How A 2 HOUR GAME of Pro League of Legends Never Ended

[@NicolaiLol]

Start using Porofessor and maybe you'll be on stage playing a never ending esports match too! link.overwolf.com/porofessor-nicolai Also, I'm currently away from my usual set up so apologies for the different sounding audio. Will be back to normal next month!

[@2centschange]

I love playing against folks that use porofessor. They come into games acting overconfident seeing what its labeled me as I crush them every time. It really is hilarious to watch. Just two nights ago, had a nasus telling his team in all chat it was an easy win because I was a feeding support. Ended the game in a victory with hiugher KDA than him, most damage in the game, and a 14 minute victory. So please, keep using porofessor.

Riot: We’ll be refunding your tickets The crowd: aww Riot: And add $25 in riot points The crowd: YEAH

[@jyashin]

That's because in the US, Americans sort of just expect you to refund things when things go poorly. Like seriously, there's an entire website dedicated to customers expecting free shit just because one tiny insignificant detail is wrong on their order. No, you don't get a refund on your dinner just because your bag is the wrong shade of green. So Riot announcing refunding tickets was just the crowd going "oh wow, you want a cookie with that shit? Am I supposed to be impressed?"

The thing you described and what the other person said are 2 different situations.

[@hannahorse16]

I mean when youve sat throught multiple issues in hope to see the competition finish "refunding your tickets" is the nail in the coffin cementing that your left on a clifhanger and you cant watch the rest of thrle competition in person (at least not that day, with the possibility of not at all.) 😅 Riot points are a gun bonus for people who willingly sat through tech issues.

[@aleblasco39]

When the Spanish Superliga did an offline day of competition, they came to my city in one occasion but this day became the "SuperPausa Naranja" due to games constantly being delayed and paused which was weird because the first game happened without any hiccups. But the rest, holy shit, the last one was scheduled for 18:00 iirc but was postponed into another day due to this issue. I remember the last game that happened ended up at like near 22:00. And this was in 2018 so it wasn't in the beginning of League of Legends' esports

[@au4i944]

Too be fair, in hockey, if your stick is messed up you signal the coach to grab you another stick. He tosses it and you skate by and your good to go like a NASCAR pit stop. I know esports is gaming but the gamers should have excess equipment on standby instead of having to use someone else’s setup or sit in someone else’s chair. The players should be able to signal the coach and have a new chair swiftly exchanged.

[@prinstyrio0]

Agreed, it's all in good fun making fun of pro gamers because of the stigma of any sort of physical or mental discomfort is supposedly nothing compared to other sports (which I totally don't agree with), but then you do lack the same equal standards given. I'd probs shit myself in stress sitting at a computer that's not my own infront of an audience, let alone if I made a mistake that could cost my whole team the tournament. I'd rather wanna do a physical activity which is more likely to exhaust my brain so I don't overthink the whole situation and also numb me from minor discomforts.

[@NatiiixLP]

I cannot understand. Tournament matches in virtually all games are played offline, on a local network that only the players and the moderators are connected to. The match can then be proxied out onto the Internet for remote spectators, but the number of external spectators has no effect on the local network. So what the hell did Riot mess up so terribly about their infrastructure than they had a tournament match crash? Did they seriously run a local in-person tournament online over the Internet? Were they so ignorant and irresponsible?

There game probably needs to get certain assets from the server it's hosted on. I thought the same thing. That LAN would make way more sense.

Longest match i had was 2 and a half hours back in season 3. i was the game changer on the team and was top lane lulu with a broken attack speed build with all attackspeed runes at that time. my team was raging all match against me for not playing the way they wanted even tho i was beyond too outmatched against my top lane enemy champion i refused to talk back since i believed they would all report me. After 40 minutes of hearing them rage at me i held back and just guarded my turret leaving them to deal with a 4v5. the match kept going and around 80 minutes into it everyone was fully built but evenly matched and my team started raging at each other and the enemy team was doing the same thing and when we hit the 2 hour mark i finally responded to them and said "okay i think ill end it now". over the last 30 minutes i took every turret 1 by 1 untill i took the whole base. After it was over i didnt get reported but my teamates did by the enemy team. The enemy team honored me and 2 had apoligized for what they were reading in chat. btw the build was 2 phantom dancers, wits end, bork, bloodthirster, and runans. This was before the massive item and runes reworks.

By the time we got wrapped up I was able to sit down and watch the rest of the series play out. Jojopyun and Solo were both playing so well in that series and I was really hyped when EG won game 5. The next week, they defeated TL in a wild 5 game series to secure their spot in worlds. I wish Danny was as happy as I was.

why would they EVER base the tourney on WIFI when all the equipment is on stage, presumably on a preset version of the game meant for tourney gameplay only as well? How did people in the mid-2000s figure out proper local competitions with LAN setups better than a major game company?

[@jyashin]

Mid 2000s? Nobody had proper LAN setups back then. In those days most video game tournaments were played on consoles, where you had 2 or 4 people playing on the same system and sharing a screen. One of the reasons Korea had such a head start in organized video games was because they were the first to have dedicated LAN setups in Starcraft. And that was only a 1v1 game.
