League of Legends tournament site prize scam

Posted: 23 May 2017 01:25 PM PDT

Hello I am Metaphor (Shout) a player who recently won the HTC tournament with my team "Team E Turner"

We competed on a website known as "Battlefy" where they advertised a prize of $100 + HTC Vive's for the entire winning team, yet upon winning, were only given the cash portion of the prize and a "sorry"

Proof that they offered the vive.

Then after the tourney ended they updated their website and changed the prize

https://gyazo.com/cc3fe6c1f6ac0d189f09cc84943e13ec

Here's the email they sent me saying we wouldn't get what was promised due to miscommunication, somehow they apparently messed up 5 vives for the entire winning team with 2 vives being randomly raffled away to anyone who won a game in the tournament (not sure how thats even possible)

https://gyazo.com/b182bcbee93fa1611362b9056fcda2e3

After tweeting out what happened and it gaining a bit of traction on twitter I was also sent this article about them doing it again, and they are also promising vives to an overwatch tournament

Here's someone who has connections with HTC contacting them and they say they did not give them the prizes to handout to begin with so im not sure how they even plan on doing the raffle

A letter from the IEM team

Posted: 23 May 2017 10:39 AM PDT

This is a repost (unfortunately).

The current season of Intel Extreme Masters will not feature League of Legends.

We have taken a decision not to schedule IEM events around Riot's LCS calendar. In the current LoL landscape during the off season Western players are being traded or are on vacation while Korea and China are running tournaments with their teams locked in. Working around those limitations didn't seem like the right way to move forward.

Our 2017 events won't happen to be in a period where pro LCS teams are free to compete. In discussions with Riot it was also determined that LCS wouldn't pause for Katowice. This means that for the first time since 2011 LoL won't be there. I am sad I won't see some of you there next year.

As I write this, I am not sure if we will or will not run LoL events in IEM in the future. Should scheduling events around LCS become easier, I would certainly like us to. ESL will continue to support LoL overall with national championship events around the world.

Finally, I have promised to put money towards charity if we had a less than perfect tournament in Katowice - I will be in Poland in July and I will donate the salary bonus I've received last year to a charity that helps children with cancer (http://naratunek.org/).

League of Legends has been a major part of the growth of Intel Extreme Masters and has delivered some amazing memories.

Thanks to anyone that's watched all of our events, or just one. For anything we didn't get right along the way, I apologize.

I'll be answering questions in this thread as I'm sure there will be some. - Michal

P.S. Post your favorite IEM-related memories here if you have any. Posting mine in the comment.

The guys from Riot Anticheat just temporarily shut down the biggest script provider

Posted: 23 May 2017 01:38 PM PDT

So a friend of mine just told me what happened.

A guy made a thread in the actual scripting forum. The thread got deleted after 5 minutes because people thought it was just a fake guy trying to trigger them. The actual thread: http://prntscr.com/fbbn1h

After the thread got deleted and he got banned from the forums, he went ahead and joined the discord of the script provider.

A friend of mine asked for proof, so he went ahead and added 1 RP to my friend's account.

Before: https://prnt.sc/fbbcpj

After: https://prnt.sc/fbbd4v

He held his promise, and every account that injected the script got banned after 30 minutes and the script is detected. So basically everyone who scripts for 1 game will get instantly banned after that.

So this is just a heads up, that riots anticheat guys do their job. Just not as good as the Blizzard ones.

G2 Esports roster for EU LCS Week 1

Posted: 23 May 2017 11:40 AM PDT

The reason so many players love bork is it is consistent. Reliable, 100% chance it will do what it says.

Posted: 23 May 2017 03:54 AM PDT

35, 40 minutes in as adc when you have 70% crit you are comfortable but if you go crit, every minute before that is uncertainty. On paper it is increased DPS and works. But in reality it does not feel good to play. Players building Bork is a sign of that. What I want when I play adc is a new carry item that gives a consistent damage output like Bork, Maybe an item that deals more damage the less hp someone has to work with burst mages and aoe teams, maybe an item that does more damage the farther away you are to encourage adcs to keep distance.

[KR Inven Reactions] SKT vs G2 "The biggest waste of time in life is worrying about SKT."

Posted: 23 May 2017 07:03 AM PDT

i've played support for a long time and I'm going to give the most straight forward guide on how to climb as an ADC because no one is teaching you this

Posted: 23 May 2017 11:34 AM PDT

  • In almost every patch there are only 3 relevant top tier ADCs. So in the current patch you pick Cait, Lucian and Twitch.

  • What you don't do is get rank 7 mastery on Jinx, MF and Vayne and think it is ok to play them. In bronze elo you are rewarded for picking these champs and yes you can win games with them but that is if your expectation is the enemy is a complete bunch of idiots who won't punish you. Your positioning needs to be at the highest level to pull off these champions and you just aren't at that level. Unless your in challenger your positioning is bad so before you think your an except to this rule, your not.

  • Now if your IGN starts with "hi im.." go ahead and end with "an idiot". I have never, NEVER, played with a good player with this name title because their champion pool is Vayne and only Vayne. You do not learn anything about the game if you main vayne. I can ask you anything about the game and the only thing you have programmed to say is "we have late game". No you don't, who told you this, you don't have late game, you will be lucky if the game goes past 20mins, your nexus will explode at this exact time. If any high elo ADC plays Vayne, it is because they understand the game well enough to execute it. And Vayne is a champ which needs to be babysat and that is something you can't rely on your solo Q teammates to do.

  • You are wasting too much time playing a difficult champion which is designed to be bad in almost every meta. If you invest that time being a Caitlyn 1 trick, press Q when you come to lane and make a montage of you literally hitting the turret, you are already diamond.

  • You get to lane push for lvl 2. Not last hit, push. It doesn't matter if you even lose CS because those 3 CS are nothing compared to the 100 your about to miss later on in the game.

  • If your support is tanking for you, you press heal. Why? because it heals both of you. The reason you have supports standing behind you is because A. they are autofilled B. they don't trust you. You denying a kill is the same as getting a kill because it stops the enemy from getting a gold lead from killing your support. Don't worry about it's efficiency, just press it.

  • If the minion wave is pushing to you, you don't need to walk up alone, you will lose 3 minions at most and you can farm for free after that. The alternative being, you walk up for 1 CS and die and lose ALL the cs and EXP and you will cry in all chat "1v2 lane".

  • Something I never see ADCs do is be the first to objectives, they are always last. You need to be the first one at the objective, in fact you should be the one making the call because no one is going to listen to the support pinging it. Watch any ADC smurfing, the only thing they will do is go to a turret and hit it, there isn't this phase where they go chasing around the map for kills because you need your 16th item, no at 20mins the game ends because they don't have time to waste with low elo scrubs. If you want kills you kill who ever comes in your way to defend the turret.

  • If your hp drops to the point Ezreal can kill you with his ult in lane, recall. You don't need that extra cs for your next item, just recall. You getting a couple more cs isn't worth the gold the enemy is going to get from killing you. And it isn't just for ezreal ult, there are too much things in the game which can kill you, but right now just worry about ez ult in every single game. Because it will probably be a GP ult, a jinx ult, twitch stealth, eve stealth, shaco steatlh, Rengar stealth, Ziggs ult, Jhin W, Jhin ult, Xerath ult, TF ult, the list goes on and on. So for now just worry about Ezreal.

  • How to freeze the lane. Almost every ADC under diamond 4 will have no idea how to position the lane, the only thing they know is how to push. And you can ask them, "why are you pushing the lane?" and they have no idea but because they don't know how to not push, they keep doing it. To freeze the lanes, you need to have less minions than the enemy. When you are ahead, you can freeze the lane to zone the enemy from getting any CS or exp. And this is ideal when you can't push the lane because of the threat of being ganked but you still want to have pressure in your lane. You will maybe never see an ADC in low elo do this because all the good ADCs are already in challenger from doing this shit.

  • There are so many ADC streamers out there and it is SHOCKING how bad ADCs are, SHOCKING. Every other lane has got their shit together but ADCs are literally 5 seasons behind in terms of progress. The jungle streamers are doing an incredible job with how much the meta changes, the jungle changes, the item changes, the masteries change, the camps change, the exp changes, don't get me wrong junglers are probably still bad but they are constantly adapting, changing and learning. Meanwhile ask any ADC how many creeps it takes to get lvl 2, they don't know. Ask any ADC how to freeze, they don't know. Ask any ADC why they are picking Vayne, "i'm gosu xD". Most of them still don't know what to lvl up.

I'm sorry this is long but why is no one telling them this.

Mundo Buffs on the PBE are concerning...

Posted: 23 May 2017 07:29 AM PDT

Tl;dr: I would like for Riot to consider changing Executioner's Calling so that the amount of healing reduction applied scales with bonus ad. This helps struggling regen based champions, namely Mundo and Vlad, without relying on straight buffs to these champs.

This rant is about Executioner's Calling (EC). I will mostly be talking about its interaction with Mundo since I have a lot of experience on him and I feel he has been hit the hardest by the item. But much of what I say can be applied to Vlad as well.

Recently Mundo buffs appeared on the PBE, link, and, as you can see, these buffs are pure stat buffs. Now these aren't major or meta shifting, but my concern lies with the approach Riot is taking. Mundo's issues don't lie in his ability to deal damage, but largely in his ability to survive in teamfights, especially later into the game.

Of course the reason for this is EC. For 800 g you get 40% healing reduction for 3 seconds when dealing any physical damage. If you keep this applied to a 2000 hp Mundo throughout the duration of his ultimate at level 11, you effectively deal 400 true damage to Mundo from the Grievous Wounds (GW), plus some physical damage from EC. To put that into perspective; Caitlyn at lvl 11 with a 1300 g B.F. Sword would deal around 370 physical damage over those 12 seconds. That's more damage, and true damage at that, from an item that costs 500 less g. Of course that's only during those 12 seconds, but those 12 seconds often times make or break Mundo's ability to impact the game. These calculations are done without considering runes/masteries.

With this change, I foresee 1 of 2 things happening. First option, Riot continues to buff Mundo until eventually his stats are enough to make up for EC gutting his kit, and then they have to nerf him back down to the ground. Or secondly, Riot nerfs EC (either stats or price) and Mundo can freely stomp people with his already impressive damage numbers. Neither of these, I feel, are good situations from a balance perspective.

So let's look at how to change EC. There are a couple frustrating things about Executioners that I hate, but I understand their purposes.

  • First, it is cheap and even can be built out of longsword; but if it were expensive it becomes more painful trying to save up to buy it and if the Mundo gets a lead, you need it ASAP to stop them from steamrolling the game. The longsword means that it doesn't feel that bad to occupy an item slot as you build into it.

  • Second, it is applied from any physical damage, not just auto attacks; champs like Renekton and Jayce who are often spamming abilities rather than autos need this or else it becomes slightly more complicated to weave in autos, especially at the beginning of their combos, and ensure the GW is being applied. Also, champs like Jhin who tend to deal most of their damage from long range abilities rather than getting in and autoing want to feel comfortable buying the item into champions like Mundo without requiring them to change the champs play style.

So that's all annoying, but understandable. But, the one last thing I really hate is that its a flat 40% healing reduction. And this is really what I would like Riot to look into changing. I understand GW as a game mechanic has always had a fixed value, but I think it would be worth reconsidering this. For EC specifically, I personally feel that having the heal reduction scale based on bonus ad would really help put the item in a more manageable spot without changing its other features. This allows for a lot more decision making from the player (I hear Riot likes these words) in the game. Currently decision making is fairly binary. Are you an ad champ against a mundo or vlad? Buy EC. No? Don't. With the healing reduction scaling on bonus ad the decision tree branches out considerably and becomes much more vague. Do I buy EC early to deal with Mundo's regen even if the healing reduction is lower than before? Maybe, if you are ahead enough and feel that your build will trend to more ad. Are you even and not planning on buying more ad? Probably don't buy EC, but maybe the ~20% base healing reduction is worth it and you have exactly 800 g after your back. With this, the early purchase doesn't completely gut Mundo's kit, but still offers adcs the opportunity to deal with him charging at them later in the game. Note: there are a few fringe cases where this idea might get out of hand, namely Jhin being able to attain large amounts of ad. Don't want him running around applying 90% healing reduction, but maybe a simple cap on the healing reduction would fix that?

You could also have it scale based on level so that the early purchase doesn't make Mundo so useless in the early to mid game, but then you still get this frustrating interaction where Renekton can hamstring Mundo later in the game with an 800 g purchase and no other deviation from a standard build.

It's not a small endeavor to change a core mechanic like GW, not even sure if Rito's spaghetti code could handle it, but I think it would be for the best. Of course, this idea raises a lot of questions about everything else that applies GW. Do we keep everything else at 40%? Do you change things on a case-by-case scenario and maybe have morellos GW scale with ap? Or maybe just have all GW scale by levels of the one applying it?

Anyhow, what are your thoughts? Did I miss something crucial that makes this a terrible idea?

[OFFICIAL] Gigabyte Marines' ADC - Slay, has left the team for some personal reasons (according to his facebook account)

Caitlyn changes on the PBE

Posted: 23 May 2017 09:17 AM PDT

hey guys, I'm an adc main who has taken a liking toward our mighty sniper, caitlyn. recently she got couple of changes on the pbe that includes:

hurricane interaction removed.

base attack speed down with bigger attack delay.

bonus attack speed on passive.

now I wanna run those down quick and get some insights from others on lol community.

hurricane changes: I get the hurricane changes as it made her very linear in terms of flex and power curve. this item broke one of caitlyn main weaknesses: the headshot stacking. the item made her spike stronger and more consistent letting her headshot every 3 or 2 AA which is rdally strong. also it ruined her itemization as it became mandatory making her build include hurricane and IE, with RFC as the best item to complete the long range headshots. this change will bring new itemization into caitlyn and will spice things up.

now for the stats changes: lowering her attack speed to almost match graves, who is about burst and not really dps... and adding 10% attack speed bonus to compensate? doesn't really make sense... they already made the highest attack speed item in game (paired with PD) to not be so good on her, and as the hyper carry late game, her dps is overall going down as her base attack speed too a nerf.

the attack delay I believe is meant to help her cancel animation into W to increase her mechanics level, but can someone give me insights about the stat changes?

since I'm on mobile RIP formatting

Trick with Garoyle stoneplate.

Posted: 23 May 2017 02:43 AM PDT

Gargoyle Stoneplate passive gives you +40 armor and Mr if at least three enemies are near. It also works if you cant see them. So if you walk near a unwarded bush and you see your stats go up you'll know that at least 3 people are in there although it might already be too late for you...

It could be usefull if you want to check if enemy team is doing a sneaky baron or dragon from inside the pit. Or check an ambush on red buff bush from krugs.

Options are very limited but can sometimes be useful so i don't know if that helps lol; but at least now you know.
