I didn't think people on TL cared about the democracy of r/lol. I love TL because it doesn't have democracy.

<3 Order.

My point is that it's silly to bitch about it on /r/lol and assume change will happen, which a large section of the community is currently doing. To use your analogy, it would be like posting nasty reviews about Yelp, on Yelp, after your restaurant was removed.

If everyone who's currently bitching about the situation (especially the famous ones like Thorin, Carmac, Kelsey Moser, etc.) actually wanted something to change, there are actions they can take. They could support /r/riotfreelol or any of the other protest subs that have sprung up, or they could discourage people sharing their content to /r/lol. They won't, though, because as Cheep said, it's easier to bitch and hope change happens.

Cheep's post is actually very good, and I think it's on the minds of most people who are upset about this situation. Unfortunately, that makes it kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Riven does roll over to armour and she can't interrupt your E, but she can just E in response. You can then Q for the MS boost to catch up to her but that makes her next W incredibly easy. Overall, you will have dealt a little damage through her E and she'll have dealt a little with her W.. but she still has Q.

With your W, you can fight her, but your W has a long cd. It really is not a good matchup.

edit: You don't want Tabi against Riven from my experience. Mercs and even swifties are better. The whole problem with the character is that you can't put damage on her effectively, which Tabi does nothing to help with.

I don't really understand this mentality because you are complaining about bitching, while admitting that the only other plausible solution is a long-term project that will require a ton of work. Saying that there is a plausible, tedious, path to an alternative is not a defense of a bad action.

If Google started censoring all content put out by the New York Times, you don't say "well just go build a better Google, plus people can still got to nytimes.com directly!" That's a shitload of work, and not a defense of Google's actions.

The drama around RLewis is manufactured and kind of silly.

r/lol, despite what everyone thinks, isn't a democracy. The mods can do, and ban, whoever they want.

People who don't give a shit can continue to visit r/lol as normal. Conversely, people who disagree with the ban can seek their League of Legends content elsewhere, and not visit r/lol. But because people like creating drama instead of just doing whatever they agree most with, we end up with everyone flinging poo around the monkey cage.

Personally, I fall on the "not giving a shit" side of things, but I can understand why some people think it sets a pretty dangerous precedent. IMO tho, Lewis brought this on himself through his inability to not act like a spoiled child and get in comment fights with random internet strangers.

Funny -- your example proves the point. Google doesn't censor the NYT because it wouldn't be good for its business. But Google does censor tons of content. It's their prerogative to do so. If you want a Google that will show you kiddy porn, pirated materials, or sites built on cheating SEO, go build a better Google.

I know there are significantly better Riven players than I've played against in NA mid d1 level, and the matchup may have changed since last season, but I personally think it's a very simple matchup. You just stand in the creepwave and hold Q until she engages or tries to cs. If she goes in for E/W you take it, she draws creep aggro, you silence her and spin until silence is close to running out then back off with W to cover you on the way out/into bush. If she engages with Q, silence it ASAP and activate E, then W if she goes in for third Q/W. Use your passive if you can, she has to either push the wave to your tower or engage on you (which is bad for her because you out-trade her unless she owns you with a Q-flash for a kill or something). Whoever gets a gank will obviously fare better but ignite/flash and armor stack zones riven super hard. She will still outscale you if the game goes very long but tanks are really good right now and all that means is her playmaking potential is higher than yours. Like pretty much no matter what until she gets a hydra the lane is just yours, and by the time she gets a hydra you should have something like Sunfire/boots2/parts of a second item or better.

If you are losing this matchup you are playing it wrong, Garen has massive kill threat against a Riven with Q-flash-ignite-spin-ult (-gank).

So discussing the dumb drama is fine, but opening a thread for it is where you draw the line?

Whoa, you wouldn't want to banned along with all of your content, would you?

They're getting screwed by being a closed platform, which they are making steps to change.
