Not "Pierce the Veil"? Get with the times Neo.

I'm not sure if I'm going to miss League of Cleavers or not...

It was amusing for a while, but I'm glad it didn't overstay its welcome.

On the Master Yi buffs, for reference:

Old Expected Alpha Strike damage: 180/270/360/450/540
New Expected Alpha Strike damage: 230/310/390/470/550.

So not only is the effective damage increased:

Previously the Q proc was very rare at lower levels. When it does it's an overkill, and when it doesn't you are somewhat screwed. Now it's more standardized. It would be a big buff even if the expected damage did not change.

Continuing tribunal Discussion

I think riot should change what kind of punishment tribunal's can give out. Something less than bans (but with an impact you can see in-client) is probably appropriate. I think people get lots of reports/warnings and kinda ignore it, then when they get banned they go "WTF mate"?

It's cho gaths passive X healed health and 1/2 X healed mana?

a lot of half mana gonna be gained with cho at lvl 18. seems odd not to just make it 72.

EDIT: Unrelated to the tribunal but ban related i had a bug for about a week where at certain points of the day if i tried to log it is said my account was banned until that day 3012. yeah a thousand year ban. and then later in the day it'd just go away. not sure what it was about tbh. it appeared and disappeared fairly randomly. hasn't happened since.

EDIT 2: this was right as tribunal was implemented.

having a riot employee means that they can also develop a standard to be used across all cases, not thousands of individual standards ranging from i will carefully determine the guilt to lol guilty.

There are Riot employees. Warnings are automated, but when you start getting suspensions actual human beings employed by Riot are involved. They are accountable for every ban, and as such there is or should be a standard determined by Riot which these employees use to evaluate the cases that come before them.

Again, the system isn't perfect, but your particular concerns as quoted seem somewhat misguided unless you assume that Riot does not actively participate in their own system (when that's one thing they've stressed they do since day 1).

so again, if there is a riot employee behind every ban, why HAVE tribunal it's entirely superfluous and should be removed. the way the system is set up now, riot controls everything, but can deny responsibility and hide behind the community for any mistakes, as well as not having to pay as many people. it's scummy and i don't like it.
