(i don't actually know how to navigate reddit, lol) http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/ylcyh/why_i_think_na_is_overrating_the_koreanasian/ It's pretty difficult to read all the ignorance. I think it's because the LoL community is pretty new to esports, they haven't really had any experience or knowledge of any other esports, especially well ran esports like SC:BW. | ||

Both of those champs have a very similar playstyle imo, being that they both have laning phases where very few, if any, champs can properly exploit any of their weakness (to the point of preventing their lategame power) have mobility, gank resistance, and boatloads of free dmg, and then riven has her shield and irelia has her healing. Are they exactly the same? No, of course not, but they seem to have similar design philosophies, and that was kinda what that post was talking about, and how it relates to the overall problem with top lane in which you have a champion that is strong mid + lategame (either via utility, or straight dmg, or both) that you simply cannot stop, barring a huge skill differential(which is a problem that i think is overstated, but i agree it's there to some extent). I think Riven might be stronger late game. But it's top lane so jungler wins the lane, not that bad. | ||

Honestly, I would appreciate if more people just understood the brutality of how hard one can lose top... MIGHT make people think twice before whining (wishful thinking). I understand what you're saying though... good play really does have some of the greatest rewards in top lane. | ||

You're on an island, you should only rely on yourself. Don't play like a dumbass. I think that's actually pretty good advice for any lane. Don't play like a dumbass. | ||

I think that's actually pretty good advice for any lane. Don't play like a dumbass. If only it were so simple. I consider myself to be a fairly thoughtful and intelligent person/player, and I can't help being a dumbass with some relative frequency. And then there are actual stupid people. | ||

Good play can turn any lane into a shutout, it's just somewhat harder mid/bottom. Ultimately I like how completely shutting down an opponent is difficult because it gives teamwork and the mid-game more value. Otherwise "win lane, win game" would be the nature of things, and that's more boring (both as a player and a spectator). | ||

I think that's actually pretty good advice for any lane. Don't play like a dumbass. It's not that simple. Say you play carefully and don't overextend if the jungler could be around. This allows the opponent to get 15 minions ahead of you, come back with an extra doran blade, and then they will get further and further behind and before you know it you lost a lane, mostly because of not taking any risks. If you take that risk and the jungler doesn't come, you're even again or might even win, whereas if you don't take the risk and the jungler was camping, you will make them waste time and your team takes advantage elsewhere. It's not just a black-and-white type of a good or bad play situation, you have incomplete information so you will need to take risks, sometimes it doesn't pay off. | ||

I guess what I'm saying is, I'm ok with teamwork and the mid-game having less value. I think they're important enough right now that there's room to shift value onto laning without making those things at all unimportant. | ||

A) it will affect other lanes too, B) I honestly don't think there's an overall problem with top lane, just that some top laners are problematic, and need to be remade, regardless of how 'good' or 'bad' they are. some new items might alleviate some problems as well. Yeah you're probably right that riot won't change the game. Hopefully they're just going to change some champs like Riven and Garen because "their ults are on too short of a cooldown and they are manaless so they don't need to think about when they use the ults." Sucks for Riven players but it doesn't affect me  | ||

.@Dusty The CD is really short in the early game aswell. For all the damage and range it gives it´s quite insane, when I play Riven I feel like I have it up everytime I need it. It makes laning vs Riven really brutal. | ||
