How do tier one esports teams analyse competitive, scrim, and SoloQ data to make informed decisions about the game? Now I've left FlyQuest, I've put together a long form article showing screenshots of the application we built, and some of my thoughts alongside it. Link below.

@Dom_Sacco @RLewisReports Did make me laugh when @TheUKETC was established to prevent this kind of behaviour. Then one of the founding members was accused of not paying players 6 months later and disappeared into the ether. Kind of sums up the entire UK scene to be honest.

Almost 10 years ago @RLewisReports said UK esports needs to be 'nuked from space' The younger, naive me thought it had a chance. I was hopeful. Today, I am finally where Richard was 10 years ago. Nuke the whole bloody thing and start again.

@JackJGaming @RiotGamesDevRel Good to know some things never change

Who committed to the Riot API infrastructure on Friday then? @RiotGamesDevRel Match-V5 has been broken all weekend, plsfix GitHub issue: github.com/RiotGames/deve…

@Croaa21 @Dragdar_ must be a bug

@samhine @Dragdar_ bot gap

@tragedyezreal @Dragdar_ The name of the website is for a reason!

@samhine @Dragdar_ top laners being the reason i lose i guess

@Dragdar_ Also - champ unlocks used to take AGES and nobody really had an issue. Think I was playing for 3 or so years before I caught up and could consistently afford new champs - then they introduced shards and it was incredibly easy (too easy).

@Dragdar_ Honestly I don't think the people complaining played the game before it was any different. Hextech chests to me seemed crazy - I definitely avoided spending money since I would eventually end up with a skin on any given champ. As a result I haven't bought RP since...

Controversial take, I understand rewarding loyalty of work, but can't comprehend loyalty of leisure. I played this game for 15 years because I enjoyed it, not because I expected something in return. I *get* to play the game for free. Until that changes, I can't complain.

@JackJGaming very interested to see FB wr% vs. previous patch

Early days still but... I just randomly spectated 10 high elo games 9 of 10 times Ruinous Atakhan spawned (instead of Voracious) 10 of 10 games were won by the team who killed Atakhan NOT saying Buff is OP, as: a) low sample size b) if games are snowballing faster, team ahead at 20 mins more likely to both get Atakhan and win, as less comeback potential Now I have examples I should be able to get this into the iTero dataset and confirm with real statistics tomorrow

@ZeroAnalytics @_Beora but merch

The analyst off-season is where the real action is at

@JackJGaming @Noodlez_Lol @lol_arailla @_Beora @rodrigo_rlt put me in coach

Is @Noodlez_Lol staying at Rogue? Has @lol_arailla left the scene for good? Is @samhine or @_Beora making a comeback? How many more stars can @rodrigo_rlt get?

@Swaguhsaurus @SINJuves @zeejayym I'm down to clown

@JackJGaming @GX_League fiiine you've convinced me to turn on the mastery toggle

This long-form video by @GX_League on why win rates aren't anywhere near as important as the community thinks is a banger it's also exactly why i built iTero youtube.com/watch?v=rSZTi9…

did not expect this 🤔

@cthorrez Ah, good catch - updated!

@samhine Cool site! One minor pet peeve is that Elo isn't an acronym, it's a guy's name

hey all, i've made a website based on an article I wrote last year regarding team performance in soloq. topgap.gg

this was mostly just to flex my frontend muscles (and get used to next.js, since I've only used base react so far). this is actually my first time making a user facing application based on the riot API likely to be some teething issues still, but happy with how it turned out

Remember guys if someone ever asks you whether you can assign a single numbered score to a team/player based on in-game stats.. Your answer should be no.

this is my smurf account btw, excellent toplane performances as always

got frustrated with my soloq teammates again and also wanted to try out nextjs public release soon™
