Papaya of Evil, Public Enememe #1 here trying to clear a few things up (satire)

Posted: 03 Dec 2017 02:38 PM PST

HAD TO RESUBMIT THIS POST BECAUSE MODS THOUGHT IT WAS A RANT. LUCKILY I CONVINCED THEM IT IS ACTUALLY A TANTRUM.

disclaimer, I know a post like this is shooting myself in the foot. Luckily I have a very robust healthcare plan that will cover any expenses.

Hey guys it's Papaya of Evil here to clear up a few things about my transfer from Europe to seven bedroom five bathroom mansion in the Beverly hills. Uh, Sorry, that is how my European language refers to NA. I'm sure plenty of you saw how much attention I've been getting in terms of hate and stuff. And I know, I know. Isn't it wonderful? Regardless, I think you all have went too far.

I understand that I am responsible for at least some of what happened in this process. I admit, for example, I played too well at Worlds and now my old fellows are super jealous of my talent. Okay let's get into it. And those of you who stuck by me? Real friends. But this post isn't for y'all.

I love European LCS and its community. I would never dream of leaving it hurt and so I make this post for you. There shouldn't be any typos because I hired a couple dudes to do the formatting. Again: I love you all.

  • "Papaya of Evil betrayed Europe"

So any diaper-wearing Monster University reject who believes this shill garbage should honestly move out of Europe and into Atlantis. Also if you think I betrayed Europe I did not, I did not betray her this is bullshit! I did not.

If a player claims they "bleed European blood" then their parents don't love them and they have sores on the back of their necks for that gush pimple juice all the way down into their inferior cheap hand-me-down jerseys.

My point is that I love you all. Love you so much. The last thing I wanted to do was divide the community. Next point.

  • "Optic doesn't have a good roster"

What?! You guys are blind if you don't think Optic has a good roadster. The coach let me take their falcongini for a spin and it was stellar! Oh wait did you say roster

  • My Decision.

I admit I claimed to have European pride. BUT if you paid close attention (impossible), I had a Protestant cross behind my back, and was obviously making an allusion to the religious exodus of the 1700s. If any of you had a brain in your skulls, you'd realize it has been my plan to lead a revolution again EU this whole time.

  • Thank you Tarzaned for the advice on this post!

Damn all of you to hell if you disrespect me or my investment. I love you and don't want to see this community fractured anymore. Neanderthals.

Po€, public enemy #1, here trying to clear a few things up

Posted: 03 Dec 2017 07:38 AM PST

HAD TO RESUBMIT THE THREAD BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALLOWED TO LINK IT ON TWITTER

Hey guys PowerofCash here. Since I already was a PR disaster those last weeks I decided to go one step further and shoot myself in the foot by trying to justify things on Reddit. I'm sure everyone in this world already saw atleast 1 of the bazillion threads calling me a liar and flaming me for my decision to go to NA. Here is my take on everything that happened those last weeks and why I feel like this gets blown WAY out of proportion. Please read carefully before you voice your opinion in the comment section. Thank you!

 

Shoutout to everyone who still supports me and thanks for any kind messages over Twitter or any other social media platform. Means the world to me and shows me who my real friends are <3 Sadly also shows that there are colleagues who stab your back for a few internet points the second there is some controversy around you. You lost all my respect.

 

DISCLAIMER: I can't justify everything that happened and I get why some of you are upset. Especially the interview that hit the frontpage recently (https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/3662/powerofevil-i-really-want-to-go-to-worlds-again) was really out of place and I could have done a way better job at explaining what my motives are.

 

1) My All-Star campaign

  • The community always complains about the lack of content in the EU LCS. All-Stars was an opportunity for me to step it up a bit in a fun way without (atleast what I thought) hurting anybody or having to sacrifice practice time. Everyone was eager to use everything against me once rumors about me leaving EU started to appear. It's a fan vote and Carlos/G2/Weldon tried to promote Perkz just as much. Nothing wrong with that in my eyes.

  • When my campaign started I wasn't even a free agent yet. I knew that NA could become an option in the future (as stated in the comment under Weldons Reddit thread) but nothing was even remotely set in stone at the time.

  • "OMG you are going to NA next year, how can you represent EU" The vote was about THIS YEAR'S PERFORMANCE, nothing else. It wasn't about 2016 or 2018, it was about 2017. This voting was for *your FAVOURITE player of the year*. I won and I am stoked to represent EU one last time before starting a new chapter.

  • I'm not allowed to disclose the numbers but trust me, it wasn't a close race (not trying to talk smack here. There are multiple reasons as to why I won)

 

2) "I BLEED EU AND I WOULD NEVER LEAVE"

  • check the contract database when someone tries to tell you that he bleeds EU blood

  • most players who prided themselves with that statement probably didn't even receive an offer in the first place

  • EU > NA? I love Europe and I especially love my German community but who cares about the EU vs NA rivalry as long as Korea keeps smacking our asses. (yeah I know that people should care about the rivalry because it makes matches more exciting. Just talking about the overall competitiveness compares to other regions)

 

3) Flaming rosters or talking about how bad players are a.k.a. "THE REDDIT SPECIAL"

  • "On paper"? Evaluating a team/roster just by their individual players past performances is totally possible but a lot of the times it turns out to be massively wrong. I.E.: Elements/UOL/Misfits.

  • Most of the time you are better off not having a team consisting of 5 superstars. Origen is the prime example. Everyone in this team was extremely talented but we failed to play and act as a team, a unit. No trust, no sacrifice. That's what makes and breaks a team in my opinion. We had too many conflicts because we didn't mesh well as personalities and ended up splitting. 1 year later: Soaz goes to Worlds with Fnatic. Mithy and Zven go to Worlds with G2. I end up at Worlds with Misfits. Random? Luck? I dont think so.

  • "Misfits?" If you take a few steps back (2-3 months): Everybody told us that we would lose against UOL before we headed into the series. We won fewer than 50% of our games during the regular split. We lost multiple games vs UOL during the regular season. Did we end up beating them? Yes, because even though we were not a super team with stars and insane players like Rekkles/Jankos/Odoamne/Febiven/Perkz (to name a few), we had the amibition to improve and prove people wrong. We had a good coaching staff and players who could openly talk about each others mistake. We ended up challenging SKT to 5 games.

  • "Misfits is going to be 100% Worlds next year" I'm not a prophet, neither are you. Ignar left the team, a lot of rosters changed. We had a good run at Worlds but that doesn't mean that it would have been only uphill from now. Not trying to bash Misfits. Im grateful for everything the team did for me (especially my Origen-year) and truly hope that they will succeed in the future but this is my life and I won't gamble just because we had a good run at Worlds.

  • Not convinced yet? Lets take a look at UOL then. EVERY YEAR and I mean literally EVERY YEAR this team takes a bunch of new players which you never heard of and which the parts of the community deem as "not good enough". And then suddenly grab one of the top spots in the league because they worked and improved as a team. You can only be as good as your team allows you to be. Past performances don't mean shit to me after my year in Origen. Some players get dicked and take bad matchups in order for another laner to win. And then they get trashed while the one guy they enabled gets the praise (prime example: Soaz). That's how a team works and that's why those players are invaluable.

 

4) My decision

  • OBVIOUSLY money and stability are important to me and factors I would never ignore but that doesn't mean that a good roster isn't important to me aswell. If I don't believe in a team, I won't join the team. I had different options with higher salary options, which makes all this "Po€" or "Pow€r Of ¢A$H" even more hilarious (makes for a good twitch emote though). Additionally I knew that Ignar was about to go back to his country and play in the LCK. He was a good friend, an even better player and influenced my decision more than you'd think.

 

5) Sorry Deficio

 

Have a great week and see you on Thursday (All-Star 2017 - if you don't cheer for me, atleast cheer for Team Europe)

 

Will answer a few comments if you have questions regarding the points above

As an NA fan, I feel betrayed that our midlaner PowerofEvil is going to be playing against us at All-Stars.

Posted: 03 Dec 2017 11:25 AM PST

Seriously, how much cash do I have to pour into his bank account before he realizes that this is a bad decision? No matter which way you look at it, him representing Europe is an affront to OpTic Gaming, to Riot, to all 138 139 Champions in the League, and to the American Dream. Below, I will go over the reasons why.

DISCLAIMER: The below information is merely my own opinion, but it is also the only right opinion.


1) PowerofEvil's All-Star Campaign

PowerofEvil was the only mid in EU to seriously campaign himself into All-Stars, knowing fully that all of his competition (Luka "PerkZ" Perković) have the electability and personality of a ham sandwich. PowerofEvil did this to us on purpose, not only as a way to spit in the faces of the European Union, but as a subtle hint of his future intentions.


2) The Atlantic Treasonist's True Intentions of Going to NA

The extent of Tristan "Benedict "Blood Traitor" Arnold" Schrage's subterfuge is a disturbing thing indeed, when you actually look into the mysteries of why he is making the move to NA. He's doing it for BIG MONEY, but not just big OpTic money. PowerofEvil plans on selling NA secrets to the highest bidders, which may sound like an ill-thought venture since the highest bidders are all in NA anyway. Which leaves us all begging the question: Why are you doing this to us?


3) PowerofEvil's Trivia Section on Leaguepedia

As seen here and pasted below for your convenience.

  • Used to play Warcraft III and Age of Empire 2.

A game where malevolent demons want to destroy mortalkind, and a game where you conquer and raze civilizations. Do we really want California to be the next Azeroth? PowerofEvil is gonna dunk LA like it's Silithus and he's Sargeras.

  • Aimed to become airline pilot before discovering League of Legends.

Guess what, EU fans? Before he even knew what League of Legends was, PowerofEvil was ALREADY planning on abandoning you all by flying to NA in some rickety piper tomahawk. You never had his loyalty to begin with.

  • Before fully committing to professional LoL, his parents want him to finish school. They still try to support him in any way they can.

Filthy.

  • Enjoys playing tennis and soccer with his friends.

He's not even on North American soil yet and he's already calling it soccer.

  • Prides himself on his resilience after a loss

More evidence that he eschews human emotion so that it is easier to stab us all in the back.

  • His first main champions were Cassiopeia and Swain.

Most people main Ash or Nunu when they first start playing. PowerofEvil? He was immediately attracted to his own kin from the very first time he hit the Play button. A snake, and a dictator.

  • Enjoys playing toplane and support but never plans to switch his main position.

This is the nail in the coffin. Guess what, NA fans? YOU are the equivalent of toplane/support in PowerofEvil's eyes. By him choosing to represent our rival region of EU at All-Stars, he is showing that he will never truly embrace the NALCS. He is doing so for his own dark purposes that none of us can ever know, except for maybe PapayaDreaming.

The Entire Out Of The Blue Team Revealed - Including Their In-Game Rankings

Why do our Nexus turrets deal less damage than every other turret? Structures in this game are a joke.

Posted: 03 Dec 2017 04:12 AM PST

Just watched a lvl 13 Udyr dive on my nexus and the turrets were tickling, checked their damage and they actually deal less damage than inhibitor turrets and lane turrets... Ninja Tabi alone is enough armor to just start stacking HP and becoming effectively immune to turret dives, especially with snowball in effect. To make matters worse, every team comp in league is running a champ that just gets a free shield or shields other allies.

It's ridicolous how we have all these custom maps for limited events, and we still don't have the Bilgewater ARAM map.

Posted: 03 Dec 2017 12:55 AM PST

As title says, the only alternate mode that everyone plays always (especially between rankeds) is also the one that Riot doesn't give 2 fucks about apparently. THey made all these maps created for a 2 week event, and they still cannot get us the Bilgewater map that was good to alternate with the Howling Fjord? bha

Jhin W Bug (crashing enemies) Investigated!

Posted: 03 Dec 2017 04:09 AM PST

I just made a looong video explaining and analysing 5 different replays with this bug. If you want to see it have a look:

https://youtu.be/mfNm06XvldI

(sorry for bad voice, throat is bado)

TL:DW:

  • Jhin has to play on the Red Side

  • Jhin has to have Summon Aery

  • Jhin has to fire W from the Fog of War (fairly close to blue vision though) and hit something (minion/champion)

  • Enemies may not be able to reconnect back to the game at all

ps. Other example of Red Side exclusive Bug (spawning out of base)

TIL that Evelynn's stealth is just small enough to hide in the baron pit

Posted: 02 Dec 2017 10:03 PM PST

https://youtu.be/9Q1Tk3nQEow

It turns out that just attacking baron puts you just outside of Evelynn's vision radius. At the end, I was hit by baron and stealth broke but by that point it was just out of smite range.

Edit: Looking at the replay again, it was the Titanic Hydra active with a slightly longer range that broke my stealth and not a random baron spike as I had previously thought.

Rengars empowered W (and other spell shield effects) should cleanse Zoe's E

Posted: 03 Dec 2017 09:19 AM PST

His empowered W tooltip says:

EMPOWERED ACTIVE: Battle Roar's base magic damage is modified to 50 - 220 (based on level), will remove all active crowd control effects, in addition to its normal heal.

We all know zoe is a tad bit strong currently, which is a massive understatement, but for all intents and purposes, riot need to keep on top of their design philosophy. Rengar got a whole rework, due to him being "unhealthy", remember that? he was one shotting within 0.1 seconds. Now fast forward to today. Here's a small scenario:

You're playing Rengar. You're in the middle of a heated teamfight in the jungle. Your stacking ferocity on camps, ready to go in on their backline. Zoe launches an E through terrain, travelling over 2 camps and skimming you, just as you get the 5th ferocity stack. What is your reaction?

A) You use your empowered W, which does nothing due to it being unable to cleanse the first half of Zoe's E. 1 second later, your stunned, and zoe pops out of vision to kill you.

B) You wait it out. The first half of Zoe's E passes, and then your stunned. You spam W - Oh wait, you're dead. Yes, she killed you in the 0.1 seconds you were stunned, making you unable to use your empowered W. Remember being killed in 0.1 seconds and being unable to engage in any counterplay? Rengar remembers.

C) Your team intervenes. Your support or top lane tank (lmao) stands infront of you, tanking the Q damage whilst your stunned.

3 seconds later this scenario repeats. Nice cooldown btw.

My point is, there is an extremely small window for spell shields, and other spell negating abilities to be used when you are struck by zoe's E. Let us cleanse Zoe's E before the stun, when we are hit. This will not only be more healthy for the game, it sticks to Riot's design philosophy, where there is counter play to every ability.
