    Riot Games accused of colluding with the lawyers representing sexual harassment victims in secret -- settlement dismissed and new council to be retained by plaintiffs

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 04:32 PM PST

    Smurfing is a real problem on Clash. If Clash was restricted to level 60+ accounts it would solve 90% of the problem.

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 09:54 AM PST

    We got stomped last night by an obviously high elo Zed and Lee sin playing on level 30 smurfs taunting and all chatting gitgud and hardstuck gold.

    Our team was gold 2 to silver 4 in Tier 4 bracket.

    The Lee and Zed were quite obviously high elo smurfs. Accounts were both level 30 with 80% winrates. No they were not onetricks. And yes we banned out what we could.

    The entire point of the Tier system is to get placed in a bracket with similarly skilled people.

    By requiring level 60+ or 75+ accounts the smurfing problem won't be entirely gone but it would reduce 90% of the problem without too much effect on the overall player base.

    EDIT: Alternatively someone suggested requiring 50 ranked games on the account (can be lifetime, not necessarily this season) instead of level 60+ to enter Clash. That would also significantly reduce the problem.

    EDIT 2: As noted by others here... The influx of smurfs has a lot to do with the Tier system needing more Tiers. Having a two Plat2 players in a team of all golds can place your entire team in Tier 1 against grandmaster/challenger teams. This means anyone in High Plat / Diamond is more likely to Smurf in clashed than actually play on their mains if the rest of their friends in clash are silver/gold.

    When Mordekaiser dies, he should spent the timer in his death realm

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 02:36 PM PST

    I mean, this is just how it is supposed to be.

    He is dead, he should be in the death realm just chilling, waiting to be brought back.

    Bonus: if Mordekaiser is in the game, every champ who dies is brought to the Death Realm. They don't do damage or anything else. You know, just vibing in the death realm.

    Make this an Ultimate skin if you need.

    LCK Mina tests negative for Coronavirus, self-quarantine ended

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 02:26 AM PST

    LCK Mina tests negative for Coronavirus, self-quarantine ended

    Yesterday, after the first match, LCK caster Mi-na Kim came down with a fever and was tested for Coronavirus. (Reddit thread)

    Today, several sources have confirmed that Mina has tested negative, it seems she just had a fever.

    Twitter Link

    Mina Kim's Instagram (Korean)

    https://preview.redd.it/9ymi1amamui41.jpg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b773a55085eb07852c4ed924203a9f3089ba2cce

    In the picture above, you can see "빛돌" saying "민아아나 검사결과 단순 열 나왔어유 (Mina Announcer's test said it was just a fever)".

    With all the chaos surrounding the current virus outbreak, it's good to see that things are holding up for the LCK scene.

    Dark Cosmic Kindred Fanart

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 08:54 AM PST

    Dark Cosmic Kindred Fanart

    Good day everyone!

    Following my skin concept I finally finished the splash art to go wit it!

    Since Kindred is a representation of Death I wanted to explore the idea of a Cosmic entity that at first kept balance in the universe, but after being corrupted by the Dark Star, started destroying galaxies indiscriminately.

    This project was huge for me but now that it's over I'm glad I decided to do it!

    The illustration took roughly 3 weeks of work.

    If you want to see more of the process:

    - Artstation

    - Instagram

    Thank you <3

    Why on earth does a surrender vote fail when the game is 3v5 and 2 people hit yes?

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 04:47 AM PST

    Just happened to me in a game. Two people left and the enemy was just KDA farming and didn't wanna end. Surrender vote failed at 2/1 because a teammate was sure he could still somehow carry. Wasted like 10 minutes in a dead game for nothing.

    And it wasn't a early /ff or anything, it happened at like 25 mins. Why is this even a thing?

    It's Mordekaiser's 10-year Anniversary so my girlfriend and I collaborated on this birthday piece :)

    It's been ten years since Mordekaiser was first released unto the Summoner's rift!

    Love him or hate him, he's been one of League's OG's and with his recent VGU he's finally gotten back into the spotlight!

    To celebrate, we did this little collab for our all-time favorite champion!

    Hope you like it!

    Going to stop playing after 10 years in a row and thousands and thousands of games and wanted to thank everyone!

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 12:38 PM PST

    Hey guys, this is pretty much my first time making a post in this sub even tho i have been playing since season 1 but i thought that this was something that i would like to share.

    So i have been playing since season 1, when i was a kid pretty much and i remember talking with kids in school about when we would get home to play LoL, at the time i had a friend in bronze and i remember we would hang out in the intervals with him talking to me about the game and new champions and man this is where no one knew what league was and while at the time everyone was playing a game called metin2 there we were playing LoL with no one knowing what it was hah.

    Seriously tho, this game completely changed my life, i have met a lot of people through this game and it was probably one of the main tools i used to learn english since in school i really was never a great English student before this game.

    Waking up in the middle of the night to watch words in season 3 if im not wrong and being awake until late just to be able to play, I literally counted the time to play sometimes especially when lucian came out. It gave me so many things to remember and it even gave me a lot of times a thing to talk about with friends and when meeting new people, how i went from getting so angry with this game when i lost to not caring about flame and such, my biggest rank was Platinum 1 i think but i really never played to become a good player but mostly just to have fun.

    Unfortunately, my time is becoming really limited as it is because grown life is slowly hitting me up and since i am creating a solo project, i pretty much never even have the will nor time to turn on my pc and play a game of league as it is, so im closing this huge but really fun chapter of my life for now at least.

    So for everyone, apart from the trynd that would feed in my games and the disco nunus i encountered, thank you to the guy that carried my ass and to the awesome people i met, to even the really nice Riot team that helped me when i needed to and witch in the end of the day i have nothing but just good words to describe them, thank you and good luck in your rankeds!

    Efficiency of Void Staff VS Deathcap

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 06:32 AM PST

    Updated Graph

    Graph

    UPDATED New graph shows Void + Blasting to give a more even comparison. The breakpoint is now 49 MR

    I saw LS, Kobe, and some others talking about POE's Void Staff choice. I made a little script in Python to show the damage difference of an Orianna QWR combo with a Luden's proc. This is assuming you already have Sorc's, Doran's Ring, Luden's, and both adaptive runes. The breakpoint for Void Staff's damage overtaking Deathcaps is 86 MR. Another thing to think about is the 950g difference and the easier build path, I'm looking into how to visualize this

    Harass only Senna play style

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 09:56 PM PST

    After the C9 game I wanted to know how the mist only Senna compares to a CSing Senna gold wise so I did some very basic calculations.

    Here are some base lines of stat value I used (source):

    Stat Gold Value
    Attack Damage 35 / AD
    Crit Chance 40* / 1%
    Range** 1.87 / 1 unit of range
    Life Steal 37.5 / 1%

    * Yes crit does scale differently, but this is not about how much damage she does, its about how much crit cost, the same for every champion, she does not get a discount on IE just because her crit scaling is bad...

    **Range is derived from RFC and Hextech Revolver:

    Hextech Revolver recipe is 180 gold for:

    • 50 - 125 magic damage on-hit
    • Meaning that value scales from 3.6 gold/dmg from level 1 to 1.44 gold/dmg level 18

    The recipe of RFC is 500 gold giving :

    • 3% AS @ 25 * 3 = 75 gold
    • 40 extra magic damage @ 40 * 3.6 = 144 gold (for the sake of simplicity I am using the most efficient value to give less valuation on range)
    • 150 Range (capped bonus range for RFC) @ 500 - 75 - 144 = 281 gold
    • This gives us 281 / 150 = 1.87 gold per unit of range increase (im trying to minimize range value with this calculation, but the benefits are definitely a lot more than just gold)

    Here's what you gain as Senna for every 20 mist:

    For every 20 Mist Value Per Mist
    3 gold per mist 60 3
    20 AD 700 35
    25 Range 46.75 1.87
    15% Crit 600 30
    Total 1406.75 69.87

    Given how Senna passive works, I will first omit life steal for easier calculation

    Mist gains:

    6 minions per wave with 1 more cannon every third wave, @ 25% mist drop rate the expected mist gain every wave is:

    • (6 * 0.25) + (1 / 3) = 1.83 Mist per wave. Which gives you effectively
    • 1.83 * 69.87 = 127.86 gold per wave without any harass and purely from passive mist drop.

    According to the Wiki at level 1, the average gold per wave is 125 for perfect CS. This means that the value from all the mist dropped is even more than having perfect CS. To be fair minion value does scale and increase to 147 / 150 / 195 @ 15 / 17 / 25 min into the game.

    But by having Spectral Sickle as a starting item, you get an extra 2 gold per 10 sec, roughly 6 gold per wave, bumping it up to 133.86. Further more, without the need to CS you can focus on harass. Assuming you only damage the enemy twice per wave, you get 30 gold from sickle proc and 1 extra mist, this bring up the per wave gold gain to a whopping 133.86 + 30 + 69.87 = 233.73! at level 1, that more gold than the 25 min wave perfect CS.

    However this 233.73 is comprised of 38.49 in pocket gold and 195.25 worth of stats. Leaving you with slower progressing when you purchase items. But the upside is you don't have to base to convert that 195 gold per wave into usable stats for lane dominance and trading. I guess it really depends on how you see value from this.

    To maximize that value of mist you should only buy as little crit as possible as the over cap conversion into life steal actually drops mist value by quite a lot, so buy only IE, then move on to lethality, attack speed or life steal to maximize gains.

    Conclusion (TLDR):

    • By trading twice per wave with sickle and no CS, Senna reaps the benefits of 233.73 gold compared to the 125 gold per wave from perfect last hitting.
    • The only crit item you should build is IE to maximize mist value, focus on building other stats like lethality, MS, AS LS, etc. (Buying crit obviously wont be wasted due to its conversion to LS, but its less efficient, my calculation is purely gold value based)
    • You will end up being always more powerful in a trade since you don't base to gain stats
    • Your support will be much better farmed and have much better combat effectiveness in a fight (He will be big boi).
    • You will build more utility to assist the team in other areas (Zven with that vision score)
    • Maybe people should just play Senna support...
    • Big brain C10

    First real post on r/leagueoflegends, very nervous.

    This is some very basic calculation, please let me know if there is something I'm missing or something I got terribly wrong, I will make adjustments to calculation / take my post down.

    Edit: Please keep in mind this is a Senna vs Senna comparison, I realize stats scale differently for Senna compared to other champions, no matter how it scales but each crit percent still cost the same for Senna despite the play style.

    Also as u/ketzo pointed out some of these stats might be undervalued, like range; safety is a added bonus on top of the gold value, these are just some of the things that is really hard to put a gold value on top.
