[QUOTE=Warfang;43410437]Coffee and tea are really overrated. [/QUOTE]
There's half a million varieties of both coffee and tea. To say that they're both overrated in general just doesn't make sense because they're both wildly diverse.

So I guess I'll narrow it down to say....
anything from McCafe, Starbucks, or AriZona.
[QUOTE=Toyhobo;43410830]yet there are posts of riot staff on lol accidentally randoming in ranked by not picking and even bragging about it, yet they receive no punishment but praise instead by their fellow staff members.
I cant for the love of god find that image again right now but i know it's out there somewhere.[/QUOTE]
yeah there's a few rotten apples, but that doesn't mean the entire system is flawed. really, you argument is "i can't have fun the way i want to", but i've been playing for about 3 years and me and my friends have yet to be banned, even though we always go (not as a 5 man premade, usually just me and 1-2 other guys so yes there's always people saying they'll report us) 3 jungle, 2 top, etc, so just quit hating on it "just because", at least find something else to hate about the game, geez.

yeah all of those are pretty bad
I really gotta wonder why everyone at my school loves AriZona so much
I didn't like Fez, and on the issue of Phil Fish. Even if he did have hardships wasting his life making this game, it doesn't give him the right to-...well..

I played lol for over 5 years and called quit and started playing dota but the argument isn't "i can't have fun the way i want to" rather than "the meta is bullshit and people need to relax over a fucking game". Look at dota, no one basically gives a shit what you play as long as you don't suck horribly, also every single lineup you can build have it's own purpose and life time. whereas in lol every single game is basically the same setup and same items.

dota is a more dynamic game, yes, and that allows for a much wider range of possible comps, but to say people don't give a shit is BS. i have to ignore at least one person every couple of matches, people will throw a tantrum over anything, just like they do in LoL. i do agree people should "relax over a fucking game", but hey what can i do? as long as they're not affecting me personally i'm not gonna make a big deal about it.
oh and btw don't claim you've played it for over 5 years when the game hasn't even been out for that long

Ok, it's running up on 5 years this year if i would have been playing it so 9-12th grade anyway so 4 then but still. point still stands. If lol would drop it's over sensitive meta and players explore and play differently in ranked as well and not only if you win.
[QUOTE=Toyhobo;43411480]If lol would drop it's over sensitive meta and players explore and play differently in ranked as well and not only if you win.[/QUOTE]
if they'd drop its over sensitive meta.... they'd what?
anyway, what's your gripe with ranked? what is the point of playing the more competitive mode of the game if you're not gonna try to make your team as efficient as it can possibly be? the whole point of ranked is to play only so you can win, so no, your point does not stand as it does not make any sense, considering normal games play out exactly like ranked games so it's not like it's a completely different mode, so if you wanna play differently, you can still totally do it- just not in ranked.

Were supposed to say over sensitivity over meta, my bad for not triple checking.
Anyways, there are still multiple ways to counter and win over the meta but people still rabidly defend this meta breaking because it's simply not the meta. a friend of mine and me went ww and nunu double jungling, got nashor as soon as he spawned and wrecked shit, yet our entire team said they would report us for not playing like they wanted.
yes, i get what you mean there, and i whole heartedly agree. call me optimistic, but i believe lol just needs to evolve as a game and maybe we'll end up having some more diversity in it. sadly, riot aren't really the best game designers out there, but imo they're learning, so i'm looking forward to the future of lol
LoL does gimmicks much better than Dota does, so I think they should focus on them. Sadly, Riot thinks LoL is a naturally big competetive game and is trying to make same heroes over and over again (Hero has a dash + heal/shield + steroids + skillshots) because those are the only ones played in competetive games.
teemo blitzcrank soraka janna heimerdinger gimmick squad of fun
i enjoyed lol when it was silly and riduculous while still a bit compeitive. the whole serious thing was never very enjoyable for me in league or dota.
Oh, the times when Heimerdinger still could plant 6 turrets, or you could pick Eve and build 5 sunfire capes
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;43411039]uhh
have you been huffing the embalming fluid?
Mouse is much more precise than a stick, and pretty much all genres are better on PC, because you can use controllers on PC if you really want to, you also get smoother gameplay as many console games play at or below 30 FPS. PC generally is better at immersion too, as you're right up to the monitor. You can also plug your PC into a TV if you wanna do splitscreen play, but the game has to support it.[/QUOTE]
Not to mention PC's have more longevity instead of just becoming a brick of electronic in your closet after a few years.
Manwha and manga are great. They're only viewed in a negative light by westerners because western comic books are mostly superhero comics aimed for children. Or realy shitty shorts.
People should be taught polotics during secondary education before they can vote. But that probably wouldn't happen because it'd make more lefties.
Seriously in my country the conservative party's election campaign is pretty much boiled down to 'Other party did this wrong. Vote us!' As if to say they wouldn't have done worse. If you ask anyone why they'd vote conservative you'd get the response 'labour are ruining this country' and no elaboration whatsoever.
(labour is centre. Conservative is centre-right)
Dr. Pepper is a terrible drink.

ehh, I'd strip the old PC of a few parts like the DVD drive and then stick it in the closet after some years.

Is that unpopular?
Phil Fish shouldn't quit video game development over someone being an asshole to him. (Quite frankly, he shouldn't act like an asshole to that person either)
How is hating Phil Fish an unpopular opinion? :P
He acted like an asshole.
[QUOTE=The golden;43417182]I would rather someone as toxic as him stay the hell out of the industry.[/QUOTE]
who cares about a developers personality if they make an enjoyable game? I liked playing fez and i really don't care about Phil Fish at all. If he would come back and finish up fez 2 then i'd play it and then continue not giving a crap about him

[QUOTE=The golden;43417314]You may be different but I like knowing that my money isn't going to a complete and total asshole. Yes I know there are other people involved in his company but I just cannot support such behavior in good conscience.[/QUOTE]
His behavior isn't terribly out of the norm for someone who got consistently harassed by a community over the most trivial things.

I do agree with what you're saying, but there's probably worse people than Phil fish that have profited from you(And me for that matter)
[QUOTE=The golden;43417918]Have you read some of the shit he's said? Including the death threats?
That is nowhere near "norm" for anyone in that position regardless of what has been said to him. He reacted in the most unprofessional way he possibly could. Fish's absurd reaction only helped pour more fuel onto his already enraged fire.[/QUOTE]
True. But most people had already bought the game before he turned into a huge cunt, so no one really knew they were giving money to an asshole

He overreacted way too much. If your game got good reception, assholes shouldn't deter you from game development
I don't understand why people liked Yoshi from the Super Mario series so much.
I felt sorry for Phil Fish
