(1) There's no if about it; (2) the only leaked gameplay footage is of the recall animation, so I'm not sure how you could have an opinion on the appropriateness of the price at this point, and (3) you don't play Thresh, do you? Deep Terror, Championship, and Blood Moon are his only commonly-available skins and all are 975-tier (SSW being limited).In post 254, JasonWazza wrote:If it's a legendary, given what I have seen, I don't think it will be worth the price.
He's never even had a 1350-tier skin, so he's way overdue for a Legendary or Ultimate skin to fill the void. Many were hoping it would either be Void-themed or something similar to this fan concept for an "Arclight Thresh" which, similarly to Justicar Aatrox, turns his classic lore on its head and presents him as a "savior" of souls, rather than a warden. I was excited about something like that, but I'm sure this Void-esque Thresh and any other Dark Star-line skins will be well worth the price.-

^ Basically that. I've taken to just clicking Fill nowadays because if I'm going to get support a lot of times anyway, I may as well not limit my options to NOT play support on the off-chance somebody else picked it. I have at least a couple champs I can deal with in each role so it's also fun to do for variety in Normals.
That being said, Fill Life has its merits: you get placed faster (on average) than if you picked any specific role, and I'm actually pleasantly surprised by how often I don't get support if I'm playing between midnight and 9 AM.-

Draynth already mentioned the difference in the terminology you're using (e.g. "vast majority of players" vs. "most support mains" or whatever), but also whatIn post 788, PJ. wrote:And can you even really disagree Maestro? Doesn't Klazam support in the vast majority of your games?specifically was referencing was that it's kinda clear most people in this thread disagree that the support role is "worthless" (and IIRC, that was your original point), so how can you extrapolate that the "vast majority of players" agree with you, when this sample size would indicate otherwise? It was a half-joke, really.I
RE: the point quoted above, given that you use "vast majority" again, no, he doesn't. He definitely doesn't like ADC (and he's worse than me at CSing on Marksmen, I believe, but he can drop his $0.02 here), so if we're duo botlane he supports me, but we don't do that nearly as often as we used to and WHEN we used to it was more me supporting him...Sivesh 2014
Not sure what your point is though RE: Klaz and me?-

I feel like it's already been said half a dozen times, but: K/D/A has a lot less to do with ranking than people think it does.
Not something I'd factor in for Support but that does seem to matter.-

What is he supposed to be nowadays? A jungler?In post 1455, zoraster wrote:graves is barely an ADC
EDIT: Serious question, not trying to be sarcastic.
EDIT2: I guess he's an AD caster now? He still mostly goes botlane, with a support, in an AD role. That's what I would categorize as an ADC, but maybe I'm wrong.-

WHEN DID THIS GLORIOUS REMAKE FEATURE BECOME A THING
We were prompted to surrender because of a player who DCed at the beginning of the game - we didn't even get 3 min in and a warning came up in chat, for everybody except them it said "Remake" on the endgame screen, but apparently they take a loss. That's AWESOME.-

Almost all it takes is time or an abnormal / test-worthy hardware setup to get accepted for opt-in PBE access, and the information is available on multiple sites like Surrender@20 and Rift Herald, not to mention in at least a dozen YouTuber video demos by now. Not spoiler-worthy and not a big deal at all, IMO.-

Agreed with Ray - give us a little more context for the ones where there's a lot going on (like the teamfights). I rewound once or twice just to make sure I knew which champ you were, even if it was pretty obvious based on the pwnage going on in each clip. Personal preference? Have a liiiiittle extra time on the end of each clip. I personally like seeing if there's any reaction to amazing plays in chat/allchat, like, for instance, in that Thresh lantern play.-

You would identify champions with these qualities and assess winrates across the spectrum of abstracted champions strengths? How would this be quantified, exactly? Would totally be interested in some data on this subject, 13/10 would recommend.In post 1949, Psyche wrote:one thing i'm interested in doing is using the "provides for the team" section of lolguru's champion pages to examine how abstracted champion strengths like "Poke", "Disengage" or "Zone Control" are represented within solo queue and contribute to winrates both overall and within/against particular team compositions-
