| Potential Reason for North America's Poor Performance at Worlds Posted: 05 Oct 2020 02:21 PM PDT Reasons for NA's repeated failures have proliferated for years throughout the League community. High ping, long queue times, streaming "personalities" contributing to low quality games, lack of home grown talent, the list goes on and on. Every year these same problems are brought up without resolve, yet are they truly the cause of NA's failure?
I believe I have discovered a more sinister reason for this failure, one that I don't think anyone has considered: Canadians are actively sabotaging the LCS.
I know what you're thinking, "Canadians? Aren't they supposed to be the nicest people in the world? Why would they intentionally make the LCS look like that guy at a party who claims he can drink you under the table but you find him passed out two hours later with phallic imagery drawn all over his face in permanent marker?" It sounds surreal, but the evidence for this exists if you look exactly where I tell you to.
First, we have to take a look at the Canadians who primarily started in the Summer Split:
How many players is that? Those of you who can count would tell me 10. That's 20% of the LCS starting players, a substantial number considering the region imports a large proportion of
The astute reader will notice that there are quite a few Canadians in proportion to the number of Americans, especially considering the population difference between the two nations. Clearly, Canada seems to output a higher number of Pros per Population (PP) than that of the US. The Canadian PP comes in at 0.26 P/MP, while the abysmal PP of the US is 0.058 P/MP. That means that Canadians output 5x more PP than Americans! So the question is, if there is so much PP in Canada, why don't we see this reflected in World's victories?
The reason is that they are, within extreme intent, limiting themselves and their teammates to poor performances at critical moments. Examples of this are plentiful. Biofrost's extremely suspect Level 1 flash on Alistar against Fnatic earlier this week, Licorice and Vulcan's sudden "slump" at the end of the regular summer split, CodySun's infamous flash at Worlds several years prior. Wildturtle doing Wildturtle things. Sprinkled like confetti throughout the history of the LCS, these incidents pop up everywhere. But if they are genuinely bad players, how are they ending up on some of the top teams? Receiving top dollar paychecks? Getting hyped up again and again by analysts? I believe that these incidents are coordinated sabotages with scope beyond just that of the LCS.
Their goal? To depress and break down the spirit of Americans so much that they surrender to Canadian sovereignty
It sounds impossible, but Einstein told us that there are infinite possibilities in infinite universes, so its clearly possible. This is a situation that has been becoming more and more likely, and reflects an inversion of Manifest Destiny. Once held by the US, it now lies in polite (and suspiciously quiet) Canadian hands.
What is Manifest Destiny? Wikipedia defines it as "a widely held American imperialist cultural belief in the 19th-century United States that American settlers were destined to expand across North America." It was once believed that Canada would fall under control of the US, and thus the Americans invaded on several particularly noteworthy occasions. Thwarted by the Canadians (with the help of the British), their White House burned and tattered, they gave up. After a time, peace settled in the land, and the US thought that Canada had forgiven and forgotten. Little did they know, a plan was hatched that would not only lead to the current US political climate (oof), but would also utilize sporting leagues to further sow chaos.
The objective, as far as I have been able to discern, is to get the people of America to feel defeat and depression, day after day, unending. The Canadians in the LCS have been helping this along, secretly breaking down morale within the league. Europeans (just as the British helped the Canadians before!) accelerate this breakdown, dropping savage memes that lack any hint of empathy. This is forcing Americans to look inward, and then outward, for their salvation. And that salvation shall be through annexation by Canada.
I have no idea how it will end. Most likely Isaac "Literally a World Champion" "Azael" "Actual Canadian" Cummings Bentley will begin tweeting innocuous things like "Wow, I'm really missing Canada and their free healthcare!" or "Wouldn't it be cool if we all said 'eh'?" These tweets will highlight the instantiation of the final phase of the overtaking.
So the final question is, what can American's do about it? First step would probably increase their PP to a healthy level. Perhaps carefully watch the Canadians and look for slip ups, obviously forced "blunders" and confront them when they occur. And to be perfectly honest, maybe it isn't worth resisting. Who knows, when Canadians have full control of the entire continent, the sabotaging will end, and North America will finally have a true chance at winning Worlds.
tldr; Canadians are actively sabotaging the LCS to lead to the eventual annexation of the US by Canada [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| LCS players refusing to scrim academy for job security Posted: 05 Oct 2020 03:00 AM PDT https://twitter.com/LSXYZ9/status/1313054666003935232 According to LS's twitter, he has heard horror stories about LCS players literally not scrimming their academy because they're afraid they'll take their jobs. Honestly that looks like such shame and it shows right now, NA is currently 0-5 at worlds. How long we'll have to wait to see changes? EDIT: Added spoiler tag.

| Worlds is the worst time of year to be an NA fan Posted: 05 Oct 2020 03:30 PM PDT Basically title. Everyone in NA knows our teams are not as good as we want them to be. We know we pay our players too much. We know our amateur scene isn't as good as other regions. Why does everyone feel the need to just absolutely shit on our region? I'm convinced that half of LEC's content strategy is make fun of NA. I'm just so tired of NA players and teams being personally attacked by fans every year. We can't even celebrate FLY beating UOL because "we were expected to win" yet everyone was putting UOL above FLY in pickems. Edit for clarification: as u/13keres pointed out this is not a post complaining about NA being unfairly called bad or our teams underperforming. It's a post complaining about the amount of hate individual players receive and public figures constantly hating on NA teams. No other region is insulted like NA is and has to deal with the community's hatred like NA does. LS and LEC teams/casters are the worst perpetrators of this hate.

| Posted: 05 Oct 2020 10:57 AM PDT I would've simply posted this as a clip, but it's too short. I hopped onto the PBE, loaded up the practice tool, and bought penetration items on Aatrox, just to see if Aatrox would struggle into tanks in the coming season. I gave a dummy 10000 HP and 500 armor and magic resist, both values that are significantly higher than values that roughly 90% of tanks reach by the late game. (Ornn, Sej, Mundo, and Malphite are really the only ones that cross that threshold). Aatrox is commonly cited as the juggernaut with the hardest time busting tanks, and if he can do it, any fighter can, right? I'm happy to report that he won't be struggling into tanks at all. In fact, pretty much any AD fighter, or AP champion that can buy Liandry's Anguish can pretty much punch through a tank without any trouble at all. Here's a demonstration. AD fighters seem to currently have the easiest time with this. Let's break this down step by step:
You'd think that speccing into so much penetration would be detrimental to your survivability, you'd be relatively squishy, deal otherwise low damage, etc. Nope. With Aatrox as my example, a build containing Divine Devourer, Cleaver, Abyssal, Grudge, and Sterak's Gage left me with 3560 HP, 119 armor, 113 MR, and 325 AD. As for haste, I roughly have the equivalent of 45% cdr. Aatrox isn't even the worst case scenario fighter here. Champions like Mordekaiser and Darius can hit up to 79% magic penetration and 84% armor penetration, respectively. Darius had 3760 HP at full build, and Morde was the squishiest, with only 3080 hp. In this scenario, Aatrox is more of a tank than the tanks are. Couple this with the higher sustain profiles that fighters have, and there is literally no reason to pick a top lane tank as of right now when fighters do everything except engage better. They're lasting longer in fights, soaking up more damage due to their higher sustain profiles, and overall providing more in fights. Tanks drop an engage and pretty much cease to exist after that, because a fighter will melt them all the same. You'd be better off picking a support engage tank, who goes in, dies, then lets the fighter do the follow up tanking. Hopefully something can be done, because while tanks CAN be problematic, they don't deserve to be completely invalidated by another class building borderline full damage and doing their job all the same.

| An Ad for a playlist and nothing else is not a good "drop" Posted: 05 Oct 2020 01:59 AM PDT I have zero interest in spotify and fail to see how being advertised to is somehow a great loot I should be excited about? In what way is being linked to a playlist a reward? Worse than a half a games worth of blue ess was a low bar to pass on worthless watch loot but come on.

| Korea's reactions to Worlds 2020 Group Stage Day 3 Posted: 05 Oct 2020 07:39 AM PDT Hey everyone, not too much salt today as I guess they expected DRX to lose vs TES in the first place, but I expect a lot more flame in tomorrow's matches. Enjoy, and see you tomorrow. Sources:http://www.inven.co.kr/board/lol/4625 G2 vs MACHI
I can't figure out G2. They're bad if they look good and they're good if they look bad.
G2 is definitely leading this game but Machi is kinda keeping up with the pace. At least Machi plays up to their first seed title.
This makes me excited for Machi vs Suning. Machi isn't half bad. TL vs SUN
Isn't TL fucked??
NA you fucks you said you were different this year
Why did Jensen take comet if he's not gonna put pressure in lane? Bot is ruined because of him.
Poor NA let's cheer for FlyQuest… DWG vs PSG
This is only possible because it's Damwon. If it was an average team the rest of the team loses while the top laner scales.
PSG looks good. They took a gold lead against Damwon even for a moment, which is what even JDG or Rogue couldn't do. They probably would've made it out if they were in Group A.
Nuguri is just crazy good. He got ganked so many times and he still pushes lane and gets a solo kill. AND he shows up in teamfights he's just crazy.
Games vs Damwon still look winnable. The enemy team just has to ban out Top Jungle Mid AD Support champ pools in draft, and the game's winnable.
Yeah I think the game's winnable if you ban 30 champions. JDG vs ROG
Yagao's Zoe retirement game!
Just don't play Ashe. I'm getting angry just watching. If you're gonna get 4 kills and play like that you just shouldn't play Ashe. FLY vs UOL
Wait does NA not have rookies? Is that Santorin the Santorin I know?
A KR server Master tier top laner would play better than Solo..
NA was forced to win this game.
NA's first win!!! Let's go!!!!! NA!!!!
NA's first win! I'm gonna cry
LCK really is the 0 fun league. Compared to games like these LCK is a sleeping pill. DRX vs TES
Jackeylove reminds me of Ruler. He's on another level.
Bot diff is insane.
Nah it's fine it looks like easy second place.
Fuck Jackey damn it he's so god damn good.
We lost but it was still fun to watch. I'm satisfied.
I've never seen such a strong Senna before.
Just like we expected game was lost because of bot diff.
Chovy and Pyosik aren't guilty. These two played well.
Top Quinn pick was useless. It only got a small lead early. Quinn has to win split and shake the game but she can't do anything because of Nocturne Tahm Kench. cvMax lost draft on this one.
After this game, we look for the impostor. Please take a seat.
I feel the Uzi in Jackeylove
The Thresh pick doesn't make sense either. I guess they thought they'd counter Nocturne with lantern, but Thresh is useless if the enemy support plays well. They build Mikael's or go QSS on a tank support and just stand in front of the AD, and there's nothing Thresh can do. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Long term we're shifting Pantheon away from support and back into solo lanes.

| Just another reminder that they totally screwed Goth Annie with the terrible changes to her splash. Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:44 AM PDT It feels so low quality compared to the old one. It used to look like she is angrily summoning tibbers after having a temper tantrum. Which fits perfectly with her theme, especially after that cinematic of her got released. Why force an awful smile on her? Why remove the smeared makeup while still having her still wear plenty of it anyways? AND WHOT ON EARTH IS UP WITH THOSE EYEBROWS?!

| In their first three matches in Worlds 2020, DAMWON Gaming has played 14 champions in total. Posted: 05 Oct 2020 03:49 AM PDT Over their first three wins, DWG has played 14 different champions, with only Canyon playing Graves twice in games against Rogue and PSG.
Just goes to show how you really can't ban this team out. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The delicate relationship between Top Laners & Junglers Posted: 05 Oct 2020 09:05 AM PDT Comic: https://i.redd.it/uzk6o8zetar51.jpg What's up Challengers, You may have seen me around this sub dropping quickly sketched drawings in response to comments. I've been doing this for several years now and have built up a nice little stash of funny doodles. I plan on taking some of my favorite /r/leagueoflegends drawings, flesh em' out a bit, and turn them into a more polished web comic. This first one was inspired by this original post Special shout out to /u/Minishcap1 (awesome GBA game btw) and /u/Vurmalkin for the OP interaction which inspired me to draw this moment in the first place. Hope you guys like it! Cheers, GiEF [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
