Baron and Dragon already time themselves via "player X has slain the Y".

Its not like it even changes anything. All it does it save the jungler 2s of typing while autoing wraiths. My give a shit level there is ridiculously low.

This is the worst comparison ever. Timing buffs, which you can do yourself in like a second, vs a program that gives you perfect macro? What?

It times ults too though, and has a countdown on the screen for them.

+ Show Spoiler +

I mean sure, you could argue that you could type to your teammates and ask, but you can't deny that a player who has curse voice and can see everyones ult timers perfectly has an advantage over a player who has to ask, (and have people need to sit still and type numbers in potentially very time-constrained situations like teamfights.) He has extra knowledge allowing him to make split second decisions.

For example, a thresh player knowing he can follow that hook he just hit on the adc and engage, even though malph and yasuo's ults are on cooldown, because he can see they're up in exactly 2 seconds. While a non curse voice user, in the same situation in a solo queue game would look, see their ults weren't up, and not follow it.

But even regardless of what it does, it's just the fact that there's a third party addon, (which is currently not even publicly available) without which you are playing at a disadvantage compared to someone who has it, regardless of your skill level. That shouldn't be something which is allowed in a supposedly competitive environment like league ranked gameplay.

CD timer is what LoL should have long time ago, in dota, you can just click on your teammates and see the cd.
Rito should replace the green dot on the avatar with the actual timer.

Thorin is trying to make Monte and Froggen admit that Nien is a bad toplaner on his show. For 10 minutes neither of them admitted it nor denied it. I want him to play ADC for Coast too, but this is getting really mean.

Hopefully Riot does something about the Curse voice/timer thing. I guess the only practical solution is to put up their own timers on the client... so let's hope they do that. Because having those timers easily accessible like that is an unfair advantage.. without doubt.

You see I was under the impression it was more like what it actually is as indicated by the picture below. Which means its incredibly powerful, because it doesn't just save you the typing time (I agree, fairly meaningless), but it saves you the need to check chat, remember to check chat, etc.

Most importantly it times more than any normal person could keep timed in their head in a countdown format so you can be like: "Oh, Dragon spawns in 45 seconds, karthus ult isn't ready for 15 seconds, we should rush it."



I would guess that even up into challenger if one team had such an addon on 5 players, and the other had it on 0, it would be significantly larger than the 55/45 of blue vs. purple.

Edit: Its just basically one of those things like Macro, SHFFLing, or simply making free throws, that are all things that you technically "should" be able to do, but no one can do 100%, and the fact that you have to do them, actually makes the rest of the game harder.
