#A Corporate Teaser

Kled "So for some strange odd reason. My boss has decided to let you host a Lunar Revel Parade. Starting at my company. So it's my job to decide if you are going to be a threat. Well, are ya?"

Vi "Oh no, most certainly not. We simply wish to honor and celebrate our glorious leader."

Kled "And he is?"

Garen "Warring Kingdoms Azir. He was recently chosen as our leader. This is in celebration of that."

Kled "Oh yes, I remember him. Don't you think, what with all the controversy, that there might be more riots? As well as, mayhem, death, and destruction."

Vi "I don't remember any controversy or other riots."

Kled "You don't remember? Look anywhere on the internet. He is possibly the most controversial warring kingdoms leader ever. What with his better than you attitude, and his endless supply of jade moneys. In fact, word must have leaked about the parade. Look outside, protesters are already gathering."

Vi "Those don't look like protesters to me."

Kled "They don't lo- They are holdings signs that say: "Not my rooster." And "Remember the sand." Anyone with eyes could see that they are protesters.

Garen "Well we simply choose to believe in, alternate facts."

Kled "Alternate facts! Are you drinking mushroom juice too? Cause I'm pretty sure those don't exist to the sane kind."

Garen "So, are we going to get to host the parade here or not?"

Kled "Well, I'm starting to think that you are dumber than my lizard. And the parade sounds like it could start a whole mess a violence and put everyone I'm in charge of protecting at risk. But I've been getting bored lately, and legally killing rioters sounds like fun. So sure, go ahead."

(Check back here next week for the season 5 premiere of A Corporate Matter.)

Just gonna point out they did finally address the Support thing in the State of the Game post, albeit rather poorly and very very very very very very VERY slowly. They still have their heads buried deep in the sand on Autofill, though... and I ain't playing Draft Pick modes until it goes away because it destroys the point of having position selects. Overall, still very disappointed.

lol no they haven't. plus even if they did someone who spams the same thing everytime without even saying WHY its good isn't gonna help them do it. but dosent matter to me, aslong as you stop spamming ill have to stop arguing. thank you and good day

Can u link me to the part where they talked about supp, cause i didn't see it, i could go on for a min about supp but I wont here. In regards to the fill option for Draft, last time I was on, I got ADC once, JG once and support once, so I guess I was lucky

http://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/2017/01/dev-on-state-of-the-game-january-2017/ Under the third section header "LOOKING AT SUPPORT" Short version is "it kind of worked for the first week or two, then went pretty much back to normal."

Just letting you know, if you fill or support then it'll turn off autofill for your next game. They have announced a month or so ago that they will not do away with autofill until support is played enough to make the queue times reasonable for non supports, and the option of excluding a particular role has already been tested and failed so it will not be implemented. The best you could probably hope for as far as autofill changes go is maybe an increase to the amount of time a queue has to go over to trigger the autofill. Might as well just learn to live with the current system; and besides, having to play the occasional fill or support game to turn off autofill really is not that bad, but I am a support main so I am a bit biased.

I have heard multiple people claiming the "turn off autofill" thing sometimes doesn't work, e.g. they literally got autofilled 2 games in a row.

Being autofilled does not turn off autofill unfortunately, you have to queue as fill or support. Also if you queue as support or fill secondary but get your primary then autofill will remain enabled. I am a support main but use the feature to guarantee my duo partner's role, I queue for what he wants and he queues for support, because I'm a support main autofill is almost always turned off for me so he's guaranteed to get what he wants; then when I run out of games with autofill disabled we switch because now it'll be disabled for him. It's not perfect but it works.

I actually don't mind auto fill.

I know! you literally press r to kill anyone that isn't a tank. And sometimes even tanks.

AgeOfTheMage1 votes

well, it's more like w, if you're rmissing some health, then you're dead, like, early game, if you're half health in lane, you can't go near him or he presses r and kills you
