I posted this on the dev forums, but having a concede function may actually save people from their own stupidity and won't abandon as many games, in turn not ruining as many games for people. Example - 25 minutes into a game, team A is winning every fight until they lose 3 in a row. Abandoned Player from Team A complains, wants to leave, but realizes he can forfeit in 15 minutes (40 min mark). At the 40 minute mark Team A has taken mid rax and is killing bot rax.

Magic??

Ofc there will still be dumbasses who abandon after 10 minutes, but they deserve what they get.

just introduce -apem mode, those games are faster and less serious, and the impatient types are likely never to return to normal games

Concede option is hands down a bad idea in every sense of match making. If you've ever played LoL or HoN you know how bad it is. If you want to forfeit just abandon.

With that said, has anyone else with Comcast been experiencing massive lag issues on Twitch.tv? 720+ is unwatchable for me for the past couple weeks, which makes no sense unless Comcast started throttling twitch like TWC has been. I'd call Comcast and have them fix it buuut im lazy.

Currently unwatchable.

Twitch.tv has been having some issues lately and they've been working on it, but personally I haven't had too much trouble.

Concede is good if done correctly, like at 40 minutes.

If you're in NA, the best way to get recognized and actually have a shot at joining a team is to playixdl invite. Although I really question your competitive interest when two posts ago you didn't know how to find the G1 stream/vods.

Lol, I haven't been following any circuit schedule. Haven't had time to watch anything but watch the Western Qualifiers, I was already on RR and couldn't load Twitch for whatever reason and didn't feel like going through multiple sites to figure out what it was since I was already here. I don't know how serious you are so I'm just posting this to defend my fragile internet ego. Anyway. Appreciate the info about who's who on the boards.

I really like Lumi's commentary, LD is way worse. His nasally voice is unbearable, on top of that he's overly critical of the players and he uses the worst analogies ever.

It's funny that you say this, because Luminous tries to copy LD when it comes to the over criticalness. The thing that bothers me the most is his shit fucking english.

So this International is going to be really interesting with iG doing poorly in the G1 finals. I had hoped TL would play better but hopefully TL will beat DK and move on.

Didnt IG get shitstomped last year in G1 as well? Memory is fuzzy.

And yea, it will be interesting to see who everyone sees as the favorites now that G1 is over for International3. Alliance played SO well, and not like its news to anyone but S4 is amazing, and Loda is too, he is so good at so many heroes.

Also, yea Comcast is stuttering terribly for me. Was watching in 720 now im stuttering at half that. =/

Yeah they did do bad last year. I wouldn't say Loda is amazing so much as his supports are amazing at allowing him to survive early game (because he's too aggressive usually) and create space for him to farm.

Yeah they didn't do that well, but I don't remember them getting stomped.

I think the team quality overall this year is much better than last year. It really seemed like the Chinese teams and NaVi were the only contenders before the International started and it ended that way too. So with a little more even playing field we should be in for some great matches.

I've found that most good teams have the best support in the world. Carry is probably one of the easier roles to play in my opinion.
