I'd argue that the difference between a .5 and 1 KDA is the same as the difference between a 1 and 2 KDA, a 5 and 10 KDA, etc. Total KDA treats it as such -- average KDA doesn't.

I guess I can see that...do you think it still holds true for DF, though?

I don't think it matters as much for DF -- Average DF is just Total DF / number of games.

Who wants to do another season of fantasy LCS?

Sign up here:

All times are in EDT (GMT -4).  We'll use that to pick a time for the draft, then I'll create the league right before we start drafting.

I could be available if I'm needed, but I haven't played, like, since I discovered Dominion, my ping might be pretty high and my favorite build used to be ADC Fiddle so you probably don't want me there.  :P

I think you are misunderstanding -- we are looking for someone to participate in Fantasy LCS, where we all pick pro players that we think will do well this upcoming split -- fantasy sports for a fake sport, if you will :)

Oh. Well, it still mostly applies — I could pick someone at random if it helps!

Apologies -- I fell asleep really early last night :(  Unless you guys have daytime availability today, we will have to cancel this it seems!  Or if you guys are OK with drafting after week 1.

I'll be honest, when I was watching the end of the final game, my first thought was that the Doublelift trophy case subreddit was finally going to get a post.

I have been playing League of Legends a lot more since I moved into a new apartment. Kinda playing half League half Hearthstone, 1/5th smash.  That means I spend 20% of my time playing Hearthstone while asleep ok.

I'm really bad at League and tired of wanting to be good at it because it is so full of the little technical things.  Like when a creep is about to die, and i attack it, and it is at 1 health, then it dies, and I don't get any gold.  And the other guy does the same thing and gets the 20 gold.  We have both practiced it a lot, I wll just never be good at it.  So I'm just kinda accepting being a mediocre player and enjoying ranked and trying my best.  I play Annie a lot because she's fun, and Thresh because I'm decent at him, and then other than that I kinda play whatever.

My roommate plays League, sometimes we duo queue ranked.  Sometimes he's annoying because he complains about teammates a lot though. 


I really hate the new trinket things (I know they are not new but they are new to me because I took a break).  They're too free and thoughtless.  It's like WoW, my ability is off cooldown, the ability doesn't cost mana, I should use the ability (well WoW abilities cost mana, but it's such a small amount of mana that no-one hardly ever cares).  Sometimes I am just walking around jungle, just throw a trinket in the bush because it's free and the cooldown is burning a hole in my pocket.  Later I look at it and the other team is trying to steal our lizard near the trinket.  Oh look, you accidentally ran by the thing I arbitrarily put there.  Unlucky you.  You should have guessed where I was in the jungle when my trinket happened to go off cooldown, also accounting for a random delay where I might forget to do that.  Oh wait, you can't do that, so I guess you shouldn't try to steal Lizard or do anything interesting, ever.

I think it would be cool if they did another paradigm shift and went to expensive, destructible, visible wards only.  So that you make investments to control space on the map and stuff.  Or maybe just go back to the old system where every ward costs money so every ward was put there for a reason.  I get so much more gratification out of killing an Amumu because I saw his mana hungry gameplay last teamfight, remember the last time he took blue, and put my 90 gold ward under his blue, than I do randomly killing Lee Sins that are stealing a Lizard where I happened to drop a ward on my way from a teamfight mid down to clearing bot creeps.

Totally random rant, sorry.

Anyone wanna play with me and tell me how bad i am

I have started playing within the last week or so. Thank you theory for the addiction haha. I am a massive noob, but it's really fun, and I'd be happy to play anytime! I won't complain about you if you don't complain about me hahaha.

Name is WalrusMcFishSr. I'm still experimenting with champions, but the ones I own so far are Garen, Heim, Blitz, and Sivir.

Walrus!!! So glad you have become addicted, we need to play more when I am in a less "silly" mood you have some of the best positioning I've seen on a new player.

I feel like I haven't actually played with you?  We should rectify that if that is true.

Also your warding rant is kind of cute.  But you know, it's not the fact that the ward is there that costs him his life.  It's that he doesn't notice you leaving from lane.  As a hyper aggressive jungler, at the first sign that the enemy knows where I am I know I need to reevaluate my position.
