      Yeah that segment was kind of disappointing. As someone who watches Destiny, I think they're actually right about some things like how his style is by definition going to include being bad faith at times, since he gets into heated arguments, and Destiny himself admits that he won't back down and will only reflect on things after the fact, however I think some of what they said is outdated (he used to be much worse about it, so that's probably what they remember) and also the fact that they said he bullies people by being very woke is definitely not the case.
      Oh well, I think they could actually have some interesting civil conversations with him if they wanted to, but also I feel like they're all opinionated people where one thing could set off an argument and make them hate each other more haha, so I don't see things changing

      @ParallelZuVega Před 4 měsíci

      What I don’t get is why it has to be so extreme nowadays. There’s multiple champs sitting at 55% or more win rate all the time, often in multiple roles.
      I think it was in season 9 when they buffed AD Neeko to 58% wr accidentally. Guess what, they hotfixed it and kept nerfing it out of the game because noone wants to play vs a CC mage that auto attacks you like a 6 item Kog‘maw.
      5 years later they just needed to buff AD TF to the point where he’s a viable ADC and top and they just leave it for weeks. I get that players are gonna test out an unfamiliar champ when it gets buffed and that excites them + sells skins. But do we have to have Maokai, Zac and Twisted Fate run soloq and pro for 3 months straight?

    • @znojnyj
      @znojnyj Před 4 měsíci

      @@ParallelZuVega One possible explanation is that they don't actually know what they're doing, another is that they don't actually care what they're doing, and the third one is that they're doing something else altogether cosplaying as a gaming company
      It's a bit like modern schools cosplaying as needed for development or whatever while being anything else but
      They unironically made the game (and not just the last few years) about being a little passive-aggressive bitch, not trying to win hard enough so that you would burn out and bottling up your [often very justified] frustrations
      So it's not a game or a business first and foremost - it's a sandbox for 'the boys' (whatever their higher management inner circle's called) to have domain over
      You can see the same things in places like Soviet Union - it proclaimed to be the paradise for the working class (even though initially there wasn't much of a working class) in the making meanwhile turning the whole country into a military plant (unironically) and populace into slaves
      The only real difference is that Riot have to deal with competition (somewhat), that they can't force as many people to deal with them, and that they keep most of their powers in a videogame (if someone wants to draw that distinction)
      Other than that, it's just not what it says on the tin, it's not what they actually care about, and there are bound to be some "inefficiencies"
      To be fair, Riot is a gift that keeps on giving in many ways and the fact that no one has made a successful League competitor (in my opinion) should also tell us something about the world we live in
      Yes, Riot is a dictatorship but whenever I see a despotic regime in history or nowadays I have to start wondering how much the normies are to blame for the situation
      My current incling is that 'a bit more than completely'
      Riot may be as bad as they may be but their commercial success must mean that there are enough downers tolerating whatever bullshit that they're being fed and not withdrawing their financial support from a company that treats them worse than cattle
      TF not being hotfixed for 3 months is, in my opinion, a reflection of moral poverty that the humanity is living in
      I honestly think that we should fix the "demand" part of that problem
      I think that once there are enough people with a spine in the world they won't even have to fix most problems - the problems will just evaporate away

    I disagree with them saying that it would be unfair to the new players if an old champ is being played and them not knowing what it does. Its like how a new champion comes out, you find out during the game.

The old champs are simple and easy to understand

      Everyone is on the same playing field with a new champ and have the same amount of time to master them. A veteran player can pull out an old champ they used to one trick 6+ years ago and gap a new player who has never played against this dated style of champion. I don't necessarily think this is unfair, as that veteran is using his experience as his advantage, but I do see the point they are making.

    I think you guys are overestimating how difficult it is for new players to start playing. My wife started playing at the beginning of 2021, whereas I began in 2013, and she's had very little trouble remembering what champions do etc. She doesnt play PC games of any kind, but she loves league. If people like playing the game, they will learn it pretty easily. As far as getting new champions and skins for free, its actually the easiest its ever been. Yeah 164 champions or whatever the number sounds rough at first, but its really not unless you sit down and just start trying to memorize it all without ever playing. My wife is nailing it and she doesnt watch guides or anything, I help her and thats about it. My wife also loves watching the pro scenes too.

He's on record saying he doesn't really care about if they didn't want him on the team (he said he knew it woud be a longshot of a team idea too), it's just the TWO FACED nature of Dodo that upset him and how he believed Dodo was lying to steve/not acting in steve's intent

    I think what makes playing for bot to counter Smolder is that theres grubs and support is allowed more gold to support the team allowing smolder to waveclear. Kill lanes would be the way to go but with other objectives there isnt enough time.
    There is a ridiculous power curve from 125 to 225 and he became my fastest lv7 champ. His waveclear is ridiculous he is a ad that can be let alone to stack. Q W R can all be used to be safe. He plays like an extreme ability caster with no use for aa besides fleet speed boosts.
    I do like playing him but rito loving the power dragon fantasy. 😂
    Crit ads in theory should outscale due to the builds of smolder, and the inherent stacking of cdr. I do think at the moment samira is the only typical adc that just outright beats him within a kill lane.

That was his THING, but he also was an incredible late game teamfighter

    as far as the One tricks crying about their champ being locked for 2/3rds of the year, I honestly think the mass majority of people who are one tricks, (myself included) will more than likely just find 2 other champs to one trick during those other parts of the year. I think the feverish ones who will refuse to play the game if they cant play their one champion are much much fewer. i think the majority of people would just pick up 2 new champs and call it a day.

There’s just too many fun champions in this game to only play one. If you only like one champ and none of the other 150+ you probably just don’t like the game very much let’s be honest lmao

He is more similar to players like Bo, Showmaker, Prince, Canyon, Chovy. There’s a lot more recent examples of Stars from the start. Or at least extreme upside players IMO

Like Don't get me wrong Kiin is a good player but how is he just immune to Criticism for absolutly running it down while getting team resources and throwing them away. If anything this shows the Value of the rest of the team of GenG in SPITE of how Bad Kiin has actually been this split.

    kameto was out of line, but you’re missing the thing that made Karmine.
    Karmine is a UFO in esports. it is a team that came from the poor Parisian suburbs and can say feck you to an investor and not go in LEC yet coz it would lose control. it is a team that can once in a while take a decision for the fans rather than for results. And say it loud and proud.
    I hate the toxicity of some, i’m out of sync with the generation, but you have to give it to them, KC is alive, and giving a proper chance to the players that carried them in ERL for years is classy… And if you’re not the best being classy is the second best thing. that’s why they fill stadiums with showmatches during esport winter, and are building their very own
    all the other teams are PR boring BS, except g2 but its easy for g2 they win everything here

    If anyone actually watches Destiny, you know that everything they said about him now is just wrong, and if they did follow his arc, he talks about his prior self (when they knew him) and explains, why and how he changed, and what he hasn't. You would also know that he hates the left as much as the right, they seem 5 years behind the times.
    The comparison with Slasher tops it off as Destiny called Slasher and the whole fucking internet out (left and right) on r/wallstreetbets stuff 2 years ago , on his own before GameStop crashed and wrote a manifesto on the whole fucking thing before everyone else.
    You don't ike him, we get it, he absolutely can be a horrible bully to people, but just say you don't know wtf you're talking about anymore as I haven't talked to him for 10+ years rather than inject your own intuitions and biases on someone who absolutely can seem and is sometimes pretty unempathetic and hard to understand.

    I usually agree with you guys but the doublelift section was very misinformed. He said multiple times hes 30 and not the best adc, he said he knows dodo doesnt like him because he didnt try hard in spring and his actions have consequences. The drama was the fact steve "allegedly" wanted doublelift and jojo. But dodo blocked it and ended up getting neither because dodo wanted to get his friends onto the roster. The real issue the disconnect between the owner and manager. If dodo isnt acting in steves best interest then hes not doing his job. There is a chance steve and dodo were on the same page which is why dodo isnt fired. But the drama isnt about doublelift thinking hes amazing.

And talk about hypocrisy, he claims DL is on the Co-stream endlessly reminiscing about the old days--ImaQTpie, Scarra etc.--when that's actually Thoorin's gig! How many YEARS did Thoorin talk about his hero Froggen after that guy had been fossilized? How many thousands of references to Rekless has he made? How many times has he referenced his own "good ol' days" on some cast that so pixelated now you can barely make out his goofy face?

    Sad to see your opinions on Destiny from 10 years ago, especially since it is obvious you haven't watched any of his content minimum the last 5 years. It would be a lot more interesting to actually criticise a position he has on a topic rather than just character assassinate him based on his past and pretend he is just another lefty when his self defense arguments and edgyness to be fair got him banned from Twitch. Probably one of the few content creators that has a back bone in the political scene and just doesn't preach on a left wing or right wing audience. Also Swedish teenager when she was 21 jesus.
