The Derrit

i'm not debating that if you're the best you can do it. my point is that pre-1300ish there's really no distinction between good or bad players through the elo system, thus creating the aforementioned crapshoot. i also want to note that i think the most competitive and competently minded games i played in LOL came at summoner level 27 or so, where people still take it seriously but it hasn't gotten frontloaded with people who have just played long enough to get to level 30. completely serious.

that's the point, right? past like 1400 you can pretty much solidly effect whether or not you win games before that it's a crapshoot

this. i had a 10-2 run last week and this week have lost every ranked game but one, despite winning my lane/being a very effecting jungler in literally *every single one.* in my last three games, one last night and two today, every single lane that wasn't mine lost. in the first 8-10 minutes. the statistical probability of this happening is astronomically low, if the system is attempting to put together games of aggregate skill. i was at around 1135 earlier this week and now i'm practically in danger of being under 1000 because there's only been a single game in which i had a fighting chance to make my team win since about tuesday.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system the issue here being it's created for one player games.

this assumes far too much statistically. in fact statistics doesn't work that way. at all. also the elo system is built to attempt to keep you at 50/50 w/l ratio, so if you win several in a row it actively works to put you on bad teams. and under a certain point being placed on a 'bad team' means you will lose regardless of how well you play. recently i've gone 8/2/6 with fiora, as well as 18/3 and 15/2 with xerath, all in losses. if your ability to play well or even have a good game doesn't affect the outcome of the game, and the system in place essentially *wants* you to lose the game, you will. nobody else here will understand this example because no one else plays competitive sports here but no matter how many people are playing a game, if even one of them is below a certain level their team will inevitably fail. in basketball if you have one incompetent player out of 5, you will lose. in soccer, if you have one incompetent player, you will lose the spacing battle and most likely the game. in american football, if one player out of eleven doesn't understand what he needs to do, he will lose his team the game. these really aren't "sometime" things. it doesn't matter how good you are, or if someone else on their team is 'kinda bad'. if you have one incompetent player you will lose. even if the other team is 5 below average people, you will lose if one person is actively hurting your team. if you are not able to influence the outcome of the game, it is no longer based on skill. i hate the term elo hell more than anyone but

so um what's the deal with this new patch and stuff also while elo 'hell' may exist people who use it for an excuse as to why they are bad make me hate the term. on the other hand when i go 18/3/15 as xerath and my team still loses it makes me upset

i used to live in new hampshire but now i live in japan though i imagine i'll come back someday

for the time it came out and what it tried to do it did pretty well but i won't lie and say it was knock your socks off awesome because it was just okay.

oh.. i.. um eeeeeeeee. that was more for proto. but check out a ton of the youtube channels that post music they all have subscription boxes. hell even ukf started that way good luck with sick though, its kind of a big deal website so they pretty much post professional/up and coming to be professional artists. never heard any of your music so i'm not sure if you qualify but i hope so?

i recommend that you send your soundcloud to thissongissick.com's inbox. it's a lot of free publicity to pretty much the entire american college electronica scene and then i can be like 'i know that guy he's the best' even though i don't know you in real life

Congrats dude! You're going places. piano buildup for the sexy

no it's not. planetside was.

speaking of deep space bass is there a soundtrack for toonami/where/how can i get it

TOONAMI WAS ON INSTEAD OF ADULT SWIM ON APRIL FOOLS obviously the date says its probably not permanent but tell cartoon network to keep going it however you can. twitter #BringToonamiBack seems to be the big thing

what is there to get? there is no 'playerbase' it's the people who actually play games and try hard and want esports to succeed who say 'this is sexist' and all of the 10-16 year olds (and older, there's immaturity everywhere but it starts down there) that say 'BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS' and because both customers are just as valuable seeing as they both have paid nothing for the game, both get catered to. so all the things you want you'll get eventually, and all the things you don't want will also happen because some other idiot wants it

i didn't get it because i just made a bank account yesterday and need to wire myself money from home. right now i'm practically broke.. but i may go back to get it later

i'm posting in this thread because GT made it and i encourage such activity

can you link to the set? i want to hear what comes after that clip

so i went to yamada denki to go get this game and then i was like HOLY FUCK WHY IS THIS SO EXPENSIVE the next time you think of a game being a few months behind in america, think of those months as time instead of money. DDD was 5100 yen, which comes out to 62.25. it won't be more than 40 in america. if you think about it like that waiting isn't so bad

oh oh should i go get this?? i mean, seeing as i live in japan now and all the different voices might be weird though mickey's just not mickey without his voice

i actually do but yeah probably not for eveyone else

lulu is fun but her cast ranges are shorter than you think and she's super slow so i've found myself in the front line by accident a couple times. oh yeah i also live in japan now
