You know, just because they might not be crazy about the insights of Ozone's coach don't mean they wouldn't piss themselves for a Doublelift or a Reginald interview.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

A progamer actually playing the game is like a clumsy, fat sea-lion once it reaches the water; it suddenly becomes graceful and impressive, and that's what I'm in it for.

The joke is that everyone is asking for VoDs and shit; when the joke is that OGN has VoDs on a paid subscription for very cheap; and great analysis by Monte; and our staff. The stuff is out there; but redditors actually don't fucking want it. They just say they want it. Otherwise they would've already known all of this.

They just want it for free. Ingrates.

It's like it isn't restreamed twice; at very convenient hours.

Most people don't know to look for restreams, so that's an issue of poor communication on both sides. Just recently downvoted and reported a thread advertising a program to dl and bypass the paywall. -_-

I mean that's fine, not everyone has to be super invested in the pro scene. It's just weird that all these people claim that they want this content but many of them would never take the time to even read it anyway. This content already exists in many forms but a lot of the people in that thread comment in ways that make them seem unaware of it.

Edit: Also I think the fact it's Ozone's coach is partially irrelevant, if he has interviewed imp it probably would have gotten a similar response since he is relatively unknown by the general r/lol populace.

Well to be fair I think Neo kind of blew it with the post title on that one....yeah its accurate but nobody wants to click on:

"TeamLiquid Exclusive Interview with MVP Ozone/Blue Coach, Im Hyun-seok. Coaching decisions, life at the team house, and upcoming players to the MVP lineup in the future."

That title is TLDR. You should have called it like:

"Teamliquid Exclusive: Life on a Korean Pro-Team!"

or

"Teamliquid Exclusive: Korean Pro-Team Coach Calls NA and EU Trash!"

get like 5x the views imoimo, gotta up your sensationalism.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Gragas, according to LoLking atm, is like the 8th lowest win rate % champ. Has he gotten nerfed in recent months? I just played a game with him and he felt the same as I left him. Is it more about the meta w/ the number of AD bruisers he is likely to face or something or has he fallen out of favor so just nobody plays him worth a damn anymore?

Reddit has a short memory, they probably forgot already. Even if they didn't they probably wouldn't even know what team he was on. Maybe if OGN didn't have a paywall they would huehue. Alright I'm done, no more Reddit bashing for now.

Iirc Mima played him in OGN and wrecked everybody. So I would say people just forgot about him.

Scarra played him a lot last split but recently has stopped. Also lest we forget inSec on Jungle Gragas! Gragas in viable but just not played a lot. Also his ult can easily fuck up team fights if you're not careful.

Gragas is hard I think, and a bunch of nabby fans playing him because they saw their fav pro do it will inevitably drive down his win %.

He's never had a very high winrate as far as I know. He's much stronger in organized play than in soloque for a few reasons.

1. He's got good burst but really bad sustained damage in teamfights, teams have to instantly capitalize on his combo.
2. He doesnt carry too well unless you get obscenely fed. You do your QR and that has to be enough damage to win the teamfight. If it is, great. If not, then there isn't much else you can do.
3. His barrel is relatively hard to hit, hard champs lose because the average player sucks (see syndra).

I blew it? I did short, terse titles for reddit before and I was suggested by the SC admins to have longer, more detailed titles instead. So I guess it goes to show that you can't please everyone.

Up sensationalism? Sound pretty stupid considering everything TeamLiquid was build upon. No thanks.

I figured the sensationalism part was sarcasm. At least that's how I took it >_>

His win rate was insanely high after Riot foolishly buffed him like a year ago. It was when they made his E 1050 range and 50 mana. Then they nerfed it a bit and then they nerfed his ult too when the realized how good it already. I'll never say he's a godly champ because, as you point out, you get to Q+r (which is really good) but then his cd's get in the way and E'ing into the team is dangerous. It's just weird that he's not seen with a bit more success given that he really isn't that hard to play compared to some other popular champs (orianna, lee sin, etc).

You kinda need a sensationalist title to get noticed on reddit. At the very least include that MVP Ozone won OGN spring (this is not common knowledge).

Just got back from Anime Expo. Was a lot of fun, there was a goddamn shit ton of people doing LoL cosplay. Although apparently there was an actual LoL cosplay gathering one day with pros and rioters and shit and it wasn't on the schedule, and I'm just learning about it now as I get home and have internet access. Pretty funny.

Sometime tomorrow I'll make a picture thread so I can show you all wonderful things like + Show Spoiler +

Twas a joke!

I mean, that is what you would have to do if you wanted to appeal to the masses of Reddit. If Redditors wanted TL they would just come to TL. I mean personally who cares, but that's how Reddit works.

Pretty sure it was 1050 movespeed....although it would be pretty awe inspiring to see Gragas body slam the range of a shock blast.

I'm sorry, but I am going to contradict the now "popular" TL rant initiated by onlywonderboy.

The fact is that there is not a single good interview about the meta, balance, imbalance, or anything worth listening to.

There are only 2 types of interview content out their:

#1. Grilled. AKA a comprehensive interview about a pro's career, but lacking insight into the future. and
#2. Statements by publicists. Or the equivalent thereof. AKA every lol postgame interview ever conducted + all red posts on lol forums, + recaps given by players.

The closest thing we get to a useful and interesting interview is when Doublelift gets mad during a travis interview and says "Draven sucks" or something.
