TROPHY CASE

“You’ve Got To Try This Soda”: Sony Patents Game-Interrupting Advertisements Scheme by mehgandavidin gamernews

[–]Sparrowsluck 2 points3 points ago

And here I thought the ads on the 360 were getting bad.

Riot, please give vision to hooked targets on Blitz's Q upon grab. by casual_fridaysin leagueoflegends

[–]Sparrowsluck 0 points1 point ago

Granting vision to an area or granting vision to a single enemy are basically the same in terms of making sense. The fact is his robotic hand has no source of light, so making an enemy champion become visible upon being grabbed is kinda silly.

A sound upon successful grab would serve to notify people of a good grab, and it would make sense.

I tend to think Lee Sin can hear if something hits, and that sound grants him vision, like a bat. So even that can make a bit of sense. Granting light to an otherwise dark area based on your success of grabbing something makes no sense at all. If I grab something in a dark room it doesn't suddenly have a spotlight on it.

Though I do agree a sound is just what he needs. A loud clank when his metal hand hits something would be good.

Yeah an audio cue would make much more sense than granting the area of your grab vision.

Unless Riot straps christmas lights onto his arms and hands for their next christmas skin.

So a laser made of light, a glowing arrow, and a glowing...thing all give light to areas they pass over?

Yeah that's pretty much how light works.

Mundo's splash art is not like him in-game. by Martinugglain leagueoflegends

[–]Sparrowsluck 4 points5 points ago

To be fair I'm sure more than a few people would consider the difference in his eyes to be major, especially considering how silly they look in game compared to his very cool splash. Just because I can still identify a champion from their splash art doesn't mean it's well done. Hell I could probably whip up a quick splash for someone in mspaint and you could tell who it is, that certainly doesn't mean my mspaint doodle is a well done splash art.

Colts before mares, bro.

Fuck I just can't think of a good pony alternative to, "bros before hoes," perhaps for the best.

I'm interested in A.R.E.S since I love that type of game and don't have many of those types for PC.

ROCKET STATES SPOTTED!!!! by reeruin KamenRider

[–]Sparrowsluck[M] 0 points1 point ago

I removed this since the title is a bit spoilery for people that don't know about rocket states.

Feel free to resubmit it with another title, something like, "New Fourze state spotted," or,"Pictures of the new Fourze states".

Oooo Fourze X OOO Mega War RAW is out. *Possible spoilers* by Illusion13in KamenRider

[–]Sparrowsluck 0 points1 point ago

Wow your profile is seriously bugged or something. Even though you are an approved submitter I still had to fish this comment out of the filter, and it didn't even make a notification pop up like all comment replies do. If you're not somehow doing this on purpose you should really send a message or bug report to the admins or something.

I hate to keep derailing this topic but since I can't reach your profile in order to PM you I have little choice. If you want to reply to this please PM me instead, I should be able to reply from there.

[–]Sparrowsluck 0 points1 point ago

Okay just what in the hell is wrong with your profile? Your page does not exist and every comment and submission you make gets filtered out, so I have to approve every single one.

I've made you an approved submitter, hopefully it works despite how messed up you are.

item limit by DA_BEAST295in Portal

[–]Sparrowsluck 0 points1 point ago

If you look in the console when you fail to build due to too many objects it will say something like, "-entity_limit' exceeded (2018 out of 1750)" By simply rebuilding the first number sometimes is slightly different, sometimes higher sometimes lower. Like instead of 2018 I might get 2020 or 2022. So this trick is useful if you're only a few off from the 1750 limit, and the only thing you need to do is click rebuild again, no need to save or quit.

Free to play champs will be made unavailable in Ranked! by mortiphagoin leagueoflegends

[–]Sparrowsluck 0 points1 point ago

You should also look into not enabling the newest champ in ranked for a week or two after it's launch. This would stop people from using champs they are inexperienced with in ranked, and it would prevent people from gaining/losing elo by simply using the newest OP/UP champ. It would also be another counter point to all the people that claim this game is pay2win.

Please format properly with quotes, it's hell trying to read your replies to my quotes when you type something this long.

My logic assumes that the loss in queue times to my allies is of lower cost than the saved time of other people who would have to encounter this troll in the future.

Your logic also assumes that reporting and banning this troll will make him stop. This is often not the case and only pushes the troll down to the lower levels for a time. So congrats for moving the problem down the line where only the new players and other trolls have to deal with it.

First. I don't think it's trolling.

Oh okay, if you think it isn't trolling it must clearly not be trolling then. Times like this I wish there was an eye roll emoticon.

I respond only to people who threaten to ruin he game for me and everyone else.

So when these people threaten to ruin your game you do your very best to make sure they ruin it? Seems like a good plan. If Riot IP banned or had any way of permanently preventing players from playing this game I'd say this might actually accomplish something.

They might imagine me raging at my computer at the end of the day for their own benefit, but in the end I imagine that constantly not getting to play the character they want is punishment enough for them.

Oh neat, you're both equally delusional.

The fact that he chose a specific character indicates that he does want to play that character and if you, me, and everyone else consistently shot him down every time that he tried to threaten us to play the character then he would derive a higher benefit from asking nicely.

Actually they pick two characters. X or feed. Most of them are pretty happy to play either role at the time they say it.

The reason this isn't the case is that people like you let these jerks have what they want enough to compensate for the times that people don't let them have what they want. The way I see it, I harm at maximum three people a given time I choose to call a feeder's bluff. You harm the entire community when you don't.

Cute but sadly wrong. The problem here is Riot isn't interested in keeping horrible people away from their game. If they were they would at least attempt a form of permanent banishment from the game. I mean yeah being a vigilante may save some lives but it's pointless if the cops in the town are complete shit. Instead of wasting energy fighting an endless battle with the sea of trolls why don't you put your time and effort to something that will actually matter? Like posting or emailing Riot about this issue. I have a feeling if all the would be vigilantes in this thread got together and started to make some noise in the forums you'd get a lot closer to a real solution than just playing whack a mole in game.

But I don't think solo queue would go downhill if you let those people get their role.

You fool, stopping rude people from getting what they want in a video game is the only way to prevent a total collapse of society. You're not an un-American terrorist that supports communist anarchy...are you?

If those three other people really don't want the loss then they can queue dodge.

"If they don't want me to feed they can just let me go mid." Funny how close your logic is to a trolls. It's also a very nice way to play ranked, I'm sure your team will thank you each time you make them dodge and lose ELO just because you can't handle someone being rude.

If someone says "mid or I feed" I will pick mid.

Oh so you intentionally decide to troll when someone asks for a role in a bad way. That's nice, I'm sure adding fuel to the fire will put it out. I hate to be the one to break it to you but they win regardless of what you do. Either they get to laugh at you and your team when they are feeding or they get to go play whatever role they wants. It's all the same to most of them, only the poor trolls are effected by this in the least.

He then will queue up again after that game and do the same thing to other players and ruin other peoples days.

Funny story, a friend of mine does this. He does this every game regardless of the outcome. He doesn't do this to secure a role for himself...well he does but that isn't his only goal. See, either he gets the role he wants or he gets to enjoy the fact that he made some people mad, like yourself. He cannot be punished, he has been banned several times but he keeps making accounts. He says the reaction from people is too funny to stop. He thinks it's hilarious that he has the power to force people like you to play certain roles.

At the end of the day you discourage some but encourage others. You don't make the difference you think you do.

The problem is, what gives you the right to do the stamping? If your team is trying to work around this person in order to achieve victory yet you insist on choosing the role he wants simply because you pick before him is that not also working against victory? Your team already has one person engaging in anti-winning actions, why does it need two?

Anyone who willingly avoids teamwork and communication is going to suck - both because of how much that hampers you and the type of personality to make that decision is obviously not centered on winning.

You mean like a majority of the pro players and streamers in this game? They hardly ever talk to their soloqueue teams. Does that mean they also suck?

Someone who demands a role, doesn't speak for a large amount of time, or says stupid things is not someone I am willing to switch for because honestly I don't expect them to be any good.

Yet again, the pros do this as well. Hell saintvicious doesn't even talk during champ selection. He just expects everyone there to know he has the god given right to jungle. I think SV is one of those players that I would consider good despite his actions. Assuming someone is going to be bad based on their level of arrogance seems silly. I mean there are lots of bad arrogant players, there are also lots of good ones though.

When someone demands a role it shows that they don't care about the team as a whole and shows that the player is not interested in winning as the primary goal.

Or it shows they are so focused on winning that they cannot trust that specific role to a random person. That role is so vital to the success of the team that they must take it upon themselves to do it and carry the team.

I don't see calling their bluff as trolling.

Well bully for you. If the majority of your team feels otherwise guess what that makes you?

The specific actions taken by a player who demands a role is strictly anti-teamwork.

Not talking to your team at all is anti-teamwork as well. You know who hardly ever talks to their team in soloqueue? A good majority of the streamers and pro players in this game. Does that mean all these people who engage in anti-teamwork actions are bad?

For that reason I cannot expect much of them - they have shown reasons for me to think they will be less useful that someone who did not demand a role.

So you would rather have a 100% chance they will feed than giving them whatever role they want to have a (probably) less than 100% chance of failure?

League of Legends community in a nutshell by laurenbostin leagueoflegends

[–]Sparrowsluck -1 points0 points ago

Alright let's run through a couple possibilities of what could happen after someone has said, "mid or feed".

He says this, your team decides it is fine and work around him, your team has top, mid, jungle, and mid just like a normal game. After a long game your team wins, turns out the guy that went mid is an amazing mid player who was tired of wasting his potential as a support. Despite your rough beginnings your team is happy and you had fun.

He says this, your team decides it is fine and tries to work around him until you proudly declare you shall right this injustice by going mid. Your team asks both or one of you to come to your senses and just pick another role. Neither of you blink, you both go mid. He feeds and your team loses. Both of you get reported for trolling and hardly anyone on your team is happy, except for maybe the guy since you were so upset.

You see? Very few things in this world are black and white. By trying to make the best out of a bad situation you increase the chance your team mates will actually enjoy that game. By playing chicken with the troll you pretty much guarantee hardly anyone on your team will enjoy themselves, you bring yourself down to his level, and you stand to be reported/banned yourself for adding fuel to the fire. This is a game, it's meant to be played for fun. If you spend your time in a game ruining your own fun and the fun of others just because someone else is being a jerk I think it's time to find a new game to play, or maybe a whole other hobby altogether.

While neo-nazi players I constantly face in my Elo range never had any trouble and keep playing to this day and spewing their racist crap.

How do you know this? Is there a way to check if they've ever been banned? Perhaps they have in fact been banned before and you're just assuming they haven't been? It's possible they were banned for a day, week, or even weeks and you wouldn't notice because there isn't any way for you to check.
