Only the effect of the champion on the win rate affects the variance. Win rates which are closer to 0 or 1 will reduce variance.[I.E. very high win rate or very low win rate champions]. edit: So in a way yes, banning riven reduces variance. But that isn't reducing variance in a way you want if they're picking stronger champions as a result of it. That's true if you have 10 random players in a game, with no extra knowledge. But I'm in the lobby and that adds a ton of other variables which your "model" doesn't account for. For example, I play tf mid, and am much better on tf then most other champions. If I pick tf I have say a 55-60% chance of being able to carry the early and mid game and snowball that into a win. However there are a few champions that tf is really weak against. In this case, if i'm in position to get to pick tf, my chances of winning are dramatically increased by banning those champions. This isn't cocky dunning kruger "i'm better then them" statistics, this is the fact i'm a bit of a one trick pony, my tf is better then my mmr, and my other champions are worse, so if i get tf i'm very likely to be a much stronger force in the game then the average player, which increases the value of counters for tf that the other team might pick. Same with nafta, if he gets a good role and team then he's in his optimal position, so his influence on the game is likely to be above average for his champion, and when he's on an offrole the inverse is true. Therefore banning someone like rengar, who shuts down his role in particular and puts the onus to carry on the other lanes, which might not be playing their optimal champions/roles, reduces his chances of victory more then having a slightly higher general % champion on the other team. You can't crunch raw numbers on "10 typical players" and then transpose that into a lobby where you have more information on at least one of the players, (and maybe depending on how your teammates communicate.) | ||

Likewise I've seen too many games go to shit in champ select because "they got Kat gg, y no ban?" starts the bickering before a creep has even been killed. I know here we love data and if this game was played by automatons blindly using it would be the superior strategy. Banning Riven keeps the peace in a way that a Janna ban does not. | ||

Not a terrible surprise but it was surprising of how long it took. | ||

Greetings friends, A few days ago I handed my notice of resignation into The Daily Dot and stated my intention to leave their editorial team. It’s not a decision I have taken lightly as my time with The Daily Dot has been incredible. I’ve got to work alongside some of the finest young journalists in our industry, as well as help play a part in their development. The work our section has put out is, in my opinion, unprecedented in the e-sports space. A special thanks must go out to Kevin Morris who is hands down the best boss I’ve ever had. At my age it was great to work under someone that could still help me improve as a writer and a reporter. In addition he has been a great friend and has always supported me as well as my work. As many of you who have followed my work will know I’ve wanted to make changes for some time but have always felt obligated to continue working because of the type of work I do. This past eighteen months though I have felt it quite acutely that I have been trapped into a cycle of misery. The process was always the same. Write, publish, listen to the denials from the subject and then try absorb the abuse from sections of the readership. I will miss the team but I won’t miss that awful sense of trepidation I would feel every time I submitted a piece to my editor. The situation with the Reddit content ban has also been a factor. The Daily Dot stood by me but ultimately it had a huge impact on my work and working environment. I had to pass on important stories because there was a chance they may not be seen by the people who need to read them. Joint reports ran the risk of getting my fellow journalists tarred with the same brush. Important stories pertaining to League of Legends that I have written have gone unnoticed, something which only benefits the people in the wrong. I definitely could have handled myself better when interacting with abusive people. It was a tough year, dealing with the suicide of my best friend, which took place while I attended an e-sports event. At that point the criticism I received felt like an even bigger slap in the face and holding back became increasingly difficult. No excuses but I’ve never claimed to be better than anyone else, nor have any desire to be held to a higher standard. What the future will hold I can’t say right now. I am currently in America enjoying a working holiday and I am sure an opportunity will present itself. Until then I shall continue to put out my content for my Patreon supporters and try and enjoy a much needed break, for as long as it lasts. Thanks to all the people who have supported me and my work, as well as The Daily Dot. Richard | ||

Why would you phrase it this way when he says that he resigned? You might not be reading it at face value but at least leave it to others to make their own judgement free of your biases. | ||

Can't say I'll miss him, but maybe he'll find that discretion in the future. | ||

I think it's quite appropriate, given that it's Richard Lewis we're talking about. For example, note that Richard Lewis has been COMPLETELY SILENT as to whether he was fired for gross sexual misconduct. | ||

That's a fair point, but people don't resign with no discernible future plans. Also I think it's pretty clear that I was just stating my own interpretation of his writing instead of presenting it as fact. | ||

That said, he's been talking of leaving esports forever, even since before the drama, so probably he got some regular journalism job at one of the British papers. | ||
