    League of Legends Free Talk Tuesday - July 21st!


    Free Talk Tuesday - July 21st!

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 12:48 AM PDT

    Whaddup, /r/leagueoflegends! IcyColdStare here with this week's edition of our FTT thread! Hope you've had a good (and safe) weekend!

    Lillia and the Spirit Blossom event are going to be hitting Live servers very, very soon! There's a ton of things that will be riding alongside patch 10.15 - a new pass to grind, new skins to buy (RIVEN SKIN WHEN, RIOT) and most importantly - Nexus Blitz is making its promised return! For those of you not in the loop, it'll be around for two patches (roughly four weeks) so get your games in while you can, Summoners!

    Other than just League, though - what else has had y'all occupied, lately? Personally, I've been doing a re-read of the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson to get myself ready for Rhythm of War's release in November (HYPE). What about you folks? I'm all ears!

    That's it from me for this week, though! Thread's all yours now, /r/leagueoflegends - just remember to follow our usual FTT rules, of course; talk shop, play nice and as always, have a good week!

    DISCLAIMER: Nobody is allowed to Bond to/Interact with Spirit Blossom Teemo except for me.

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 12:51 PM PDT

    This is not like a joke post or a "haha funny" bonanza. This is related to the update here.

    This is an unabridged, unadulterated THREAT to anyone who dares to talk to Teemo in the spirit realm. I'm fucking serious. You see his adorable, cute portrait pop up? Just DON'T do it. I am legitimately WARNING you about the massive, hulking, POWERFUL force you are going to awaken if you can't keep your damn eyes to your damn self.

    I don't even play League, but if I find out you've been talking to Teemo, I will find you and DEMOLISH you in every last League match you play. Normals, Ranked, ARAM, modded minecraft, I DO. NOT. CARE. You will be laid the fuck out on the Rift's pavement for interfering in my romantic conquest. Am I a bit of a beta in real life? Oh yeah. But in League, I am number one, and you WILL. ADHERE. TO WHAT I'M. SAYING.

    This is my chance, my moment. I've already practiced a few icebreakers and memorized the Scout's Code. Every time I close my eyes, I envision the first moment we hold hands together. Don't ruin this for me.

    Hashinshin has not streamed league for 5 days, 2 of those days claiming he was involuntariy committed due to "attempted suicide."

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 07:45 PM PDT

    Recently, Hashinshin has been accused of grooming minors (women from 15-17). He released a twitlonger (now deleted) that stated he took 500g of melatonin and something else that I don't remember (since that was deleted) to try to suicide.

    He followed that up afterwards that he was getting checked in https://twitter.com/Hashinshin/status/1284305487471747072 . Afterwards, he says that he was involuntarily checked in https://twitter.com/Hashinshin/status/1284587788210446338 . He also makes another tweet after stating he was involuntarily checked in 50 minutes later https://twitter.com/Hashinshin/status/1284596662854397953 .

    48 hours later he gets out and claims that he was discharged from an urgent care facility. https://twitter.com/Hashinshin/status/1285373740000444417

    He deletes his original apology, and then posts this google doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EfxoYc281ubnxqqPNPoWg-XamPm6PIHkRdhtHz_jgFM/preview?pru=AAABc5f8ynE*7iTIo11Qxwi6gl8EDpdcXw) admitting to at least two recent allegations to be real, but that it wasn't grooming.

    I want everyone to understand this is not a "pity party" but this is primarily for the benefit of myself. The anxiety and stress from these attacks has seriously put me in a dangerous place. With that said I will admit and take responsibility for the two most recent accusations. Both happened. Both are real. Okay? I want everyone to understand that those both happened and are real. Can we all please look at what I just said because I've said it before and people for some reason deny I've done it.

    I'm fuckin sorry alright? How many times do I have to say I'm sorry? I keep saying it and everyone keeps saying I haven't said it. Jesus christ I'm fucking sorry it's there. All I am doing, all I am trying to say is this: It wasn't grooming. At no point did I try to advance the relationship, at no point did I express interest in nudes, at no point did I try to meet up, isolate them, or any of the hallmark definitions of grooming. It wasn't. What it WAS was an extremely damaging, gross, and creepy set of messages sent by me. I can tell you that I was not thinking in a healthy manner, and thought that this was just some cringy funny inside joke between us. It was not. It was an extremely creepy thing to be doing, and it was extremely wrong. I understand that.

    What I want everyone else to understand is this: What you guys have revealed is I haven't done shit in two years. I realized my behavior was wrong, it was creepy and it was wrong. I admit that, okay? I don't know how many times I have to admit that and keep admitting it because people want to keep acting like I'm not. At either rate, I haven't done stuff in two years. I realized that my behavior was wrong when in January of 2019 I got back on my ADHD medication, fixed the carbon monoxide leak, and started to think about … well my life. I was living in an extremely unhealthy self damaging way.

    A big problem with this, is that there was a video shown by Dye (before Hashinshin posted this google document), about logs that he's had with multiple underaged women https://twitter.com/_ImDye/status/1283586919360847874. One of them, Sarah, was as recent as June of this year. One month ago, not two years ago. (Hashinshin came out with this now deleted tweet apologizing/admitting to Dye's accusations https://imgur.com/a/Aot3NsR )

    After that video that Dye released, multiple other women came out exposing the grooming that they recieved by Hashinshin when they were 15-16 years old, and he was 25-30.

    https://twitter.com/idcvicki/status/1284158248459874308 a woman who he continually messaged about being a big brother and was creepy/flirty with.

    https://twitter.com/v1ch1t4/status/1283629057574404096 a woman who Hashinshin was flirting with when she was 16.

    https://twitter.com/Kitten_x3/status/1284241790841663489 One of many messages that Hashinshin would send her.

    https://twitter.com/Caltyss/status/1284158240796954624 This is the biggest of them with extremely strong evidence that Hashinshin was grooming her when she was 15. It's a huge google doc with videos, discord messages, twitter DMs, various screens of her mentioning that she was 15 (and he was 28).


    Dom, Yassuo, SRO, Voyboy, and aother popular streamers have tweeted their own views on the matter:

    https://twitter.com/IWDominateLoL/status/1284172055156387840

    this is fucking sick, proof of screenshots on multiple platforms provided in the statement

    https://twitter.com/IWDominateLoL/status/1285670772078530571

    twitch you literally have evidence of him using your platform to message and groom minors, DO SOMETHING

    https://twitter.com/Yassuo/status/1285365527628709888

    So hashinshin was exposed for being a pedophile, claimed it was all fake, harassed the victims, declared innocence, irrefutable proof came out, he put out a half assed apology, since then hes deleted the apology and kept his tweet claiming his innocence pinned. What am i missing?

    https://twitter.com/Yassuo/status/1285365721674010624

    Oh yeah he also harassed the actual victims, had his fans harass them, threaten legal action because 'all the proof was fake' when it was not, super top btw! This man does not deserve a platform nor does he deserve to ever stream again

    https://twitter.com/SoloRenektonLoL/status/1285660274918404096

    It blows my mind that Hashinshin is just streaming like nothing happened. The mental gymnastics some of his fans are doing in response to people calling him out leaves me completely disgusted. This man GROOMED UNDERAGE GIRLS on your platform Twitch and there is no response.

    https://twitter.com/Voyboy/status/1285373774095765504

    Hashinshin is a manipulator, predator and worst of all pedophile who used his platform to abuse so many underage girls over the years. There's multiple sources of undeniable proof and he admitted it himself. He is SCUM and deserves NOTHING. Keep these monsters away from our kids.

    Edit: Voyboy has uploaded a video in addition to his previous tweet.

    https://twitter.com/Voyboy/status/1285759161230221312 6:52 minutes long

    https://twitter.com/Voyboy/status/1285759265055993856 follow up tweet under the video, quote tweeting Caltyss

    "I was groomed by Hashinshin when I was 15 years old": https://twitter.com/Caltyss/status/1284158240796954624

    Hashinshin's Deleted "Apology" / Admitting Guilt: https://imgur.com/a/LZTi4t7

    Hashinshin's Updated "Apology" / Admitting Guilt: https://imgur.com/a/GS50c2I

    Since he was involuntarily commited, he hasn't streamed league at all. However, yesterday and the day before, he started streaming Ori and the blind forest, and Civ 5 (I think that's what the game's called). He did come out today with youtube league content, no live twitch league content.

    Meteos: What’s Next

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 04:17 PM PDT

    Welcome to LoL Esports

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 08:40 AM PDT

    You know when the Support doesn't peel you JUST when you die? Don't flame them. It's probably your fault.

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 03:23 AM PDT

    You probably know the situation. You literally have 1 hp remaining. You just need Lulu to get to you, throw their shield and ult, and you can 1v5 gg ez. She's running down the lane with mobi boots, even W on herself to go faster. Then she stops in her tracks and watches you die. You spam ping Lulu Alive and R, then call FF.

    Because, you know, Lulu "intentionally" ran across half the map just to NOT peel you.

    There's a thing called "casting range". You 0-10 Yasuos might not know this, but a support needs to be at a certain proximity to you to cast buffs. While you're zipping around, you might very well be outside this range. So when you drop dead and they stand still, put yourself in their shoes before you flame. They're probably smashing their E or R key to activate as soon as you touch that blue casting circle, but you die. They literally cannot do anything to save you.

    It doesn't help if you're actively running away from your support, or jumping over walls, or taking a turn that forces them to walk through minions or the whole enemy team, and then spam ? when they're not there to help you.

    If they're in range and not peeling you, there's also another thing called "cooldowns". You have to be braindead to spend an entire fight with an active skill bar. But while you've tunnel visioned on the enemy backline, you might not realise your health bar going up, or the grey bar that is stopping your green one going down, or the fact that you are suddenly attacking faster than usual, or perhaps there's a HUGIFIED CHAMPION WITH GLOWING PURPLE PETALS right on screen. Then you die and wonder why they didn't shield you.

    Here's the thing: if the Support was actually bad or trolling you, they wouldn't even be in the fight. They'll be farming a sideline. If you got yourself into trouble, they could just leave you to die because you're not worth saving and the team is better off avoiding giving a free support kill.

    If they're with you in the fight, they're slamming their keyboard as much as you are. If they're pathing towards you, they tried. It's not their job to cover for your mistakes. Whether it's the fact that you get hit by every skill shot in lane, or you got picked face-checking a bush, they can't physically stop you from making the mistake and remove all penalties.

    Just think before you start calling them an idiot.

    Whether they are or not, they're not going to support you.

    Support your supports.

    Edit #1:

    A lot of people are just coming up with scenarios where it is the support's fault (they mistimed their base, etc.). Bad supports (and bad players) do stupid things. A lot of supports (esp. autofilled ones) don't care about their ADC and do their own thing - that's true. But there are a lot of assumptions that a) this is the laning phase and b) the support always has to be with you.

    There are plenty of reasons why a support has to go back first. If they did a lot of poor trades and are on low health, or they're backing to buy a mana crystal, sure, it's probably their fault. But it may be that they were targeted in a gank, got out alive, and have to reset. It's not ideal, but it happens and you have to adapt.

    The scenario I'm visualising is mid/late game. There's little cohesion in solo queue, so naturally some players will get picked, some will die in skirmishes, some will drop away in dragon fights, etc. No one's shot-calling, so everyone's doing their own thing. The Support might be doing their bit - following the ADC, deep-warding, etc. The point is that a Support can't be everywhere, and they can't peel for four players in completely different parts of the map.'

    I'm not trying to glorify supports, act like their perfect, get validation, or whatever. I'm not a good player and I won't pretend that I am, but that's irrelevant. When you're the one who gets killed, it's frustrating. Maybe it isn't your fault. But breathe before you flame the support who dropped everything to try to get to you. Get pissed off at the ones who have been blind all game and have done nothing at all.

    Sometimes you're just both out of range of each other. It just looks like the Support is stupid because their spell is queued up and you die before it activates, so they automatically go into idle animation.

    [Satire] Riot Comes Clean on Loser's Queue on Twitter: "Fine, you got us, YES. Every game you win does (SLIGHTLY) increase your chances of playing with Rob Schneider."

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 07:44 AM PDT

    Amid allegations of rigging matches in their popular online MOBA League of Legends, Riot Games has issued an admission on their official Twitter page. It is believed this response is the result of all the sapient and on-the-nose complaints issued by the community at large, creating a supermassive beam of purified objective criticism that obliterated the company's stalwart barrier against substantial change.

    While an admission, the Twitter thread reads more like an errant rant. It is eight posts long, starting with the main admission:

    Fine, you got us, YES. Every game you win does (SLIGHTLY) increase your chances of playing with Rob Schneider. (1/8)

    After this, Riot Games for some reason went on to clarify who Rob Schneider was.

    American actor, comedian, screenwriter, and director. You may recognize him from Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. He plays top in League, we all really love his sense of humor. (2/8)

    What comes next, however, hits far harder: Riot admits to arranging a sort of deal with the famed actor.

    Earlier this year Rob Schneider approached us and asked, in no uncertain terms, if we could help him reach high elo. This was so he may conduct a method acting study on pro players for an upcoming film. (3/8)

    And--again--Riot breaks away from their explanation to expound on the actor's upcoming movie. This is being cited in many popular theories that this apology is a hoax advertisement for the film star.

    Deuce Bigalow: Check out my Big Ego follows the events of the original film. Deuce chases love and infamy through the esports circuit, which he believes holds untold Ladies potential for eligible bachelors like himself. (4/8)

    The fifth of eight tweets dedicated to explaining this substantial problem... is also spent in advertising earnest, featuring Rob Schneider in his role of Nazo, the Italian Delivery Driver from Mr. Deeds 2002. The image seems to be a low-resolution, first-result pick from Google, if you were to search "funny Rob Schneider Mr Deeds." It comes with the following caption:

    "Holy shit, it's a cat!" We DON'T apologize for giving Robby his chance to shine bright. Fuck you. Fuck every single one of you jokes. You think we're the reason you lose games? The reason you lose games is because we are expected to plop ten of you bastards into summoner's rift--and somehow keep you all in line long enough to play our game the intended way. It's like trying to get a bunch of preschoolers to play Pathfinder, Jesus H. (5/8)

    After this strange rant, the explanation comes back on track with a very succinct statement.

    Yes in(mr.)deed(s), we tweaked our algos a bit to make it so that players on a winstreak in Mr. Schneider's elo range would have an (again: slightly) higher chance of getting into his games. The idea was to soft-boost him to diamond or above. (6/8)

    There's not much to say about the next part of the thread. It's just the same fucking image of Nazo, now with a warm pink filter, with the following text:

    We're so proud of him. (7/8)

    Finally, the thread concludes with a much-needed apology. Although it quite clearly rings of derision...

    Please accept our apologies for being SO inclined to support an actor's career. It must have been SO hard for you to carry Mr. Schneider for ONE game so he can ACT IN HIS DREAM ROLE. So, so sorry everyone, we've fixed the algo so now you can go back to playing with NON FAMOUS people. Our mistake. (8/8)

    The last morsel of info from Riot comes in their singular reply to the Twitter thread's comments. The user SauerSauce snaps at the game company with:

    What an utterly ridiculous situation. The fact you all thought it was okay to do this? THAT is not okay. Thank you for coming clean but this is going to take a lot of hard work to overcome. It's not as serious as some of your other 'problems,' but it is the most glaringly stupid. I mean... what?

    In response, Riot just said:

    Again, we apologize. We meant to say that Deuce Bigalow: Look at my Big Elo is a sequel to the TWO-THOUSAND-AND-FIVE film, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. We see why you're so angry at us.

    No one else involved has come to the plate to give statements. Although--thanks to anonymous internet sleuthing--it is now heavily believed that Rob Schneider may have been duo queuing with Adam Sandler every single game.

    New players shouldn't be in high gold mmr games

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 03:32 PM PDT

    Seriously ruins the game for everybody. I've had about 4 in the last 20 games, a bronze 1 fresh account with like 6 games played get absolutely stomped by someone 2 full tiers above them. The games are auto lose if the enemy team doesn't have someone on their team running it down. Fresh accounts should start in bronze mmr having them start mid-high gold mmr just ruins games.

    Seriously he looks like a piece of pearl jewelry that was cursed by a mad wizard and gained sentience. Also, the fire actually matches with the rainbow.

    He looks kind of like "angelic vel'koz" or Kayle's prosthetic eyeball and I couldn't be happier.

    Tl,dr: this chroma is amazing
