And similar posting behavior, as others have pointed out. Too bad we (again) lose a person who actually tried to describe games when LR'ing, unlike most other posters. I am honestly curious as to how many people benefit from LRing in this time of readily available VODs. I would never read an LR thread when I could just watch the video. There is no expert input on what is going on, it's just like relatively simplistic book about what is happening in a movie. I feel like people do LR just because they like doing it, not because it benefits that many people. | ||

I feel like people do LR just because they like doing it, not because it benefits that many people. Just like some people prefer to listen to soccer/football matches on the radio over watching television, so do some people prefer to hear/read about a match rather than view it all for themselves. I used to read a lot more LR thread (especially back when I had a crappy net connection) and I have enjoyed many. The live video feeds and vods have had a detrimental effect on LR thread quality which skews a current comparison. | ||

I don't know anyone who prefers to listen to football as opposed to watching it >>; I can understand the crappy net connection argument. However I don't think that applies to MOST people, or even that many. LR thread quality isn't the only thing that I am concerned about, it's their overall necessity. | ||

Is this because of lack of practice, lack of cynicism, or do they not enjoy power tripping as much as the mods do?? If I was a banling I would have banned you right here and made a funny comment, then unban you right after xD. | ||

Lets me pinpoint down exciting parts since reviewing 4 hours of VODs can get kind of iffy at times. | ||

Also banlings weren't even given banhammers until about a month after page 300. | ||
