I don't know what to think about this. In my fantasy league the scoring is set to first two games. I don't know if this is a bug, but apparently C9 Impact, who was subbed out for Ray the first two games, did not play the first two games of the second match against Dignitas. Because of this, I lost my game. I am not mad, but I am a very competitive person and so I am just wondering if this is actually a mistake. The rules specifically state, and I quote from the official LoL Fantasy website: "Option 1: First 2 Games (Default)

This option emphasizes fairness between regions and rewards consistent performances.

Only the first two games in each match are worth fantasy points. The most balanced option. NA and EU players will likely score similar fantasy points."

As it states only the first two games count, however the third game counted and C9 Impact received points on the third game instead of having no points for the first two games. I emailed riot about this and their response was to post this onto the boards, so here it is. Do you guys think that this is a bug, because honestly I think the points should be taken away. It should be the players responsibility to draft players appropriately and to be aware that there could be substitutions at any time. Again I am not mad or anything I just want to know if this was intentional or not. The link above is the screenshot of the scoring.

Anyways thank you for your time and good luck on the Rift,

Chanteon

Impact could have recieved points because it was the first game that he played in that specific series and the method of scoring doesn't specify if its the first two games of the series or if its the first two games that the player plays in said series.

Yeah I agree with this. I see how the exact rules would make this false (it specifically says "Only the first two games in each match are worth fantasy points" WORTH being key." Meaning no fantasy points should be handed out for tiebreakers (3rd games).

But I can also see, and personally agree, with the First 2 games the player PLAYS should be given out points. Subbing is hard (not impossible) to keep track of, but for the past couples years a few coaches have leaned to subbing players depending on the last games performance (not to be mistaken with subbing based on comp/meta). This would be practically impossible to track and coaches are making that decision in the moment, the moment after your picks are locked. But I can still see how you feel cheated, competitively speaking.

Just kinda comes down to a common sense thing vs what the rules specifically say. I lean to common sense, but I can see the other argument.
