@Nikkonelol @NEACETWEETS @Wixxi How many times did she hit chal before she queued with that adc guy?
English
Why are people blaming @Wixxi and his duo idgi? You cant talk shit if riot allows duo. You cant talk shit if riot allows skill bypassing champions like yummi.
These are switches to flip. Until duo is permanently removed unbalanced synergies and overrated players will always exist. Pick a street.

@goldfisheater0 @WhickTv It’s almost a statistical certainty that you’ve been in spaces with red-only people, given more than half the current population would have had to already press red
English
I'm a blue button pusher.
Reasons in no necessary order:
1) Many people I love and care for will press blue. Me pressing blue has a chance of saving them, me pressing red does not
2) I would feel bad if I contributed, in however small a way, to the direct death of a non-zero number of people
3) I believe most people will, when it comes down to it, push blue. Pushing blue has the greatest chance of *everyone* surviving.

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?
English
@DanielleFong Pretty funny how most people who pedal this rhetoric are working on AI in the bay. Reminds me of SBF with his effective altruism BS. It has got to either be some in-circle virtue signaling/alignment signaling or some savior complex
English
get game theory mogged once again, game theory advocates. everybody lives, and now you're in copeaganda about how you're not mean and wrong

@DaystarEld @Piccini @SanjayNadaraja The hypothetical is completely nebulous as voting is black boxed and death just “happens”. More people are willing to save a suffering child, especially if they can exercise some agency. You’re not taking a risk in the hypothetical, ur taking a gamble.
English
@Piccini @SanjayNadaraja "Why would I kill myself" is revealing a lot about what you think Blue means and why you think it's crazy that others are choosing it.
It's a bit like saying "Why would I kill myself trying to save a drowning child?" Well, if that's what taking a risk feels like, sure, don't.
English
You should form fewer opinions about people from their responses to this. One way it works so well as a scissor to get people mad at each other is because some read "everyone" and realize it includes e.g. children, and others don't and feel like people are just virtue signaling.

@SilmeranoX @yourd0gisdead @krishnanrohit Because the likelihood ur self sacrifice amounts to anything meaningful is infinitesimally small?
You realize pressing blue requires complete alignment with altruism right?
English
@yourd0gisdead @krishnanrohit "If you're not perfectly altruistic why would you be willing to risk your life to save billions of people"
English
The funniest part about this poll is that people keep asking it, the majority keeps choosing blue, and a minority keeps getting upset that they're choosing wrong. At some point maybe you should revise your theory?

@krishnanrohit “Revise your theory on the willingness for people to self sacrifice based on a twitter poll with no stake of self sacrifice”
Nice joke
English
@isnit0 Blue is not moral, there’s different moral ideologies that support either.
Anyone who believes certain things like self dignity (rejecting a potential suicide button) would also believe that it’s an imperative a priori to second order considerations like consequences.
English
Guys blue is obviously more moral.
Sure, red is logical.
But blue is more moral.
Anyone who thinks in 2nd order effects should advocate for blue.
Just like the people who created our high trust societies would.
Red voters destroy our society.

@LevantineDream @erroneous_input @ThinkWiselyMatt tons of arguments, you could argue:
- self preservation is a moral imperative
- self dignity comes before consequences
- you should prioritize certainty in outcome
- defaulting to the greater good as a body count risk calculus strips you of individual liberty/agency
English
@erroneous_input @ThinkWiselyMatt Do you guys have any arguments other than “everyone is secretly as selfish and self-centered as me”? Like, you guys should be grateful that you’re the minority lmao. If everyone thought like you, we would have died off as a species while we were still living in caves.

The way he is defending his yuumi this hard is genuinely so beautiful and romantic. You are all just extremely jealous and hateful
Wixxi@Wixxi
Would like ppl to tell me how much of this lane was ADC gap rather than yuumi hitting 4 qs lvl 1. GM-Chall lobby btw
English
this discourse is so funny bc no matter how well she may have played it's still a fresh master peaker duoing with a challenger player which is quite literally the textbook definition of boosting
it doesn't matter how good she is at hitting yuumi Q level 1, part of the reason climbing is impressive is because you show you're good enough to be the difference maker in a lobby with 9 other players your rank
throw a guy in who's 1k lp above half the lobby and yeah, it makes a difference XD

@quantum_geoff @jasonvmiller @pipes_46 Something to note is that a utilitarian might hit red if they abandon pursuing optimal state without contradiction (despite the optimal state maximizing utility) with a calculus that takes certainty into consideration. Locally red matters while globally blue doesnt.
English
@quantum_geoff @jasonvmiller @pipes_46 I’d argue ud just need alignment with optimal state since the paths to it are asymmetrical. In the red = random hypothetical, the cooperative solution is to hit blue even though it’s utilitarian now.
English
For those claiming that voting red isn’t a symptom of selfishness, imagine a variant of this where your vote doesn’t determine your own life, but the life of a random person assigned to you...

@KingNidhogg Wdym not based on their answer? Theres a singular justification for red besides nonsensical ones like voting on a whim. People who grandstand why u are morally obligated to pick blue or how it’s a referendum on ur character are arguably worse in their pontification
English
This is actually a really good test to see if someone is a quality person. Not necessarily based on their answer, but the way in which they'll go about answering it. Instant filters on who you want to talk to and who you should probably ignore.

@tildemeow “I don’t think it’s possible to climb that fast so it’s boosting!” Rofl
Ranked jealousy is deadass the funniest shit ever
Mfs will call her boosted before maybe opening a vod and making this call themselves, shit maybe u could learn a thing or two
English
ok so where does riot draw the line at rank manipulation/hitchhiking/boosting?
going from 11lp master to 1.6k lp chall peak is an incredible feat but w the state yuumi is in, post rework + nerfs I doubt that it’s actually possible to improve/climb that fast in a single split without any of the above no matter how good ur yuumi is. (It’s legit in prison to not be pick/ban in pro play, she’s okay but not strong enough to get u that far )
also reverting the punishment and letting them get away with it just affects riots credibility no? not everyone has the luck to get their ticket answered and let alone call a rioter about an “undeserved” ban
+ not punishing them just muds the water even more, I’ve seen people get their accounts banned for hitchhiking way less than 1.6k lp
not sending any hate just very curious about how this situation is unfolding
@drewlevin @RiotPhroxzon
English
She is deserving of her rank whether you want to believe it or not. You’d know if you laned against her yuumi (only comet yuumi player doesn’t miss q). And if you disagree you’re prob masters and upset ppl can climb in different ways than you. She was +19 -21 mmr as well.
English
@TheMechanicalP1 @Wixxi MP + Duoking duo: dk is first time neg WR masters with +30 -10 fighting for his life
Wixxy + Misu duo: both hit challenger on shit gains
MP’s reaction: “Lol”
Can’t make this shit up
English
@LeagueOfLegends noticing how KR is never mentioned in these ladder posts and how their server never gets the short end of riots experimental shit stick
English
Hey folks. As a result of the volatility since January, we’re doing a Ranked reset for Apex players (Master+) in NA, EUW, EUNE, BR, LAN, and TR. Affected players will have their visible rank and MMR reset to Master 0LP when Patch 26.9 goes live.
