Welcome to the forum of choice for the President of Riot Games, Marc Merrill!

As I'm sure you are all aware, Marc Merrill is the Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Riot Games, the greatest company that has ever existed. Marc Merrill is the reason we are all here today, Marc Merrill is the reason we are all united on this front. We owe Marc not only our lives, but also our hearts. In the entirety of mankinds history, never has there been a man so dedicated, so likeable and so god damn handsome to grace the very land we walk upon. This subreddit is from here on out, dedicated to the one and only Marc Merrill, and we are all his loyal subjects.

To celebrate this glorious day, make sure you select your very own Marc Merrill flair!

Marc Merrill: A Tale of Wit and Brevity:

When someone becomes as successful as Marc Merrill, it's no doubt there will be people that dislike him, some will even try to go against him. In the race for world president, there have been many challengers, but none of them have come close to the blasphemy of Gabe Newell. Founder of Steam, the cursed gaming platform which hosts the satanic game of Dota 2. Marc's race has not been easy with Gabe also in the race, there has been a lot of turmoil between the supporters of Marc and Gabe. Some of us just want to #MarcLeagueGreatAgain but others do not share that same view. Nevertheless, we, the loyal supports of Marc Merrill need to remember to stay strong, for Marc himself has decided to combat the blasphemous followers of Gabe. We interviewed Marc and here is what he had to say:

"I will build a great firewall - and nobody builds firewalls better than me, believe me - and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great firewall on our servers, and I will make Valve pay for that firewall. Marc my words."
"When /r/Dota2 sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that pick up Yasuo and they're bringing those people to us. They're bringing flamers. They're bringing feeders. They're lacking in 13 years of moba experience... And some, I assume, are good people."

These are just some of the beautiful words spoken by President Merrill, and I'm sure we will see many more soon. Thank you all for being here on this glorious day, and may Merrill be with you.

Together we will #MarcLeagueGreatAgain

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 06:48 AM PDT

As a somewhat new league player (started S6), I've never had the pleasure to experience Lucian's login theme, until today I've stumbled upon it on a montage. Let me tell you, this is the most badass thing ever and you must absolutely watch it NOW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbMCmdSEoaA Also, why did Riot remove voice quotes from login themes? They add a lot of personality to the characters, now champs are just akwardly standing there during loading

I am a Yasuo main

Posted: 30 Mar 2017 07:35 PM PDT

Waiting for the loading screen I check lolnexus and see that their Diana has only played 3 games with a 3.1kda. I chuckle silently to myself, knowing the pain this Diana is in for. I'm a Yasuo main, I may be only Gold IV but I have 800 games on Yasuo. I also have an objectively better kda of 3.2. She didn't even take exhaust , I'll be legendary in no time.

The sound of the champions dropping into the rift makes me snap back to the game. Blue side, looks like we have a 53% chance to win already. I quickly purchase dorans blade , a potion , and rush to the the bush to cover our red.

Within seconds in digging my hand into my dorito bag for a quick pre game snack. A sound alerts my attention. I draw my eyes in time to see blitzcranks hook attaching itself to my beautiful blood moon skin. No problem , I'm a Yasuo main, I adapt. I quickly level e as I'm dragged towards the waiting team of five. Using my dorito covered hand i furiously navigate through all 5 members of their team using my dash , dealing insane damage quickly.

I'm dead within seconds. My shit team didn't help block the invade, but no matter , they wasted blitzcrank exhaust. I ping that information , expecting free win bot for my sacrifice.

By time I get back to lane, Diana has already shoved it into my tower. I use my dash to try to lasthit under tower but the lag made me miss most of them. I also ate a Diana q from dashing through the caster line onto her. No problem, just need level 2.

She hits level 2 first , im a quarter health from taking a few Diana qs while trying to dodge with my dash. An unexpected flash by her catches me off guard while I'm refilling my mouths dorito pouch. I flash away but somehow riots code fucks me and the auto follows after the flash 0-2.

I close my eyes to breath. Death is like the wind, and I'm a leaf. I open my eyes and use my reaffirmed senses to Untilt and rush back to lane. I ping Diana flash fully expecting a jungler gank.

The enemy Lucian gets a double kill and I immediently SPAM ? Ping wondering how they lost.

"I TOOK BLITZCRANK EXHUAST LEVE 1??????"

This message clearly indicates my frustration. Unfortunately due to a mixture of Doritos , anger , and slow typing ability I didn't realize I was already walking half way up the lane. Shaco appears behind me and gets a cheese box combo. I get ignited and quickly drop to 0-3.

"HONESTLY JUNGLER FUCK U DOING "

This shaco has gotten to freely camp all game and my lee sin is busy farming till level 18. I'm already behind because my team didn't stop the invade , and the flash glitch. But it's fine. I'll come back. I'm a Yasuo main.

Back to lane again, as soon as I get to lane I hit level 2. Now Diana is level 5 with triple dorans ring, but she also has no flash. I grin how I expect a samurai would right before he delivers the faster then light execution. I dash through the coming enemy wave , landing a perfect knock up on Diana. I get the auto cancel onto q within seconds. My hearts beating. The dps is pouring in. One more auto and she's down. I hear the sound of a box being dropped behind me and the screen goes grey.

Now I've had it. This entire game I've been carrying the team as hard as I can. But due to a combination of shit junglers, misuse of men baiting blitz exhaust , noob champs and hard camping, I've lost lane.

"Lee Sin: Yasuo - dead "

As soon as the ping comes in chat I react quickly. I close out of the game ignoring the warnings. I go to the restroom and wash off the dorito fingers. I close my eyes and breathe. One. Two. Three. No , I'm not counting my deaths , I'm counting the seconds before I go back and reconnect to the game. This is Gold IV after all. This is not a elo where I would ACTUALLY leave the game. I care to much.

"A summoner has reconnected. "

I let out a sigh. Time to carry this shit team.

Pinging your ult CD when you're dead says its ready even when it's not.

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 05:37 AM PDT

As the title says. I haven't tested this enough to see if it happens 100% of the time or not, but all I know is this happens a lot and has been doing so for quite a few patches now. Hopefully this'll get fixed :)

EDIT: As mentioned by "iArcZ", if you're pre 6 and dead, you can also ping it with it saying "Ready".

EDIT: This is mostly frustrating when you die and you want to tell your team that your ult wasn't ready before you died so you want to ping the CD of your ult to say you didn't have it up

Having "Spectate Game" next to the "Send Message" button, without a "confirm that you want to spectate game" option is infuriating.

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 03:17 AM PDT

The number of times I've been meaning to message one of my friends and accidentally clicked on the "Spectate Game" option instead of "Send Message" option, and then had to wait 30+ seconds for the game to load, only to quit out of it straight away, is infuriating! And I'm sure no one would object to having a "Confirm you want to specate Player X's game" button.

Having the NA LCS Promotion Tournament on dual streams makes sense from a production perspective, but really sucks from a viewer's perspective.

First, I'm going to start this off by saying I'm fine with dual stream for regular season. The problems inherent from the system, mainly spoilers, being unable to watch every game live, and a single analyst desk for two streams, aren't as big of a deal during the regular season.

However, those problems become a much bigger issue when applied to a Best of 5 tournament. Since Bo5's are fairly rare, I try to watch as much as I can. Especially for NA since I'm most familiar with the teams, players, and casters. I prefer to watch them live also, since there is absolutely no chance of spoilers this way. Knowing how a Bo5 ends really sucks, and spoilers are almost unavoidable for a dual stream. The analyst desk is a spoiler zone and twitch chat likes to go to the other broadcast and spam the results every time a game ends or a weird pick comes out. Yes, both of those can be avoided, but sometimes even the casters slip up. Also, the analyst desk will be lower quality as they will have to watch both Bo5's simultaneously.

I do understand how this is a lot easier for riot's broadcast team since the infrastructure is already there for dual streams, this is the most Bo5's they've had in a promotion tournament, and they don't have to do two Bo5's in one weekday. However, Riot has done this before - During the 2016 Summer promotion tournament, they ran 2 Bo5's (REn vs TDK and TiP vs APX) on a Thursday. So yes, dual streams would be easier, but it's not like single stream would be impossible.

TL:DR and Summary: Using a dual stream broadcast for a Bo5 tournament results in a worse viewer experience due to the impossibility of watching all games live and avoiding spoilers in the process.

Also, a reminder/PSA, the promotion tournament starts when this post is 2 hours and 20 minutes old (3 PM Pacific, 6 PM Eastern) with NV vs GCU on NALCS1 and TL vs EUN on NALCS2.

GOD EMPEROR MARC MERRILL

When Dota 2sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems to us. They're bringing Slark players. They're bringing Bronzies. They're boosted

Update on forgiven

States he is Competing in LGC in order to maintain his skill. Also open to offers from any pro league apart from EU. Also states that he is happy with his life in Greece and is in no rush at the moment.

This could very likely mean that forgiven plays in NALCS summer 2017

Second day of last EULCS week coming up: Here are the results the teams need to improve/lock their standings.

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 05:04 AM PDT

So, second day coming up soon, i rewrote all the scenarios to account for the games yesterday

As a reminder: Matches won>Games differential(games won-games lost)>Head to Head>Total games won(This is not sure, it is that way in the rulebook, but the casters said something different yesterday)>Tiebraker match

Group A

G2:(12-0)(24-6) Locked in for 1st/bye
Misfits:(7-4)(16-10)
After the loss of FNC against G2 yesterday MSF is now locked in 2nd
Fnatic:(5-7)(15-18)
Fnatic can´t get 2nd place now
To secure playoffs:
Scenario 1: ROC loses to G2(Match differential is even, even if FNC loses to MSF, total games won makes the difference here (15 on FNC, at best 13 on ROC))
Scenario 2: FNC beats MSF (Match differential is even to ROC even if they beat G2 2-0, but Games differential is better for FNC)
~~Scenario 3: FNC beats MSF 2-1(Match differential and game differential are even, total games won is better for FNC. )~~
ROCCAT:(5-7)(12-16):
To get to playoffs:
Scenario 1: Win against G2 and have FNC lose against MSF (One more match won)
Ok, this is now only relevant if total games won doesn´t count, otherwise ROC needs to beat G2 and have FNC lose against MSF.
Scenario 2: ROC loses 1-2 against G2 and FNC loses 0-2 against MSF (everything but games won is the same, Tiebraker happens then)
Scenario 3: ROC beats G2 2-0 and FNC wins 2-1 against MSF (same as scenario 2)
Giants:(2-10)(8-22): Locked in for 5th/relegation.

Group B

Unicorns of Love(10-2)(21-8):
To secure a bye:
Scenario 1: Win against Vitality(Better match differential than H2K)
Scenario 2: Have H2K lose against SPY or OG(Better match differential than H2K)
Scenario 3: Lose against Vitality 1-2, and have H2K win both their series 2-1(Match differential even to H2K, game differential even, Head-to-Head is better for UOL)
Second place is now the lowest UOL can finish
H2K (8-3)(18-8) To get a bye/1st place:
Scenario 1: Win both matches and have UOL lose 0-2 against VIT.(Match differential is even 10-3, UOL is 21-10 on games, while H2K would have atleast 22-10, even by dropping a game in both series)
Scenario 2: Win both matches, have UOL lose 1-2 against VIT and drop a maximum of 1 game.(Same as Scenario 1, only with UOL being 22-10, and H2K being 22-9)

To secure 2nd place:
Scenario 1: Win atleast one of their series(Match differential better than Splyce)
Scenario 2: Lose both series, but go 1-2 against SPY. (Match differntial is even, games differential is at worst 19-12 for H2k and is 19-12 for SPY, but H2K is ahead on the head to head)
Splyce (7-5)(17-11)
With yesterdays loss against UOL, SPY can´t get first place
To get to 2nd place:
Scenario 1: Beat H2K 2-0 and have H2K lose against OG (Matches is even, but game differential is 19-11 for SPY, to at best 19-12 for H2K
Vitality: (3-9)(9-19) Locked in 4th
Origen: (0-12)(2-24) Locked in 5th

I really hope that I have every scenario right, corrections are, of course welcome, and i´ll try to push out an update after every day of LCS.

EDIT: So, thanks to u/tehsalmonofdoubt i now have the quote by quickshot comfirming that total games won is indeed relevant, so i´ll edit the post soon^TM

Froggen is very insightful on the analyst desk!

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 09:13 AM PDT

I'm actually really liking the passion he's showing and the way he views the game. I mean apart from being a smart player he's probably one of the most consistent control mage players of all time aswell. Hope to see more analysis and/or content from him. Curious what next split will bring for him aswell, hopefully some changes in Echo Fox, wouldn't see him joining another team randomly as he always has been very loyal.

Fun but useless fact: Yasuo has an astonishing 60% pick rate on the PH Server

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 05:01 AM PDT

...consistently for almost 3 months now, and his win rate usually fluctuates from 47% to 53%. Second is Vayne with only a 37% pick rate. Makes you wonder how many Yasuo mains are there, lol

*PH = Philippines (yes, we do have our own server)
