@BellaPanaaaaa If this was on the way home then they pranked themselves

@Technically_PvP Aren’t you kind of doing that with this post

Loving all the posts about people earning their #Midnight season 1 gladiator achievements! <3 Please don't diminish the time, effort and skill it takes to achieve this with statements about the MMR inflation or how "easy" it is compared to other seasons.

@oElementz Meanwhile every tweet is calling it dogshit

Kinda shocked how everyone's surprised old league is fun. Y'all know this is the game that started an entire studio and franchise right? It had to be good to launch the rest of what Riot accomplished.

@drewlevin More delusional than my teammates I get thinking that’s how you’re perceived

I get that a lot of people follow me for "teehee funny internet guy dunks on bad guys", but I want to make something extremely clear about what has to come after that. This is something I talk about with people a lot. The main reason I am here on Twitter talking with all of y'all is to make the game better. Part of that is listening and learning and connecting the community to the dev team in the ways that I'm able to, and I'll continue to do that as much as my time allows. But a big part of my day job is specifically focused on player behavior and toxicity, so I want to talk about that specifically right now. League is too good of a game to let a small number of jerks ruin it for everyone else. Our best guess is that less than 1% of people who play League are just going to be jerks no matter what, and our view is that we should get better at getting those people out of the game (and we've been doing that for the last year, and that work will continue). It is also obviously true that more than 1% of people currently playing League behave in ways that aren't great. Our view is that those people are NOT going to be jerks no matter what. They will be responsive to incentives and social norms and pressure. I've talked with quite a few people who have said things like "I question why it's worth it to follow the rules when I see people break the rules without consequence." And when I see and talk to people who occasionally act out in ways that are antisocial, what they tell me is that they aren't always like this, and that they don't recognize themselves in the way that they're acting at their worst. Those people are 100% capable of change - both for better and for worse. Part of why I'm out here doing a bunch of stuff in public is because we want y'all to see that we're actively working on improving these behaviors, and also: we're more effective if we do that together. This is meant to do three things: 1. We want to give energy to people who get tired of watching jerks do jerk things, and who get tired of reporting them and who get tired of doing the work of emotionally regulating themselves instead of ruining games or typing whatever comes into their mind. We want them to know that the good world they want to live in is the one we - the entire dev team, all of Riot - want to create. 2. We want to send a clear signal to jerks that their choices are not consequence-free and that we are working to make that more and more true every day. 3. We want to make it clear for people who are in the middle - not perfect, but they do their best - that being better is worth it. That being part of a community that treats each other with respect and fairness is work, yeah, but it's work worth doing, because the reward is that your community has shared values like respect and fairness, and you then get to expect to be treated with respect and fairness by those around you. Part of doing that work is shifting social norms around the acceptability of doing antisocial things. We've seen people do that more and more, which is great. We love that. Ultimately, communities must enforce the norms that they want to be held to. The next part is harder, and this is where writing this all is coming from. Part of what MUST happen in that process is that communities have to be able and willing to encourage and support the people who do reform. If people don't reform and keep doing shitty things, sure, dunk on them, call them out, whatever. But if someone is going to say "hey, yes, this was shitty, I'm going to do different things now", and then they actually change how they treat others? Encourage them! Social pressure works both ways. We all, collectively, get to decide what community we want to live in every day, and our actions contribute to that. They shape who we are, and they shape the realities of the people around us, and they affect how the people around us think about what they can expect and whether doing the hard, right thing is worth it. We want more and more people to see that there is lasting value in doing the hard, right things that make the League community a better place.

@em_zad82073 @JustinTweetz123 @temp6t Nope it’s the complete opposite especially in a standard Pokémon game the battles are just too easy

@JustinTweetz123 @temp6t (Most of them are better to use than attacking is a lot of the time, at least on the first turn)

how 10 year old me saw any non attacking move in pokemon

@KireiLoL You do the most degen game spamming series let’s not cope here

We’re both uncles, but I ain’t playing 2443 games 💀 My old grandpa back hurts if I play that much

@DonnieK10196387 @brutalfish13 @alfonsohoops Life must be very fun for you then!

@brutalfish13 @alfonsohoops Life must be fun when you’re fucking retarded

Jokic responding to a hard but normal take foul with a move that basically ended a dude’s career is so wild

@Alyxe99 @forestwithout No the game was actually just that fun back then it’s not like you only played it if you were too broke for anything else

@forestwithout Main reason is it was free in a time where others were not

While it is dogshit.. Zoomer pov of older games unfortunately plus Dota required u having wc3 + frozen throne discs while league was FREE and there was little to no good moba competition then it was own wc3 + understand customs or play HoN lmao

@tacopilled Recommending a mid range card from 7 years ago is soulless now got it

Minecraft now recommends a 2060 and I'm supposed to believe software developers have souls

@Cameradooo @purelivn Yes I’m sure it will be as easy and you make it sound and I’m sure these powerful people will get right on it!

@purelivn You’re not the only one who thinks of this and some very very powerful people are actually going to figure out a way to do it with a few small (though meaningless) caveats.

sometimes i wish work and jobs never existed and people were free to simply enjoy life on this planet

@aromadilea @normalmya Idk what you’re even saying? Streamers YouTube videos= their stream cut up

@SuhmRyan @normalmya Except it is not. There is a conversion rate from YouTube videos to your stream, but that requires you to always be streaming.

Watched a video for a streamer who randomly showed his chat his and his Youtube editor's revenues. His YouTube editor makes more than him because he gets 100% of the video profits. He kept defending him and said "why would I pay myself off of someone else's labor, that's stupid!"

@satwik8am @justwantdinero @UpdateStable He’s talking about Ludwig but he’s wrong anyway

@justwantdinero @UpdateStable can u like not see the subs or concurrent viewers?? ron is a top 3 twitch streamer rn the average streamer u person is nothing compared to that

Ron reacts & responds to Ludwig saying CORE will fail "I would say to any CORE fans give us time, We don't have any employees, We've been a thing for 90 days, We already hit 1 Million subs on the channel with just Adapt creating Ideas and finding Editors"

@wackaflcka1 How can you be that retarded to think anyone is leveling accounts themselves

I am actually curious what he fucking expected XD how can u be that retarded have u not been on twitter for the past year? Like?

@aromadilea @normalmya You understand the YouTube is the stream?

@normalmya This is not a good collaboration in the long run because there is not enough incentive for the streamer to make sure the YouTube content is good. The streamer will prioritize other avenues of income when possible, if they aren’t a multi millionaire already

@Alune55 How exactly can everyone benefit? Someone has to lose

U can’t listen to support players opinion on mage bot they all benefit from it it’s like asking a landlords opinion on rent

@Eddielinks_ This baiting is so fucking shameless

Angel Reese would beat any man that isnt currently playing D1 / pro

@Renegade1k I’m sure you’re an expert on the Russia Ukraine conflict

Some people exist on this earth and are just unaware of anything outside of their own lives. They live like this for years and it’s just so crazy.

@lvladen I don’t think anyone has ever said pvp gear is too confusing? They either say it’s too hard to learn or gearing is annoying needing crafted gear with seperate pvp embellishes

Everyone out here saying WoW PvP is so hard to get into. I havent looked at PvE since BFA. What the heck is going on LOL you have different tiers of gear that all require upgrades and all drop from different places. How is that less confusing or difficult to obtain than PvP gear?

@emerrin_lol Calling these a zero counterplay counter comparable to malphite is pretty insane

@SuhmRyan gp anivia jayce

a lot of questionable takes, vayne has way more 0 counterplay counters than just malphite, gp in d is ????? how are we not rating rumble S blind when the champ barely even got hit by his nerf, ambessa easily S blind with renek ban, singed not S/Z, camille is bad but not this bad

@Wingsofdeathx Supports are already filled in half the games can’t imagine how bad it will be in classic

People will play classic in about a week and realize how much more fun the average game is when jungle and support dont run the entire lobby from spawn. The game will still have problems but laner roles wont feel like indentured servants.
