The problem with learning how to play with Caitlyn for me at least was that she's really really easy to lane with. So when I switched to another adc I had huge laning issues, while teamfighting was pretty good.

In my opinion, she's easy to play with but I think if you don't abuse her range, it'll feel like she's very weak, especially for new players. I'd recommend Graves or Lucian for beginners because they are all around strong while being easy to play.

Since when Lucian is easy and for beginners, what.

Graves is terrible for beginers. He falls off a literal cliff at 30 minutes and never gets up. Twitch is a far better example for a newb friendly adc. that or trist.

Her range is one thing, but I also think her early game burst is insaaaane. Headshot - E- Q is bonkers 1 - 6, then adding your ult after 6, and you're basically a leblanc. Unless they have Braum then he does his shield thing and your ult does nothing.

Man...

Pantheon really needs a buff to his ult. Its borderline useless right now. He is still my favorite champ, and I'll play him regrdless, but its so noticable its reidiculous. Even if you ult behind someone in lane they can still get away pretty reliably. Either his ult needs to channel much faster, or the slow on it needs to be waaaay better.

Every game I've played with him since the change I feel like I miss out on like 3 kills + towers scenarios. Its kind of silly.

Why is my friend telling me that Riot released bots into ranked games to see how they would do? Was there a post recently about this on Reddit or something?

Nightblue just said on his stream that he has about 6300 subscribers. If we assume that he had less in the past six months, and will get more at the same rate in the next six months, he makes an average $31,500 a month this year ($378000 this year) through subscriptions alone. Plus advertising revenue from Twitch, plus sponsorship revenue from G2A and Aceskins.

While it would be a little bit of a stretch, I think it is possible that he is making half a million dollar this year.

How old was he again? 17?

Edit: And now imagine TOO... Dude gets easily 50-100% more viewers than NB, and has been doing the subscription thing for years already. Certainly has way more than 6k. Now that OddOne is a professional streamer again, I think he could go for the million over 12 months...

They get $2.50 per subscriber. Still pretty crazy, though. I think Nightblue's like 19.

Watching Saint and Mancloud play against Bunny and Impactful in solo queue while they're all on teamspeak is pretty funny.

They all tell him to go do baron to have a smite off and he does and misses it. Looooool.

My match just finished and I didn't encounter any lag issues, I already see a post on reddit about lag in the new queue so maybe there's some EUW issues

NB def over 17 years old. he's in college. I'm guessing 20/21.

do streamers really get all of the $5 from subscriptions? if so thats ridiculous how much money they make. streamers are ballin.

Loads of streamers comment that they make more from streaming than they would LCS, I remember wings talking about how he's better off streaming than playing LCS.

it actually depends on their level of partnership with Twitch. the first few groups of partners get $2.50. some of the newer waves are tiered based on viewers and ad rates, capping at $2.50. it really depends on what tier he is at, but i believe the floor is $1.00 /mo per sub. also keep in mind that many people sub for only one month, so they pay their 5 dollars and then click to not renew the sub for next month, kind of as a method of donation, or so they can resub next month to get their name to show up on stream again. so nightblue may have 6k subs this month but next month he could easily have 3-4k without any drop in viewers.

EDIT: LoL streamers are popular enough on twitch that the majority of the popular ones probably are at the full rate.
