i was just referring to the team name itself

I don't think "Ninjas in Pyjamas" is immature in the same way that "Rest in Pepperonis" or "Team Dogehouse" is.

It is silly, but conjures up incongruous imagery. The other two are just memetic snowclones that have no intrinsic amusement. Can you imagine a "Team Lolcatz" being well received or "Team RickRoll'd"?

Although if you have the analytic genius of wei2linguistman you'd spy the racial jab behind NiP.


well, those are also stupid team names

i don't follow league pros so NiP was the first i came up with

I agree. I mean, Team Solo Mid and Evil Geniuses aren't super serial name either, but they don't feel like they were created by a group of 14 year olds huddled up at lunch rofling as they throw out random names.

I also think it's extra stupid/silly/immature because they have the expressed interest of being professional. This isn't a group of friends making a team for funsies, where a name like that kind of displays the nature of the team itself, who happened upon success.

I hate that name so much. I wanted them to get kicked out of LCS so bad. Their midlaner being "Selfie" doesn't help.

Physical sports teams have dumb names too though. I mean, a couple of Australia's premier Rugby league clubs are called the Roosters and the Rabbitohs. How is that threatening/inspirational/awesome/serious?

Nothing wrong with a silly name I reckon, as long as you embrace it. If people were actually 100% serious, they'd make the players use their real names, like other athletes.

I am not a smart man, so excuse my probably very dumb question...

Is LoL in and of itself a zero sum game? I know that ranked isn't. But the game itself, there is one losing team and one winning team (let's ignore loss forgiven here). Is that enough to make it a zero sum game? Or do the ingame mechanics need to reflect that as well?

Edit: Whoooo Guardian!

nope, cuz what if a bunch of people leave the game and then their team wins a 3v5? 5 people lost, 3 people won, 2 people got leaves.

negative sum game
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Are you talking about win/loss number? because yeah, theoretically. 5 people win means there're 5 other people lose. Although the influx and outflux of players affect the game, and I think if a person afk, and the team win 4v5, theoretically it's 4 win and 6 loss?

That would make fooball a non-zero sum game as well. What if someone gets a red card and the punished team wins with 10 players?

Also, technically those leavers "win" as well. The governing body of the environment outside of the game just decides to punish them with "leaves". I'm just asking completely game-wise. Nothing outside of it.

17 minutes 12 Feral stacks + Hurricane jungle Teemo wrecking the 4-0 Akali on Wickd's stream. x')
I finally found a game with the legendary jungle rodent.

Turns out jungle Teemo can't carry Lucian feeding on purpose and Wickd thinking diving 1v3 as Irelia when one's Nunu is a good idea.

Nothing kills the urge to climb the ladder like a good drophack.

Is there anything you can do to protect yourself from them?
