Would have been a good opportunity to take a moral high ground instead. But if they took the high ground Riot would have a 47% miss chance... | ||

Would have been a good opportunity to take a moral high ground instead. I don't think it could be read as "we were going to win anyway". It reads more like "here are all of the obvious conditions we created to win us the game, that would be negated due to a bug that had no obvious impact on the game, in a lane that lost anyway thus creating no disadvantage to the complaining party". | ||

On top of my head, I got: 1. Camera angle. This may particularly make skillshot reliant champions harder to play on the red side. 2. Global objective position. Basically the layout for Dragon/Baron. 3. Blue/red buff positions. This may affect the ganking pattern of junglers. 4. Draft order. Anything else? | ||

They then backed up their assessment with the rules/precedent. There's absolutely no need for moral high ground here. Riot is screwing them over, and they are responding to it. That being said, a less... callous communique would go a large way to giving eSports professional legitimacy. Another thing is the whole direct quote from Alex being written with contractions and short hand. Looks juvenile. | ||

I will agree that the direct quote should have been cleaned up, but that's the only "unprofessional" thing I can see about the statement. If you're going to criticize any party of compromising the legitimacy of professional LoL, point the finger at Riot. | ||

We just think Gambits response could have been less inflammatory. What bugs me some is that they didn't NEED to make a response like that. They could have made a perfectly justified response without it. | ||

No, even if they contest the ruling, and they dont like it... the tone shouldn't be "they done fucked up. Go make a stink on Reddit." The tone should be "this is what happened. This is what we believe. We are looking into the situation" Its a corporate press release with a serious (and only) main business partner about a controversial inter-company event. The fact that they feel the need to make emotionally charged pot shots just looks bad. Small professional touches as such make a huge difference. If Apple and one of their main component distributors had some sort of drama, I guarantee the press release would be "a mistake was made, we are investigating the cause of the problem and hope to find a solution." There would not be statements of blame or anything like that. Why are eSports corporations held to a lower standard than any other corporation? The only way for eSports to be legitimate is if this double standard is removed. | ||

See, but to me, it's more akin to the NBA going "The ref sneezed and missed a personal foul in the first period (quarter? idfk basketball), we will have them replay the quarterfinals of this tournament." It's just straight bullshit, and I would fully expect the negatively affected team to return some backlash. | ||

If they want to be professional about it they'd respond without the backlash no matter how severe it is. It's not like the people who watched the game don't know whether or not it was a stomp. | ||
