EPTI think there's nothing about girls that make them inherently worse at games. It's just that gaming has historically been male-dominated. Less girl gamers means less chance of a girl gamer being really good. Gaming's becoming less of a "guy thing" so I expect to that we will probably see competitive girl gamers (I'm talking legit female gamers not Siren-publicity-stunt-girl-gamers) sometime in the future. Heck, I'm pretty sure there's a good number of female LoL players in diamond; they probably just don't draw much attention to themselves.

It is, hence the PBEM on established servers, generally. Blitz games just have turns submitted in a lightning fast fashion (5-15 minute time limit forces quicker order generation etc.). Time limits are there to give everyone a clear indication of when the turns need to be submitted by (minus delays), though hosting usually happens after the last turn is submitted (if it reaches the time limit, you staled). | ||

I can't remember if 1 of them was diamond, but pretty sure the rest were high gold/low plat. @Mr_Tolkien that is true, i probably myself have encountered female gamers without knowing of it. But it still dazzles me, that throughout 10+ years playing online games i've met 1 single girl, that i actually considered skilled. The rest of the girls i've encountered played for funsies, or were failing try harders. Well.. you are incorrect about their ranks. Solvanas - Diamond 1 Jenny - Diamond 1 their adc - Diamond 1 yoonie - diamond (not sure which) ilysuiteheart - Diamond 1 | ||

Complete stranger but we hung out regardless and she's cute n all. Fun to be around. Then today I had a classmate flirt with me. She's pretty hot. Which direction do i go? On another note, girls initiate this on me all the time. Now I'm beginning to wonder how many times I just let it slip by because it was hard for me to figure out these signs LOL #brag? | ||

Jenny and the adc were both diamond 1-2 when they formed the team. Solvanas was Diamond 4. People generally have very poor memories of details, just something to think about. | ||

P v Z on Shakuras, did my two base colussi all in, GG. Turned out she was streaming and when I watched the stream she was complaining that she was trying out new builds (I believe she was doing roach/baneling drops), Moral of the story, I beat one of the best girl sc2 gamers in the world at the time. girlz r bad at gaems (P.S. this was the height of my SC2 career) | ||

Okay, I found a post with their league at the time. http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=3512560&page=2 So like 3/5 diamonds, the others were plat. But they made their hype video when they were gold as a ranked 5's team. I can't imagine anyone else in their right mind doing that shit without a massive gimmick. | ||

If you get initiated on, you better hope you have flash/exhaust or whatever summoner's up, a teammate to save you or be able to straight up outduel them. | ||

Remember, if they both show up at the same time, use flash, and ghost. if only one at a time, go ahead and ignite her passions, and leave her exhausted. | ||

Now I'm beginning to wonder how many times I just let it slip by because it was hard for me to figure out these signs LOL #brag? Well, seems you've got a bit of soulsearching to do ^^ I have a friend who basically fucks everything in sight. The way he does it is by being clear, early, about his intentions, so if the girl isn't up for it, he can say "ok, then lets just have a fun time and neither of us will be deluded". This makes people who don't know him very well deem him an asshole though. If you're looking to.. sample the market.. I'd say something along those lines are wise. Be clear regarding your commitment level. This friend is also maintaining a long distance (~1000km) relationship at the same time... If you have other goals, be sure to figure them out at least partway. | ||
