If you think you need the extra sustain early, then take biscuit. If not, take runic affinity. As a note, I don't think the biscuit mastery is actually working. | ||

I am trying out the biscuit at the moment for sustain since the 7 mins blue is kinda too long for me. Depends on your champ and preference. I prefer taking the 3 movespeed, 3 mana regen and 3 summoner cooldown over both biscuit and buff duration. I don't like buff duration because on my solo queue voyages I can't rely on getting buffs, so if I had to choose between biscuit and buff duration I'd go biscuit. Biscuit feels a little underwhelming to me, but I can see the appeal if you need more sustain. There's no straight up better choice really. | ||

Also the money Chinese streamers make in general is pretty insane. Does "legit 420 mechanics" mean you play as if you were high? | ||

The idea is, that weed makes you more relaxed, so if you're a very hyper-active player, you end up doing shit loads of mistakes if you're sober. Then when you smoke weed, you stop flaming, you tryhard and generally just durr around without having no idea what the hell you're doing. I got diamond 1 this way, legit legit legit legit. | ||

I'm of the opinion that it is a cultural thing more than any actual physical limitation. | ||

I'm of the opinion that it is a cultural thing more than any actual physical limitation. well technically there'd be also women who could also kick your ass physically, but that's not proof of anything biologically. Girls tend to have more pressure than boys to do things that are less socially acceptable/safe/etc. A girl wouldn't be encouraged to try to start their own company or become a novelist or whatever the same way a boy is. China just has a large population so the number of girls who don't care about that is higher, so there's more likely to be talent that comes out than in NA. Chinese girls can't have boyfriends in high school (nor boys girlfriends) or have to hide them so they tend to spend more time online (this is my own conjecture though), so they ought to be a little more technologically able too. | ||

It's one of those things that are so marred by cultural pressures that it's hard to do any strict scientific studies on. However things like reaction time, and spacial visualization ability have all been shown to favor males by a pretty large margin. | ||

If he can link any studies to "how it reflects on gaming" I will applaud him otherwise he gets the AMOR award | ||

After looking at 10+ papers, http://www.iosrphr.org/papers/v2i3/R023452454.pdf is the only one which seems to be even vaguely credible, but tbh that difference seems pretty minimal. (And even this one reads like a highschool psych project -.-) Besides, these low count studies don't account for the fact that top level players are likely to be in the top percentile of their gender with regards to reaction times anyway, and I can't find any research into whether the top x% of males are faster then the top x% of females, or if it's just the average curve is slightly lower for females, but they peak around the same place. Basically all these studies are irrelevant for the purposes of judging gender differences in top level athletes. Not to mention it completely ignores potential externalities, fx the possibility that traditional "male" activities (sports, gaming etc) potentially being very good conduits through which to train reaction time, something which can often be improved by 10-20% just through practice, which would more then cover the difference. Spacial visualization as an advantage in gaming just going into buzzword territory at this point though >.> I could just as easily say "women are better at multitasking so they should die to ganks less" and it would have just as much grounding in science. tldr: wei2 pls + Show Spoiler + Also found this amusing ![[image loading]](http://biology.clemson.edu/bpc/bp/Lab/110/Rxn_Review2.gif) New LCS strat of *slightly* arousing your opponents during pre-match interviews? | ||

Spacial visualization comparisons have been shown in DAT testing (there's pretty significant difference between male and female for the spacial visualization section of DAT). This is probably the most well known documented report, but there are plenty of other studies that have shown similar results. There's been ton of reaction time studies showing same thing. Another thing to note is how normal curves tend to work, 1sd difference significantly impacts upperend when comparing two groups. @amui also cultural impact can also impacts genetic selection. Hunter gatherer relations have also been a natural selector in terms of gene pool. | ||
