I used to write things. Now I rant about League of Legends on the LCS broadcast. Unexcited KT Rolster fan and ten of the most boring people you know. Defunct(?) anime blog: she/her
Update on mage/ADC matchups in Tier 1 League of Legends competitive play (plus KeSPA Cup). Mages have a 38% winrate to traditional ADCs' 62%. Of the mages chosen, I separated out Ziggs (because bot laners were expected to play him already) who has 42% of the mage wins in mage/ADC matchups.
LPL: (interestingly enough, the most games played and the lowest amount of mages bot of any region)
TRADITIONAL ADCS vs MAGES BOT IN SPLIT 3 MEGATHREAD: Tracking non-traditional picks in bot lane across all Tier 1 regional play in Split 3 starting with KeSPA Cup. The tank/bruiser picks in question were Sion and Mundo.
Celebrating my hand healing up enough to do things by starting a new oil painting project. ^ ^
At first, I was wondering why the LPL players going through the crowd tunnels were only focusing on one side and then the other, and then I realized that part of the tunnel is actually too wide to get both sides at the same time.
Pantalone/Regrator looks a bit like Clow Reed imo. This isn't a harbinger (heh) of anything regarding his character, it's just kind of fun. ^ ^;
A Minor Chorus by Billy-Ray Belcourt goes so unbelievably hard that I lack the ability to describe how amazing it is. It affected me more than any book has in a really long time and I already look forward to rereading it.
This LFR video title was more prophetic than @stevedangle20.bsky.social could have ever realized...
Planning on reading four of the five Canada Reads books from this year but these two (A Minor Chorus by Billy-Ray Belcourt and The Cure for Drowning by Loghan Paylor) are by far and a away the two I'm looking forward to the most. ^ ^
TBR (Maybe I'll actually update with thoughts/opinions on each book this time!)
Every skater does a little move in a 2-3 second intro video featured during their entrance. Most just point or give a sports-approved 45-degree crossed arms pose, but not Boyang Jin. ^ ^
In the interest of just throwing more of my broadcast prep into the ether here's some random ideas I brought to our meetings today. ^ ^;
They're not wrong and this applies to so many sports (I've complained about similar re: NA LoL for example) in addition to just...life, but also I was kind of floored to find this comment in r/hockey of all places ^ ^;
