Well... if you think about it, it's a fail system because not enough people are going to vote.

The vote count gets pretty high kinda (around 1k votes total) and as the game goes on, very few more votes come in, and when a big change comes in the game late, it's no surprise that the hashtag count is going to not change much. Even if everyone who voted before votes again for the same person, it wouldn't change much.

They have tried to shamelessly reset the count before. It was pretty bad and obvious though, and last game I watched they didn't do it again.
why not just do a fading echos system where newer votes have more weight than older ones

:roll:

why?

what are your feelings on other major sports in america using foreign players?
There is I think a difference between using foreign players and consisting solely of foreign players

Who is the worst support, mechanically? Uh, KiWiKid (although he didn't exactly stand out as particularly bad in Dignitas' losses, but that's a different issue). But Krepo never made challenger, even when he was trying, and I don't think you can put him up to LemonNation, XPecial, Godwater, or even Aphromoo.
Yeah krep was shit today you are on point

So even if they'd left Zuna in there, I can't imagine them doing worse than 3rd or 4th in the split (especially with Dig unable to beat CLG when CLG doesn't even have a real team)
Mancloud is a beast, Godwater has a champ pool of two and sona is not as effective s4 and she was s3, xmithie is in an entirely new role

In post 661, GreyICE wrote:See, people will hype Snoopeh and crew up despite us having copious footage of his play. Similarly people will mock Godwater despite the fact that they keep winning and having tons of footage of how much of that was him.

You ever noticed how people don't bother to ban out Godwater? Think that no pro team has ever thought "hmmm, Vulcun is only third in the LCS, we really should try to beat them, what happens if we ban out godwater?" (answer: he plays other champions)
so 1 i didn't make a judgement on eg and 2 nice game today!

Also just as a note the fact that bloodwater only has such a linear champion pick and that he isn't banned shows you how much people fear him :(

Hey guys.

I'm a writer for esportsexpress, a satire site for starcraft2/dota2/league. Some of you might have read our articles before. Us writers put in a pretty hefty amount of time into our articles, but not as much as we'd like because it's all volunteer work.

We're putting together a kickstarter that will launch in 2 weeks / whenever I defrost from Chicago winter. In the leadup to that kickstarter we'll be increasing our quantity of articles to give you a taste of what it would be like if we were full-time. That begins today with our 2014 league of legends awards.

Keep an eye out for us!

Link is a pretty good player and all, i just dunno how he fits with CLG...

I'm sure there are numbers and shit, but I think it would be hard to just up and replace Link and expect to just get better...

i strongly disagree

we lose games sometimes purely because link can't hold up in lane

pobelter and shiphtur are options
