The sona was very clearly inting the game. One ? Ping because she was under tower and she started blowing flash under tower, taking CS, and shoving mid when we’re under theeat everywhere else. Genuinely wsnt my LP back pls
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
So exactly HOW does this add longevity to the game? I’ve yet to understand what longevity there is to this. @humzhlol has stopped playing adc and multiple PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS gave come out against this meta. You are actively running the game by keeping mages bot lol
Firstly, I acknowledge the frustration here.
I want to explain our approach from the Designer's perspective.
One of the things that's really important for League's longevity is to have the right amount of frustration in the game. It creates a desire to learn, to try again, it creates highs and lows and texture + variety in the experience. Broadly, the Design team doesn't believe that there is so much frustration in the game currently to warrant a larger swing than what we're making.
The goal for us is not for the Designers to make the most popular changes in the game. You've all seen the "reddit knows balance threads". It's also not for Designers to broadly reduce frustration, though it can be right sometimes. I could rattle off hundreds of things people find frustrating, from dying to fed Rengar with no counterplay, to windwall, to mages bot, etc.
I know it's not going to be popular, but we believe that mages bot with reasonable levels of ebbs, flows and strengths and weaknesses adds to League's longevity.
We are still doing something about mages bot on 26.16. The thing we're not doing is removing them from viability though as we think their presence makes League better.
Frustration caused by your own mistakes leads to improvement which is good
Currently Jungle and especially Support can just decide to ruin the game for you which isnt "good frustration"
If support decides hes roaming top/mid or invading enemy jungle -> well I am 1v2 bot and likely not able to farm
On the other side of the map the same happens for 1 or more players too
Right now the frustration of out of control factors is way higher than in control factors which is bad for the game and will likely cause more players to quit/ not wanna play
Call me out of im delusional but I think thats the way a lot of people feel about the game right now
Being an arsenal fan is being bipolar. Just 2 weeks ago I wanted to eat a shotgun but all I want to eat rn is cake and drink city fans’s tears man what a life
