeated by SK which was defeated by Empire which was defeated by MYM which was defeated by our guys from TL. (all in a week period) Does that mean TL.EU is as strong as fnatic or SK? :D Nah. last Go4LoL TL was defeated by some unknown low tier scrubs. | ||

I was less referring to a skill gap and more the ability for new players/teams to emerge and receive recognition. Not that it will likely effect me any time soon I am really just curious for curiosity's sake. | ||

Hell, CRS started as just being UNR, and gained recognition by winning Go4LoLs and putting up strong ESL Premier League performances. Events like IPL and MLG have been invite-only because the organizations involved are just testing the water with regard to competitive LoL. It's not likely to remain that way. | ||

So you figure LoL is going to have a breakout with these events and become a mainstay in its own right? I was excited to see it at MLG/IPL would love to see more of it/more teams. | ||

"hurr durr why u guys focus tank" What people also forget is that if everyone actually focusses the tank he'll drop dead and the fight will be 4v5 with your tanky still alive. People always get angry when you try to pick off something tanky when it's all alone, but this often wins you the fight, as long as you don't focus the tanky when more important targets are vulnerable. | ||

This is assuming that he is going to initiate and that a real teamfight will begin in the next 3 seconds. Should the AP just save his skills even if he could disable the tank and have the team burst it down in 2 seconds, but wasting most cooldowns (but hopefully no ults) in the process? You auto attack him. | ||

That depends on the how out of position he is, and whether those spells will be off CD again by the time they're needed, and if the tank is actually going to die. Small-medium CDs are generally gonna be fine if you're fighting a 5v4 subsequently, and even one of your long CDs can be worth it if he *actually dies*. The worst possible scenario (and one that unfortunately is gonna happen a lot on solo queue) is where half the team blows their CDs, and half don't, so you're missing important spells AND the tank isn't out of the fight. | ||

I hate this so much, especially when they just dont do anything because OMG DONT FOCUS THE TANK or they run past him and end up in a 1v4 and die because they aren't a tank themselves. | ||

That goes without saying but I'm asking as to whether it is worth blowing disables on an initiator and having the team follow up with spells to burst him down. I guess it all depends on the context and actually, I think that most cases of "don't focus the tank" whining just comes down to lack of communication between solo Q players rather than the supposed fact that bursting a tank down is bad 100% of the time. | ||

The game should be designed so you have to make choices about when you use your mana, if you are spamming spells in lane then go for a fight it makes sense you shouldn't have full mana. There's a huge difference in being able to rarely use spells and having to actually thinking about your mana usage. Blue buff pretty clearly illustrates crappy design imo, mid lane starts off as a proper lane but then becomes a lane where both champs instantly jib their creep wave this infinite mana over and over again. My main problem with ap casters apart from retarded blue buff is that they all do the same thing basically, they just blow up people in fights and spam their cooldowns. It would be great to see more champs like janna designed and ones that actually made sense to be go mid as the carry. Ofc, this would require pretty big changes to the whole game. | ||
