Alright, we're going to call it a day with all the Thorin drama, guys. I figured if it was about SI, onGamers, TSM, etc, it had some relevance to League but somehow you guys managed to devolve the discussion into an issue about race of all things.

Enough is enough. Let's move along now.

I don't understand why it's weird or non-descript. It's a word. You understood what it meant the instant it was said. That is how language evolves.

I don't find it colloquial in its usage. Not sure how else you want me to describe it.
I acknowledged it's a word, just not one I prefer to use.

invade, attack, raze, strike, destroy, demolish, harass, I'd use any of these verbs to describe going on the offensive against player/turret over the verb aggress.

you tend to use agress when you are referring to an attempt to attack a position that is usually well defended. so an attempted assault on a turret is a group of players agressing on a turret. sometimes its used by a commentator referring to an attempt by multiple Defensive lineman trying to break a hole in the O line at one specific spot.

Aggress only implies the intent of the action, it doesn't have an implication as to how successful it was.

invade, attack, raze, strike, destroy, demolish and harass all imply that the action was in some way successful, aside from maybe attack.

Like, if the attack was a failure you would have to say "a failed attack", if you're using aggress you can still just say aggress.

I agree that it's not a commonly used term though.

I also agree that this conversation is very silly.


Unrelated, does anybody have any experience with higher elo Quinn mid/top? I want to mathcraft some stuff for her with the new item and could use a little help.

No no, i love you, i just saw you basically twist and change your words 3 posts in a row after people present you with facts. I would have just taken my spanking and been done with it.

I wouldn't call it a common word, i wouldn't call it uncommon either. He isn't wrong in his usage of it either.

He didn't twist anything; no one uses that word. fact: you have never used the word aggress in your entire life, written or spoken.

Capped calling it like it is.

I have a RL friend who also gets extremely annoyed whenever any of the LCS casters say "aggress" on air. Yes, it's the verb form of 'aggression' but it's such a weird and non-descript verb to use. I would personally never use aggress, spoken or in writing, but it doesn't phase me when other people do.

Did you mean it doesn't faze you?

I do agree that "aggress" and other unusual vocabulary from casters aren't really a bother. Other factors like knowledge, energy, and accuracy are more important in keeping a cast enjoyable for me.

Diction is just something that commentators like to incorporate into their style, kind of like when people say shot caller or when the Russian ones say сука кормление кусок дерьма удалить шашлык. Agress isn't a word, but its like how people say aggro. After all "Record of Aggro War" doesn't have the same cheesy weeaboo feel to it.

In fairness, aggress is a word that's very rarely required in day to day conversation. "Become aggressive" fits better in an interpersonal context, but aggress works for me in a competitive one.

So in short, long live king Jatt.

i hear agress pretty often from sports commentators.and occasionally from ayesee a dota caster.

I wouldn't consider it a good thing for casters to sound like Ayesee.

The only upside is that he has a good radio voice and even then, it's not Wave tier.
