The Poker example is pretty apt, because Monte's assertion that perfect play results in an 11 tower 0 kill game is like saying perfect play in Poker means always folding statistically weak hands and that no hand in hold 'em should progress past the flop. Which is obviously ridiculous. Of course its poker. Last season c9 lost 3 games, and in two of those they guy first blooded pre 130 because of clever nonstandard wards. | ||

Which is obviously ridiculous. Perfect play is near impossible. I like to think of it, as how you manage to execute the strategy of the 5 picks you decided to go for. At professional level it is determined by a mixture of coordination and setup. You have 3 phases of the game (early, mid, late-game). Judging the development of the scene, it's clear to see how much of an impact some teams can get by making "perfect plays" early-game with a late-game composition and thereby completely shutting down the enemy team's chances of winning, resulting in those ridiculous early-deny where one team will be 11 kills up with 4-5 towers, 2-3 drakes while the enemy team has like 1 tower, no drakes and 3-4 kills (and those kills are usually random shut downs, when the winning team overextend ). | ||

I take the even stronger approach that Goumindong objects to precisely for the reason that economists (and I say this having done research at the Chicago Booth School of Business) + Show Spoiler + herpa derp lets drop credentials because that's how you prove your point in an argument right herpaderpa Sure, just as in poker, there are strong expected value plays, but that by no means is any standard of ideal or perfect play. My reference to stability is that League is a very nonlinear game, with slight perturbations in conditions having a much greater influence on the outcome of the game such that the notion of trying to define perfect play is very much meaningless. From the standpoint of a omniscient time-dilating observer, maybe it would be appropriate to ascertain the "perfect" or even "best" play in the situation (ignoring the fact that most omniscient time-dilating observers are awful at this game), but that's completely removed from being able to create those decision and execute them in game, where even given perfect execution and instantaneous rational decision making, the tail error in expectation assessment is going to run any semblance of "perfect play" out of the zoo. | ||

Supposed to have higher pay-off against AoE teamcomps during teamfights, but look at Locket's and Soraka's popularity and... well... yeah. | ||

Bullshit. Just because a game is unsolved doesn't mean that there is no answer. And just because a game has systems which are not stationary does not mean that defining perfect play is meaningless. I cannot even begin to imagine why "stuff that happens early in the game has disproportionate impact" would mean "might as well throw your hands up you can't get better" Chess for example is a game in which "there is no standard of ideal or perfect play" by your definition. The game isn't solved, there is no underlying reason why heuristics which work should work, and advantages accrue. Yet we can still build machines which are better than any human, yet humans still have and execute ideas of ideal or perfect play even when using heuristics instead of a "purely rational" search. Now sure you're going to say that "well but we are going to solve Chess" and well, sure given enough computing power we can solve any game like chess. There isn't any reason we couldn't solve any game like league either; fundamentally its just a larger number. And there isn't any reason why heuristics don't produce "ideal or perfect play" just like they do in chess, or poker or X where X is any game.

This is doubly true if I am playing a primarily peel support. If you're not the support though, barrier is better.

Its hard to give up especially since a team that does not have talisman is oftentimes completely at the mercy of the team that does when it comes to making plays in the mid to lategame. Talisman ensures that positioning errors are exploitable or defendable conversely. I am not sure how much gold that is worth but it has to be a lot. | ||

With the more lane-focused supports it's just too big of a loss in the early game, so I rarely play heal anymore. | ||
