nvm.

pretty solid, I think I'm missing gaia magepunk and elderflames of the 'good' skins
but the thing is I've bought all of those skins over 2 different alts 😭😭😭

but at this point I just want gaia on my main the other two are mid imo

oxy is pretty clean with it

damn, yours is pretty nice too, esp what you did to match the colours, I defo don't have the radianite to do that lol. I stopped buying phantoms skins since the champs 2024 bundle since I don't really use the phantom anymore. The only skin I want rn is the gaias vengeance vandal but I haven't had it in my store yet

now that you mention it I actually have no idea, I've finished every battlepass from episode 1 act 3 onwards so that just must add up enough, alongside the skins I haven't upgraded

heres my inv (i kinda trolled with the scrolling so you might have to pause to actually see):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8L7W8CmF3o

the reason I want one so bad is because (I believe) I have every limited time skin (except for the first 2 BP's), and I'm sort of a completionist so I won't be happy until I do 😭

I made a post a while back asking how people got it, and I'd say 90% of people who got it knew someone at Riot. I'm ngl I don't know a single person who's gotten one by meeting a dev in game (except for streamers who say they met one, or people who post ab it)
Yeah what you say is true, especially the part where you said they'll not give one away just for being 'non-toxic', which probably means I won't be getting one from an in game encounter any time soon 😭

that's the one thing I haven't done, buy radianite. But I've wasted money on other useless skins. I'll send my inv soon

bro it looks clean

but yeah the amount I've spent on this game is unjustifiable its lowkey an addiction

I got the bleed one too 😭

I fw this idea heavy, just make it so the finisher of their classic has the same finisher as the vandal/phantom

I agree, he's better than what people make him out to be.
However what's going to determine whether I think he's good for the long term is how he's going to handle tier 2. He's done a good job with tier 1 imo but tier 2 is also really important (he's done some things right like extending the season but t2 needs a more systematic change imo)

I've always kept in on my vandal but it looks nice on a lot of phantom skins too, my friend uses it on recon
I just use the bronze buddy on my phantom lol

Red and Blue go hard sometimes ngl, don't knock it til you try it

but Red on Red is super clean though tbf so I see where you're coming from. I sometimes like using defaultesc skins so I bought the ego vandal, and the buddy with the red variant looks super clean
https://i.imgur.com/JCNGG5T.jpeg

I really hope the TL buddy is blue next year so I can use it with the prism phantom

anguist or lime?
I might have to fw BBL afterall

climbing ranked is unironically a test of mental endurance and patience. (assuming you have the mechanics and gamesense needed)

I'm tweaking I thought you made a post saying you were chill with them but I looked through your posts and it seems like I'm just yapping

Am I tripping or did he say n.... as in he stopped himself from saying it after pronouncing 'n'?

oh really I had no idea they could do that
I think asking for it basically kills your chances of getting it anyways. I try and be nice to my teammates regardless since it makes them play better so I'd hope I run in to one so I can get one eventually

I used it with the blue prime vandal for a bit it does go hard tbf

I thought you made peace with SEN fans 😭😭

What skin do you use it with?

I could've sworn they had an office in Paris

oh yeah for rarest the masters/champs/lock//in/gc might be but I mean obtainable for your average joe like me

I've spammed switfplays but I am NOT gonna do the second part 😭, and even then I've never seen a dev in one.
It's kinda funny you mention that since my name can be interpreted as feminine so people think I'm an egirl when I don't talk, then I reveal I'm a grown ass man at the end of the game.
And yeah this buddy is cool but icl I really want to run the red glitchpop vandal with the riot buddy (just like Derke did)

damn I gotta get myself one then
But I swear I've never seen a riot dev play this game 😭 and I defo don't have any artistic talent 😭😭

I queued a switfplay and some guy said my buddy is rarer than the riot one, is this true?

I use ion with 1 upgrade its pretty nice

bro is downvote farming

imo Munchkin
I want them to let Mako play his own game

apparently pretty much everyone who signed up didn't know what the prize was which is interesting lol

holy wow Sweden is lowkey built

imo you do, if you really want to reach an audience you make it as easy as possible for them to access it. This tournament isn't really meant to be competitive to the degree of AFTV (you don't have full tier 1 teams with weeks of practice), but for viewership instead. Plus you have to consider timezones. How many people are gonna stay up for a stream not in their language. I think it really would be better to wait and do it properly, I'm probably being ambitious but if by year 2 of a LxT WC if we can get a LAN in Europe that would be the time to do it

The way BLD just got fully crossed out 😭😭

I thought ab it but CN is a bit out there without having a benchmark of how an event like this will do. CN streaming rights and getting the CN players is gonna be a lot harder than the others, plus being able set up a whole separate stream in CN with CN casters is gonna add to the cost. I would defo want to see it eventually but I think for the 1st event play it safe, invite 8 big countries with relatively low setup cost

top gear and VCT 2022 enjoyer?? you know ball
(I guess I could've looked at the flair)

man top gear was so goated and now you've just reminded me its over 😭😭

idk I have like 2 followers which aren't bots and I have no clue how to use reddit. If you're familiar you're completely welcome to spread the suggestion

imo they should just invite 8 teams from the biggest countries for the first year to see if it works, qualifiers might be expensive and time consuming so I think it'd only be worth their time if year 1 of a WC format goes well

I think (Correct me if I'm wrong) JohnQT lives in Canada so he'd play for them

It heavily depends, absolutely no disrespect to Latvia or PH but for an 8 team world cup tournament I don't think they'd get their countries in. But lets say hypothetically a PH team was in, I'd give zekken the choice on which team he'd want to represent, just like the football WC.

But to answer your question, yes Zekken would hypothetically be team USA

by that do you mean 2025? since LxT 3 just ended.
Near the end of the stream he made the suggestion, and I thought it was a good idea so I made a post about it

This roster is good tbh, but to maximise viewership I'd go with:

Boaster, Benjyfishy, Keiko, Soulcas, Ardiis

(Ardiis uses the Latvian flag but he's lived in the UK for most of his life, and well... you can tell he's a scouser by listening to him speak lol)

imo that's completely fine. Imagine a double elim bracket, that's at least 2 games I get to watch my country play.
imo there's no shame in it being less competitive, trust me country vs country makes every game entertaining if you're from one of the countries

The thing is, it's an off season event, so imo it's completely fine if the rosters aren't minmaxed. I'll root for my team even if it's bad (I'm more than certain I'm not the only one who'd do the same). Also It's not the most nice thing to admit but a ton of people will hatewatch, and as the saying goes 'any publicity is good publicity' (in this context publicity = viewership)

nah I would want countries not regions/subregions. ik spike nations is a thing but LxT has way more reach. for 8 teams lets have:

USA
Canada
UK
France
Brazil
Japan
Korea
Turkey
(it doesn't have to be these countries, I've just put them as an example)
imagine how hard that tournament would go

Ludwig suggested doing a world cup near the end of the LxT 3 stream, and I personally think it'd be a great idea.
This year had an amazing format but I'd fw a world cup heavy. Even if they do this years format again it'll be great, best off season event in this game so far imo.

here's a few suggestions for countries (these are hypothetical, it doesn't have to be them)

USA
Canada
Brazil
UK
France
Turkey
Japan
Korea

That'll be 3 AMER, 3 EMEA and 2 APAC for example (APAC sort of gets the short end of the stick, but I think it'd have to be that way because of the timezones). I think inviting 8 teams from the biggest countries would be a good place to start, just to see if the idea sticks. 8 Is a nice number for a double elim bracket too so each country gets a minimum of two matches

holy shit 20 more in 3 minutes
bros going for nexusnomads record

my original goat

me (Let's see if chatgpt has changed it's opinion in the last 30 minutes)

idk too much about all of the t2 talent coming in this year so I might be too low/too high with those
