Oh hey, they're looking into doing longer playoffs, like I mentioned a while ago. I wonder if they would be willing to do 2 5-man groups for season format. 10 man just means more Velocity e-sports and XDG. I don't like it. Also does that mean you just play against each team twice per season instead of four times? Considering no super week and all.
You mean the team that got half of TL LoL banned?
and the team that was #2 in NA for a split? Cuz if so, I'm okay with this.

have you seen relegated teams play challenger teams?? not interested.

I think it sounds pretty cool, but honestly the top challenger teams are just not that good at the moment.
I mean, the bottom teams of LCS are already pretty clearly a tier below the rest and the challenger teams are a tier below that.

Yo those new Mecha skins.
Jaeger Malph/Aatrox. Don't even play those champs and I would pay like double for em.

I like the changes because (hopefully) it means that more challenger teams will stay in for another season, and improve from their experience.
|
The only issue I would have with having more team in LCS is less pool of players teams could just pick up. It's going to be pretty hard for LCS teams to grab other players that area already in LCS.

I think the separation of challenger series makes things worse off for the scene (but better off for lower LCS teams *cough*curse*cough*)
The teams dominating the challenger scene (Complexity, LMQ, C9-if-they-weren't-an-anomaly) have a lot to gain from getting actual playtime against bottom-mid tier LCS teams (old Dig, Coast). At the same time, the bottom challenger teams have a lot to gain from getting playtime against the top challenger teams.
The LCS skill disparity is closing a bit as teams import and consolidate, but for actually helping the western scene (NA LCS this split is closer because there less than 5 "NA teams") you really want to adopt the OGN style of having knocked out teams play against rising challengers during a regular season.

It forces the NA scene to search for and cultivate talent in the long run instead of poaching players

When Coast got relegated and played a season in the NACL, they CRUSHED every team they played unless it was another LCS team, we're talking about Coast.

If they allow 10 teams, I think they should allow for sister teams.

Not until 12 teams, at least, imo.

On PBE before you play your first vs human games you're locked to playing vs bots on SR. I did not know this. Must hugely affect smurfs.

I think it is to test out the new bot tutorial onboarding engine

I'm pretty sure it's been like this at least for a little while. I'm almost 100% sure I had to play Co-op vs AI before I could play blind pick on my NA account.
Unless you mean with no other humans at all.

No, it's coop vs AI. That's pretty smart of Riot.

yea you need lvl3 to play humans now, not sure how long it's been like that but holy shit is it lame.
|
Probably deserves to be in brag thread, but got Dragonslayer Pantheon from yazuki's twitter giveaway. SWAG.
now if only Riot would change his ult back to how it worked before............
|
You had to be level 5 before you could play versus humans when I first started my NA account, which was about a year ago. It was terribly lame considering I was 30 on the Korean server already.
|
10 LCS teams really?
I can kinda see it working out for EU but in NA, meh... unless it means the return of Saintvicious
