But Amurrika, the land of the free and where talent goes to die, but makes fucktons of money before they do!

I actually really dont understand all these champion changes before the S4 changes come out. Its pretty nonsensical, especially since Zed was hit with a watercolor brush, and Renekton was untouched, while Jax is getting fisted by the Hulk.

Different countries may have different e-sports backgrounds and history in my own opinion, China's esports scene sucks balls, that's why I decided to retire.

People already know. It's not that being progamer in China is suck. Their salary and benefit are still way better than average salary workers in China. It's just that other computer/esports related side businesses are much more easy, lucrative. The irony is to have a successful side business like that, the guy usually have to be famous, or have to be successful as a progamer first. A random guy cannot make that kind of money Tabe is making doing the same thing as him.

They buffed corki.
o.o
Real? *paper ruffling* Tentative, nothing final blah blah blah. I know a lot of people are bitching hardcore about the recent nerfs to him. Losing .2 AD ratio means nothing. Lol. All his deeps is Trinity Force anyway. Buffing his Q range and lowering its mana is ridiculous. Unless they nerfing Trinity.... but I doubt they are. I dont get it. They make his pre six laning stronger for no real reason. Dunno if u were around for this, but corki originally didn't have an ad ratio and back then he was completely unplayed as an ad carry. It wasn't until they added an ad ratio to his ult when started to get picked up. This was in season 1, maybe even a but before season 1 tbh.
Also, a 0.2 ratio isn't neglible when you can easily spam 5+ missiles in any engagement. dditionally, the wording of the q change makes it sound like it'll be a skillshot with travel time as opposed to an instant cast as it is now, which, depending on the projectile speed can arguably be weaker.

I also don't think renekton is a problem. He definitely has counters and bad matchups; the issue is that the current fotm top laners are all handily beaten by renekton.

http://www.surrenderat20.net/2013/11/red-post-colection-pbe-health-bar.html Baron Buff Q: Are you afraid of the new Baron buff being a little too powerful for teams to close out games if they just rush the enemy base with Baron buff after winning a team fight? [Luzac]
A: First, we've currently reverted the Baron buff changes because they weren't entirely doing what we wanted. We'll revisit it eventually, but just to give a heads up here. Second, we've actually found that without that massive stat boost on baron, defending teams often had a much better chance of actually winning a fight or at least taking out a few key members of the opposition.

oh my god bjergsen probably just had the most rage inducing early game ever, didn't help at buffs, doesn't pay attention to minimap at all and doesn't call ss or helps when his jungler got invaded. Doesn't matter turned 0:4 around to 5:4 in 2minutes and he's 4/0/1

so basically every game of yolo q ever

It's also not negligible when you remember that Rockets are based on total and not bonus AD. If it was only a bonus AD ratio to begin with it wouldn't be a big deal because Corki doesn't really start buying large amounts of AD till his second or later major item, but since it's a total AD ratio, he's just losing a lot of free base damage on the spell.
Practically speaking, it means that Rockets are losing about 10-15% of their un-itemized base damage. That's pretty significant.

ALL HAIL BURGERKING!

Iirc yaphets makes more money from dota 1 than anyone else in China, being untied seems to actually be the best course of action in China
