Havent been following the thread at all in the last weeks since its exam time, so its prob been discussed already. But with the discussion about sandbox mode, isnt the skill ceiling already really low in this game and sandbox mode would only diminish the skill differences ?
If every player can just train for hours last hitting under tower like Bjergsen. He would lose that edge.

I don't think so.

edit:

So the servers are moving to Chicago and they were apparently in Portland for an entirely inexplicable reason. edit: No wonder the East Coast was complaining. As far as i can tell Portland is basically the least accessible place on the coast. You probably go through LA or Seattle to get there

Can you elaborate ? Skill ceiling not high or sandbox mode equalizing the skill level ? Good players wont fail flashes over walls even right now. Good Nidas dont miss jumpes etc.
Sure the general skill would go up, but the differences should diminish ?

Skill ceiling is legitimately high(especially for champions like yasuo) and sandbox mode will probably not really equalize skill levels.

Well there ARE differences in like I said last hitting under tower between Bjergsen or XWX and say Shiphtur. With sandbox mode I would argue that Shiphtur will improve more than the former, cause they are already at a near perfect level.

If I remember a routing map I saw a long time ago there is no direct major pipe from Portland to the east coast like LA to NY would be. It would have to jump to either LA, Chicago, or Texas/St Louis if I am not mistaken. It was a long long time ago.

They really aren't near perfect at all, everyone misses plenty of CS, but more importantly there is way way more to laning than just CSing under turret. You can get 100% of CS and still be laning incredibly suboptimally.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Shiptur's problem isn't csing under tower, its that he is the NA gankedbymom, and cedes too much lane pressure.

Bronze and Silver make up the largest player % in ranked, not Silver and Gold.

And no, the overwhelming majority of players do not play ranked. Lolsummoners' total for global ranked players is ~10.5 million players, while Riot's most recent report for total playerbase size is 65+ million monthly unique players.

really it seems I am grossly misinformed then.

Yeah even if you are like, gold 5, you're in the top 3% of all players or something like that if you count unranked players.

Well since only 15% of players play ranked according to Yangos numbers, that couldn't be possible could it.

It's pointless to count them because that assumes that nobody in normal games is gold+.

It's not pointless if you want to illustrate that high ranked players are an incredibly tiny minority of the total population.

I haven't been very active in LoL lately, but I have an interesting tangent of thought, bare with me here. I just played a game that illustrated why we need voice chat. I was playing MF, pushing top lane and baiting in Gnar. At least, I thought I was. Lee Sin and Blitz were in the intersection of blue buff(we started on red side). They were literally on my screen. So I said, fuck it, I'm going to bait Gnar in and kill him. Only problem was, my team didn't respond to the bait. I had another instance in a previous game where my jungler got pissed because no one would tank baron for him and it became a huge mess because of that.

My point being, voice chat would make this game -so- much easier and fun to play. Which leads me to another thought: replays on op.gg only take up 7-10 kb. Voice chat has to take up several megs of data per game or, conservatively, 1 meg per game. If it's even used/ Dota 2 has both voice chat and replays. How the fuck does having replays take up too much server resource?

It is if you don't know where to put those players in the ranking system. Meteos used to be an unranked only player, but even then he was still ridiculously good compared to the server in general. Granted, somebody being as good as Meteos is an outlier, but when the bar is lowered from potential professional to Gold 5 0LP, there's more than outliers.

Meteos is such an outlier that people greatly exaggerate the story. The thorin interview clarified that he did play ranked and was a top %, just not diamond 1, player, and preferred normals because he would queue with 3-5 friends.
