Faker Finally Played Again After 31 Days of Rest Due to Injury, How's His Health Now?

Any news if he completely healed? Hopefully he's on form come this playoffs. He could probably rest again since their pretty much locked in at playoffs.

Seeing news on this sub is cool and all but some artwork couldn't hurt, by yours truly!

How's your experience been? Any resources out there you've found?

So far I've learned Morde is obnoxious.

Why is the only Jax nerf an E CD increase and a useless mana cost change 😭

League (and mobas in general) are more toxic than other games, which is already a pretty high bar.

The primary reason is the large number and wide variety of skills needed combined with the snowball nature of the game. But let's talk about those skills.

• cs
• Warding for lane
• Dodging skillshots
• Landing skillshots
• Jungle tracking
• Wave management
• Matchup knowledge
• Objective setup
• Team fighting (could be broken down into multiple styles)
• Lane assignments
• Knowing when to farm or sacrifice farm
• Warding for objectives
• Communication
• Managing tilt
• Influence on team morale
• Item builds
• Suvival
• Knowing when to die
• Adaptability to game state
• Adaptability to teammates

I'm sure you could easily triple the size of this list. Naturally you're going to pay more attention to some skills over others, as will everyone else. And of course you'll be better at the ones you pay more attention to.

Imagine rating yourself on each of those skills 1-10.

Now you're thrown onto a team that likely has the same overall skill level as you, if you add those all up. What are the odds that the skills are in the same places? Across four other people? You're almost certainly paying less attention to some of the skills where your teammates are better than you.

The end result is that nearly everyone you play with looks worse than you. Likely much worse.

There's some variance between games, sure. This could just be a bad game for them. But... probably more often it's their average game. More often you're just not able to see how they win games.

So keep this in mind next time you think everyone in your game is terrible. They're probably able to make up for it somehow if you let them, even if you don't see it.

They end up losing the fight but seeing these 2 fights side by side was pretty cool to see. Original Insec Play vs Closer's Insec Play

Who let the dogs out?

There are two big problems with drafting in solo queue right now. One is that if you're flexible and/or pick to help the team comp, you're likely to be dodged. Two is that dodges are a horrible user experience. Nobody wants to sit in 2-3 separate queues for ten minutes going through drafts that get dodged if you counter the enemy team too hard. Nobody wants to get their off meta champion banned because they showed it in the previous champ select.

Drafting is 100% part of the game and should be treated as such. The people "winning" a draft should get some kind of LP, whether that's through playing a game where they have an advantage, or just straight LP for a dodge or afk.

Dodges and afks should lose full LP, and that LP should be distributed to the opposing team. If you queue up for a game, play it.

That's all. I might post some more over the coming days.

Late due to a hectic week. I should automate a bot to post articles from the site.

Every other instance still sees the Week 2 Day 3 post as pinned, and cannot find the "Introduction" thread even when I directly search for it.

I manually appointed an alt on lemmy.world to at least fix the pins, but I'm not going to do that for 500+ instances.

Any admins have any ideas what's going on, or how I can "force" an outgoing federation update?

Riot quietly released this banger a week ago. As a big Future Bass fan I love this song.

"This patch is mostly focused on stabilization as it will be a 3 week patch and let the meta play out

AP Shiv is overtuned on a few cases (LB, etc.), but ~balanced on other others vs other options (Zoe, Teemo, etc.)

We're nerfing AP minion ratio and long distance jump charge"

"For 13.14 in the future, we are looking at role power through item choice structure and power curves for AD mythics (IE weak, Gale strong, Tri Force ADC +Top)

AD's are spiking too hard on 1 item generally & scaling through kits. This is disrupting other role power curves too"

"We're looking to address these role considerations through a combination of item and champion changes (to top lane in particular).

Other things we're aiming for 13.14 are K'Sante anti-pro skew work (might slip though), some excitement work for Xerath, Zyra" - https://twitter.com/RiotPhroxzon/status/1671247444028583936

The subreddit has weeks where all non-esports news is drowned out by dozens of threads discussing individual matches.

I know from discussions that there are also many Redditors who hate anything esports related and would prefer a cleaner subreddit, and I'll assume that can be extrapolated to Lemmy.

What should be a good compromise? Is a weekly pinned esports megathread useful? Do you prefer to have all the match discussion posts so there is at least some activity?

I don't think Lemmy supports polls yet, so let me know in the comments what you think.
