Allow Remake on Games Where No One Has Smite

RookPusher··4 votes·1,992 views

Spare me your "but the abuse potential!" arguments. I don't care. The only abuse around here is the troll I have to try and carry getting free LP off of me rarely, and more often than not the 40 min agony I have to suffer.

Riot, tell the do-nothing staff in the back that breaktime is over.

Provided that the jg role who didn't take smite gets punished I guess so its not abused??? -_-

I can see instances where someone wouldn't take smite for some form of off meta thing that they are trying....

The problem here is you are directly making them lose lp and not even giving them a chance to play the game...its like kicking a smite nunu support from the game and forcing a remake where he has to suffer.

Yes, this is an important point. If you're assigned to Jungle, and you don't take Smite, the game can be remade AND it operates as a loss for you as an individual.

Regarding your other arguments, I would say this:

  1. I don't know that it's fair to be using smite-free strats in solo queue. While it should be mandated to take to Flex, I do think it's reasonable to say we should encourage people to bring it to Flex.

  2. I'm all for off-meta, but in solo queue how often do we really think that's happening?

Terribly dumb idea... very glad you aren't in a position where your ideas matter.

spits "Spectacular argument" as his argument.

take it to r/stupidpeople little kid

Im not on the op`s side but all the op did was say that the other individual didn't bring any facts and therefore he was not liable to bring any counterfacts…

"spectacular argument" was clearly harmless sarcasm, and again, he didn't even have to say that because he was not liable to counterarguement as he had no points to counter just someone lowkey making fun of him.

But then you come along and insult him further....

I am not insulting you I am just making you selfaware of the situation that you are in.

here, i'll make it better. Your argument is bad OP. Remake with smite is a very very very very very very bad idea, and if they don't take smite just dodge. If they are trying a boosting strategy such as duo top duo bot and solo mid, let them unless you don't want to play with this strategy. I'm saying that there are many flaws to your argument and that you should probably reconsider your statement and it's consequences. Better?

well you can someone just as to afk and not connect and the rest of you can remake. in my opinion it would be the person who messed up

I'd rather they let people change summons before they leave the fountain the first time because then as long as it is broadcasted to the enemy its exploit-ability is limited.

Remake because no smite is just going to be heavily exploited. Even best case scenario the jg would just lose LP when they could of had a least somewhat of a chance to win the game without it(seen it happen plenty of times).

Bad idea OP just go next on this one.

That's fine. I'm not married to this one concept, but the remake concept comes out of the position that - if we're going to allow remakes for DC's (where they have just as much ability to win) - then why not for other situations in which the next 30 minutes is assumed to be blown.

And that's sort of the central argument I'm making. Where's the line on what is allowed for a remake? If the jungle doesn't connect, we all get to remake the game. If the jungle forgets smite? Tough shit, play it through.

I'd love your "fix it at the fountain" idea, and think that's a fine alternative. But since he remake has been established, I'm asking for it's definition to be expanded. Riot needs to do something, and so far we've been given nothing.

This is brilliant, why hasn't Riot implemented something like it yet?!?

Nah, what about games where people want double top, double bot, one mid?

It is a dumb idea because it will be abused. The uneducated / uninformed will say the abuse doesn't matter and those kinds of people aren't worth the time to fully explain howthe abuse wouldbe gamebreaking.

Rofl, yea, me, an adult, with a graduate degree, really wants to compare linkedin profiles with some little kid that probably works in fast food, yet will claim to be a harvard garduate on a website that people can lie on.

You are out of your element. None of that would even be relevant, son. But what is relevant is the fact that I'm a 5 year diamond player with loads of game knowledge while you are some of 300+ gake bronze 4, with absolutely no game knowledge or game sense.

Too easy to abuse because if you don't like the match up you can just not take smite and remake. Playing kha and enemy picked a bunch of bruisers? No worries, just don't take smite and remake until you are against a team of mostly squishues. Pretty basic, not sure why this needed to be spelt out for you, but obviously your linkedin profile isnt helping you win or learn The game, son.

You sure sound like an adult. Multiple posts and calling someone son? If you're so good, and if no one at your level of game play forgets Smite, then why would you care about this proposed change?

If everyone in diamond takes smite, then you should be fine with a vote being allowed on a remake, when a jungler forgets smite, and with that jungler taking an LP loss. But based on your actions here, you're not.

So what gives?

Because I have enough game knowledge to know that forcing a summoner, even a widely used one, is s terrible idea. With current changes to jungle and the complete nerf to early game farming due to later level 3, not getting full lane gold if you gank / hold a lane, that I wouldn't be shocked if builds came out where smite wasn't used. Certain champions, like nunu, don't evenreally need smite. In a competitive environment someone should be allowed to do whatever they think will make them win. If someone believes they can pukk off a roaming support playstyle then they should be allowed to try.

As others stated, it isn't your team mates fault that you are hard stuck multi season bronze....yet your posts seem to be based on the idea that you are at a Certain rank due to unfortunate team mates, but the truth is that every gsme you are on your team and that is the common factor in your losses.

You're making an awful lot of assumptions - At no point did I say, nor so much as imply, that my teammates are the reason I'm in Bronze. You've added this in because you've projected that argument on me. Go back and read my posts. They're all there, unedited.

This was a solution to a problem. It was a proposal. People propose things all the time on these boards, and rarely do I see multi-post, unhinged rants in response. If you didn't like it, you could have just down-voted and moved on rather than accuse me of blaming others, assuming I'm a kid who works in fast food, and presenting little to nothing in the way of a rebuttal.

The CBA on allowing a vote on remakes vs. allowing the freedom to go jungle without smite isn't high, or realistic. The chances that someone forgot smite compared to trying some off-meta strat, but like most folks on the boards you want to present this trace-element of a possibility the legal standing of what is plan an obvious to the wide majority of the playerbase - that some folks just forget to take smite.

At least your dad owns a dealership. You brought your dad into a post.. you are a kid.

Your post is basucally about how games in bronze are unwinnable because of your jungler. You also have posts saying yi uscheat codes and can 1v5 easily. I can't take you seriously.

You took me seriously enough to forum stalk me. But not enough to comprehend what you're reading. My dad owns a dealership is a reference to Brolaf, which that conversation was addressing.

I won't begin to try and determine where you based the rest of your ad hominem attacks from. This thread, despite your best efforts, is about a proposed solution for improved QoL in solo/ranked. Take it or leave it.

And if you bother to stalk any further, I'm sure you'll find numerous mentions of my age, career, and graduate degree. I wish you all the best with your struggles.

People try crazy shit in bronze 4, your elo. You can't control what your teammates do. Literally everyone in bronze is super bad so they get to try lots of stuff. So i mean if u don't like this then up your skill level and get out of bronze. simple. Get good.

I don't know where to begin here.

A. We can't control what people do. That's why I'm asking for some control.

B. Being bad means they get to try lots of stuff? Says who? The conventional wisdom is "You have to know the rules before you can break them." I've never heard anyone say the inverse.

C. People "try crazy shit" not out of experimentation but because they don't know they way that's most successful. There's a massive difference between a Psychedelic Prog Rock band and a group of people who can't play their instruments.

D. It sounds like you just wanted to shit on Bronze players. I hope it made you feel good because you made some pretty horrible arguments in public.

PureGold6691 votes

My point is that if you are good enough, you will get out of bronze. People in bronze ELO are bad and try stuff that they shouldn't do, like first timing in ranked. You need to get good enough to carry them, and then you will get out of bronze, and this smite nonsense will rarely happen anymore. There, I dumbed it down for you. Good?

You can't dumb it down enough for it to be logical. People forgetting to take smite isn't a skills problem.

PureGold6692 votes

it isn't, but they are focused on other things like looking at champion.gg or op.gg to find runes and builds bc they're bronze, like you, and don't know anything about the game, like you. They often aren't paying enough attention to the game and they are watching fortnite let's plays, like you. See, you know i can see you forgetting smite a lot

In bronze 4 I could unbind my summoner abilities and still 1v9 carry with a 100% win rate... if you k ow the game at all it is incredibly easy to win in bronze, regardless of your team mates. You don't knowthe game at all, despite playing it for years and years... you've never left the rank of bronze, after thiusands of games. It looks like you have a learning deficiency of some sort.

It can be used in premades, take turns changing out who is jungling, dodge unfavorable games with no smite. But even if you put out guidelines to punish it, it wouldn't matter. With how the meta constantly changes it would be dumb to force a summoner on a role. Top isn't forced to take tp, support isn't forced to take exhaust,, adc isn't forced to take heal... but those are all things I wanna see.

Stop blaming your team mates for why after thousands of games theoughout many seasons you can't climb out of bronze 4/5, where you stay.
