Positive of gold funneling for TT: -Its different I guess? -It makes it easy and effortless to rank up since 50% the games are guaranteed because the enemy wont use it Negative: -No interaction with the enemy laner -Limits the champ pool to supports and a juggernaut/carry -No need of coordination with the team, you just do the same thing every game and wins the one who got vilemaw first. -Literally Jungling doesn't jungle, it just farms jungle and top side -ITS THE SAME TEAMCOMP EVERY GAME ITS THE SAME REPETITIVE THING THE WHOLE GAME -I don't know a single person that thinks it makes TT better Context: -I've played TT since season 3 on and off since I found it to be fun but not enough friends of mine did it. -I started playing it seriously last year and was fun until I encountered this gold funneling strategy, I was duo with a friend, and I got matched with a diamond janna, we didnt know what to expect but the janna said they would just farm and that would be it, by the time laning phase was over urgot (the carry) had 5 lvl over us and was impossible to kill with taric and bard support, we didnt even get a single kill this game -You won't find many people playing TT that will enjoy it or play it seriously because of this strategy has driven us out we actually want to play the game mode again but its not interactive an plain boring if you do it. Only feels good to climb because of people not knowing what to do against, but you don't get to make plays, just stomp.

We're definitely open to adding the gold funneling nerf to TT. Didn't want to do so at the last minute in 8.14 without enough consideration, and at least some TT specific bug testing though. Our standard approach is to have systemic changes like this affect all maps by default. In this case though given gold funneling's been pretty meta defining on TT for a long time we weren't confident in our understanding of whether abruptly changing that would be a good idea or not. > > To get a better understanding we figured we'd talk to TT players in the regions where TT gets a noticeable amount of play. That means a post this week asking for feedback that gets translated into the appropriate languages, with our regional offices then helping summarize and translate player discussion from it back again. If the result of that discussion is that it looks like we should try the funneling change on TT as well we'll then make sure it's getting at least minimum needed testing for inclusion in an upcoming patch (could well be 8.15, if that's road to go down in the first place). PLEASE STOP GOLD FUNNELING IN TWISTED TREELINE. GOLD FUNNELING ISN'T FUN WHEN YOU LANE AGAINST NOTHING FOR HALF THE GAME AND END UP LOSING BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES BACK IS 2 TIMES STRONGER THAN YOU WITH THE OTHER 2 BUFFING HIM SO ITS 4 TO 6 TIMES AS STRONGER THAN ANYONE IN REALITY

Why haven't you considered that lvl 2 ganks from now the best and most viable junglers are not a factor?

The reasons for early game snowball: -Taric + Yi (call it support juggernaut from 3v3) -Jungle lvl 2 ganks

Hello Meddler. Any thoughts on how jungle ganks transitioned from ganking at lvl 2 compared to ganking at lvl 3? - Right now there are 5 most popular champions and every one of them have lvl 2 power spike to gank mid (86% of the picks for jungle) - At the same time the 5 most popular picks for mid (58%) are champs that can farm safely with any form of cc or range or escape. I mean even if you nerf them, considering the nature of the game where the early game is the most important, other champs will arise like Shaco for his lvl 2 gank. I am a jungler secondary main and honestly its just not fun for me anymore. I am playing support ever since.

This is so confusing

basically someone with a silver/bronze account that has basic game knowledge, I mean we are tier 4 so its not hard we are against silver/bronze everyone in the team basically made it to gold past seasons but is currently silver

Sent an invite

Adc, Mid and jungle/sup, we are looking for jungle/sup and top

You can upvote and downvote my comment all you want, it wont change that people dont care about ranked during pre-season.

Its pre season, ranked doesn't matter until the start of the season. If it did then would be awful since everything is broken and OP, thats why people don't care, go play normals.

EUNE, nothing more needed

What do you expect the community to do for you?

Do you really think Riot will read this?

Any build that is on OP.GG or any reliable source

LVL 30, doesnt commit to the game, trying to speak to a lvl 39 who obviously plays more and cares more about the game

If you say you know more than those researchers

Videogames are mental exercises

From a respectable university? I don't think so

After 14 days is perma period, and no rioter is going to read this anyways

Riot is not going to read this why bother?

I had the "autofill protected" and I still got autofilled. Bear in mind that its the first time I got autofilled in 6 months

You guys didn't hear us for months when you launched dynamic queue

Don't you feel like this is alike Dynamic Queue and how Riot kept defending it until the whole community imploded with challengers getting matched with bronze 5 and finally bringing back solo Q back after the many many complaints that went for over half a year? In this case its with Blue Essence/IP/The currency thats free. So it will have way more impact and already the community is melting on it... My point is if you guys are going to listen to the community this time instead of pushing something that nobody wants just for the sake of copying other business models or just out of sheer idealism that this is the way to go? Why break something that was working? You can try to tweak as much as u want if its something we don't want we just won't take it.

with IP party weekends you could easily farm 40k IP on the 3-5 days. Thery made like 3 or 4 of them, so basically 140k IP just from that, I got all my champs up until the 6300 mark with those. then just buying champ shards and rerolling for 5100 IP, it took me like 3 years to get all champs. With the new system it will take me 5-6 years to get all champs (counting the ones they release in the meantime) So yeah it takes longer to get champs now and its a pain because you don't get to choose which ones you want coz you need the champ shard and blue essence to unlock them (otherwise its around 7 years if u get them repeated, even more if you disenchant them)

Reddit and The Boards aren't mutually exclusive you know... All that can be done in reddit, can be done in The Boards too. The difference that I can appreciate from a few users I know is that reddit is more welcoming (and that has to do with the moderation) which is my point.

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/0VmER47s-thecurator-so-today-i-learned-someone-was-banned-for-calling-someone-else-a-pancake In that same thread you can see Elduris (wow he is no longer an arbiter), and Ulanopo. Ulanopo "Defended" or justified the decision of the action taken against that user. Personally I think Ulanopo was really unprofessional because: - Its a really old racist slur against asians? disused and mostly unknown... IN THE MIDWEST (who is going to assume DTN is asian in the first place, and you are really stretching the picture citing old disused midwestern insults that 99% of the playerbase or boards user never heard of) - Do you really think the one who posted it originally was trying to being racist? I know you are volunteers but I will still hold you in the same regards as any moderation team specially if you are being unprofessional while using the boards. My list would first start with being professional about it, take it as a job and not just skim through posts when you are answering (like The Djinn). You are the face of Riot (even if not a rioter or not even paid) in the boards and you should act like it. Your word is taken as truth by most board users and they will defend you to the point of insanity (some of them). So correspond those feelings with professionalism. I have many things I could add but basically professionalism is what is missed on most communities run or organized by volunteers (I've used to play in tournaments servers). Another would be have a clear rulebook. NOWHERE it says that LOLI is a forbidden word and topic. I learned it via support tickets. But I bet some of the current moderation team would ban me for using the word LOLITA even tho is approved by the same support ticket. But its what I mean. My last ban wasn't specified the reason other than "universal rule" which doesn't explain WHICH ONE (I know which one could be but still it was never specified on the post that was given). Which btw before I posted that I was 100% sure the universal rules didn't prohibited since I wasn't advertising any kind of product boosting service or anything: Advertising for product sales, trading, reward programs, or gifting of any kind Advertising of transactional services offered by individuals or companies It was a discussion about buying accounts and I know plenty of it but I wasn't going to post the link of the website. I could still ramble... im tired... I hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears... or at least I get some appreciation for posting this

There is a lot of harm if you didn't find out because someone answered you that you gave wrong information. You are to some extent a representative of Riot even if not a Rioter itself. If I was new to the boards or a new user I would have taken your word for truth the first time and I would have disenchanted my skin shards already. And of course no one but my own trust in you would have been the cause of doing that. You are not a regular boards user. You have people looking up to you and giving wrong answers (like a lot of arbiters did in the past that I saw) just confuses people and lead to making wrong decisions based on wrong information. I never pass up an opportunity to improve though. Hopefully I can make it so that doesn't happen again. :)

I am not saying you guys have bad intentions, I am pretty sure you take the responsibility of being a moderator very seriously. But you are still a volunteer. I am comparing the league boards to the boards of previous years, to the league forums and ultimately to reddit. Something is really wrong with the boards to keep losing traffic, and the most tangible thing is the moderation team. It's really easy for any league player to locate the league boards, its easier than in previous years and definitively easier than going to reddit. Then why people use more reddit? All I can think of is that in reddit they won't get arbitrarily silenced for saying the word "pancake" and they don't go from draconian (we lock this thread because it isn't on topic anymore, we delete because "git gud") or way too lax (to allow people send each other crying gifs when they get banned or get angry to the point of blatantly insulting and yet the posts are still there). As someone that use both the boards and reddit, I can give my 2 cents and point out that the moderation team is far more fair and appreciated in reddit. Only in the boards I've seen people angry at the moderators and personally I am really upset at the time: "We ban you because you called Deep Terror Nami a pancake" I mean what is that?! I asked before when the arbiters couldn't delete and the moderation team was paid and no one from the moderation team answered me and no one from the current moderation team wants to answer me still. If you guys give me an answer as to why the traffic is lesser than previous years that is not the moderation team then I will welcome it and discuss it but I honestly am baffled that there could be any other possibility.

Riot Modi has talked

I would use dunkey meme here but prob you would ban me for it

whenever I read post like these I feel like not playing the game until season is over... rip ranked rewards

I recommend small centipedes

End of the season. You should have got plat 1 month ago

Things like these makes me happy I live far away from People's Republic of China

Jelly?

I guess too many permabans have blinded you to what being a civil human being is. Isn't that like a waste of money tho? buying or lvling that many accounts then buying skins just to end up being permabanned

if you want even games play ranked

{{champion:16}} {{champion:37}} {{champion:267}}
