What, no. That statement doesn't have to carry that implication at all. Should have a poll. I'm actually with Cheep on this. When I originally read it, it definitely had that implication, but I seriously doubt Yango really meant people should look into drafting late game supports, when the average games ends at like 30 minutes. I'm the opposite. Saying that people don't do something doesn't imply that they should be doing it. A lot of people make that assumption, but it's not implied in the statement. "in General people have not considered if the Tshirt they wore was manufactured on a Tuesday" That in no way implies you should consider if it was on a Tuesday. If you take it as such you are reading into the statement and making assumtions. The statement it self is just a fact statement on what people consider when making a decision. taking the statement in isolation is a bit silly and i only did it cause i was too lazy to copypasta his whole post when taken in context, it definitely had the sense of "maybe people should consider this" for me Are you sure you don't see that implication because if you were the one writing it you would have wanted such implication? Feel that's often the case when reading text from another person. I dunno, we often see the question "how come xyz isn't drafted anymore?" It sort of implies to everyone else that the person still thinks "xyz" is still viable. Agreed, but that is a question. What yango said was a statement. similar but differnt. "No one drafts TF anymore." That was pretty much the sentiment during this last season of OGN. It was implied everyone who said this, usually in the context of "why? he didn't change that much, he's still got broken global".

No one ever drafts Poppy in Silver.
This kind of semantic analysis really starts feeling meaningless if you stare at it too long

But yeah you can often tell who designs a champ based on the layout of abilities. Xyph is known to have a pretty standard layout for skills.

4 games this morning on NA, 3 of them somebody disconnected, in the fourth I was ice skating all over the place.
Just a heads up, beware etc.

Confused. What's wrong with having a toggle on q? Isn't your index always on E/R and your middle on W. I guess I have different item setup so maybe that's why I don't see any issue with it. Your erm one next to pinky is always on Q anyway?

NOBODY can? I'm not sure, I bet there's at least one singular person (perhaps the possibility of there being more people) who could deny Poppy in lane hard enough to stop her from being a nightmare later on.

Well sure, but very few people in Silver (and Gold) can do it without playing an asshole lane champ like Rumble/Yorick/Teemo/etc.
Part of the issue, from my experience, is that junglers in lower leagues rarely go top past the first clear, choosing to focus on bot or mid as those are the "carries", and also generally whine harder. But that's circumstantial evidence at best.

Haha guess it's just weird with this being once a site dedicated to the RTS genre that I read people complaining about hotkeys. Had to suffer so much worse for so long it's these things seem so trivial.
I actually wonder how much thought people put into their hotkey layouts. Do you have specific slots you put your items into? I know personally I do something like 4/5 potions C treads Z/X Clutch items 6 TP and then 4 Clutch item X Wards. Something like that. That's my dota setup, obviously lol doesn't have tp or treads so it's not quite adapted well.. hmm should look into that.

I only played with 2 fingers and lucked my way to diamond and I didn't even hotkey production or anything including my army

Oh I was talking more about BW and WC3 with hotkeys all over the place and without potential grid layout(I know that customization was possible)

word on the street (aka reddit) is that xpecial is going to be clg in season 4.
some guy in the newest xpecial vlog thread.
He is leaving them. The part where he says "changes are coming to TSM", he's leaving TSM and joining CLG. The reason I know this is because he was listed on azubu live stream schedule, and once they realized it was put up prematurely, they took it down.(I guess this could also mean that something else happened, and they've decided not to go with xpecial in favor of someone else) I'm also hoping for CLG Mancloud, as Kelby seems to be talking to him specifically. I think Jiji will end up on Vulcun, with Mancloud Mid for CLG, Link Jungling, Xpecial/Lift bot lane, Chauster Coach/Sub. Heard it here first, folks. could be bullshit though

liftlift and xpecial do seem to do well together though so it's not totally crazy
|
He also seems to not enjoy TSM anymore. Would be really cool. The mancloud thing I'm more unsure of. Link is a good mid and doing MORE role changes seems counter intuitive but it is CLG

well after watching the actual vlog...
- passive aggressive as usual - calls out tsm members not putting in the same effort as him for worlds/the season - says he won't focus as hard on winning as on s3 and more streaming instead lol.

hard to focus on winning s3 when your team already got eliminated
