Now this is just Unprofessional

I know that this is probably super low-tier on the "things to fix" list but the comma right after the Supported Game Modes line looks incredibly unprofessional. My guess is that when Clarity and Clairvoyance were removed from Summoner's Rift back in Season 5, their listings were updated but the separating Comma didn't go with it. Please just fix it, it's activating all my OCD alarms at once.

Ah this bugger!. I investigated this one personally a few weeks ago, and the unfortunate resolution was that we weren't going to fix it. The code for that is in a pretty old system, and there's only a few peeps who worked in that system a few years ago. I verified with the team working on the new client that the issue no longer persists with the update, so we left it for now given the time it would take one of those engineers to stop their work, relearn the old system, find where the problem was, fix it and all that fun stuff just wasn't justifiable given what they're priorities are currently.

And will it include the announced ACTUAL replacement for TeamBuilder? I mean, don't get me wrong, the toxicity in my games went down to zero since I resorted to just occasionally play in custom botgames, but I'd like to return to actually play League of Legends in the foreseeable future again.

The actual replacement is NCS and is (in Theory) 10 times better than TB

While this would provide me with enough reason to rant excessively about Riot's policies, which, depending on my mood, may turn out either amusing or cathartic, I have to be fair and state that they did actually announce that "in the future" they will "introduce a version of blind pick inspired by the new design for players who are looking for the new champ select experience without bans or drafting." And to be frank, NCS without bans or drafting is pretty much Teambuilder all over again.

Granted, there's a lot of when and why to be answered here, but quite frankly, between their removal of Dominion and the resounding "meh" that was NCS (which, let's be honest, is nothing but slightly altered draft with a lot of animator-cum splattered over it) if they have any common sense/ don't want to go the way of Gamefailers, they WILL release this mode...

...I'm just hoping it will happen before Microsoft and Sony realize how they fucked up their consoles.

Ah ok. At least you guys know about it and have a solution. Man, is the old code really that archaic? Sounds like it's the equivalent of being sent back to the 1970s and being told "Make video game".

Sharjo2 votes

Essentially the old code was made with incredibly small goals and targets in mind, and was also shoddily put together. The reason "Spaghetti Code" is a thing is because of that; you never know just what will break next because of how awfully written the code for the game has consistently been. Thankfully systems have since been rewritten in places but it's not perfect.

Food for thought: LoL was developed to be an advancement on a popular game mod (DotA) that was released for an already old game (Warcraft). It was a super niche audience at the time. The fact that LoL even made it off the ground is surprising. Now it's the #1 video game in the world.

Pretty safe bet the old code was never designed to handle what the game is today. . . . Which is probably why Nidalee always finds a new way to create invisible spears. ;p

Not to mention most of the original developers didn't have much of a professional background.

It's not so difficult to write working code, but to produce good code you need to be familiar with certain rules and procedures.

There is a stray comma on Shenpai's page too... right after the tank it looks like you forgot to remove it when you got rid of the fighter attribute (Rito must have failed a lot of English comp classes with their lack of proof reading xD) http://s7.postimg.org/fngdoy75n/Shen_typo.jpg

Ariel the Cruel7 votes

Balance is one thing. Spaghetti code and underlying system structure is a completely different monster. Which is why they're not the same team.

Xela Syab1 votes

it's all code bro. you find where it is in the iteration process or in the GUI, go through lines of code and correct it. I'm stating that they seem to treat balance, user interface, and game features like commas and missing text lines if it seems like too much work or time they aren't going to fix it or they are just gonna remove them. when you're a code monkey this is expected of you. You're not understanding that this is people's jobs to fix or maintain this stuff and they aren't doing their job. This is why Riot is going slash and burn on alot of features and why we're getting less content instead of more.

Those are the secret hidden summoner spells from long days past. Legend has it these were too powerful for who they were created for and so... they were banished from the lands.

Only this record of these spells exist, thus driving them into the tales of myth.

You may also notice the forbidden blue potion on the desk of the sales people at the Rift, as well as in the Howling abyss and the Twisted Treeline. These potions, once revered by mages of the likes of Cassiopeia Malzahar Morgana and such knew the power they held. But, one day, an evil came to the rift. Only known by the lord 'Riot Games" and his master "Tencent", these two forces combined caused great strife for the people of these lands. Our once mighty Master of Metal was demoted to having to have a partner, thus losing apart of his identity. They allow the blind monk and his other counter parts to roam freely and unchecked while seeing to the others with a series of torture and as the people call them "Nerfs".

These are dark times, for the sixth season shall be dark and grim, darker than that of the coming of Xin Zhao Released and the long forgotten Satanic Teemo.

Fear not though, for one day, we shall see the summoners rise to power, lead by the Herald's of the Board Star Council, Malicious Metal working to restore our Metal Champion to his former glory, Laughing Fish for bringing humor to the darkness of these lands along with his followers such as Deep Terror Nami. We shall see our way to the other side and restore what was once given to us as rights and has been revoked!

emordnalip1 votes

Well, they might be counting the total range for all three thrown cards. 10,000 units / 3 cards ≈ 3,333 unit range per card. I don't know what the actual distance one unit is in-game, however, so I might be blowing a bunch of hot air. If it is the case, then it is a level of pedantism that does not contribute to clarity.

Rendarkan2 votes

-----> The Joke

----->My pet cat

-----> You

Edit: Also there's no way that one card travels 3333 units when his ult is 5500 units. Roughly each card travels ~1000 units. If his cards did travel 10k units each he could literally stand in base and spam throw them to somewhere between the enemy inner turret and the enemy nexus turret.

"There are" is the correct construction here (to match the plural "others"), unless an editing correction has been made.

Ya I goofed. Originally it was "there's" which is "there is".

If you look closer, you can see Alistar in the pictures. There's literally only one explanation. Alistar can Headbutt, right? That can cause severe head trauma, right?

Looks like Alistar typed those words. He has severe brain trauma, cause he's headbutted one too many things. This explains everything.
