The word "Justicar" also means "man of justice" i.e a judge. On June 07 2013 23:36 onlywonderboy wrote: Also I'm not sure why everyone is so worried that Edward and Cop's playstyle won't mesh. Genja and Cop play pretty similarly, which is more passive and safe than Doublelift or WildTurtle. If Edward was able to carry Genja he should be able to carry Cop too. Although NA Bot lanes are a bit stronger than EU overall. Edward left Gambit partly because he didn't mesh well with Genja. So the current playstyle of Cop isn't a problem, but for such a botlane to work, what is important is if Cop would be willing/able to adjust to Edward's style.

If you get matched with better opponents, the system compensates by subtracting less MMR when you lose / adding more MMR when you win. There's nothing inherent about the system that requires even matchmaking to work. If you don't like it because you can't win, stahp caring about wins and start caring more about your own self improvement :\ Why do you assume it's about winning? Screw Elo, screw LP, it's just that such a discrepancy makes the game much more likely to be a stomp, and there's a distinct lack of fun to that. There's not much to do, you can try your best, etc. (and I certainly could have played better than one game and noticed my bad decisions, for example), but it's still a one-sided stomp where you can't even start and try to compete because of how the game goes (unless the enemy team just throws immensely, which isn't satisfying either because if you care about the win, you didn't earn it, and if you care about improving, there's nothing particular that you did that was "good"). Granted, you obviously don't get a case such as that game I had (3 people in promo series on one team, none on the other) every other game, but considering the implications in terms of matchmaking I'm just concerned by the possibility that it occurs. | ||

On June 08 2013 00:01 Swords wrote: To me, the problem with this isn't that they won't be able to play together well, it's that Edward hated Genja's playstyle. Edward likes aggression, Cop/Genja like to be passive. Edward can certainly play that style, but when part of his problem with GG was he didn't like playing passively it doesn't bode well for laning with Cop. Is this based on an interview or something, or just speculation? I was under the impression he didn't like Genja as a person and it was more of a personality clash than a gameplay one. Edit: On the Facebook post he said it was a mix of them not adapting to each other's playstyle as well as not enjoying the team atmosphere anymore, so it was both I guess. | ||

So calling Cop and improvement to Genja is really hilarious since both play the same pussy style but apparently Genja is Gambit's pick/bans mastermind and partly shotcaller. Anyways, CRS EDWARD PLS | ||

Maybe if someone who understood the system the best made a thread it could all migrate there. Or take it to QQ. I only want to read drama, knowledge bombs, and pokemon in the GD thread  Edit: And it's been beaten to fuckin' death. Hecarim is upset for how much we beat that dead horse. | ||

Also, rereading your previous post, Silver III vs Gold V (the only differences between the teams that I could see) isn't even necessarily an unwinnable stomp, unless you used lolnexus before the game and got discouraged before the game even started, and therefore didn't play to your fullest extent. At worst your chance of winning was like 30%. EDIT: Or did you mean you had 4x Silver III's? Even then, the difference between top-silver III (they were in promos) and Silver I is like 100 elo, people can swing that much in a single day. It's really easy to throw in the towel prematurely just because lolnexus told you the other team is stronger, and lose the game because you're not really trying, confirming your beliefs that the other team was bound to win. There's a reason why lol doesn't show your opponent's borders on the loading screen. | ||

Anyways, CRS EDWARD PLS Don't bother, wei2coolman's not here to discuss the relative assessment of Cop and Genja as AD carries, but here to spread his agenda across, so there's almost no use in debating the issue with him because his mind is already made up. I've called wei2coolman out on his tendencies to spread his agenda across rather than promoting in-depth discussions, and went in painstaking detail in order to ask him to back his statements up with specific games from which he extrapolated his opinions from. It turns out he is content with re-iterating what Doublelift says during his trash-talks and putting faith in them to almost a religious degree. He doesn't need proof apart from his own beliefs, and certainly doesn't think it's necessary convince others by putting forth a worthwhile discussion because it might be detrimental to his drum-beating. | ||

Unfortunately there is no hard data to support either side so all of these opinions are just based on personal views and assessments. you're completely right, and that's why I think from now on we should refrain from saying X position of Y region is better than Region Z, because at the end of the day it's still a 5v5 game. Like I won't even argue that Doublelift is much better than Yellowpete currently but clg hasn't won a tournament since august 2011 or in general a good tournament finish which wasn't NA only, while under clg.eu Pete & friends had, I don't know how many top4 results + #1 kings of europe, Dreamhack and LonestarClash. You also just made me realize how 2 out curse, clg and Dig won't be able to go to worlds. ( I expect TSM to definitely qualify) Wouldn't even be surprised if it's TSM + C9/GGU going to worlds haha | ||
