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. Actually if your goal is to climb the ladder you should dodge games on purple side. Dodging does not have an MMR penalty, so taking the time hit in order to only play blue side games is net MMR positive. In that, your equilibrium MMR will be higher if you dodge purple side games than if you do not. How much higher I don't know, but it will be higher. We can make some guesses based on what we know about other systems. In chess, if using the logistic distribution assumption, it takes about 34.8 ELO to give a 55% expected win rate for the higher player. If we assume this is roughly the expectation for the difference in team ELO then dodging every purple side game would be worth about 174 MMR. Edit: That is, your real MMR would have to be 174 points lower than your listed MMR before you would lose <50% of games at that listed MMR, were you playing only blue side games, and our assumption about the effect of MMR were correct. Note that for a couple of reasons this is a very loose calculation. Which looks to be about enough to raise a you one or two divisions (I.E. plat 4 to plat 2). | ||

It's not like people are keeping track of their records on blue or purple side. In order for this to be a guaranteed way to gain MMR, you'd need to first accumulate the statistics for a huge amount of your own games. | ||

It is a rhetorical question that amounts to nothing more than a simple statement of fact with narrow and uninteresting implications. It has no artistic value and no comedic effect. Due to it's simpleness it is neither impressive nor thought-provoking. 2/10 wouldn't ask again | ||

The only reason I can think of them not using flipped cams is that the backsides of the current SR elements that are hidden currently aren't up to par. That shouldn't actually be a problem, considering they could just take the assets from across the map. So something like the southern side of the blue side botlane trees for the northern side of the purple toplane trees when the map is swapped. | ||

Riot explained once that the map's basically cardboard, the textures, lightning, etc. aren't optimised to be viewed "from behind" (although it still seems to look decent when you watch montages like Shake's that play with the camp) and I guess there's no resources/plans to improve that for now. | ||

It's because Dyrus used to do it back when he had a shitty computer and streamed from Hawaii. There have been interviews which explicitly stated this. | ||
