Thoughts?

Rod Breslau ‏@Slasher

According to Riot CEO Brandon Beck today, a tournament LAN version of LoL is being created and will be used for this weekend's finals.

Maybe complaining to the people who actually make the game would be a better idea than putting it at Teamliquid who doesn't make the game?

Blizzard likes to operate on a 1 step forward, 3 steps back tempo. What was possible 10 years ago just isn't now you know.

Good for LoL

Edit -

To the person above me, people have complained to blizzard, didn't do any good.

isn't lol ftp? The whole "we dont want people to pirate our game" thing doesn't apply. Not that I think blizzard is necessarily on the right side of that, but it's really a whole different question.

If SC2 was free-to-play, it would have LAN.

It's not, so it doesn't have it.

Why do people keep making threads about things that have bee discussed to death multiple times?? Is it really that hard to not understand that piracy is the biggest reason??

They won't give us lan because they fear piracy. LoL is already free.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

Man.. you need to think before you complain. Free to play vs pay to play. Blizzard does not want people to play their game for free and unfortunately this is one effective way to stop it. They are putting in new functions for tournaments as it is but I very much doubt you will ever see Lan for SC2.

To be fair, this is a community site which lives in great deal around the game, so it seems ok to discuss it.

Recently, I played a game in off-line mode when the server was down, and I noticed that the response time was really good.
I have NA and EU accounts, as of recent I've been getting more delay playing on EU (1-2 sec) and never thought much of it on NA, until I played the off-line mode.
The simplest way to see it is when setting rally from your main base to the minerals. Changing that rally between minerals in off-line mode is instant, on NA it's tiny and EU I can click on 2-3 different mineral patches before the rally change shows.

The point I'm trying to make is that micro can be better and more impressive if LAN was made possible if there is such a noticeable difference between LAN and playing on your native server.
I have 20dl/5ul and a rather good PC I made myself, but I would welcome anyone to try out a similar test and let me know their results.

Easy. Just ask Kespa. Did you already forgot what they did try a few weeks ago?

Or to be precise: Lan just for tournaments kills competition because the players can't train with the same latency. Lan for everyone, says hello to Kespa.

You are right no one has asked Blizzard for LAN yet. Someone get on that!

Why is LoL having an implemented LAN relevant? Blizzard exhausted time and time again that the debate of whether SC2 will ever have LAN has been closed a long time ago.

not like complaining at either place would do anything at this point.

There we go guys, all we need to do is make a RO8 match at the WCS finals break, repeat at least 5 times, reach no conclusion and have to scrap everything and change the date to get lan.

Dude you want to play HOTS in 2014 or maybe 2015? Come on dont put pressure on the guy who is unable to even make a simple name change function available for the past 2 years. Their dedicated coding team must only have 1 person and balance team -- 2, art and marketing team -- thousands or maybe more.
