yeah, if this is meant to be a replacement for the general forums, i don't think you have to worry about it "flopping." and i personally think any amount of organization is an improvement over the forums right now.

Well the idea of Reddit (community moderation through up/downvotes to weed out useless posts) is a good one. In many ways, it's much better than a traditional community forum once you have as large of a playerbase as LoL, as it stops the stupid posts followed by 6 pages of "bump" and "please respond". Then again, this is the League community.

It's great in theory but only bound to end in tears, like Communism or casual sex on Craigslist.

I wasn't aware of Gambit's tendency to pick Miss Fortune and Xin Zhao. I'm usually either asleep or busy when EU LCS was going on, and when I caught Gambit playing it wasn't with those champions.

It's pretty much expected that we'll see fewer new champions, but I emphasized it because it's tempting to look at 44 champions seen in two days and assume we'll blow past 55 tonight.



The "signature" champions I'm aware of that we've yet to see are Annie and Mundo. In terms of meta-based picks we haven't seen Vladimir to counter Shen, Kassadin (them bans), Lux, or Ashe. Assuming all of those make an appearance, we need another 6 to hit my prediction, another 8 beyond that for me to "lose" (though honestly I'd readily call 61-64 a draw), and another 15 to match CSheep's expectations.

The general consensus in TS last night was that my 55 mark was almost certainly going to be passed, but not by much.



If we need a tiebreaker to take us out of the "draw" zone, sure. Otherwise I'd rather not count banned champions, as sometimes we see junk bans as part of a strategy.

So the LoL subreddit is already pretty shit in terms of "filtering" content, and the general forums of LoL's website are flooded with trash Elo hell and tribunal and shikyo memorial-worthy threads spewed faster than I can spam the QQ thread pretty much instantly drowning every discussion that would require a thought-out answer, and they're going to mix the two?

Yeah. I don't see good community content having a chance of staying afloat in there. Doesn't sound worth it to try posting in there at all either.

Riot should just lurk these forums instead.

Except skip my posts.

Years late, but it's a step in the right direction I suppose?
