OK let's be honest. The TL reports on LCS were barely catching anyone's attention.
Pretty sure everyone was upvoting like crazy here but not a single one hit more than 50 karma on /r/leagueoflegends. It was just poorly ran and was not capturing the intended audience. The analysis articles were gaining traction when they put them out. You are actually wrong about them. There were front paged articles from TL. Interviews by Chexx, some analysis articles, I think the worlds analysis one reached front page too. The problem with analysis articles was they were quickly obsolete because of Riot's patch cycles.
Unless you are talking about chess I don't think you can expect a constant increase in views like a month later, can you? Probably gonna be read in the first few days by people who care and then there are more actual games to look at, which are more interesting regardless of whether the game gets patched or not.
Wait, Riot has articles about LCS? Where? o.o

Should of focused on LPL, the hidden gem to the western scene.

No, but it does create staying power in the minds of people, every time something similar pops up in pro play.

I mean, I guess, but saying that the problem (emphasis mine) with analysis articles is patch cycles is just silly

the problem is that nobody actually wanted to analyze the game in a non-twitch-memeable way #ROTATIONS

I'm not saying that's the problem, but I'm saying it was a waste of resource, that could have been put to more use to garner popularity. Well written hype articles would be a solid way to garner viewers. Hell, the fucking stupid Curse hype post, was one of the few posts on TL that got front paged.

It has a lot to do with no replays. In SC its possible with VODs because there is little hidden information. In LoL replays are incredibly important to understand things other than #rotations without spending way to much time looking at the minimap.

I meant to say the problem was that they were writing analysis articles, due to Rito's patch cycles. It wouldn't be such an issue if the patch cycle were a lot longer.

I'd probably have been more interested if the one I watched before falling asleep was a Rammus game and not an Evelynn one. Well, there was a Rammus, but on the other team.

The WoW SHIRNK EVERYTHING BACK TO BC LEVELS BECAUSE PEOPLE'S I7'S CANT HANDLE RAIDING NUMBERS patch is today.
I've watched OC'd i7's meet terrible ends to WoW raiding. Just say no kids. Also because today is prime time to make all the $$$$ from idiots trying to buy early for the expansion. Protip if you're still playing WoW, don't AH this patch. You'll lose money.

why would you play wow any day

Don't forget remove more abilities(somehow monk is now even more simple to play), remove the bonus's of professions(mining giving stam is bad cus.. then people will mine for stam) and then we've got lvl 100 to look forward to in which you'll have to complete a scenario to do a heroic to prove you aren't retarded. I just.. pisses me off the more I look into things the less into it I am.
Oh and the entire pvp system is still antiquated poorly balanced crap and then I read somewhere they want to focus on esports again? How bout not removing resil baked into character then maybe even just giving out gear that doesn't make you want to claw your eyes out doing battlegrounds half filled with the people smart enough to just bot for honor.
Sorry for the rant.. on the upside I got sent to Archeage jail today for mass theft of rice.
v-OH right Yeah that guild perk is being removed btw Cixah. Because of that exact reason. In fact guild levels and perks are going away entirely and they are just giving you most of the perks for reasons.

I play WoW because it is my favorite game to play. There is so much stuff to do! Like build a ponzi scheme from the ground up, have it make you gold cap and then gkick all the people in the guild and sell the guild for more money!
It's flawless really.

Sadly yea. It's fine. I've still got hella cash. Now to just wait till the expac drops, buy all the things off the AH and force people to play at my price!

#ShotsFired.
I have no problems with this.

I find it weirdly fascinating, but arena is probably the most unwatchable esport ever (bad UI and huge burden of knowledge). it's also been around forever, but has never grown out of its niche community.

I spent WAY too much time peddling wares on the auction house. A friend of mine is so addicted he's willing to buy the expansion and pay for my sub so he can raid without pugs. lol
