Honestly, from a Silver player who got gold in all three queues last season (and had a really easy time doing in 3s) 3s is MUCH harder this season.
By far.

That's only you getting worse, though. :x

Possibly. It might be that old TT as compared to new TT as well as the decline in my skill level between seasons was enough to make that difference to me.
I dunno though it really felt like the players we were playing against were much better overall than those we started playing against back in S2 when we started playing TT.

K guys, here's the sitch:
5 champs left: Aatrox, Voliburrrrr, Yorick, Lucian, Fizz.
Fizz is on sale coming up; have 300-ish RP and 5300 IP.

I don't play nearly as much anymore (I used to earn enough IP for a new champ every 2-3 weeks, now it takes me over a month).
Fizz was going to be my next buy. Should I:
a) Wait and just buy him with IP like I was going to
b) Refund something to buy him with RP (I was thinking Mecha Khazix since I barely play him but imo that's one of the skins that gives you a legitimate advantage with Isolation being easier to see. Also got it on sale so if I ever wanted to re-buy it, would be hella expensive)
c) Don't be a cheapass and just buy $5 in RP (I've bought a LOT of champs on sale this summer---something I never used to do because I saw my IP/champ earning rate slow way down and I'd never catch 'em all otherwise)

I'm having an existential crisis here, TL.

(Also planned on buying a day-IP boost at some point this coming week and grind like crazy just for fun)

Buy Fizz and troll Neo.

And make csheep rage quit.

Fizz and aatrox only decent buys on your list. The other 3 are sort of useless.

Lissandra is on sale this week, insta bought her. Seemed rather quick to go on sale after release, or at least that's how it feels.

Voli is still really strong, man he went into and out out style fast.
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.

People just learned not to get baited by his passive, and that running is a shitty way to engage. (see, udyr, singed, etc).

Haha you don't have to feel guilty.
I know it was just a jab but honestly not playing for months at a time seriously DID fuck with my skills.
You'll see when I stream this weekend---I'm legit terrible-r than I used to be.

Despite being 4800 Yorick is the absolute bottom of my list. Next buy will be Aatrox, then probably Lucian. I can't play Singed worth a dick and Volibur reminds me of him somewhat. I just don't like the fling mechanic and running at people/doing slow as shit damage to kill them.

So if summer split is the sole determining factor in who gets into worlds from NA+EU, then what was the point of spring split other than money?

Money is a pretty good reason isnt it?

Yeah, on one hand it'd be nice if the spring split counted for something, but on the other hand some teams in the summer split weren't even in the spring split.

Maybe give spring and summer split winners an automatic seed for worlds, give points to 2/3/4th place teams, have the 4 teams with most points play a tourney for 3rd spot. Idk, would be unfair to teams who qualified in the summer split but it would make spring split important

I think this puts too much weight on the spring split. Performing well in summer split should be prioritized over performing well in the spring split, since it's a more recent indicator of skill.
Maybe give 1 spot to worlds to the winner of the spring split and give the other 2 spots to the top two teams in summer split (moving down to 3rd if there's an overlap). Having any point system that carries over from spring split too harshly penalizes teams that didn't play in the spring split IMO.

No. Osl champion doesn t get a free place in Msl. Spring and summer splits should be considered as 2 different tournaments. Each with their cash money. Yes summer makes spring looks weak with the world championship grand finale, but giving teams more benifits because of past results is not a good idea.
Be nice, buy wards and don't feed double buff.

Check the situation in Korea atm if you wanne know the danger of having the spring season count for Worlds.
LoL has a very volatile scene. Teams rise and fall quick enough that any long term seeding can be very detrimental.
Im perfectly fine with the situation as it is now.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Just about to say this. I mean Sword might do alright but there are definitely stronger KR teams at the moment. Spring Playoffs might have just been for money/bragging rights, but at least it didn't give Coast a better chance to qualify for worlds than C9 (obviously due to their poor performance Coast wouldn't have made it anyway, but them having an advantage would have felt off)

If we went with the Chinese system, Coast would be one of 4 teams in the playoffs.

And they'd still be playing on 2 patches ago. Yeeeehaw.
