Dont post much, but I appreciate all you (and the rest of the LoL staff) have done for TL LoL. Looking forward to what TL brings in 2013!

Edit: That "call me maybe" joke made me laugh.
Take anything I say with a grain of salt.....I suck at this game. Also, Go Blue!

As a lurker on TL who is just getting into LoL, because of OGN Winter 2012-2013, I am impressed with the quality of this article. I know Moonbear is a staff memeber of TL, but I always thought the best articles would be centered around SC and Dota. Simply because of the focus they get here on TL.

I really loved how your brought up the problems the LoL community has that may cause stagnation. You also do a great job giving advice on how to adjust and fix these problems. The only question I am left with is what seems to be the issue with the casters?

Coming from SC2 it seemed that for a professional tournament to be run at this point you always need an analytical caster and a play-by-play type. Does this not happen or are the analytical casters just that bad at their job. For reference I have only listened to Doa and MonteCristo during this season of OGN LoL.

Fantastic read as always, MB.
Your point about casters using VODs and your articles as a point of research/reference really hit home.
I know I'm just the PbP guy but I'm really going to give this a bunch of thought for future casting.

The best analytical casters from SC2 tend to be former/current players (BW/SC2). Unfortunately LoL is not old enough where there is a stable set of retired players who can jump in and give the analysis that people like. The casters we have now are getting better but you can tell the difference in the community's reaction when players hop in and give their insight.

Double AP Skarner is too stronk.
I am sorry I just had to :D
Anyway, I appreciate the writeups and also the analysises (?) of pro games, I know how much time it takes. If you could ever use help analysing a game, be it for a write-up or just for yourself, feel free to PM me, I should usually have enough time to help you out. <3

It took me a bit to remember my symbolic logic.

I have really enjoyed the content provided by TL so far, it should be interesting to see what happens over the next year. Personally, I think a big reason that LoL theory crafting is so weak compared to BW and SC2 is the lack of replays. I still have APM_RepInfo and bwChart on my desktop, and the data sets that could be extracted from those programs allowed for the sort of prescriptive empirical analysis that League is so sorely lacking.
