I'm done with League of Legends

Until Riot fixes these horrendous FPS issues Mac users, and Mordekaiser players in particular, have to endure. Try navigating through a teamfight with 5 FPS, it's not very pleasant.

Welp, seems I'll have to stick to playing Warframe for the time being.

Oh thank god, finally. I've been petitioning Riot for years to ruin Mordekaiser until you left.

I've lost count of the amount of times I've run into you on the boards. I mean every time I come on and look around I find you ever since my first post. I must say kudos though to never giving up on Mordekaiser ever since the roller coaster that was his rework.

^ A roller coaster that derailed and blew up an orphanage. Clearly Metal hasn't given up on Morde, but Rito did. They don't even know what to do with him anymore. We Morde mains are in an interesting spot.

Wow, I've never seen a blue name on the boards before. :o I have no idea what that means, but I assume that means you're better than everyone else here. :P

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

You're absolutely correct.

Jk :3

Blue is for Arbiters, which you can learn more about here; http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/opVBd7rZ-introducing-the-arbiters

We'll have blue names and the title while posting on the Misc. and PB&M boards. If you have any questions pertaining to the player behavior systems we can probably help, and if not we can point you in the right direction.

Mac users

Well there's the problem.

DeloricVI1 votes

Not really. The problem is more with the developer's attitude than the system itself. Most developers don't bother to code games for Mac taking into account the system itself, when Macs are just as powerful and capable of running games as PC's

Let me refer you to Poe's Law.

At this point, it's hard to tell when people are actually 100% ripping on Macs, or just pretending to rip on Macs and being sarcastic.

That being said, I do game on PC, but what I said is true; Mac computers have the potential to be easy to design for and just as good as a PC if not better. I've developed apps for both and and kind of sick of Mac computers being a running gag.

Rise is God3 votes

Mac computers aren't a Gag though.

Its literally the same hardware that is being used, just more friend user based GUI. A less friendly developer side of things. And a overasfuckedpriced pricetag on every single apple product.

I don't blame riot for wanting to code their game correctly for the majority of their community and not the lesser half. While I do believe league of legends is far from being bug free and has 0 consistency throughout every single patch/update. So as far as I'm concerned if you are sick and tired of being left in the lesser half, then switch computers or stop complaining. It's a free game. You don't like it, go play something else.

When I see someone attempt to use the words I game and mac in the same sentence I laugh really hard on the inside.

DeloricVI1 votes

Wow, the amount of wrong in this post. Where to begin.

Mac is less friendly to the developer? I'm sorry, what? I haven't found a single good API for windows that doesn't totally shit the bed and die. Not to mention that Mac has plenty of more useful tools to use when it comes to parallel computing (i.e. Grand Central Dispatch) and comes with some great free tools, where PC only has licensed API's, that if you don't pay for the support package on, you're pretty much fucked.

Overpriced? Yeah, that's actually fair.

You also have a fair point when it comes to the majority of the community, but I have a problem with it because it feels half-assed, kind of like they're throwing up their hands and going "Ok, fine, if you'll just shut the fuck up, we'll do something. Have this inferior version on your platform."

Sick and tired of being in the minority!? Way to read my post! I play this game on PC! I explicitly stated so in my post!

Your last line proves my point; when it comes to gaming Mac's are just as good as PC if anyone would bother to give the Mac versions the attention they deserve. Your attitude is basically the one that everyone has, and it's just plain silly. Mac's don't have OS or hardware problems, they have an image problem.

I hate my ADC3 votes

Mac got more than just an image problem...

Mac is like Linux but instead of open source it's closed source. Most of its libraries are copyrighted and it's a pita for a developer to do anything that require to delve into those libraries. Because you know... you can't go look in them. Mac is great for Web or simple apps development. It's fast and efficient but for a large software, it's the complete opposite. Because Mac add transparency between the developers and their tools, it makes it much harder to develop anything that doesn't follow the rules set by said tools. Not only that, but you can't even develop for Mac on Windows without dual booting. Even when using an IDE like Unity3d which can compile for iOS, you still need a Mac to use the compiled code.

Mac has a lot of pros, like ease of use, user-friendly, virus free, etc. but when it comes to gaming, those pros don't mean shit when it is showered with cons.

Rise is God1 votes

They have like 1 pro.

User friendly. That's it.

Ease of use, well windows has that as well. Virus free, lol you're a moron if you think that mac have no viruses or malicious content developed for them. etc? etc what?

There's nothing else you have going for you.

You are literally getting the computer because its user friendly, when buying a windows machine spend the extra 200-600$ you would save over getting a mac to get yourself a fucking tutor to use windows if you are that incompetent with computers.

I hate my ADC1 votes

I hate Mac with a passion and I don't own any Apple product. I have no clues how you could come to the conclusion that I was defending Mac.

I'm not defending Mac. But I'm not bashing it either. I actually understand the difference. Windows is just as bad as Apple. Same goes for Linux. They all have their pros and cons. There is no perfect OS. I personally prefer Linux because it's open source but I also like Windows because it's easy to use for an experienced user. I don't like Mac because I don't need an OS that wants to hold my hand.

When I said Virus Free, I didn't mean it literally. Of course you can get viruses on Mac. But Mac still is much more secure than other OS. Mostly due to how much restriction Apple put on their OS. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Like it or not that's what it is.

Windows isn't easy to use. The majority of users have absolutely no clues what they are doing when using a computer and Mac deal with that issue by locking the more complicated stuff away from the user, giving them the most friendly GUI possible and doing most of the work for them.

Mac also don't have to deal with 300 different processors, 200 video cards, etc. They are streamlined like consoles are. This is good for people who don't want to bother with tech details. But also bad because it provide no modularity.

This whole Mac versus Windows war is dumb. Both OS are bad in their own right. Because you can't get the better of both world. You either make something modular but complicated or something simple but restricted.

It's a joke, not a d1ck. So don't take it so hard.

But if you want to get all butthurt and serious about it, I'll play your game. "the problem is the developers not bothering to code games for Mac." So wait, I'm confused. If the problem is that the code is not written for a Mac properly, then how is having a mac not the source of the problem? Because having something other than a Mac would not be producing the problem. So yes, having a Mac IS OP's problem. Sorry if I offended your "safe zone".

DeloricVI1 votes

I assure you, as a man who believes in fair criticism, I have no "safe zone" and take any valid critique of my arguments on the chin, so to speak. Also, what makes you think I'm "taking it hard"? To me, I was just being factual.

Well, not all players are as tech savvy as the two of us, or is using someone else's (i.e. their parents') computer, they didn't buy their computer themselves... there's a whole host of issues that could lead someone to need to play this game on a Mac. Not everyone can just instantly say, "Oh, I need a PC because I want to game, here's anywhere between $700 - $1000 for a new computer." Maybe they already had a Mac before they made the decision to start gaming on their computer rather than their console, and just can't buy a new one.

I'm of the opinion, that if you should do something you should do it right, and not do it half-assed because the minority don't really matter. I would have rather they didn't release a Mac version at all if they couldn't get it to run properly. Doesn't that seem lazy, to you? Why bother at all? Why waste these people's time and money, if it's bad enough to make them want to stop putting up with the issues eventually?

I know, this thread was done on April first, and I did keep that in mind. I doubt that Malicious was actually leaving, or that he actually did, but it is an issue that I see joked about a lot. I just think that companies should be held accountable for this kind of thing, or people should at least address it more often.

Take a look at your relationship between you and a really close friend that you've known for a long time. Looking back, don't you find yourself being more mean to your to your friend, and more polite and friendly around strangers. That is because we can act like ourselves around our true friends, as they will not judge. You know that your friendship transcends all the "niceties" that society expects from you...

This is how I view Laughing Fish and Malicious Metal

R.I.P in shiny chrome for the time being MM, I hope that you do not give up on the boards as you and all the other lovely memers really brighten my day with your witicisms

I just felt like it was kinda...insensitive i guess? I mean I get the friends thing but still...this felt over kill. without saying something like we'll all miss you metal. also it's april fool's day i don't think metal is serious XD

Why are you so easily offended?

Malicious Metal3 votes

I'm done with the game for the moment but you won't be getting rid of my presence on the boards anytime soon :9

Besides, It would be rude if I continued playing and putting my team at a disadvantage due to me being nearly useless once teamfighting starts.

(Not like I'd have any spare time seeing that I have to write a paper on Greco-Persian wars for my history seminar...)

That moment when you play on a Mac and have a higher rank than all dem Mac haters [slayer-jinx-unamused]

3TWarrior4 votes

macs actually have been reported to be very stable, can upgrade to any operating system their hardware supports (many free of charge) and with their (as stated in someone else's post) limited number of processors and graphics chips (like a video game console instead of the rampant amount there are for windows) they maximize efficiency by issuing specified instructions for each cpu/gpu

I haven't tried one...but if they are more streamlined than linux, when league actually runs on Mac (as well as several other games but it's hard when most cater only to windows), their value increases quite a bit

for instance, if you look at windows, it takes an enormous amount of processing power just to devote to its background tasks for no reason (2/4 gigabytes for 4 gig ram, some people have reported 7 to 11 out of 16 gig ram setups...it's nuts)

there's also the fact that windows is starting to put marketing into the operating system itself instead of their commercials and displays...

Warframe is fun as a good break when you're just tired of every other game you have. It's super grindy, so it's got that kind of charm where you play it nonstop for a week and then forget about it for a few months. At least, that's how it is for me :P
