I mean, I've never really swam for distance lol

I never put in the time to learning breaststroke or butterfly. Idk if I've ever heard of someone struggling to use their legs. Just kick mang.

There's kicking, and then there's swimming using your legs! I know how to move my legs back and forth Also breaststroke is the easiest imo.

I know the feeling. I know the swimming is good, I used to train swimming professionaly for like 12 years and tennis for over 10 years and I had to stop because of the knee injury :\ life sucks.

I don't see how there's anything wrong with praising TL's current choice to enter LoL and how it's good for them/the game overall but then criticizing their actions in the past. They don't get a complete free pass just because they picked up the LoL team now.

The issue is his absolutely uninformed and incorrect analysis on why TL didn't get into LoL before. Which believe me wasn't because the editorial staff were LoL haters.


whats the informed and correct analysis then
im not saying that thorin is totally right on that matter but I feel like he was talking about the vibe he was getting in general since he's obviously not a member of TL staff

like dandel said he's basically one of the "little men" so he can only speculate why TL didn't do much with LoL until now

apparently very little propulsion comes from your kicking. its more for keeping your body strait (i.e. legs up, less drag) and to help your arm rhythm rocking movement stuff. so if your legs are getting tired first trying to swim for a long time you can ease up on the kicking a lot i figure. I can freestyle pretty well but have horrible form with all other strokes lol.

I hate freestyle. I could breaststroke all day, but freestyle is way too much work for some relaxing swimming. Had to do it for my lifeguard cert though.

a little late to the party but i just wanted to comment that everyone is acting like there is some overlord that posted on behalf of the whole site that league was shit. Pretty sure all the mods that like bw still like bw, same for sc2, hearthstone, dota and LoL. Yeah there were more/more "senior" mods that liked dota and that's why liquid dota started first but its not like they have a monopoly or some shit. I was rustled that many "senior"/"important" mods said stuff like dota was a better fit for TL as much as the next guy but iuno why people act like nazgul posted somewhere that league was shit on behalf of the whole community or something. live and let live~~

It's clearly referring to the popular sentiment of the community at the time. League was long derided as being a no skill casual game that didn't really derserve it's number and if TL was going to get into the genre to go with Dota2 because it was "hardcore" and more complex.

In that case it seems silly to criticize the organization for the sentiments of the community or a few outspoken mods.

It is when the governing body of TL just stood by and watched it happen, unless they specifically came to the League section to harass people, yet when it happened before for SC2 TL just happened to step in because they supported the game.

That's a good point. There was more moderation against people bashing sc2 than people bashing league. Mind you there was a lot of sc2 bashing in the bw section that went un-moderated. Still I don't think this was a policy by teamliquid as much as moderators personal choices. I'm not denying that lots of sc elitists on tl have negative commentary about LoL, just saying that it doesn't make teamliquid hypocritical for covering LoL now. LoL still gets bashed in general sections (capped's three word game in tl+ as a great example)
