Ill maybe make a video on Voice Chat thoughts but I replied to earlier on stream as well and Nemesis talks about a lot of it here too. - Yes the game will change. People will realize scaling and slower play is +EV and more correct, the way it always has been but people always pushed back on it and flamed others for it. The game will become an arms race to keep pushing scaling/indirect advantages (draft) and other things. Wow amazing! Weird! Sadly League might just be too faced paced and full clearing is bad or something yadadada.... lol - Assassin's and balance will face a huge nightmare as their winrates plummet as they depend on gold and exp leads off of miscommunication. Without these things their current stat lines and other things will see them suffer. An interesting problem. - The game will reward intelligence more than mechanics (mechanics will still matter a lot, it will just sway a bit more towards thought) - Meta sheeps will obviously exist in a toxic way. Because the word meta has been warped and damaged to just mean popular, not actually the best. Naturally the meta is always countering or playing against what is in front of you with the best odds to create advantages, but most people still in s17 still cant grasp this and will claim early draft rotations "solved" which is entirely absurd and demonstrably false. - people reach MMRs through different methods, which means low, mid and below apex (including apex with non pros) will face an issue where everyone has different ideas on what should be done. We have seen this in streamer tournaments and its a complete utter mess. You have former pro players advocating to fight down entire core items or suggesting to fight simply to be proactive without defining what that even means. This will cause issues everywhere because people lack discernment in the first place, its why LoL esports at the pro level moves at a snails pace. Everything said above has been said by me before over the past decade, spread across a myriad of videos and clips from LS Logics to other shortform or twitter rants, only to have had endless pushback from the inepts who didnt get it then and still won't get it now. This kind of plank principle adjacent stuff is fascinating. -

Don't tell DICE about the thermal
