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. Congrats on not reading the post. | ||

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. real normal superstar~ | ||

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? I agree that it probably could be more workable than Riot believes. However I believe Valve has much more resources than Riot could place on stuff like this. | ||

Though DotA 2 only keeps non-tournament match replays on their server for a week. Given the relative playerbase size difference is about a factor of 6-7 (the last reported # for LoL's monthly unique players is 65+ million, while DotA's currently at 11+ million), Riot could keep replays for 24 hours and have about the same server load. I don't really buy the "Valve has more resources" argument because honestly that hasn't been true for quite some time now. It might be true that Valve has more experienced developers because as a company they've existed longer, but in terms of manpower and financial resources, Riot's been the bigger company for quite some time (even by 2013 numbers, Riot had more than 3 times the number of employees that Valve did). | ||

And I'm pretty sure ranked players are in the majority of the total playerbase. blind pick normals are the largest queue in every server indicating that most of the player base at any given time isn't playing ranked. i don't know how the distribution was after season 1 because they reworked ranked so much but in s1, gold was the top 3% of the ranked playerbase | ||

Personally I think they'll stay in LA (to keep low ping for tournament realm scrimms), but if Riot and the teams get into an agreement of some kind to help the teams move to Chicago and set up a studio in the area for NA LCS, I'm pretty sure the teams would move in a heartbeat. I have to imagine that living in/around Chicago is much cheaper than living in/around LA. | ||

Kinda funny if you thought LCS was played on the live realm, haha. No, I knew that LCS was played on tournament realm. I meant that for the pros to play on live for streaming or getting a feel for the newest patch before it hits tournament realm, will they suffer with "normal" ping now, or complain so much that the teams move to Chicago. And if the teams move, will Riot move the NA LCS studio to follow them? | ||

Many times they make their name on soloqueue or make a good portion of their living on soloqueue via streaming. In that sense, if they have to be hypercompetitive in soloqueue it might make sense for them to move to where the live realm is and then fly out for the LCS matches on the weekend[though i would think it would be overall too costly to do that]. They would then eat the ping discrepancy in scrims | ||

The LCS stuff was already adressed, but where this really becomes an issue is the Challenger scene since all but the playoffs is played on the live server. I fully expect the Challenger teams to move after this year. On August 08 2015 04:21 Goumindong wrote: His point was more that LCS players play a lot of soloqueue, which is on the live realm.

They don't scrim on TR that often because of how awkward the client is from what I've heard. At the very least not all scrims are TR. | ||
