so why is this an issue in any non-tournament setting at all? | ||

Thought experiment: blue team wins 100% of the time, purple loses 100% of the time players play equal games from each side, still have even winrates. Is this ok? | ||

How would the game decide that player X versus Player Y was going to have more games as blue side? So long as the chance to get blue side is actually 50% over the long run people will play about half their games on blue side. The only way around this is to dodge when you get purple side, which if the blue side advantage really is that strong (and we have reason to believe it is) is an MMR positive dodge. (I.E. you should be dodging purple side games) If a significant number of people were dodging purple side games then the real win rate of blue side would be reduced. Basically assume that someone plays 100% of their games on blue side, MMR would dictate that they win about 50% of their games. If a lot of people did this the advantage of playing on blue side would actually go away. But we don't really have reason to believe that anyone (let alone enough) people dodge purple side games to have this effect.

Yes, and this is what I am seeing. You pretty much have a 50% chance of being on blue side. But: 1. Since I know at champion select if I am blue or purple, I can, say, troll at champion select if I am on the purple side. Hopefully someone will dodge for me, then I can possibly avoid a purple game. 2. Say Champion X is deemed OP by the community (reasonable or not) and became first pick first ban status. Then the win rate of that champion will become inflated simply because that champion is always played on the blue side. 3. Competitive. How do you decide who plays on blue on the final bo5, for example? | ||

Rough math says +/-14.95%, assuming all noise is canceled on fully blue or fully purple series(which do happen). Granted, this is an extreme, but that means that BBB wins a series ~26% more often than PPP. | ||

It would have an effect on some of your promo series, but in the long run the ladder would still work fine. If your goal is simply to climb the ranked ladder then, sure, in SoloQ blue-side advantage not so much an issue as a curiosity. However, if your goal is to play a game where each team is given equal conditions to win, whether you are randomly placed on Blue or Purple, then it's of interest to be aware of where that challenge isn't being met, and offer solutions. | ||

Shit is crazy dudes, camera OP as fuck, more OP than even most 'OP' champions. Rito plz. I think Riot can at least somewhat fix this issue by changing the camera center position (no need to change angle). Just move the camera position slightly when the camera is locked. | ||
