I love when a game have 3 half, so fun, but it may be a little bit long and redundant.

What would be the solution to make it faster ? Reducing th 15s preparation bonus would be the minimum to me. Faster round ? TDM ?Maybe some werid shit, like 5s preparation

Abount redundacy I think some people proposed variation in money team have, so it's not vandal every round, like 5000 gold round 1, then 4000, then 2800, then 2000, then 800
Another possibility to gives everyone spells automatically and just make people pick between tier TDM weapon

Also something I would want to see is insead to invert side after each round (ABABAB model), to invert side every 2 round (ABBAAB model), this would be more fair especially if the map is one sided

So... Based on no datas ? Juste you see match and feel ?

If they are no artificial diversity, they will be no diversity, biggest subregion will just ruin the smaller subregion, it will just have a snowball effect, that litterrally what happenned to Taiwan and SEA in LoL

Well we will have more visibility if they are more hype in T2, visibility isnt something that you can just pick, it's more : How we hype people, and I think the solution is ensuring diversity

Model based on what ?

yup

"We could have" mean it didn't happent, but it could have been possible

No, if an ascended team go to world, only top 1 of asc will be promoted

tie and tie, and tie agian

Well, top 6 when they are 12 player is good, it's weird to not see a couple of them having a chance elsewhere

Thats the question I was asking mysefl, why when Faze retire really few of their player fond another team ?

Be glad we could have have 36 rounds

Middle ages of Valorant, everyone is mid

How would you do that ?

To me a good way to hype T2, to give more visibility and attire investor, it's better to ensure diversity, so you can have so cross-national matchup

I'm not talking about a full GC team, 2 of them are already qualified for BR next split, we are talking about 3 GC player and 2 males, if you find 2 crack, one or 2 really good GC player (Flor ?), you might have a team able to compete ascention (Especially in region where ascention are really bad, like in Amer where the level is kinda low)

Also, I think aca team are sustainable, they no cost a lot and will reduce the price of the people you gonna buy when player will be ready, it's a worth investment if you are goo enough to detect young people

Maybe the only country that call themself south NA

That was the system on LoL.

Riot doesn't want team sell slot, maybe the debat should focus on that, do you think that would be a problem ?

Also, wouldn't allowing aca to play ascension disincentivise other org to invest in T2 ?

Technically an aca team can play ascension and qual to T1 as long as they have 3GC player (In that situation, a structure would have 2 team in the T1)

To me it's important to buld an aca team for the future, and structure that will not do it, will miss a huge opportunity and be less competitive in 3 years

Half of maps ATM feature really good result on no sentinels, here is the WR of composition with 1 duelist, 1 Iniflash, 1 reveal, 2 smokes :

• SPL : 54%WR (16% PR)
• BND : 52%WR (60% PR) best comp is 100T comp
• BRZ (With a Duel flash instead of a Ini flash) : 58% WR (15% PR) best comp is GEN comp
• LTS : 86% WR (2% PR) best comp is EDG comp
• ABY : lack of data, but best comp seems to be EDG comp

I don't think you can sacrifice KJ Ascent, Vyze in Haven might be strong and you dont need another sentinel if you pick her, Icebox will probably never come back, Vyze will probably insane on Sunset and probably doesnt need another sentinel

But I agree, sacrificing flash instead of sentinel is also really strong -Sent and -Flash are both 53% WR, all of that will depends of Vyze strenght

I'm afraind they nerf us back.

I would rather have 4 star but a new star come back after 40s, so we cant pull+stun+fake+smoke+smoke during the exec

Everyone know that it's : i = root (-1) ...

(And this makes me Anguroot (-1)bok)

Sacrificing Jett and Raze that are consistent duel for a Yoru that have 46% NMWR during the whole year sounds mental

Omen + Astra + Jett/Raze + Sova/Fade + Vyze (Filling sentinel and flasher role)

I would be coach I would recruit 2 main smoke, this meta is back thanks to Astra buff and Vyze appearance

Wish will probably be less toxic than having 5 stars already put in the field I think

Full of aussie !

Just give her one new star every 40s

Most consistent was without any doubt Bleed esport, last in kickoff, last Split 1, Last in Split 2, only one win during the year, they are the definition of consistency

What are you talking about, top 5 team have 10 foreign player, half of T2 CN is polar bear

Technically they can play in both and are not consider as imports

Top 5 of ascention have 2 import, thats terrible for the region, that is still too weak

XLG have 3-0 them, so they doesnt sound s the favorite to me

Nyan

I hope he will stay with mommy Potter

Cant wait to see at least 2 GC team in the T2

I'm kinda sure Riot didn't say no to FLC and it's just FLC that did say no to Riot

At least I pass the consistency test ^-^

But yeah I value conscience a lot and I thinks it's a major thing in human evolution that shaped the human race

"The ones who come here to practice their English"
Fuck thats me right ? I'm practicing oral here

Animal have a conscience, not a human one, but still a conscience, Foetus have not, here is the big difference.

I'm not 100% sure it could be possible to have empathy toward animal without conditioning (some of them might have slighitly human behavior and that's may help a lot), it's possible, since it'a a conscience, but I kinda think the fact a lot of TV show for children showing anthropomorphized animal that are able to talk make in people unconscious a fertile ground to develop empathy toward animals.

PS : Thats also why it will be less accepted to kill pet, they have been domesticated by human, so tend to react more to human, communicate, and be closer to human conscience

PS : Accepting to change opinion on minor things may allow me to keep my consitency, or sometime make some minor change my my view on the world, I think showing me an inconsistency is kinda a force to me

"Do you apply the same logic to the fact people feel bad killing animals i.e. cows, dogs, birds, chickens, anything really."
In every animal that eat other animal, cannibalism doesn't really exist, seems they are a majority for animal to accept to kills other animals, as I say later, I'm talking about human conscience, and I don't think the want to not kill any animal is something that is so hegemonic in the human kind that someone that would lack of empathy threw animal would be considered as an exception and someone that have psychic disease. In one short sentences "Empathy toward human is universal, empathy toward animal isnt" (And both for evolutionnarty reason). BUT I value democracy and if a majority is against killing animals, well ok.

"not everyone has the same level of empathy"
It's not a question of level, it a question of having or not, if you dont have, then you're a sociopath and thats a mental illness, when empathy trigger, then you can make rules

"Even in the abortion example, 50% of women will tell you they would feel bad for the baby and 50% will tell you they don't care about the baby."
If you feel bad after an abortion depend on if you believe you killed a sentient human being or just meat, religious have enough power to make women doubt, but the fact is that the conscience that draw the line, and this is science, not religion.

"This is where having strong foundations comes in and finding a worldview that goes deeper than our emotions."
My worldview isn't based on "emotion", empathy about theoretical hypothesis is important to make rules, not to take decisions, this is 2 different things. When you make a rule you can put yourself in the shoes of everyone that can be concerned with the law, when you have a concrete case, then empathy might be a poison because for one or another reason you will empathize more a camp than another

If he goes to M80 it's hilarious, would be the 4th ex-XSET to join them

"what is the source/logic to determine whether or not something is wrong or right?"

Subjective, but I think they are some common ground with every people in the world deeply tied with thing that everyone have : empathy (except people with mental illness), empathy make us care about well-being, and well-being is deeply linked that science that are the thing that can prove what have as a consequence of well being, and all of this is also deeply linked with Rousseau "social contract"

Abortion is a bad exemple, if we take the "well-being" and "empathy" rule, we can say that the moment where the foetus stop being "a part of her mother body" and become "his own body", is the moment human conscience emerge (And if I would be logical at is finest, I would say that the day we where born is the day our conscience arrive, and not the day we breathe for the first time, I would have no problem to go with that logic, and I would have no problem with considering that they are a part of subjectivity saying that society isnt ready for that yet)

I think i'm kinda god to defuse why 2 situation arent the same, allegories are not that perfect.

I need a specific subject cause I have a lot on view on everything.

For the law question, I have different point of view if i'm the one that make the rule or the one that have to follow the rule, or the one that have to be political or not.

If i'm the one that make law i'll consider spirit of the law > law itself (like in rugby, contrary to football), if not you create loophole, the problem with that system is that they are a glimpse of arbitrary, but you can modulate that by making a council where everyuser can say if that's break the law or the spirit of the law to avoid arbitrary.

If I'm playing a game and rule > spirit of rule, i'll have no problem finding loophole and using them for make the legislator change the rules, and they are always a lot, people are bad at doing rules, and loophole/WorstCaseScenario and scenario to avoid it always flash me without having to even try to find one (When 2024 format was out my first though was litterrally "Thats a good format expect 5 team can end in 6-0 and 2 of them will be out, they should do intra-group before crossgroup to solve this"), if you say to the one that make the rule they are a problem and this a solution they will probably deny it and just make it as everything is ok, people are really bad to analysis consequences of their decisions. I fucking hate dumb rules (My best weakness is my horrible English)

If we talk about political rules, then I'll consider justice > rule,

On what subject specifically ?

On what server ? I'm trying to guess what would be the most optimal server for Israel T2

I'm just digging into the data, and the data tend to tell me she may be more a 2nd controller than something else, she is sooo hard to classify

"The abilities of agents under this role focus on defensive play, with emphasis on supporting the rest of the team through providing intel, anchoring down sites, and preventing the enemy from flanking."
"The abilities of agents under this role allow them to assist their teammates by cutting enemy vision, taking control of an area, and forcing enemies into choke points."

Providing intel and anchoring site define more Sage than cutting ennmy vision, taking control of Area and forcing chokepoint ?

I see nothing in her gameplay that make her more a sentinel than a controller

More I think about it and more I think I will start to classify Sage as a Controller

"The abilities of agents under this role focus on defensive play, with emphasis on supporting the rest of the team through providing intel, anchoring down sites, and preventing the enemy from flanking."
"The abilities of agents under this role allow them to assist their teammates by cutting enemy vision, taking control of an area, and forcing enemies into choke points."

Wish one fit the more to Sage ? Controller one.

Also if we look at teamcomp, is sage more paired with another Controller (Meaning she is a Sentinel) ? Or not ? (Pushing into something more ambiguous)
On 111 games

And don't tell me "Well, she is 2ndary sentinel she cant be played without another sentinel", ok ? So why they are so many composition without a sentinel, 19% of teamcomp in 2024 are without any sentinel... (Are are really strong : Bind, EDG on Auyss and Lotus, GEN on Breeze)

I think Sage is the first controller that is isn't a smoker...

Why so mush hate, it's kinda ok logo no ?

So... Who ?

This offseason is wild I basically do 1 video per day if I have the motivation
