Five dodges in a row in ranked again zz. Do most people like the dodge system? I think it is good that you don't lose ELO but they need to a) take chat logs with pregame lobby and make it possible to report people and b) maybe make the dodge penalty longer.
Interesting, I have an American friend (even though you don't seem to be American this might still apply to you) at 1600ish ELO that told me in Skype people are dodging like madmen at his ELO. If I understand it correctly, there is a program called LoLNotes instantly showing you the rating of people playing with you (from: reddit) so you can more or less decide if you want to play it or not.
In addition, I had this few weeks ago when LoLking.net became so popular that I even had to read 'lololol player XY 100 ELO less than me pls someone dodge' in pregame chat.

Looks like Froggen has a bit of a PR issue on his hands.
He is sometimes a dick, that's for sure, but the 2 games people are complaininging about were, if even it exists, justified flaming on his part.
The Eve in the first game says he thought the flash-ignite leesin will go into the jungle; then he stated he has no clue who Froggen is, yet he turned up 5 minutes later to post screenshoots to witchhunt.
Dyrus didn't buy a single ward and completely lost his lane. I would have flamed anyone who doesn't ward and keeps getting caught. Not speaking of Dyrus afking after that...
And it's not that surprising that all of the top contributors of that thread are TSM-fans (I did check their post history, because I was curious).

G, thank god they found even more stupid shit to circlejerk about. /r/leagueoflegends is even WORSE than GD these days. Thanks for the link, though, guys.

Not to mention that if people were really upset about pros raging and flaming on stream froggen would hardly be the first one to go after.

It doesn't even matter if it's a witchhunt or not Froggen behaved disgracefully.

Can we have like a drama thread or something so that people who want to soap opera it up can do there thing while the rest of us talk about the game?

Oh no, someone acted like a fucking douchebag in soloQ. That's a first for me. Big fucking deal, really.
Seriously though, I can see people being mad at someone for revealing other team's strategies, not because it might or might not have changed the outcome of the game, but because it's a deliberate dick move. But someone raging and flaming in soloQ? Really?

IIRC, we had that and it got shut down because someone kept bringing the discussion back to male/female double standards, sexism and such.

I was trying to get better at playing Morde so I decided to find and watch some of westdoor0204's Morde games on the Korean server.... which made me think if I am too passive as a player or westdoor got balls of steel pushing 24/7 even though the enemy Lee Sin jungle was mia.

dyrus randoming in solo queue in stream goes post that its not ok on the froggen thread. hypocritic much?

WE is on fire at the moment. Sad they won't be playing in OGN Winter, they have no competition in China.

I understand the basic principle, but I probably would not push as lvl 5 Morde against morg and lee sin jungle when I do not have Flash nor ward coverage. Maybe I am overly cautious, or he saw (or he thought he saw) something I didn't see, or he just didn't care.

How does the tribunal rating system work? Like i have over 3k there now, is that good/bad, and is it only because my high accuracy, or are there other factors?

There's probably much more money walking over everyone in China rather than taking a shot at Korea at least we can see them at IPL5.

Why WOULD you push against that? Shove the lane, go back, buy that Kage's and 2 wards, ward deep enough and then start pushing.

I don't understand why people in the discussion about the strat leak of Dyrus keep talking about Dignitas losing regardless of the leak.
The whole point of the discussion is the leak and not the result. Most people here always crave for new interesting hero picks and just the tiniest chance of a meta shift. Meanwhile most also talk how (especially) the NA scene needs to scrim more, and be more proffesional. Then a NA team actually prepares a unorthodox strategy and picks, to use the element of surprice and the fact that you often lose to a lesser team, if that team has a strategy which you do not know how to play against.
Along comes Dyrus and leaks this exact strategy to the team Dignitas is facing and people are defending Dyrus because Dignitas would have won anyway. Where is the logic in that!?
Of course a meta change will not happen always with new strategies/picks, but it certainly doesn't help that the scrimming teams cannot trust each other to hold tight with the preparation.
As a side info, wasn't the meta-change from kill lane bot to ranged AD + support made from the fact that one team did this at a major event and won (Dreamhack?). They came with a new strategy/champoin pick, it worked out and we had a new meta.

That's probably what I would do, but watching westdoor playing makes me feel that he is really ballsy. I believe without a doubt that he is a good player, so perhaps it was just calculated risks that he was willing to take.

Agreed. I do believe dignitas chose the worst team of the groups to cheese against though. I dont know too many details about the strat and counters TSM tried while loosing against it but baning taric and blitz (or picking one of them and ban the other) seems pretty hard counter

is it just me or is the bot lane brush closer to blue side bugged in terms of vision. i swear i could have a ward inside and people would still pop in and out of vision for a millisec. TELL ME IT'S NOT JUST ME PLEASE
