yeah i will never get used to the lack of realism in rappel (aka spider climbing up a sky with no object to cling onto). They should have made elise go underground instead of up high, now that makes much more sense.

i really think a lot of the major NA viewership is a result of having good personalities and people that you want to cheer for based on their streams, and i don't think that'll go away if asia dominates.

on top of that i think there's a push to keep the regions separate instead of having them all bunch up.

So, hypothetical situation: suppose at S3 or S4 finals, instead of having 2 western teams in Ro4, we have no Western teams in Ro4 or possibly even Ro8?

What happens to viewer numbers in the latter half of the tournament?

The viewer numbers go up due to the higher quality of play. I seriously doubt people will stop watching just because TSM is out of the tournament.

You'd be surprised. I'd rather watch a team with personalities that I've grown to care about then some asian robots I know nothing about. I know that's kind of a shitty attitude but that's just how I've always felt about Esports. I like to have someone to root for.


I know this was like 50 pages ago but, why can't people attach themselves to asians how they would north americans? I'm a massive Jaedong and Flash fan. Godly asian robots that I care about. Maybe LoL just needs more figurehead out-and-out best players in the world?

I don't think LoL (or mobas in general) really allow for a God-tier, can't touch this team system. In a 1v1 game like BW or SC2, it's possible, but in team games that have snowball capabilities like LoL does, I find it highly unlikely that a single team could become whatever the team equivalent of bonjwa is. You'll always have A-list teams that have a chance of beating the S-list teams getting their best player fed through brutal ganking/protecting (happens with LiftLift and Froggen), or the opposite, where a lower team will come up with a specific way of countering a better team by taking out their linchpin (Dig's "revealed" strategy vs CLG.EU). And the ban/pick system lets you remove certain players from the situation or soft-counter champions from the gate (happened to HSGG during one of the earlier tournaments, where they literally banned or picked every champ he played during the time where he was considered one of the best players in the world).

The closest we can get is kind of what we currently have, where you have a nebulous cloud of like ~6 teams that all feel unbeatable on a day-to-day basis, but no one that's outright the best.

Most Elise I've seen just sit in Spider form and rarely use any of the caster spells, I think that's why she seems weaker.

It's like Nidalee. The good ones will be bouncing in and out of cougar with insane kite, but the bad ones will just be a kitty all day, or just throw spears and kitty at bad times.

The good Elise's will utilize her whole kit, the bad ones will do well enough until late game when you don't have a "true" ult and you have make up for it by having more skills.

Next champion:
af;lsdgfhfjk, the Mole King.

passive: af;lsdgfhfjk's spells create mole hills, which give him +x armor
Q throws a rock
W digs underground and pops up
E passive armor gain, short range slash
R makes a mountain out of a molehill which knocks people up. +x armor bonus is doubled when on a molehill.

That would be too similar to Vlad pool imo. Plus, with sky rappel, you can do some awesome jukes/escapes over walls and onto jungle creeps.

Edit: and Zyra mid is still ridiculously strong.

You know how every summoner has a camera rig floating in the sky to watch the combat? Elise grabs onto one of those.

If it really bothers you, you can just imagine she's jumping. That's why she can't stay up there for too long. It doesn't match the name of the skill anymore, but when has the name of a skill been an issue in LoL....

While we're at it, why does fizz balancing on top of his spear make him untargettable? He's right there. On top of the pole. My shit is ranged. Can't I just hit him?

I've only played with or vs an Elise about 4 times since release(one of those being me). Tried jungling her, didn't like it very much(mainly due to lack of itemization unless you snowball). Played vs like 3 of them mid, only had one that would swap forms to combo and kept dodging my teams ults w rappel. The other two just kind of derped around in spider form lols. I think once people start maximizing her kit we'll see more of her. Tempted to try her top

Any thoughts on the new champ? Kind of reminds me of silhouette from HoN(and she was possibly my favorite/best champ next to Magmus, so hopefully I can get the hang of this one). Big plays to be made with the shadow swaps.

Actually, the pole does bother me more than the shark. The shark is just so blatant that i can have suspension of disbelief about it.

Alex Ich frustrated that his opponent FP'd lee because he wanted to play it. Is he doing Lee Mid? Taking a cue from Froggen?

One of the favorite things my best friend said when we were playing BW a lot. "Why the fuck can't my siege tanks shoot up?? THEY HAVE CANNONS!!!"

There's a canopy of redwood trees over summoner's rift, the current trees are just pony trees created by magic for aesthetic purposes because the league needs viewers to see things so that they can makes millions off of broadcasting matches and commercials to the ignorant masses while settling their disputes in a "fair" manner.

I say we do the same thing today and give a single corporation the all the rights to settle our inter-country disputes with each country sending it's own champions, we can probably co-opt the Olympics for that and give them nukes so everyone who doesn't want in on the compact gets wiped off the planet rune wars style!

While we are on the topic of calling shenanigans on Riot, how in the hell have they gotten away with having a troll named Grundle in the game that spontaneously shoots a pillar of shit out of the ground with stink lines and everything.
