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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||
