How much time usually between releases ?
When I was playing, the rhythm was infernal. And Tencent just bought them so it was 6300 every 2 weeks.

3-5 weeks. In 2013 there have only been six new champs released.

Oh man, Ezreal going for the old skool Tri->LW->BT builds now.

At least it isn't League of Ezreal anymore after W was destroyed. Can't autowin trades just by landing it now.

The Holy Trinity of ADCs was a rough period in the ADC meta.

sheen before phage at least on Corki feels much better. Haven't played much Ezreal since the patch but I imagine Phage is better for him.

I still normally go phage > zeal > sheen but I might experiment with sheen > phage > zeal

I'm pretty sure people normally went sheen > phage > zeal for Corki back in season 2 to maximize his early burst
whereas for Ezreal it was phage > sheen > zeal.

I'm still not loving the new phage, I just don't feel as impactful with a speed up as opposed to a slow.

Would Ezreal with old W (but nerfed to a decent degree) be bad for league right now? I really liked his W mechanic before.

Can I ask what you're sample size is? Obviously you used all the LCS games in NA and EU, but did you do the last 2 OGN seasons? Just this season? I assume no NLB, because reports are hard to come by.
Basically I feel that the Korean numbers could be weighted by the group stage #s where there is a greater disparity between the Top teams (SKT, KT etc) and the also rans (IM, Xenics, etc) wheras in the LCS season we get an even distribution of games between the top and bottom teams.

An analysis like this does make sense to do because hysteresis in league games is really want we want to know about. However because "team quality" isn't factored in, we do not know if it is the case that the first dragon wins because the game snowballs, or the game snowballs and SKT gets first dragon because SKT is just better than their competition. This will not be fixed by increasing sample size unless you do a full and proper VAR[Vector Auto Regression, which i think would be the proper method here, but it may not be necessary]

To get an idea of what this means, think about some sort of study you wanted to do where you wanted to test whether or not culture had an effect on economic growth. So you went to three radically different cultures and measured growth over the years.

Say in Canada, Pakistan, and China. Well the different cultures of each area basically run hand in hand with their different geographies. Because of this you can't tell whether or not any effect you make is because of the culture, or because of the geography.

In the example instance we cannot fix this with a large sample size unless there are similarities across the regions which make the auto correlation imperfect or we add new regions which have similarities across the regions which make the auto correlation imperfect

Within the context of League we probably have some randomness with which we can tease some more information out. But I am not quite sure of how precisely one would want to set up the regression to find that out or how much information we could actually get out of it.

@spellsy

if you have the raw data i might be able to come up with better numbers. Send it to me would you?

re triforce:

i changed my lucian build from cdr focused to triforce-ie-lw (could get lw before ie), and dont think i will go back to cdr. triforce just feels awesome on him. he already is meant to kite and triforce helps so much with that.

People in this game get attached to the dumbest things. I remember the people crying because you couldn't "YOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIORYOURSKILLSAREINFERIOR" anymore.

Did they really remove that? I'm actually really salty about that. That Master Yi video will never have the same meaning ever again. Heartbreaker

I legitimately think the new Sivir preview looks terrible for what Sivir is supposed to be(like, some crazy Xena style amazon warrior woman). I'm sure they could've touched up the visuals without making her look like a teenager that's never had to fight in her life, who's default facial expression is somewhat cheerful with some pouty lips.

Sivir is a bounty hunter and she is the single wealthiest person in Valoran, I don't see a problem with her being cheerful :D

Well they didn't remove it, he just has multiple taunts now, not just 1 you can spam endlessly.

They just added more taunts so you can't chain it together. It's still one of the three.

After staring at the preview pic for 5 minutes I still don't see any cheer.

there was actually a patch where they fucked it up and you couldn't press an emote until the first one fully ended but that got reverted almost immediately.

Impact: I wish to go against Reginald. He trash-talked on Dade's Zed, so I am curious how good Regi is with Zed. If this matchup really does happen, I ain't gonna ban Zed. I saw videos of him playing Zed and don't find it necessary to ban him.
