EU AMO MEU TIME OBRIGADO A TODOS OS ENVOLVIDOS O TAFFISMO E REAL. #GOKRK

For the same reason champs like Anivia werent picked for years, or other broken champions. Social conformity bias doesnt allow it people dont actually want to learn what is strong, rather just believe something is due to popularity Lux is super broken, but no one will pick her

Not a physical sports fan but Ill take the opportunity to highlight an adjacent parallel to showcase that even sports with hundreds of millions and so many years to learn still fail basic strategic deployment in a way we get to see in games. The NY Knick's won in the final seconds after coming back from the largest deficit in finals history. How? Surely the opponents outplayed them in some manner. No — They just turned their brains off and tried to win faster rather than see through the deterministic win. The Spurs had a historically unloseable lead and decided, instead of playing defensive and running down the clock by just holding the ball - that they would try to get a bigger lead, in league we call this flipping teamfights. They shot risky long range 3 point shots, and opted to try to play fast and aggressive up until the very end. They addee and introduced needless extra variance into the game instead of letting the clock choke out the opponent. An assured and promised ending that would've removed away much human factor from the equation and removed possible "outs". Instead they played for what they wanted, rather than against what the opponent needed least to happen. And in doing so created one of the timelines where recovery was actually possible. Its teams not playing for scaling and against win cons just in a different sport, again. Pushing meaningless waves. Trying to get that extra 100gold from the turret that doesnt alter the win at all. Or trying to get vision in a part of the map that vision holds no relevance to logic, rather just ones emotions. How lucky chess and other things adjacent is to have stockfish be able to laugh at such things and help point towards correctness. While other things still able to hide behind arguments of "human error", despite no one being able to justify the level of errors and that oh so clearly they need not ever exist lol. Basketball is no stranger to loving human emotion and denying strategic advancement, hell they did the same treatment towards 3 pointers at one point too. Maybe in 50 years someone will finally start Granny-shotting instead of calling it the gay thing to do, or be worried about being "not socially accepted by their peers and fans" when presented the option to lean on superiority. B1 me Vi and also pick me Jhin.

Do NOT care. Pick me Jhin

Riftbound actually helped me realize this just now in a heated discussion with a friend and then a lot of ping-pong back and forth with another friend well versed in statistics on various topics. Excited to make a video on this maybe. I love games. Games are a language

Jayce crashout #3 for me this week

caedrel explaining why jayce top blind i fundamentally dont agree that jayce top is blindable, it may go up gold but =/= to winning lane problem is alot of teams dont use flex picks to a far enough extent to really prevent needing to blind, or to manufacture draft states that are winning, its sort of like ok x beats y in lane and works. I wouldnt mind jayce if teams flexed it mid when faced with sion and a favourable mid matchup (JDG did this to BLG in ewc qualifiers and absolutely rolled them) it will always be losing into this olaf jarvan, sion nocturne, ornn, yorick etc even if you are you know "winning" the lane, the game requires you to be ahead and because of its volatility its just not blindable because its in a state where its not highly probabe ENOUGH to gain an advantage, especially as a weaker player or team. This isnt to say stomp lane win games picks are bad, they can be really good! but the probability of winning needs to increase via the pick is essentially what it boils down to, jayce does not do that especially blind, has potential though

I think jhin is quite weak but I think the champion would win slightly more if ppl didn't intentionally build the worst items in the game on him?:D

funny we lost this game so people will use that as an argument rather than poor play 😭

Video collaboration discussing all things Items, Runes, Analysis and more w/ @xPetu is up on YouTube now. Perhaps the first of many. youtu.be/F97KplsxtQc

Amazing this champion Vi get blind picked for years while the blue ninja exists to just hardstop counter her at every single point in pro and lately get to watch games where she presses R only for shen to respond R and laugh as the entire kit/champ gets neutered.

Yes.

Knight Vow theory

Jungle pra mim é a lane mais sem sentido do lol A nafiri roubou 4 campos mas o pensamento do semi é que a jungle dele vai dar respawn primeiro e vai dar mais xp/gold Isso pra mim é um problema de balanceamento da jungle no lol Pra mim se isso daqui acontece num game deveria ser game over pro rammus Mas o problema é que quando a nafiri for farmar a primeira rotação da jungle dela o rammus vai estar farmando a segunda dele e já vai estar parelho no jogo É engraçado esse clipe mas não ironicamente eu concordo com o semi aqui, se a nafiri com essa vantagem inicial não tá gankando e ainda tá perdendo tempo com o rammus é vantagem pra ele, se ela ganka top lá por exemplo depois do sapo, o semi não tem o que fazer pq ele ta level 1 ainda

Item and drafts still are the symptoms of a disease, and most people dont see it as such, so even when they mention it, it doesnt matter. They just started doing it cause it was trendy, while being the same donkeys that used to flame it and heckle ppl like myself and others for doing it. The disease is always the problem, but every coaching staff in the scene just does symptom management, bevause "if the show does not go on you make no money." They'd rather go on stage and make worse music drugging their symptoms down and coinflip variance things rather than heal the disease. Rinse repeat.

The logic is pretty simple - Azir is an auto-attack centric champion already in his trade patterns and he is also a staggered item purchaser, meaning a lot of his things occur at random times due to game flow states. His sand soldiers also apply cull, which allows him to accrue quite a lot of safe eHP in lane, in addition with his fluctuating patch note changes of hp5. In a simple way to explain; if you look deeper into patterns surrounding assumed Azir trades and typical wave base timers you can realize the deficit incurred by cull pre-first item doesn't harm him the way it could harm some champions. In addition to that, there is even likely chances it can close the net difference between himself and the other champion due to increased denial potential of cs and trades. Super simplified notes: - Staggered item purchasers without extreme dependence on the completion of the item are better equipped to buy cull first or second. - Assessing pragmatically how the champion often tends to trade/base at certain waves in various scenarios and comparing that to assumed game scenarios, and then asking more questions. - Sometimes if done incorrectly the 180 is fake as you might lose out on minions you could've otherwise obtained by having a different combat stat. So essentially, if cull's causes you to do any of the following: - Lose trades - Get zoned off the wave - Miss cs - Die or back early then you might not even reach the 100cs cleanly, or you miss out on normal gold/exp from minions you would have farmed w/ a different item. In that case, the promised 180 becomes "fake" — you end up w/ less total gold than if you had bought differently. So in some cases the 180 could even be an illusion and never a gain, which is fascinating. The profit only exists if your farming isn't negatively impacted. Choosing Cull can sometimes backfire. The 180 looks real on a spreadsheet but can evaporate in an actual game due to so many different dynamics. However this last part is so difficult I imagine it not practically be computable in real time by a human player to ever determine when it could happen reducing the EV below 50. "EV" = Expected Value. Figuring out exactly when Cull will actually deliver positive EV (vs. when it secretly tanks your lane and makes the 180 illusory) is incredibly complex. It depends on matchup, wave management, enemy jungler pressure and understanding, your own mechanics, etc. A human can't calculate the precise probability/impact in real time during a game. So while the raw math says " 180," could be lost in some cases, the real expected value might drop way below 50/50 (or even negative) in many scenarios — making the awareness decision a bit more muddy. As I finish typing this paragraph I grow excited to talk about something Riot is doing for the first time ever next week w/ the intro of one of the new items, but that'll be next week. A lot more champions than what currently exist should be buying cull (whether pre-first item or after completion of first item since 2nd item is the fastest secured item in the game and other factors). This includes mages and bruisers, and sometimes even lane enchanters (karma/ivern/lulu). But that's a more difficult discussion that currently I don't care about getting deep into as I'm typing this, rather I'll just throw it out that to mention it's existence and those who could care about it will do so.

The costreaming drama is a diversion from the real problem that isnt a costreamer vs broadcast question but rather pro players still dont understand its a viewers-first sport and that viewers are the most important. Pros have no personality.

sera que algum dia vao parar de contratar coreanos so porque sao coreanos

tomara que isso seja um fun fact e eles realmente nao estao ligando para resultados de scrims

getting touched by chovy so hard he opened my third eye it literally is just hit minions
