Uhm... seeing that warning above, where is the line currently for "QQ thread go there fknewb"?
Is the warning just about "4 games, 3 with d/c, cool servers" (not fine) vs "4 games, 3 with d/c, cool servers riot, anyone else got that problem?" (totally fine cause it's not PURE whining)?
Like, personally I see no real diifference between those two, since anyone answering to the first statement will either confirm or deny that he had lots of disconnects as well. So despite him not asking about what's going on for others the topic itself kinda implies that.
If someone says "wow I just lost 5 games due to stupid teammates" - THAT is imo a statement which was just done to vent somewhere, without the intention of getting any constructive feedback. Also with this statement an attached "...anyone else having the same problem?" would not change whether it's whining or not.
Haven't one-liners been warn-able since forever?
And Craton's post is basically a one-liner.

Judging by his comment he got warned for not posting in the QQ thread, not for a one-liner

all his posts are one-liners, not gonna lie i'm surprised he doesn't get warned more

Well considering I won 2 of the 3 with d/cs (because the enemy team had 2 of them), I wasn't bitching about losing due to D/Cs, but rather that the servers where being unstable for the nth time in the last several weeks. It was also a probe to see who else was having issues.

yes, those are great examples of pointless 1-liner posts lol ty craton
*gets the irony*
*doesn't need you to point out that my last 2 posts are also 1-liners*

Again- remember that just because there IS a lane doesnt mean that there has to be an S class player for that lane.
Actually, I think top is the most pathetic of all positions ATM. For some reason it became "okay" for a tournament top lane player to not have a wide selection of champions. I mean, most SUPPORTS can play more champions than the top laners on their team. And there are like 5 support champions. if you have all your bases covered well, why do you need to know a bunch of other underpowered and niche heroes? don't think nada or oov needed to master nukes to be S-class when they had the fundamentals mastered well like, a tournament level gp or irelia doesn't need to demonstrate his prowess with singed/cho/olaf/whoever else there is when there's no need for fancy play syndrome It's not playing "niche" or "underpowered" heroes. It's playing the hero that's best suited to the team-comp that their team wants to play. Many top laners on high-level teams aren't even capable of that, and end up having to shoehorn their limited picks into a team that's not suited for them, or against a team that they're not good against.

the elite top players may or may not be able to play 10 heroes like some mids can but i don't see how banning 4 of his heroes is going to cripple him (3 ban + 1 pick for your own top) if, as i said, he "has his bases covered" You're assuming that getting to play a hero that he knows how to play is good enough, but at the top level it's not the case. Suppose they ban/pick against your top laner, and take out 4 of his 5 heroes. Even if he's got one left he can play, that's simply not good for you because you're forced in a situation where you HAVE to play team-comps that fit that hero. Or worse, try to shoehorn that hero into a team-comp that he's NOT good in. It's not necessary for a player to know every hero in their role. But given a team that is comfortable playing a specific set of strategies, it IS necessary for a player to be able to play heroes that are suitable for those strategies. It should never be the case that a team might think "X is the best hero left for this team-comp on paper, but we can't use X because our top laner doesn't know how to play him". The 4 other players on your team shouldn't have to play with a suboptimal top lane pick just because you don't know the hero that would fit the team-comp the best.
I think this is the main reason we saw so much irelia and gangplank at IEM. Both are relatively good in pretty much any teamcomp. I feel like a top laner playing 10-20 champions at tournament level is just asking too much. Plus the fact that you can run pretty much anything top lane from ad carries (vayne, corki) to assassins (akali) to bruisers (irelia, gangplank) to your double ap comps...It's just absurd how many champions one person would have to know how to play.

Maybe this guy isn't* part of the happy family? :D I didn't think rival as in him being a bad guy just like they're both inventors and Heim is more acknowledged or whatever for the sake of lore.
Edit: meant isn't not is :D

They made it look like Heimer to try to trick you.

So I haven't seen a single Sejuani in forever. Is she really that bad, or haven't people just played her enough? To me she still seems useless apart from ulti which is potentially imba. I guess ulti bot just isn't good enough? he seems to me like a relatively weak jungler and a mediocre toplaner, but again I have barely even seen her
