I'm cross posting and responding to a not off-topic discussion that was in the off topic thread because, well, obvious complaints.



I didn't say they won't hit armor runes. I said "they're not just going to hit runes". That would include the kinds of simple rune buffs/nerfs that we've seen before. Here are surrender@20 red post links where they discuss their ideas, there has been no information since then.

Basically they aren't going to nerf any runes into oblivion because they don't want to invalidate anyone's current runes. At the same time they want runes to be more about playstyle and want to change the focus of red/yellow/blue along the lines of blue is utility, yellow is defense, and red is offense. That's quite different from simply smashing runes with buff and nerf sticks. How they're going to do this with minimal disruption (as they say) IDK.

people complaining about riot's intl tourney structure should just look at the western response to how boring a tourney is. it's basically about how far western teams make it, and whether they put up a good fight. you can't really complain about the lack of intl tourneys and fair strength representation while at the same time complain that a tourney is boring because korean overlords crush everything.

unless of course delusional enough to believe that western teams are actually good enough to be competitive if teams are chosen purely based on strength.

Mind you, this was before C9 was eliminated, but I'm not quite sure about this negative western response you are talking about it.

that's what i am talking about. they want to see western teams doing well. if they are not doing well the tourney sucks.

i'm talking about negative response to the s3 world championship relative to this IEM. of course this one is hyped and such with western teams showing good games and wins.

if fnatic gets 3-0 completely crushed you'll see the "this tourney sucks" type of posts again.

Or S3 WC actually did kind of suck because the format was trash. There was also a much larger skill disparity between teams than there was at IEM so we got more stomps.

Well it helps when you pit teams that aren't even top4 in China or Korea against the best western teams (cept TSM ft.regigod ofc)
