Right now Curse is, via streamers, selling an add-on that gives a competitive advantage to league of legends. The fact that Riot is sitting back and letting this happen is honestly completely disgusting, let alone if they let Curse Voice to exist as is. It doesn't matter that it will "eventually" be available to everyone, what matters is that RIGHT NOW people are paying to get an advantage, and Riot is sitting back and letting it happen. This entire situation sickens me. | ||

Last game we had WW who was literally farming wraiths & red bot (we were blue) while 5 man were pressuring our outer bot turret. We were 3 people defending it and our jax was pushing top. They broke through, killed all 3 of us, and after that they got WW who went to farm double golems, trying to make stacks, that is how retarded this item makes some people. However, the item itself is not OP or smth, there is a certain counter play to it and it has its drawbacks so its ok as an item. So here comes the most philosophical question regarding league of legends overall: Should a game be balanced around people retardness, lack of knowledge and low understanding (meaning that you don't put smth in the game that requires any deep effort to learn how to play with and/or against it) or should it be balanced around interesting & diverse stuff that have their counter play but people need to put bigger effort to understand it. Stuff that assumes people who are willing to learn and adapt. | ||

They don't seem to realize that by removing the incentives for building advantages you creating a rather stale environment. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes and rather look at itemization as away of dealing with "snowballing". By that I mean the difference between slot and cost efficiency. It's a far better way to go about it then all these changes they made in season 4. | ||

Stuff that assumes people who are willing to learn and adapt. To be fair to this WW, WW contributes close to nothing to towerdefenses and is terrible at it. They would likely have broken through with or without him, but now at least he has moved towards being the immortal he can be lategame. And dumb people with no understanding of the game have ruined game since s1, so that is nothing new. | ||

This entire situation sickens me. its not even a big advantage rofl, people still get caught, people still suck dick at the game. giving them a timer next to their map that shows when dragon spawns is not game breaking. alternatively, why dont we ban people who have ventrillo or mumble or skype, since you know they can make voice chat in random solo queue games and get an advantage that way? people are literally, and i mean quite literally pissing keys away like they are nothing. not having one isnt an auto loss, you can still communicate just as easily with pings etc. and i fail to see the game breaking advantage it gives, when all the means to do it have been there since before it was even a glimmer in someones eye and no ones cried about them nearly as hard as people have curse voice. | ||

Game feels too forced into the lategame 5v5 teamfight wombo combo for the win. Been playing smite since it released, if you have a strong early game you can carry it to a win in that game still, a feature which I see less and less in league every patch. | ||

Its so ridiculous i can utterly shit on someone in lane, but 1-2 kills and they're back into total relevance no matter how behind they were some times. Or the entire team is winning but it doesnt matter because lol waveclear stalls the game for 30 minutes to the point we no longer matter and just flat out lose. its incredibly boring imo. | ||

Looks like smth good overall Chat thing is not really a big deal but automatic timers for buffs, dragon and baron is a big advantage over others in low elo. | ||

Havent seen any timers for buffs, and its basically a countdown for dragon/baron, like ive said you can easily add 6/7 to whatever and get the time. And when you cant see them and they die? You get a big fat fuck off cause we don't know either. On April 26 2014 23:52 M2 wrote: But everyone will have this? Thats what I understood it's more or less senseless crying from people who think it takes a shitload of time and effort to add 5/6/7 to whatever they're doing. never had a problem doing it on my way to a camp or while i'm doing a camp. alot of players will just type it out regardless anyway | ||
