Spicy Rice (NA)
: I like how suddenly, because ryze was played in LCS, he's now suddenly broken. Yet 2 months back, people were dodging and calling me a troll for playing ryze.... Now, I won't say that he isn't strong, because he is, but he does have a glaring weakness, mainly that his kit is targeted, except for q, meaning if you aren't in his range, he can't do jack to you. And considering he has a short range (for a mage), it becomes pretty simple to beat the crap out of him. The main problem with ryze, imo, is conq giving him lots of healing and extra damage. The healing is being reduced for ranged champs next patch, so now we just need to see if they will also make it harder for ranged champs to stack. EDIT: Also, MR itemization is honestly pretty shit atm. I'd rather that Riot focus on making MR items worth buying before looking to directly nerf mages, so that ap champs don't get double whammied
iamthegoatofwar (NA)
in > The Ryze Problem
OP's response is correct. New conq seems to have pushed ryze a bit over the edge. I remember one of his reworks basically gave him spell vamp on all spells and AOE damage with em.

Hot topics that get the most views/comments are the ones that will show up in the hot feed. Everything else is moot anyway. I rarely pay attention to threads based on upvotes since circlejerking is extremely prevalent on these boards. At the very least, downvoting should be eliminated. I'm tired of seeing posts by Moderators and Riot staff get downvoted into oblivion by the ignorant mob so I have to click to see what they're saying. I'm sure it's annoying to them as well especially when they're spending the time to write a thoughtful response, which is more than you see from 90% of the upvoted threads on these boards.

: One person is nowhere near enough though. Plus, players really can't be trusted to determine intentional feeding - based on threads here and on reddit/elsewhere. People call things "inting" when they really are obviously not inting, and people call things "fine" when they're obviously griefing. Unfortunately, having players involved in this process beyond reporting isn't really appropriate, because it will result in innocent players getting punished, and guilty players getting off because "they were memeing".
iamthegoatofwar (NA)
in > Please Bring back Tribunal
I would like to intervene here and say both of you can win honestly. Riot's mistake in rewards was you had to judge "accurately" AKA going with the crowd period instead of giving your honest opinion. This lead to a system where people wouldn't bother reading at all and throw out the guilty verdict. The one thing a bot would be capable of doing in this case to prevent abuse but still allow for people to be honest is figure out who would likely be bullshitting about actually reading the case before answering. 1.Did they even scroll the chat logs down? 2.How long did it take them to scroll the chat logs down. 3.Based off the amount of text is it suspicious they scrolled them down and read it that quickly? 4.Perhaps throw in some obvious "In the clear cases" where someone did literally nothing wrong to further and easier catch bots. At this point you'd have a functional system that rewards participants and if someone were banned from participating in it they could appeal directly to riot and should have the right to ask at the very least if it was rule number 4 that triggered it and be able to explain their verdict from there.

: True. I forgot Sona got that, actually. In that case I don't really have anything to say against it. I'm mostly in favor of the Q change because she can *lose* DPS in late-game fights by pressing it. Generally using a damaging ability shouldn't make you do less damage than without it, unless you miss the ability or other issues arise from it, since, you know, that feels like shit.
iamthegoatofwar (NA)
in > Caitlyn Much Needed Change Riot Read!
ok mind if I kinda middle ground it and say rather than make cast speed scale with AS perhaps amp the damage of it slightly based off AS? Still gives time for it to be dodged and they won't have to worry about the casting animation fucking things up. As for the bar thing it might be a good idea if only cait can see said bar as well to help prevent clutter. Headshot while dealing nice damage isn't as big a deal to track like annie stun, or jhin shot 4.

I would find it highly unlikely that anyone on these boards plays or has played over there. I also find it highly unlikely that koreans who are noted for their love of much more tactical games (starcraft) would enjoy a shorter match of league where you mostly have to re-act fast and that's it.

iamthegoatofwar (NA)

Realistically? Nothing. They can't take any measures to counter it. The only thing they could MAYBE do is ban the bots upon the script being detected, but that brings another problem of script writers being able to narrow down what triggered it. Thus why riot does ban waves on bot accounts. I'm sure some riot fan might come in here and say "give them time" or whatever but from a completely realistic stance those bots are basically there to stay. The game is too simple to code a bot to basically int in and even if they consider that a counter measure of "Oh we can just ban them when they reach XYZ via our own ban bot" There's going def be false positives occasionally.

Not technically botting (which is why it was used for so long in EVE), but very much falling foul of the spirit of the anti-botting rules (and it was eventually banned from use as a 3rd party app). Well given how at least 2 game companies I know of (Riot and Facepunch) said that now they have implemented XYZ code they can actually use it as ground work for other code meant to be related to it. In both cases it was related to the ammo system. Riot used graves if I recall right after the rework to be a sort of ground code for jhin's ammo system. Face punch added a MGL (Basically a 6 shot rotating Grenade launcher) which loaded the rounds one at a time, and then used said code to rework and make shells load into 2 of the shotguns one at a time up to the capacity of the weapon in question. This is being said and considered relevant cause now that I have an idea as to what I would look for programing wise for the ground work of it that makes it entirely relevant that someone who knew about coding and understood THAT coding well enough could actually modify it for such a use. I imagine there are also other examples of such coding as well. Though I'm not sure we'd be allowed to discuss all types of them here despite them being interesting to look at for possibilities of which ones they could be.

Operating under the assumption he's telling the truth if riot (Being onestep behind basically as always) has the tech to detect if players are bots via in-game actions, then logically it is possible that the people making the programs would have systems to possibly detect non-bots. In this case where we're talking about just sheer computer code and not a system that learns "text behaviors" but rather "gameplay behaviors" that a computer can very easily learn about it's quite possible that this a new a thing.

To be fair just because something can not be killed does not mean you can't make something to give you an edge in surviving vs it.

Part of the reason I desire Eternals is, strangely, because they have a price attached to them. It's more unique that way, and I enjoy being more unique.

I've looked into it a bit a while back and yes basically having "exclusive stuff" able to be bought and rubbed in the faces of those that don't have it make it sell better. Fortnite is an example of this.

: I would say most of the time (cause exceptions always exist) Jinx has a weak early. levels 1-3 is when she gets stomped the hardest (unless she's ruined differently than a reg adc). Her** support** is what wins the lane and gets her to mid game. In my opinion certain tanky supports suit her best except for braum. Hard cc types that can push them past, or hold them to, a certain line so she can place traps and chain the cc. When laning with most other supports, trapping is difficult, and thus the lane suffers. It still falls mostly to the support to make the lane work even in those instances. If you want to beat jinx, make those early early ganks and keep her shut down in lane. Then, unless your team is boosted, you should be able to group and mow down objectives without her making an impact in the fight. Again, in my opinion, Jinx is a niche pick. If she has the right support, and the other team lacks jg presence, she can get out of control by mid game. If that same jinx keeps it together and groups then she can be unstoppable throughout the match. Randuin's and tabi are a must for going against a jinx. CC is a must for going against a Jinx. When you decide to fight her, commit 100% to getting on top of her and bursting her down. There can be no maybes.

in > Is it me, or Jinx is too much of a carry?
Question why is braum exempt from this? Being able to jump to and defend a jinx getting caught, or landing a Q which has a massive slow to throw her traps and then auto the target for the stun sounds like a good combo to me.

The way I see it there are two options and I've always liked option 2 more for overall game health. 1. I wait possibly up to 5 minutes and everyone gets a role they at least fucking picked. 2. I wait one minute and possibly have myself/someone else get autofilled into roles they do not want and this also raises the odds of them trolling and the like.

If so could kayn actually be the one who could save us from the darkin in the world? After all the darkin are bound to their weapons but if kayn can break that bond and kill the darkin that means he could stop them and finally give them death. I saw on the Q&A for Kayn that if Rhaast loses to Kayn he goes into a sleeper mode until Kayn dies then he wakes up. I think Kayn isnt sleeping when he dies I think Rhaast just isnt sure that he killed him or not due to him being his first host and all. Because when the Darkin body dies the host doesnt return.
iamthegoatofwar (NA)
in > Rhaast deserves lore
hmmm alright...Still bugs me cause the way they talk about it in game he straight rips rhaast's soul from the scythe which would effectively mean he dies. Sleeping for kayn may have been the wrong word but he's basically in an endless limbo till he dies.

There's also something else I'd like cleared up perhaps not in lore but an understanding of the what ifs. It's made clear that if rhaast takes over kayn then kayn is basically just "sleeping" or something to that effect. But if kayn takes over rhaast since he "expels" him from the scythe does that mean that rhaast is truly dead and never coming back? If so could kayn actually be the one who could save us from the darkin in the world?

: And I said you were doing fine in objectives it seems. But, again, it comes down to the gold that you're taking way too much of. 6 assists is unacceptable given how many kills there were. You were ahead but you left your team too far behind. When ganking, try to pass off the kills to the laner, that way you don't have to focus on that lane as much anymore and can instead pay more attention to the lanes that aren't doing as good.
iamthegoatofwar (NA)
in > Ranked in this game is a literal coinflip
Honestly I must counter-argue this and state in lower elos generally you can't count on others to carry, only yourself. Passing kills to your laners tends to be a good way to shoot yourself in the foot. From the looks of it with you stating he has good objective play I'd say he's making the right choice. The only issue I could see is it tilting his team-mates. I recall once a long time ago on old kata I was doing extremely well like stupidly well and got everyone other than top pissed at me for having 20 kills out of the team's 25 or so at less than 20 minutes in. They got butt-hurt cause they couldn't be the heroes they wanted to be.
