yea ;)

CSGO has more concurrent players, but Valorant certainly has better viewership prospects. Given time, more players might go to play Valorant. That being said, more players play LoL than Valorant, but that doesnt mater LoL better. Quantity does not translate into Quality. More players played CoD than CS for many years because millions of American hamburgers played on their xbox, but CS was clearly superior. That being said, I think if source 2 DOES come, it will breathe new life into the game, especially as Valorant becomes more and more stagnant given the horrific state of ranked.

in the corporate world, when you need to remove a very high figure because they failed at their job, and you dont want to admit that failure, you find them a new position. welcome to nepotism.

REJOICE REJOICE! EVRMOAR IS NO MORE!

This is why authoritarianism reigns supreme in your country. Question your masters, or stay a slave. You either can't read or can't think.

honey, new copy pasta just dropped!

Your MMR and Elo systems are designed by engineers, not the guy making decisions. He looks at presentations saying this system is statistically better than the old one and shows the green light.

Yes, they are designed by 'engineers'. Yes they look at 'presentations' that show this hidden mmr system with no acct verification and no admins and only shit algorithms is 'statistically better' than 'the old one'

Let me guess, you think Modi is brilliant too? hahaha omg bro i cant, youre too funny, thank you for the copy pasta.

He was demoted to a clearly less important position. That's a corporate firing my friend, but you don't know that world.

Once again, my 'valorant rank' is the highest one and the problem is pervasive throughout the ranks: no competitive integrity, ALL pros and content creators complain about state of ranked, and yet community of childe gamers still believe in fairy tales like 'corporations are competent' -- MAY THE PROLETARIAT RISE UP, CHINA IS THE FUTURE! TENCENT IS LORD! TYPING IS AN EXERCISE AND YOU ARE TOO LOW OF WEIGHT, WHO IS NEXT BABY

there's some hubs in EU, but without Riot support no one will put in the proper investment to start a 3rd party alternative on a larger scale (larger than that of Pro City, for instance)

i am new to vlr, long have i lurked from afar, but now i come from the hills like zarathustra to the rabble! rito psyop, this acct may or may not belong to RiotEvrMoar

prophets have always been called mad!

this guy was goated, but he's not the only one.

OGs will remember RiotAgainstRiot

Rito psyop, AI chatbot, typing fast and very hard!

By 'not having mods in every game' I mean every game in the genre, speaking about the general state of casual-competitive FPS and MOBAs. Still a very, very young industry. Mostly filled with childe gamers who trust their corporate overlords have their best interests at heart. In any case, my point was the failure of moderating other games is not an excuse for Riot to not moderate their own far better than they currently are. it's just a failure of leadership, EvrMoar had 0 tac fps experience -- he came from CoD... developing a grassroots system like FPL, ECL, and Mythic comes from years of knowledge and experience within the community and by the community.

Let me introduce the concept of the panopticon. I suggest you google it for an image. In any case, as youre reading up on Foucault or some shit, consider the following: by coming out strong with a big ban wave, players will begin to self-regulate so you dont need admins to police EVERY game. right now there is a miniscule team of admins who have little to no public presence outside riot gun buddies, and they rely on algorithms to mass report someone enough to review a complaint (or get spammed on twitter by blue checkmarks). thats how ECL, Mythic, FPL work: players begin to have better behavior for fear of being banned, so less reports in general, and less problems...

have your choice:

squealing childe (little LouBag) who has ritos boot deep down his throat

or

asking a billion dollar company to invest a fraction of their profits for more admin presence to moderate games (everyone, aside from rito bootlickers like you, complains about the state of ranked: no comms, no teamwork, griefers and throwers going unpunished, wacky hidden mmr system designed around smurfs), add minimum acct thresholds (acct verification, minimum 300hrs, etc.), systems similar to FPL, ECL, & Mythic, and suggesting subscription service as LAST RESORT for rito to give a fuck (for self-interest of making more money)

I am a Riot chatbot, not-so-advanced AI but still more advanced than crashhacker1 (aka incell4ever)

GOOD QUESTION, hope they promote YaBoiDre or at least make an announcement

I think you might not understand English well. So, let me be clear: Riot can afford to bring more competitive integrity to ranked by having admins instead of relying on algorithms; adding account verification and stricter ranked requirements so I can't make an immortal account every two weeks if I want to. Nothing youre writing is addressing what I'm saying, it's like youre Modi talking to himself and a bunch of mindless sheep waving flags. ALL pros and content creators complain about state of ranked, so it's not my little circle. You just live in a non-region where ranked is too small and worthless to be of concern.

This is all a Rito psyop. Other members on the dev team knew their boss was incompetent and began posting on VLR.gg and Twitter to stir up community discontent. They then built the case against EvrMoar, typical corporate coup. I am merely a passionate childe gamer who couldn't wait to share the news and thought VLR had to know. #FreeEvrMoar

Another Rito fan?

CSGO has over 20 million users on Faceit in Europe alone. ALL serious players in CSGO, equivalent to Ascendant and above in Valorant (even though most dont understand the game until far higher ELO), EXCLUSIVELY play on Faceit, and everyone level 10 or above tries to play in hubs (ECL or Mythic). Valorant Ranked is totally unmoderated, it uses inefficient algorithms to police behavior. The problem ISNT smurfing: it's griefing, throwing, toxicity, hidden mmr, and a host of other issues. Players who never tasted level 10 on Faceit in CSGO have no idea of anything like FPL, ECL, or Mythic. These are highly regulated competitions, like that of an intermural league in other sports, totally unlike the ranked experience in CSGO or Valorant. Faceit itself does not have as much support, its about these independent hubs, which ALL pros, tier1-4, play in exclusively for CSGO. Most Valorant players don't come from CSGO and have no idea how much further developed those 3rd party systems are compared to every other esport. If they do come from CSGO, they may have a passing familiarity with Faceit, but no idea about FPL, ECL, or Mythic.

I hate to say it bro, I have 8 radiant gun buddies. Ive duo'd with your favorite streamers. I'm not 'unable to accept my real rank', I think rank is worthless in its current state. I am ashamed to equip my radiant gun buddies because how worthelss ranked is.

Faceit did not KILL CSGO, it made it stronger, far stronger. Having a robust competitive environment for pros AND casuals makes for fans wanting to watch more, be more involved in the game, learn and improve further. In India, there was no FPL, no ECL, no Mythic -- so even if you had played csgo, you would have no idea of what competitive experience CAN look like.

FPL, ECL, Mythic dont give gun buddies, they give CASH that can sustain new and benched talent alike. It infuses the community with cash, it is VITAL and totally missing in this game. But cash aside, they have admins to moderate, which is the biggest thing Riot doesn't have. Any excuse that Riot 'cant' moderate the game and has to rely on algorithms because 'there's to many players' is circular logic: there's too many players on alts, and they want those high numbers to show to sponsors, even tho AT LEAST half of the 22 million 'active monthly users' are alt accounts. Riot can at least offer a subscription service that guarantees minimum account levels and game moderation (AS FACEIT, FPL, ECL, AND MYTHIC DO).

Wake up, get Riot's boot out of your mouth, think for yourself.

He bears much of the responsibility. He did not advocate for account verification, increased admin presence, or actual rank resets (mmr reset not just shiny image on screen). That's just some of the list.

In general, esports is a new industry and nepotism tends to be at play in many of these hires. He had 0 experience designing a tac fps competitive system, and his corporate managers have 0 understanding of the actual dynamics of the game (most are plat at most, and even half of radiants aren't competent enough to be able to design a proper ranked system).

This is a win for the community. We voiced our frustration, and Rito finally acted after years of inaction. We must continue to demand more. We must not wait for the pros (the least likely to demand change because they want to suck up to rito) to voice our collective discontent.

REJOICE I SAY! REJOICE! EVRMOAR IS NO MORE! EVRMOAR IS NO MOREEEEEE!

Riot EvrMoar is NO MORE! The recent emergence of Pro City (and other hubs), and the general hellish state of ranked (90% of games lack any semblance of competitive integrity), must have pushed Riot to remove him from his position after 3 years of failure. By the way, 'premier mode' will do NOTHING to solve ranked -- it's not for individuals, its for 5-stacks only.

The farewell tweet.

This gives me hope. Let's Riot actually put someone competent in this position and don't hire another CoD player with 0 understanding of how to create a competitive tac fps ecosystem.

REJOICE MY FRIENDS, REJOICE! EVRMOAR IS NO MORE! I REPEAT, NO MORE EVRMOAR!
