man this discussion reminds me of all those sc2 kiddies who were considering going pro. i often wonder how old some of these people are, or how much they know about the world...

even if i was a pro player making a decent salary with some decent tourney winnings on the side, i would still hedge my bets and do college. like, maybe esports will become huge and we'll see aphromoo pull a 5 year 100 mill contract like drew brees did, but i doubt it. plus in esports you're a champ one day, a has-been the next.

i kind of laugh when i see people say that pros should put their money into their education
if my kid had the option between playing a game that they love to make money or going to college, i'd tell them to do what they love 100% of the time
people always say like "gaming dies out but your education will last forever" and it baffles me... college has got to be the biggest scam in history. i know more waiters with college degrees than without. obviously this is a discussion for a different topic, but i'd rather see someone make a living doing something they enjoy than get put into debt that will follow them for life for a pointless degree

General TL question: Is there a legend anywhere with all of the avatar icons and what they mean? I've kinda gotten so far

nuke = perma ban
lock = temp ban
Hammer = mod

but then theres stuff like puzzle pieces and pens and I just have no idea lol

That awkward moment when you are placed on the same team as a friend when you aren't duo. Then there are 7 dodges in a row zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Hammer: Banlings. I'm not sure about the difference between them and admins (is there even any?)
Puzzle pieces: Liquipedia admin/mod (red for admin, blue for mod)
Pens: Writers
Paintbrushes: Artist/Graphic designer
Blue text bubble: Translator.
Admins have personal icons of their choosing i think.

Hope it helps!

EDIT: I was just messaging Ares[Effort] about the differences because I realized that I didn't know them either :o, and here's what he said:
+ Show Spoiler +

swim224 (8:40): ok, whats the difference between a banling and an admin?
Nimbus1 (8:40): well there's
   4 levels
   staff banling mod admin
   staff are people who consist of everyone
   writers gfx etc
swim224 (8:40): k
Nimbus1 (8:40): banling are
   staff that are granted the power to ban
   and moderate threads and stuff
   mods are the red names
   given more power
   admins are head of everything
   the blue bar are representives of the site
   who speak directly for the website
   and work at TLHQ
swim224 (8:42): ah, ok. So admins would be the heads of certain divisions? (head writer/editor etc?)
Nimbus1 (8:42): ya
   i.e waxangel
   head of writers
   editor in chief or w/e the title is
swim224 (8:42): yeah, thats who i was using for the example :o
   cool
Nimbus1 (8:42): and hot_bid is
   COO
swim224 (8:43): oh, alright then. tyvm!
Nimbus1 (8:43): np
swim224 (8:43): was never sure about the differences
   :D
Nimbus1 (8:43): ya it's crazy
   a lot of time many people have different titles and jobs

with the level and exposure that some of these pros are at, i think they'll gain enough experience to transition into jobs in the gaming industry easily in some fashion. if you want to do something else you might have problems though.

the only thing laughable about kids wanting to go pro is that it always comes from unskilled players. if you're playing 3-4 hours everyday and you can't beat people who only put in a couple hours on the weekend, guess what, increasing the time you're playing won't help at all.

This page should have most of the special icons. There are a few other non-mod icons but they aren't staff so I don't really know where to find them.

Way to make my post feel useless jkjk
I was actually looking for this very list, I guess my search phrase wasn't accurate enough to find it. Now I know to bookmark it!

Just look for red stuff and SonuvBob/semioldguy.

Only ones with real power. All the other people are irrelevant. So that's red hammers, red names, and those 2 fake blues.

That's awkward? Son, that ain't shit.

I was at the our school game dungeon duoing with a friend. Another friend of ours was also playing across the room. My friend and I entered queue.

...And we get the dude playing from across the room in our team.

Heyoka and Fakesteve are technically the boss of the guys who write you all of the great content in this subforum.like the LR Threads and Post-tournament Writeups (aka Neo, JBright and MoonBear). They give us the green light to do nice things for you. If everything goes according to plan, we're going to have some really nice stuff for the Season 2 Championships and in Season 3!

For the record, they have never, ever threatened me, or hurt me in order to get things done on time and I think they are great people.

A handful can transition, but most can't. There aren't many jobs out there -- it's usually something like casting or coaching/managing. Other jobs generally require actual education / skills (e.g. you can't become a developer for a gaming website if you don't know e.g. web development). Note that most of these jobs are also contested by non-"pros" and the first two (the ones that don't require any skills or education) generally pay poorly and/or are infrequent.

There just isn't much out there to transition into.

For convienience =)

Also, I just picked up ahri a few days ago. I recall hearing that W>Q if you want to kill, Q>W if you want to farm. Is that still true after all the changes or is Q>W superior in pretty much every circumstance? The cdr on W makes for higher damage but it doesn't seem to matter too much in an all-in until level 7 onwards.

I always max Q on Ahri first, you're never going to be in range for W unless you get a successful charm off or you ult right into their face
