League of Legends |OT13| Diamond is Unreachable

The music is so good
Triple Triad is goat
The character designs are 2nd to none for all ffs

Not to mention the coolest cinematics and boss fights.

Best story too. Squall isnt a whiny punk like Cloud, he takes the role of a leader and does it despite his self doubts.
 
to me it's victimizing cos it spends most of the time on her being vulnerable and disempowered (being literally naked and on the verge of tears). she then gets to proudly walk and ride a horse but not after it's been made clear she's actually really fragile and sad

which is kinda lame cos the idea in her old lore is that all that shit was behind her, and while that made for a more "flat" character, the new lore seems to be only exploring that side which is most definitely not the side of lux that anyone that likes the character cares about. her hiding the emotional baggage of being feared and mistrusted by the country you sworn to protect while putting on a cheerful and positive facade is interesting, but only if you get to see the side she's showing to people, but the new lore (including this video) never cares about that and just puts lux in situation after situation in which she's struggling or sad or weak (even if in the end she still manages to be really powerful)

much like the ahri lore, i feel like they're characters that riot is for some reason not allowing to just be powerful without paying some sort of emotional toll, which is boring when they're choking out the part of the character people actually like

lux is the character in the lux mix, not the character in some old lore entry where it said she had trouble controlling her magic (same lore that said she was a weirdo magic spy that liked to do magic tricks lol), and riot shoehorning her into that just cos it fits their new demacia is a disservice to the lux that's already exists

and in the end this video didn't say anything new about lux, this side of lux has been explored to death in the new lore and is not original or interesting as a fan of the character i've played for years. i don't care about these newfound internal struggles or her stupid horse, i just want the lux in the lore to match the lux in the game.

also no idea who this person is, but i don't particularly care about the animation or art. not saying it's bad or anything but it's not something that i found impressing?

edit: also the song choice was bad. i don't like real world songs in these videos, it just pulls me out of the fantasy of the league universe

edit2: videos in my opinion darius > zed >>> lux > mf

edit3: kind of ironic i wrote this considering my avatar lol
Well, I don't see it as her being on the verge of tears or anything like that. To me it looks like she's utterly intrigued and fascinated by her magical powers. She's having a personal moment as she gets dressed which would be one of the prime times for her to do anything like this as she's confidant she's alone. But then she remembers what she has to do, how she has to hide this and has her "welp, time to get the day started" moment, puts herself together and goes out into the open to lead her people.

I don't think any of the shorts were made to go "beyond" what the character's story is. They're studies in the character's psyche that can't be shown very clearly in the game more than anything. The closest to telling a story beyond anything would be MF I'd assume. Zed's was just "I fight real good ..." and Darius was just a look into his philosophy on fear and the nature of things and MF's was mainly looking into her personality in a world were she's not a sexy Halloween joke.

As for Glean, you may not know the name but you know his work. He invented the Disney Princess art style. But that's neither here nor there so w/e

I personally loved it. Just edges out MF's IMO.
But I clearly saw it completely differently than you lol

i guess it's different if you read the stories, in which she's all sad and crying and whatever

like i said, i think it's fine for her to have like an emotional struggle but not at the expense of the payoff of that struggle which is the bright, cheerful personality that's the signature, recognizable trait of her character

in the 3 stories involving lux and this video she hasn't smiled or said anything positive once

the fuck is this character, this is not lux

i think i personally hated the mf one cos i hate the whole "this woman is strong cos she fought off her rapist" style thing. it's the same thing with the new tomb raider game, i think it's meant to say "look how strong she is" but all it does is put a weird sex price to her strength that male characters wouldn't have to pay. it's also lame cos it has like 3 seconds screen time and it's never gonna be explored so it's just pretty fucking pointless

the short stories paint such a better and more compelling picture of mf, of her planning and enacting her revenge in spectacular fashion, of her commanding a crew of mercenaries (or some such) with authority and their respect and loyalty to her, she's such a fucking badass in those stories but of course here she has to get groped to just barely get a shot off and break free

it's trying to tell a point in mf's story where she hadn't reached full badass status and the sacrifices she made along the way to get there but i would enjoy it better if it didn't always have to come with an unnecessary sexual element

if anything it's just creepy

But isnt he beta as fuck? I dont remember cloud being whiny.

they're all whiny

I just went 2/3/12 as Caitlyn and somehow got an S-. I mean, thanks for the chest, but what?

161 CS at 26 minutes, if you're wondering. So that shouldn't have gotten me it either.

So today I learned that Rabadon is worthless on Zyra :V
Are there any other champs who you feel Rabadon isn't worth getting on?

If the girl was indeed underage

Yeah, I aint joking. Dont care much for kid diddlers.

either way it's a dickish thing for you to say

if the underage thing is false, then you're continuing to spread rumors that can ruin someone's career and/or life

if it's true, then you're making a joke of something that's no joking matter

don't be a dick, your shitty twitch memes are not funny and they're definitely not a legitimate way of judging krepo for what he did or didn't do
 

zkylon

zkylewd
no evidence of it whatsoever

honestly breezy it's (kind of) funny when you're purposely wrong about league, but when it's serious shit you should just shut up
 
Im on the side that if youre in a spotlight and you send out dick pics to some randos (who may or may not be underage), you shouldnt be surprised if that shit gets leaked.

If he had gotten hacked, sure thats a completely different thing.
 

zkylon

zkylewd
no one is talking about that, it's you spreading serious and unfounded rumors

just be a decent human being and shut up

Not even the dick picks are confirmed

You're crucifying the guy over reddit speculation

Didn't Krepo admit the dick pics though?

yeah, he confirmed taking them when he stepped down from msi

doesn't really matter tho, it's his private life and none of our business. he can take all the dick picks he wants, no law against that

the gross gore shit was never confirmed and as far as we know has nothing to do with this situation

don't spread unconfirmed rumors that could seriously damage people's lives

edit: also for the record, here's actual gross gore being sympathetic to krepo over this: https://twitter.com/GrossieGore/status/866028296286425090

so yeah, fuck off with condemning krepo for what some other fucked up person did

Yup the dick pics are 100% real. Whether he sent it to an underage girl is the alleged rumor.

Like I said, if it was an underage girl, yuck. If its not, well dont send dick pics to rando girls.
there's a lot of things wrong with the way you're thinking this, so imma list em:
- there's no rumor he sent it to an underage girl. people are purposely being shitty by mixing this with the gross gore allegations from like a year ago, allegations that i feel gross gore is denying by acting sympathetic to krepo here
- you're saying he was just sending dick picks to random girls, when we don't know who leaked em. maybe he got hacked, maybe they were sent to his partner, none of that we know of
- you're implying this is krepo's fault by saying "don't send dick picks" when the person that's being real shitty here is the one who leaked them (as well as people like you taking advantage of it for nothing but entertainment)

grow up

Well, we do know it was to a random girl.

He asks her what her age is in the chats. So it's not his partner, and it wasn't a hack.
 
If krepo was hacked

He would say as much. He didnt though.

As for "dont send dick picks to rando girls", thats just general life advice. If it was krepos dear beloved then sure thats a fucked up situation.

As for conflating what gross said a year ago with what happened today, where theres smoke..

But who knows. It is fun to speculate, though

Well, we do know it was to a random girl.

As it stands

Dont send dick picks to rando girls. Good life advice.

that much i didn't know cos i didn't go looking for the pictures

either way, making this about krepo when the other person that posted them is the real shitty one is a fucked up way of looking at the whole situation
 
YamatoCannon nudes next pls.

Poor Krepo. Agreed that dick pics in 2017 aren't the end of the world, but the cum shot and "have you ever been fucked in the ass" thing must be very embarrassing for him.

He's a cool guy so hopefully it all blows over quickly.
 
you're 100% most definitely not making it worse by being specific

what's wrong with you people

I'm really not making it worse. The damage is done.

He's a public figure among a younger audience who all know what snapchat is. The community won't hate him for this. Many of us have done what Krepo's done before.

Mhm. If Rito disapproves sure, he might be done. But I doubt theyd care hes snapchatting nudes to random girls. Unless its like, on League. And an abuse of his popularity.

But he'll be fine. He just needs to pick his targets better next time.

So there's some talk on Chinese Weibo that we're getting another international tournament, focused on letting "rival" regions face each other.

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueofle...nternational_tournament_coming_in_july_top_4/

Some guy from reddit:
So here is the information I gathered from China's Weibo.
Riot is holding a new event called Rift Rivals in July.
There will be 5 regional clashes.
CN-KR-LMS
EU-NA
BR-LAN-LAS
CIS-TUR
JPN-OCE-SEA
The LCK-LPL-LMS event will be held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Top 4 teams from each region will participate.
Details will be available May 26.

I hope it's true.

TSM has a new chance to disappoint their fans!

I really love the idea of this. Having another opportunity for major regions to face each other is already really cool, but the framing of it being around rivals is awesome. And increased pressure to perform internationally seems like it'd really help teams improve.

Adds a little more prestige to getting inside those first four places of a regional split too. Generally just super exciting.
 
I've been waiting on Riot to announce more international competitions and this is a good start. Teams from all regions playing together always ends up improving the level of play.

Sees Faker 0/3 and G2 winning.

"Eh whatever I bet when I take another look in 10 minutes SKT is about to win"

And indeed, so predictable.

League of Late/Comp such trash. Doesn't help that Jayce or Ivern are worthless champions to feed.
