If we want to be taken more seriously, then perhaps we should do more srs League discussion. Who says I want anyone to take me seriously? its okay, nobody does gg Just because the things you say are true doesn't mean they don't hurt.

Hey! I'm currently a Silver I player, have been playing for around 3 years or so. Looking to improve in ranked fives with a semi-competitive team that possibly enters tourney's such as go4lol, etc. I main ADC, and mid is my secondary position. I feel like I can compete in a plat level playing field, and I'm looking to gain experience and improve myself through a better team. Looking for a great team!

You could always break GD into two threads, one for League discussion and one for Pokemans.

I'll probably find someone to help maintain a separate thread from GD that is specific for in game discussions. PM me if you're interested in setting one up. It should be update per patch imo.

If we want to be taken more seriously, then perhaps we should do more srs League discussion. I feel like team comp isn't usually something too talked about in GD; especially at pro levels. And to be honest; I feel like we still do have serious league discussion, they're just not happening as often as they use to because of longer patch cycles. I believe that team composition discussion is often ignored because the primary mode of play of this game seems to be ranked solo queue, and that team composition in that mode is more reactive than planned, it's very hard to discuss, get a feel, and trial out certain team comps and how they match up against other teams.
Throw in more complicated cogs of strategy like timing (whether objective timing, item timing, etc.) and variable lane performance into this analysis and it becomes a big headache to really analyze the team composition of a professional team and get something useful that you can implement in your own play.
At best, only two-man combos, like a Rengar-Orianna, or a Shen-Nocturne, would be worth discussing when it comes to solo queue.

Oh we're going to have more up soon like Sarens? ;o Nice!

We also need a literally general thread for the generally literal discussion
Oh but I really would love a seperate thread for theorycraft with proper analysis

You just need to distance yourself from us to moderate properly just like the strict old day of BW. Anything not related or trolling will get a warning or even a ban. TL as a whole has degrade alot since the flood of SC2. One thing that make TL so awesome in the BW day is because of its strict moderation.

the Literally discussion thread would be virtually the most used thread on the forum.

And to be honest; I feel like we still do have serious league discussion, they're just not happening as often as they use to because of longer patch cycles. Yeah, kind of like how people were saying Curse's teamfight against C9 was shit yesterday when C9 really just had a way better team fight team. Curse had a pick off comp that worked early but they didn't close out the game hard enough. I always find it weird when teams play fight comps/small skirmish comps. I feel like the trade off inability to truly initiate a 5v5 team is too great. Also, Vulcan's Nasus jungle delayed VES's towerpushing strategy enough; while grabbing enough farm on essential carries, that eventually allowed them to beat VES. (But I also felt that it was largely in part VES's fault for trying to force the issue of shoving towers as fast as possible after seeing how strong nasus' wave clear was on top.) I mean Curse's team wasn't terrible for team fights per say, just not as good as C9's. The point of the comp is to establish a great enough gold lead that you should still win 5 v 5 fights even if the other team is better. And Curse was on track to do this until they derped at Baron and Jacky rushed in got blown up and Balls threw down an immaculate Equalizer. They didn't pressure lanes nearly hard enough, with their lead they should have taken towers much earlier and forced C9 away from them. I just rewatched the game this morning for the recap so it's fresh in my head lol.

As long as we don't have a Literal Discussion and a Virtual Discussion. That would just be redundant.

There was a huge discussion about this exact topic a few days ago in GD. Looking through the reddit comments, I think only one of the hundreds I looked at mentioned TL. I'm still shocked at how low the exposure to our subforum seems to be.
Dignitas flair...pshhh

I can confirm this from personal experience.

So, I'm pretty new to this whole lol thing, as I'm a Dota player. Just finally got L30 a couple weeks ago, so trying to build up some heroes for ranked. Diana worth the pickup, since she's on sale? She seems pretty powerful from what I've seen, but never tried her, and wondering if she's worth my RP.
