between him and morgan....it's gettin soft.
i see what you mean:nah
It's not about "soft"...the logic just isn't there. No one was exempt from being killed in the past, so why have a cliffhanger like this to build up the hype? It would have been a much stronger statement to keep inline with how the show really is. It's disingenuous and the creators all of a sudden want to have their cake and eat it too.

The problem with Morgan is he doesn't even believe in what he thinks he believes. Easton left his cage unlocked, but Morgan isn't stupid enough to leave that house unlocked. He knows that the Wolves guy can't be redeemed, so why bother with all of this exposition? To prove Rick is right for the 127th time?

Well, that's why it's called game THEORY I guess. It directly translating to "climbing", if that's even the goal of people posting in the first place, isn't really something that bears itself out. But fuck me up fam, I guess it's all just banter. :kappa

But hey, dynamic queue should fix ALL of our problems! :4head

That smiley still tilts me....
I don't have problems. Maybe you guys do


I don't expect to really reach the same level of elo again either way, so future seasons will be disappointments for me no matter what.

Well it will suck for me because I have no one to multi-queue up with, so I'll have to keep flying solo.

lol, classic NA salt

Based on what exactly? It's not like you played a shitload of games last season to reach Diamond.

I don't even know how it'll supposedly work honestly, so who knows lol

It's not even an NA thing, it's just triggering in general... MingLee is pretty dank though, but without context it doesn't really work as a smiley. Even if you know nothing about Twitch, the ones added here are just hilarious.

Takes too much time/effort. Playing 2-3 games after work doesn't really cut it. I'm already tired and just not in the mood to super tryhard. Playing in the weekends only makes me never really get that sharp and practiced play. When I climbed through plat I was super tryhard and had a great mentality for it since I had no rush (almost the entire season in front of me) and really enjoyed playing the game, and I played 5+ games every day. Can't really imagine getting into the same flow, mentality and practiced in all aspects of the game again really. The meta was pretty stable then too and I had a great grasp of it over a long period of time. You can draw comparisons to when I hit Diamond. I almost immediately stopped playing ranked because the air kind of went out of the balloon. I tried a bit right after reaching it, but the tryhard mentality was gone even if I tried to force it. And later I just never got practiced enough to be good enough to climb. At my peak some months ago, in my only real try after getting Diamond, I got to D3 promos, but then I fell down to D5 again, lol. Even if my elo peak was then, I was way better when I got Diamond than I was at the elo peak. So in an unpracticed condition I can hover around Diamond fairly easily, but I can't climb (or even get Diamond from Plat 1 probably).

tl;dr the conditions were in general much better for personal success for me.

Well, just saying, you only played like 200 games. But if you're out of practice or can't adapt to the meta well enough to play at previous levels, then fair enough.

I must admit that most of the time I only feel like playing multiple games in a row if I'm playing with people I know.

It's not to the point where I would ragequit or anything. I don't watch a lot of shows, but if I'm invested I usually stick with it unless it's just horrendously bad or never grabbed me in the first place

no, why?

Syndra and Bard, I think... I've been seriously thinking to add Dragon Tristana to my sweet, sweet skin collections as well but I am afraid someone is going to call me out for that :kappa

Well, when you buy shit you won't use, expect to be ridiculed :kappa

And no, I don't think I bought any of the Winter skins in a few years. I bought the medieval ones that came out before that though, as I thought they were cool and they were inexpensive.
