That's not possible. They also did it with top base tower, and it didn't follow by who went in. I also checked the video to see if they were somehow resetting the trigger for tower aggro by walking in and out of range, but they don't do that either. Legit tower aggro sucks, and it explains why pro teams still sometimes seem like they can't juggle tower aggro properly(because it's broken/oddly programmed)
I mean I guess it could be possible that only the top purple base tower and bot purple secondary tower is broken. It just doesn't make sense to think that. I wouldn't mind someone who tested out all possible towers, and noticed any trend on why the tower aggro worked the way it did in the video.

i suppose it could be that invulnerable towers are buggy. as they never tested a vulnerable one. more likely its yet another bug. Or maybe another undocumented "feature" like recall -> auto homeguards.
I checked the video again, and creeps attacking champions so somehow resetting priority has nothing to do with it as well. The tower aggro is still inconsistent despite who creeps attack.
I've never had Voli flip go the wrong way in 100+ Voli games, sorta weird they are different, tho Voli's is an auto attack modification so that might have something to do with it

"You have 28 days from the day you hit your promotion series to complete the entire series. This time limit doesn’t refresh every time you play another game in the series; you’ve gotta finish all three (or five, for a best-of-five) matches within 28 days. For promotion from Diamond I to Challenger, you’ve only got five days total."

If the person belongs to a race that's often called such in a racist manner... yeah.
If I make fun of all my friends for stuff like that and do the same for someone black is it racism?
We had this discussion when the whole Svenskeren thing happened, not going through it again.
yeah seriously no one gives a fuck about white european views on racism, if your country doesn't have more than a 10% black population you have no idea what you are talking about.
And the context says that you don't ever say those words or express those ideas as a white person unless you're ok with bent called a bigot. Because other peoples usage of those words and ideas is the context in which you're trying to be all edgy when you're really just saying racist shit.
Is Riven Q also bugged atm? In 50% of the games I've played which have included a Riven she's gone something a kin to "wtf jumped opposite my cursor" at least once.

Is it something that happens consistently enough so you can use it against her? Riven is my bane in top, so if there's something I could add to my arsenal of cheesiness against her I'd love to learn. Seriously. Fuck Riven.
No, I think it's just when you think you have your cursor over a minion/champion but you don't, in which case she Qs in the direction she is facing, which in the case of perfectly timed minion block can be as much as 180 degrees away from her target.
As for the matchup, it's one of my favorites, and she has plenty counters as long as she's not boxbox.

stuff like this (other examples include talon's cutthroat not actually amplifying damage until patch 1.0.0.154 - 14 MONTHS after his initial release - and vlad's pool having the "speed buff" removed or added, whichever it was but really wasn't) crack me up. it goes a long way in showing how awfully lazy we are as gamers. did seriously no one ever notice these things for like a year+ at a time? like, in 70 million active players, no one actually checked to see why rumble had a bigger win-% on purple or why talon wasn't instant-killing people like he was supposed to? craziness

However I usually dislike rushing mobis and Nautilus' MS is atrocious (being able to walk in E or auto range is pretty important so you can hold onto your Q; well actually E range only matters if you sneak in behind because the cast animation means you usually won't catch up to anyone even with rank 5 E), so I tend to rely on MS quints instead for the utility.
Monte, are you doing these "naked" or with a leash? I assume naked so your timers aren't affected by how big of a leash you get, however if you take a bunch of damage on the first camp then it can be safe to assume you'll be a lot healthier in actual games?
No leash. I'm sure it would help but my fundamental rule of jungling has always been "never assume you're getting a leash".
Also, I've been using Smite on the first camp practically when it spawns for a few reasons:
Smite's bonus 80xp plus the 200xp the small camp means you hit level 2.
You can pick up a useful buff for clearing (Frog or Golems).
There's enough time before buff camps spawn that Smite will be back in time to secure them.
So it's basically been Small+Smite->Small->Buff+Smite to start. On less-than-lightning-fast junglers you won't be able to start the buff camp until it's been up for 5-15 seconds, but you don't want to start the buff when it spawns anyway unless you're okay with killing it before Smite is off CD.
Now that I think on it I don't know how vital it is to rush to secure buffs in the PBE jungle. They were top priorities previously because they gave significantly more experience and gold than small camps and were vital to clearing/ganking. On the PBE they give the same experience and gold as small camps, and Blue in particular has become significantly less necessary with Machete giving mana regen.

Funny you should mention it, I actually did buy it the other day against an Aatrox/WW setup.
