I mean, they have never monitored champion select or post game chat.

Uh, where did you get that info. They have all the logs from all chats. Why wouldn't they.

EDIT: Wazza, they HAVE to have all the logs. They can't risk end up going to court over something ridiculously silly only to lose because they don't have all the logs.

[JasonWazza]

Tribunal, even as recent as people like lonesomeranger (and i am sure there are more recent examples) who was heavily abusive in diamond elo but got away with it until there was a bunch of reddits posts and videos because riot don't monitor either.

Legit the fact that you think they monitor it shows naivety.

I'm not saying they don't have the logs, i'm saying they don't look at them.

Where's your proof the guy did before he got banned, then. Riot's said he's ogtten much better at communicating since his ban ended.

[JasonWazza]

Yes in what is effectively a PR stunt because they are getting shit for it.

[animorpherv1]

I'm still assuming you're talking out of your ass because reddit threw everyone into hysteria about this until you show proof. By saying you know something that riot doesn't, you're stating you have proof. Show me said proof or I can only assuming you're feeding off reddit, which is ALWAYS a stupid idea.

[Iecerint]

Wait what?

I thought you were random rolling, does that give blue essence?

Ya, it gives bonus blue essense most of the time.

[Iecerint]

(5100 IP for a champion + 3*chance[blue essence]) x n

vs

(4800 IP for a champion x a) + (6300 IP for a champion x b)

where n = a + b

[FakeGod]

NEW CHAMPION???????????

[Maestro]

(5100 IP for a champion + 3*chance[blue essence]) x n

vs

(4800 IP for a champion x a) + (6300 IP for a champion x b)

where

31 = 17 + 14

5100 x 31 = 158,100 IP + (some Blue Essence)
(4800 x 17) + (6300 x 14) = 169,800 IP

So I should be buying Shards with IP if I want champions?

[JasonWazza]

Unless you want specific champions.

[zoraster]

Very Kingsman.

(4800 IP for a champion x a) + (6300 IP for a champion x b)

5100 x 31 = 158,100 IP + (some Blue Essence)
(4800 x 17) + (6300 x 14) = 169,800 IP

So I should be buying Shards with IP if I want champions?

Well.

The other possibility would be to buy a certain number of 4800s first, and then shift to shards when some critical value is reached.

4800 < 5100 < 6300, so you could get all 4800s and then switch to spend even less IP.

But the free blue essense complicates this logic. I think 1 blue essense is about 19 IP, but it depends on how you count. That would mean that it's worth it if average free blue essense is at least 15 or so.

[Iecerint]

Though I can't remember what that conversion factor comes from, and that conversion factor seems wrong, as an Alistar shard gives 195 blue essense, so that's 1700 IP for a relatively "cheap" shard, which would translate to 1700 IP for 3705 IP worth of blue essense, which can't be right.

Ahhhhhh.

Ahhhhhh.

Dividing IP cost of champ by essence cost of champ gives me roughly 7.15 ip/essence. Granted, I have no 450 ip champs to add to that formula from my loot list to double check.

apparently when ivern Es someone, the damage is treated by the game as committed

by

that person; this might be a bug
this leads to statistics sites underestimating his damage output on the one hand, but more concretely it means cs taken with ivern's E is granted not to him, but the teammate shielded, making his support game more effective
similarly (i haven't confirmed this in-game), it might mean kill gold from kills taken with his E is granted to the shielded player rather than Ivern himself
consequently inflating his assist count while deflating his kill count
really interesting stuff

[Nosferatu]

i only play because my friends refuse to learn dota

story of my life.

[Psyche]

i'm sort of a cautious player who dies a lot less than other people in my elo, while my kill participation is around average
this makes me wonder if mejais would be a good idea in most of my AP picks

[animorpherv1]

Mejais is only ever worth it kf you are crazy snowballing.

[Psyche]

idk
in low elo games, kills happen left and right
the game i linked above involved 94 kills for example
if kill participation is high enough and i hardly ever die, then though i'm not snowballing (except in the sense that my mejais is stacking and my kdr is fine), my mere caution makes the item scale reliably

[JasonWazza]

The thing is this.

The ring is going even in stacks at 2 kills, Mejai's it's even on 2 kills and an assist.

The issue you have to remember is that even in low elo, if they notice you have a mejai's you are their target.

[JasonWazza]

Also i love how every queue fucks the API for a day or so till everyone realizes what it comes under.

The same thing happens with Janna's E and Nami's E to the best of my understanding.

[Ankamius]

Yeah I'm pretty certain that is intentional. It would be heavily unintuitive for supports to randomly get kills without directly attacking anyone since they're by far the most likely to have that kind of interaction with since they're the ones that build the 'buff' utility items and have it built into their kits, yet are also the role that are designed to be effective without kill gold or CS. It would affect balance in a really awkward way if it worked otherwise.
